During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm.

Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play; covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own feature. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.

Between the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, plenty of people paid more attention to tea. People thought of it as the symbol of spirit.

Are you still worried about how to get your phone charged(充电)? Now, a 19-year-old teenager can help you to solve this problem. He has invented a phone charger which uses energy from your own body to charge your phone.
Hand Energy, the wonderful invention of the inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by shaking your hand, which starts the charger's gyroscope(陀螺仪) to produce electricity. And the electricity can then either be stored or used to charge a phone immediately.
He said, “With each rotation(旋转) of your hand, the gyroscope's speed increases quickly and produces more power. The average speed of the gyroscope is about 5,000 rounds per minute. With this small charger, your physical energy can be turned into electrical energy and this means you can charge your phone.”
Hand Energy can help you produce endless electricity. You can use it everywhere you want. It is especially useful for people who have to spend a long time in the wilds. What's more, it's friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. It takes between 40 minutes and one hour to fully charge the batteries(电池) in the Hand Energy.
The invention took Vaga a year to develop. Now, the inventor from Minsk, Belarus, is ready to put it into production and send out the creative convenient chargers. Its price is 99 euros (84 pounds).
8.If we want to produce energy with the charger, we should .?
A.shake our hands B.move quickly
C.go to the wild D.charge our phones
9.Who will be interested in the invention most?
A.The teachers. B.The medical workers.
C.The drivers. D.The field workers.
10.It is not clear whether or not, according to the passage.?
A.the more you shake, the more power it produces
B.the charger helps to protect the environment
C.we can buy the charger online in China
D.its price is 84 pounds
11.Which could be the best title of the passage?
A.A wonderful invention B.A great inventor
C.An interesting story D.An exciting trip
D
Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?
Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”
“My head hurts,” the road worker said, “I can't do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!”
Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.
“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble.”
Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.
“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”
The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker's hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.
“Are you the road worker?” it asked.
It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.
Hannay said “yes”. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.
Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.
“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He's sick.”
At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay's hearts beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming…
12.What is this passage probably taken from?
A.A history book. B.A travel book. C.A novel. D.A science book.
13.Who did NOT come by while Hannay was working on the road?
A.The surveyor. B.The road worker's daughter.
C.Hannay's enemies. D.A village boy.
14.What can we infer from the story?
A.Hannay helped the road worker because he was warm-hearted.
B.The grassy hills were perfect hiding places for Hannay.
C.The surveyor had a lot of working experience.
D.The village boy knew the road worker.
15.What is the correct order of the story?

②Hannay was worried because his enemies were following him.
③A car stopped near Hannay and three men got out.

I'm going to study in the senior middle school in September. I can live either at school or at home. But I can't decide because both have advantages and disadvantages. At home, I have my own room. So I can have a good sleep. However, I have to share one room with 5 students at school. Maybe I can't sleep well. It's a problem. Although I can have better food at home, I enjoy eating with my classmates. I think it's great fun and I can make more friends. If I live at home, I'll have to ride to school. It's a waste of time and not safe.

Do you ever forget a face? If not, then you could be a “super recognizer”.
Usually it's easy for someone to recognize(识别) the faces of their family and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they've only seen once.
However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 percent of faces they've seen. At least one in 50 people are super recognizers, reported Daily Mail.
Bournemouth University of UK recently carried out a study. They tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces.
They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the persons' noses.
Researchers also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability usually only helps them recognize faces.
important finding is that there are subtypes(子类型) of super recognition.?
Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.
In fact, many super recognizers say they are good at “spotting”(认出) faces in a crowd.
These subtypes of super recognition could be used in many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help the police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.
8. Whose face can an ordinary person remember easily?
A.A foreigner's. B.A friend's.
C.A troublemaker's. D.A missing person's.
9. According to the passage, which part of the body helps a lot in recognizing faces?
A.Eye. B.Ear.
C.Mouth. D.Nose.
10. Which word can best fit in the blank in Paragraph 7?
A.One. B.Other.
C.The other. D.Another.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The study of super recognizers.
B.How to remember faces.
C.The use of super recognition.
D.Ways of being super recognizers.

How do you deal with plastic bags? Throw them away or reuse them? How about eating them? An Indian company named EnviGreen has made a kind of bag with natural ingredients. The bags look just like plastic ones, but they can be broken down in a few seconds. They bring no harm to the environment. People can even eat them.
EnviGreen Founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years doing experiments with a combination of 12 natural ingredients. They include potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid (液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.
Although an EnviGreen bag is about 35 percent more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to The Wall Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.
According to India's Minister of State for Atmosphere, Forest and Weather Change, the country produces more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9,000 tons are processed (处理). In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.
12.According to Paragraph 1, which is NOT true about the EnviGreen bag?
A.It is made from natural materials.
B.It does a little harm to the environment.
C.It can break down easily.
D.It can be eaten by people.
13.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Who founded the EnviGreen company.
B.How Hedge made the EnviGreen bag.
C.What Hedge thought of the new bag.
D.Why Hedge made the bag.
14.What is the disadvantage of the bag?
A.It is more expensive than a normal bag.
B.It takes a long time to break down.
C.It takes a long time to make.
D.It cannot hold heavy things.
15.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.India produces the most plastic waste in the world.
B.India has processed all its plastic waste.
C.China produces more plastic waste than India.
D.The EnviGreen bag may solve the problem of plastic pollution.

