The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
??? Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
????But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.
??? Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
??? One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
??? That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.

A.Negative.B.Uncertain.C.Totally positive.D.Acceptive.

A.hunterB.directorC.biologistD.principal

One possible version:
It is known that there are a lot of inventions in history. Many of them play an important role in people's life and some even have greatly changed the world.
In my opinion, the mobile phone is the most important invention. The mobile phone makes it possible for us to communicate conveniently with others. We can get comfort whenever we are upset or we run into trouble. What’s more, with the rapid development of electronic equipment, the mobile phone is getting smaller but more powerful. Nowadays, we can also use a mobile phone to search for information or even shop online. How cool it is!
In a word, I do think that the mobile phone is the most important invention.

M: Jane, would you mind turning down the music?
W: Why? I thought you would like to listen to some music while working.
M: Yeah, but, you know, jazz and classical are not really my thing. I prefer folk.
Text 4
W: When does the school year start in Japan?
M: In April. Do you start in September?

M: That’s next month!

W: Well, my mom said I ought to get a really warm coat, so I tried on this long one, but my sister said the short one was more fashionable and so did the shop assistant.
M: But you bought the long one in the end.
W: Yeah.

W: ⑥Where shall we park our car?

M: Lily, where do you like to eat?
W: (13)Well, my favorite restaurant is The Knife and Talk. It’s very near the city center. (13)At lunch it’s full of office workers, but I like to go before that, in the middle of the morning. I go there and order big breakfast and take one of their newspapers and just relax for an hour or so. Their pancakes are delicious. (14)They don’t have a TV in there, which I love most. They just have some jazz music, very quiet, nothing too loud. What’s your favorite restaurant?
M: Well, it’s just a very simple restaurant. There are only about six tables in there. A couple of waitresses wear ugly pink uniforms. (15)But the food is great, very tasty, and cheap too, which is important, of course. There are some truck drivers sitting at the counter drinking coffee and eating sausages every morning. (16)I always have pancakes in the morning and their fish pie for lunch. That restaurant has been open for many years. They say the actor James Dean eats there sometimes, but I don’t think that’s true.

M: Now could everyone sit down, please? I’ve got an important announcement to make. As you know, the national school poetry competitions that we usually enter are starting soon. The competitions are sorted into three levels: the high level, the middle level and the low level. The high level is for 17-to-19-year-olds, and the middle level is for 14-to-16-year-olds. (17)But the one for people of your age, the low level, is the one we’d like you to go for. We hope all of you will try. As some of you may remember, the topic for last year was “Weather”. (18)This time the judges have chosen the topic “Change”, and that could cover a lot of things. A new school, a different house, for example.
(19)So if you want to enter the competition but you’re stuck for ideas, have a look at last year’s winning poem called Rain on the competition website. You may know the girl who wrote it—Maria from our school. She also got a little book of her poem called Traveling published as part of her prize. Maria won some money for the school. (20)If anyone in the school wins, we’d like to use the money for the library, as we feel that’s the right way for it to be spent. Maria’s prize money last year was spent on the computers and the lab. OK, that’s all from me. For more information, please visit our school’s website.
