Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb”, “He has told a white lie” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help.
Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?
Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.”
Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white
lie”?
Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.
Mrs. James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.

The sun can make the wind blow! The sun can make air move across the earth in a wind.
First, sunshine makes the earth warm. Then when the air is close to the earth, the earth makes it warm. As the air gets warmer, it also gets lighter. It goes up while cooler air moves in to fill its place. This is like a turning wheel (车轮) —— as one part is going up, another part is moving along the ground.
The warm air grows cool when it is high above the earth, and then it comes down again. Once more the earth warms it. Again it rises, and the great wheel of air keeps turning.
You can feel it turning on a hot day beside the sea or a lake. The earth receives more hear (热量) from the sun than the water does. This means that warm and light air grows above the earth, while the air above the water stays cool. When the warm, light air rises, the cooler air begins to move. It moves in over the land to fill the warm air’s place. That’s why you can feel a cool wind near the sea on a sunny day.
Some winds are formed (形成) by the turning of the earth itself.
( )51. The wind is made to blow by ____.
A. the earth B. the sun C. the air D. the water
( )52. When the wind blows, it should pass through ____.
A. one step (步骤) B. two steps C. three steps D. four steps
( )53. Winds are formed by ____.
a. the turning of the earth itself b. the moving of the cool air
c. the turning of the great wheel d. the moving of the warm air
A. a; b; c B. a; c; d C. b; c; d D. a; b; d
( )54. Which of the following pictures can explain the form of the wind?
( )55. The passage mainly tells us ____.
A. how the sun is turned into the wind B. how the wind forms
C. how the warm and cool air forms D. what the earth is about

Homesick is a compound word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME. ?

You may have heard of the famous saying，“East or West，home is the best.” What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means，it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising，because the idea of home is different from country to country，and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking，eating，talking，playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.21cnjy.com
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example，in cold northern Europe，there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south，where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out，there are small windows and cool stone floors.
We asked some people about their homes.
How often do people move house in your country?
“In my country many people don’t stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so.”
—Chery，Boston，USA.
What are features(特征) of homes in your country?
“In Britain，even in town，there’s always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often have balconies(阳台)．The weather isn’t warm enough！”
—Pat.Exeter，England

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
"Go to the marketplace," he said, "and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road." Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, "Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me."
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
"You see," said the old man, "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn't take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong."

“Don’t stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The great pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song. Soon, his right arm reached around the other side and played a beautiful piece of music. Together, the two impressed people with their beautiful music.
In all of our lives, we receive helping hands—some we notice, some we don’t. We also have lots of chances to give helping hands – sometimes we want people to know, sometimes we don’t. Little of what we all achieve comes without others’ help. What we receive we should give back.

Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment, too.
On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether 1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.
At Morton High School, students’ favorite clothing such as baggy(宽大的) trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops(紧身短背心) are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear, but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I’d be supportive if half the school was sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school are for education.”
“Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions(约束)”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China.
41. Many Chinese students think that ________.
A. American students are very free at school.
B. American students are not so clever as them
C. American students don't’ love their school at all.
D. American students are very rich.
42. 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for ________.
A. not finishing their homework B. being late for school
C. not wearing the right clothes D. laughing loudly in class
43. Some students in Morton High School think that they have the right to ________.
A. decide when to go to school B. choose what to wear
C. eat and drink in class D. laughing loudly in class
44. What does the underlined word “supportive” mean in Chinese?
A. 高兴的 B. 支持的 C. 害怕的 D. 难受的
45. What’s the writer’s attitude to the school dress rule?
A. Agree B. Disagree C. Not sure D. Disappointed

We all long for friendship, but how to make a friend? “The best time to make a friend is before you need one.” Joy Steven said. The following are some tips for you.
People equal friends. Friends usually begin with strangers. Getting in touch with other people is the first step to make a friend. Friends can’t be made in empty air. Best friends take time to make.
Friends understand friends. Friends understand each other when talking. Many unpleasant personal fights can be avoided if you will take the time to understand others’ feelings and points of view.
Friends touch friends. Touching is a warm form of communication between friends. When you see best friends communicating, you will notice them stand close together, touch each other comfortably and listen to each other. Sometimes a friendly touch is more powerful than words.
Friends praise friends. Praise is a powerful tool to make a friend. Honest praise can affect your friends’ lives. So try to praise your friends, including your general ones.
Friends can be loyal (忠诚的) and trustworthy. Trust and loyalty go hand in hand for friends. Friends can share secrets with you, because good friends never break confidence and are loyal forever.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously(小心翼翼) began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, “May I get you something ?” “A coffee would be nice.” Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, “How did you get to know Mr. Gal breath?” “Who?” “The man you were sitting with. He is the chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.” I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men! My few minutes with Mr. Gal breath changed my life.

