Jack is fifteen and he always gets good grades at school. You may think he spends all his time studying, but in fact, he spends some time doing housework every week.

We can do many interesting chemical tests in our class. Today, we will use CO to blow up a balloon! Mixing baking soda (小苏打) with vinegar (醋) together can give off the CO .
What you’ll need(1) A balloon (2) About 40 ml of water (3) A soft drink bottle (4) Vinegar (5) A teaspoon of baking soda
Instructions●Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up. ●Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. ●Add the baking soda and mix it with water. ●Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. What’s happening If all goes well, then the balloon should become bigger and bigger! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical effect. The baking soda is a base (碱), while the vinegar is an acid (酸). When the two are mixed, they’ll create CO . The gas rises up and runs away through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t get away from the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.

Bees are amazing animals that not only make delicious honey but also help humans in many ways in our world. Do you know that there are around 20,000 kinds of bees worldwide 15 Without bees, we wouldn’t have any food! When bees fly around, they carry pollen from one plant to another, helping the new plants to grow. 16 They can also help fruits and vegetables grow.
17 They’re losing their living places because the places they live are disappearing. Also, they are not feeling well because of chemicals on plants, and the changing weather is making life harder for them.
As we know, bees live in houses that we call hives (蜂巢) . There are three kinds of bees, worker bees, drones (雄蜂) , and queen bees. 18 Drones, on the other hand, don’t work. Before winter arrives, drones are either killed or driven away from the hive. The queen bee is the most important, being the largest andthe only one that can lay eggs in the hive.
19 The queen bee lays lots of eggs, up to 800,000 in her life. But with the help of these clever robot bees, she can lay even more eggs, making sure a larger number of bees do their important jobs.

Matt Green decides to walk every street in all five boroughs (行政区) of New York City. The journey is around 8,000 miles and is expected to take him over two years to complete.
In 2010, the 31-year-old Matt Green walked across the United States from Rockaway Beach, Queens to Rockaway Beach, Ore. The journey took five months, during which he walked about 20 miles a day. The plan then took a break from the work force. So Mr. Green spent the next year and a half working small jobs while he chose where to walk next. Finally, at noon on December 31, he started from Staten Island with a new idea in his mind: to walk every street in every borough of New York City.
New York is a city of walkers. Many people have walked every street in Manhattan. The historian John McNamara,who died in 2004, walked every street in the Bronx. But Mr. Green believes he is the first to try for every block in all five boroughs—a journey of about 8,000 miles. He thinks that the plan will take him more than two years of full-time walking to complete.
“This walk is a way of understanding a place on its own terms instead of taking someone else’s word for it,” Mr. Green said.
20．How long will it take to complete Matt Green’s new journey
A．Half a year. B．More than 1 year. C．More than 2 years. D．3 years.
21．How old is Matt Green in 2014
A．35. B．36. C．37. D．38.
22．Mr. Green stopped during his journey of walking across the US ________.
A．because of his joblessness B．because of his illness
C．because of the weather D．because of his family
23．According to the passage, Bronx is ________.
A．a borough of Washington D．C B．a borough of Manhattan
C．a city of America D．a borough of New York City
24．This passage is probably ________.

Now satellites are helping to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the meteorologists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the meteorologists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
25．Why can the meteorologists tell us how the weather will change
A．Because they are able to guess the weather.
B．Because they study the pictures sent by satellites.
C．Because they observe the clouds in the sky.
D．Because they study the change of the wind.
26．The satellites can ________.
A．often say how the weather will change
B．forecast the weather for 24 or 48 hours
C．receive pictures from sixty countries
D．reach any part of the world
27．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean in Chinese
A．气象学家 B．气象播音员 C．电脑工程师 D．天文学家
28．The meteorologists can forecast the weather for ________ so far.
A．one to two days B．three to five days
C．over a week D．more than a month
29．What’s the best title for this passage
A．Weather Change B．Weather Forecasting
C．The Weathermen D．Weather Satellites
Last summer, I took a trip to Hong Kong. Usually, I would spend months preparing (准备) for my trips, but this time, I just packed my bags and started off. I felt a little nervous but excited to explore (探寻) Hong Kong.
At first, I didn’t feel anything special. Hong Kong looked just like any other big city, with tall buildings, busy streets and lots of cars. It made me think of my home city, Mumbai. But later, I found many special things about it. Here are some of my favorite moments from this trip.
One evening, I hiked up Victoria Peak to see the city lights. The sight was amazing! When it was time to go down, I chose to take the tram (有轨电车). The ride was fast and exciting!
During my stay in Hong Kong, I spent a lot of time ferrying (乘渡轮) from one island (岛) to another. One evening, I took a ferry across Victoria Harbour (维多利亚港). The city lights shone around me as the soft wind blew through my hair. I enjoyed every second of the ride.
One day, after climbing a hill in Cheung Chau, I was out of breath (气喘吁吁). But guess what At the top, I found a Chinese-style pavilion (中式亭子). I sat there for a long time. Everything around me was so beautiful that I didn’t want to leave.
Hong Kong is also a great place for food lovers. I don’t eat meat very often, but I couldn’t resist a bowl of beef noodles there. The beef, noodles, and even the soup were very delicious. Now I can still remember how good they tasted!