I was 10 the year my cousin Marley’s parents gave her a painful Christmas surprise: they were getting a divorce(离婚). My aunt went to California, but my uncle decided to get her back. There was one matter: where to put his young daughter. Fortunately, my mother loved Marley, giving her more attention than her family ever did.
On that Christmas Eve, my cousin arrived on our doorstep carrying an old blue suitcase. Before she stepped inside, Marley said, “It doesn’t matter. When my parents come back, we’ll have a bigger Christmas than this.”
Late on the night Marley arrived, my mom came into my room, her arms filled with packages.I knew they were my Christmas presents. “I know how you love surprises but we have to decide which ones to give to Marley.”
My mother carefully opened the gifts. Wow! I saw ice skates, red leather gloves and a dollhouse. The last present was the music box we’d asked the lady at the local store to take down and play for us over and over again.
“Which ones?” my mother asked. “She can have the ice skates,” I said reluctantly(勉强地). “That’s good,” my mother said. She began to tape the packages up again. Then she stopped and asked, “Are you sure about these?” At that moment, I realized she expected more from me than I had already given. So I gave her the music box, too, and ___________. The next morning, Marley’s eyes were resolute(坚定的). She expected nothing and wanted us to know she didn’t care. But when she saw her name on the biggest box, she couldn’t hide her excitement.

Living and dealing with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you can not be close to anyone. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the care of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Here is an example: One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel--listening is the key factor to communication.
42. In the writer’s opinion, dealing with parents is ________ than with children.
A. more difficult B. easier
C. more uninteresting D. more interesting
43. The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A. the importance of friendship
B. the importance of communication
C. to make your feeling known to others
D. the disagreement between parents and children
44. The example in this passage shows that ________.
A. Sophie is very polite to her parents
B. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D. communication is the way to solve misunderstanding
45. All the following are correct except “________”.
A. Communication is a two-way deal
B. If you are not able to communicate, walk away
C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
D. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask (口罩), few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news anchor with China Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome. The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal (煤) and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog. To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don’t meet the standards (标准) for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles (颗粒) to pollute the air. To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.? In her film, Chai also emphasized (强调) that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai sees a dirt mound in a building site exposed in the air, and asks the person in charge to cover it. When she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities(过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later. Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to be concerned (关注) with the environment. This is what we need in the future.”
38. What is the main cause of smog according to Chai? A. Setting off too many fireworks. B. Burning too much coal and oil. C. Too many cars in big cities. D. Too many factories and companies.
39. Which of the following is NOT included in Chai’s suggestions towards reducing smog? A.Using cleaner energy. B. Cleaning coal and oil. C.Using gas and electricity. D. Replacing coal with wind energy.
40. What can we tell from the story? A. Only factories produce heavy smog.

A French-language daily in Belgium has issued(出版) what is thought to be Europe’s first 3D newspaper. But you must read it with a pair of special glasses.
All the photos and ads in La Derniere Heure’s (DH) special edition(版) were given a three-dimensional effect(3D效果), but the text remained the same.
DH’s editor said there were no further 3D plans because of the costs.
Reviewers in France spoke highly of the paper, but they said the overall result was“far from perfect”.
Editor Hubert Leclercq said it took two months to get ready for the special edition, which had a higher than normal print run of 115,000 copies for the stores selling newspapers.
“We hear about 3D cinema, television and video games, so we took up the challenge,” Mr. Leclercq told the AFP news agency.
According to PC World’s French edition, readers could get the best results by holding the paper 50cm from the eyes in a well-lit area.
“It takes a few minutes to get used to pictures in 3D,” it said, noting the limited quality of the viewing lenses(镜片).
It’s said some of the images - especially the ads - had a good 3D effect, but that other pictures were not clear or difficult to look at.
42. The Europe’s first 3D newspaper was from .
A. Belgium B. France C. Germany D. America
43. in La Derniere Heure’s (DH) special edition had a three-dimensional effect.
A. All the pictures and the text B. All the ads and the text
C. All the pictures and ads D. Only the text

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.
　　When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.
　　Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
　　One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
　　She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”
　　Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

It is a beautiful day. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. What could be more interesting than a bike ride? But wait!
●Going for a bike ride is a lot of fun, but accidents often happen. Every year, about 300,000 kids are taken to hospital because of bike injures.

I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a small child.”

The number of rural(乡村的) left-behind children under 17 years old has increased to 61.02 million, according to a report. These children’s parents leave them with their grandparents or other family members in order to make money in cities.
Sichuan Province and Henan Province have the highest percentage of rural left-behind children. Together with Anhui Province, Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, these five provinces have 43.64% of the country’s rural left-behind children, the report says.
The report finds that left-behind children are mainly in the central and western provinces. But the developed eastern areas also face similar problems, the report says. Guangdong Province has the most left-behind children, with 4.34 million, followed by Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and Beijing.
“What I’m worried about most is the schooling of my child, as I have no time to help her with her homework.” Said An Baiyou, a truck driver from Shangdong Province, who has been leaving his 10-year-old daughter with his parents while driving trucks in other provinces. “However, to make money or to take care of the child, you can only choose one side.”
Wang Zhenyao, the president of Beijing Normal University Institute of Public Welfare, says that if the left-behind children problem can’t be solved, it will affect the nation’s future.