Do you want to be a better learner Here are three good learning habits. They can help you study effectively (有效地) and save you lots of time.
First, make a study plan. Decide when you will do your homework, review (复习) what you learnt and get ready for new lessons. For example, you can do your maths homework right away after school, then spend some time going over the English words you learnt today. A good study plan can help you use your time wisely and keep your study organised.
Second, take notes in class. For example, when the teacher is talking, write down the important things. Use pens in different colours to mark the key points. This way, you can quickly find what you need later.
Third, review regularly. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying. Review what you have learnt every few days. Spend just 15 minutes each time reviewing your notes and textbooks. Regular review helps you remember better.
So start developing these learning habits from now on, and you’ll find learning easier and more interesting!
34．What can the good learning habits help you do
A．Get the best grades. B．Make good friends.
C．Save lots of time. D．Read more books.
35．What is the good point (优点) of making a study plan
A．It helps you to use your time wisely.
B．It makes studying more interesting.
C．It helps you understand your classmates.
D．It makes your homework easy.
36．The underlined word “regularly” means “________” in Chinese.

Don’t let your kids drag their feet (拖拖拉拉) over doing housework. Help them to make the boring housework enjoyable.
Work as a team. A simple and great way to make cleaning fun is to do it together. Play some beautiful music while you are doing housework. Then you won’t feel bored.
Get lucky. If your kids like surprises, write housework on ice cream and have each kid pick one. Tell them they can change their picks if each of them agrees. In this way, they will have a feeling of making a choice.
Make it playtime. Turn “kitchen time” into a party. Let one child be a cook and another be a DJ. The cook chooses to help make dinner. The DJ chooses the music to play. Everyone can dance around the kitchen while preparing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen later.
Find more difficult housework. One of my friends was trying to get her kids to help out around the house, and someone advised her to give the kids some things like candies or toys as rewards. The advice worked like magic. However, rewards usually don’t work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same housework all the time. At this time, give them some difficult housework. If they can already help clean the cage (笼子) of the pet well, make it harder by having them clean the cage all by themselves. Then, ask them to clean it faster.
38．What is Paragraph 2 about
A．Doing housework with kids.
B．Showing your kids good ways of doing housework.
C．Playing for a while after finishing the housework.

Asking your loved one for advice shows that you care about him or her. It shows that you know the importance of making decisions together, especially if a decision makes a difference to the two of you. 49

All living things need food to survive. Many animals eat plants. Animals can also eat other kinds of animals. Animals that eat other animals are predators (捕食者).

Many plants and animals are linked (联系) together in food chains. A food chain is a group of plants and animals that get energy from each other. Let’s look at how one forest food chain works. An ant eats part of a plant. A frog is the ant’s predator. The frog eats the ant. However, the frog has a predator, too. There is a snake waiting to eat the frog. What will eat the snake An eagle is flying in the sky and looking for food. It sees the snake and dives (俯冲) down to catch it, so the eagle is the top predator.

I grew up in the countryside. It helped me learn more practical skills (技能) than others who grew up in cities. I learned to cook at around 10 years old. The first skill I had was making dumplings. Later, I cooked fried dishes. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax myself. Now working from home, I cook every meal. It saves money and I don’t have to wait for delivery (递送) drivers to feed me.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me things that others at my age still don’t know. I once discussed these with my friends from the city. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things.
Some might say we can learn these things from textbooks. . It brings a new way to look at the world. You will value (珍惜) everything on your plate. This may be why I’m happy to hear that labour (劳动) education is needed in China. Students in primary and middle schools can have at least one class every week to learn some household skills like cooking and cleaning. Believe me. These practical skills will help you for the rest of your life.

When the clock turned one, a light appeared in the room. Scrooge jumped up from his bed, and found himself face to face with a ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Scrooge looked at it with his eyes wide open. It was very strange. Its long hair was white like an old man’s, but there were no wrinkles on its face. It wore a white tunic (袍子).
When the Ghost took Scrooge and flew towards the window of the second floor, he was afraid. “I’m a mortal (凡人),” said Scrooge, “I’ll fall.”
The Ghost laid its hand on Scrooge’s heart and said, “You won’t fall!”
As it spoke, they passed through the window. And they stood on a country road.
“Good Heavens!” said Scrooge, as he looked around. “I grew up here. I was a boy here!”
They walked along the road. And Scrooge remembered every tree and every gate. All these boys were happy and shouting to each other. A feeling of nostalgia filled his heart

He sat there for a long time.
“I wish back then, I could just run out and enjoy the Christmas with my classmates,” Scrooge said, after drying his eyes with his sleeve, “but it’s too late now.”
“What’s the matter ” asked the Ghost

Today, it is a big problem for young people to get fine jobs after they leave universities. There are different kinds of jobs in the world. But how should young people choose the right one That often worries them.
“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people can’t get right jobs. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after you leave school or university.
First, it is important to know what kind of person you are, what special qualities (特质) you have and what you are interested in. There is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse and it looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill.
Then ask yourself a question, “Of the following three skills—skill with people, skill with information and skill with things, which is my best skill ”
After finding out your best skill, the next step is to study carefully. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do.