I don't know how I did it. While the airplane was climbing, I was asking myself a lot of questions. For example, what would my parents think of me if the parachute didn't work? The master jumper looked at me and said, “Don't worry. We'll be with you.”
Then, I looked at my altimeter. We were at 10,000 feet. I looked at the door, and the light had turned green.
“Are you ready?” the master jumper asked me.
“Yes, I am.” I answered him.
We walked to the door. There were two master jumpers who would jump with me. One was on my left, and the other was on my right. I followed all the steps, and then we jumped.
I was flying! I looked at my master jumpers. They were with me, and they were smiling. I felt relaxed. I had to wait until I was at 6,000 feet to pull the rope.

Recently, a designer in Hong Kong has invented a special book that can transform(变形) into a piece of furniture. The special book is called Bookniture. It can be unfolded to become a chair or a small table. People can either carry it around for a portable(轻便的) chair or can store it in their homes to use as extra furniture.
The book was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.
“I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone—we would always end up with just sitting on the floor. I really want a seat that doesn't take up any floor space when I don't need it. One day, the empty space on my bookcase drew my attention. Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book,” said the 30-year-old designer.
Made from fully-recyclable kraft paper(牛皮纸), the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm. It expands(扩大) to 14 times bigger once it's opened, and can support up to 1,000 kg of weight. It comes in two colors, brown and black, and can be bought for between ￡55 and ￡57.
8.The book is special because .?
A.it can be used as a bag to carry things B.it is made from recyclable plastic
C.it can hold up to 1,000 kg of weight D.it can be changed into a chair or a table
9.Paragraph 3 is about .?
A.how Mike came up with the idea B.who designed Bookniture
C.what Bookniture looks like D.why Mike has so many friends
10.What information can we learn about Bookniture from the last paragraph?
①size ②color ③weight ④price ⑤material
A.①②③④ B.①②④⑤ C.①③④⑤ D.①②③④⑤
11.What can be the best title for this passage?
A.Mike Mak B.Furniture C.Bookniture D.Bookseller
D
She is everything you would hope a hero to be. She has courage, power, beauty, grace and love. Who is she? She is Diana Prince, the princess of the Amazons. She is ready for the role of a lifetime—to become the hero the world has been waiting for—in the Wonder Women film, which became a great hit all over the world in June, 2017.
The film begins on the all-female island named Themyscira where Diana was born. Ever since she was a young girl, Diana has longed to be a warrior(勇士). Though her mother attempts to hold her back from training, she still trains in secret, hoping to protect the innocent(无辜的人) and fight for peace.
Diana's world is turned upside down when she discovers a man, Steve Trevor, washed up to the shore. He is saved by the princess, and tells her about a world war that is happening outside the island. Diana feels a great need to help save the world because she can't just stand by while innocent lives are suffering. So she decides to leave her homeland to join Steve to try to end the war.
In Wonder Women, the battle scenes are a visual treat(视觉盛宴) for the audience, with Diana fighting with her sword and shield and tossing around some enemies with her golden Lasso of Truth(真言套索).
What is the whole story behind this DC Comic's greatest heroine? What challenges will she face on her way to becoming the unconquerable warrior? You are able to find it out by yourself in the film!
12. What is the use of Steve Trevor in the film?
A.To help Diana look stronger. B.To show Diana's great power.

I have recently done a survey about how students find study partners.
Some students find study partners through the Internet. They believe it's convenient to find partners to study on the Internet. Besides, they can get help from study partners whenever necessary. Some students prefer to join clubs to find study partners so that they can share experience face to face. What's more, they think working out problems together helps learn more easily.
As for me, I'd like to get study partners by going to summer camps because I can learn something new while having fun. Also, it's a good way to learn how to get on well with others.

Astronauts have very busy lives. Each day they are carefully planned by mission(任务) control. The 12-hour working day on the International Space Station(ISS) begins with a wake-up call. After a quick wash with a wet cloth, the crew(全体乘务员) have breakfast and run through the jobs for the day.
Space stations are like large houses that need much care and attention. Much of the crew's time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments.
At least two hours each day is spent on exercise. It is necessary to keep the crew healthy. In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a desert island. A crew of two or three astronauts has to survive far from home for weeks or months.
If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team. Crew members have to learn to share jobs such as cleaning and repairs. They also have to talk about problems and discuss how to deal with them.
Astronauts first feel the influence of weightlessness(失重) when the rocket engines are turned off. Straight away, they begin to float(漂浮), held down only by seat belts. Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear super strong. They can lift objects that would be far too heavy to move on the earth.
Without the influence of gravity(重力), astronauts become weak. To stay fit, they have to exercise several hours each day. In a space station, there is no up or down. There is no difference between a floor and a ceiling(天花板). This can make astronauts feel sick until they get used to this strange environment.
4.Astronauts on the International Space Station work for hours every day.?
A.8 B.10 C.11 D.12
5.What is the crew's time mainly used for?
A.Exercising. B.Doing scientific experiments.
C.Reading. D.Connecting with the ground.
6.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Astronauts need to work as a team.
B.Weightlessness makes astronauts become strong.
C.There are up and down in a space station.
D.Astronauts exercise one hour each day.
7.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Astronauts' Lives in the Space Station
B.The Influence of Weightlessness
C.How to Live in the Space Station
D.How to Exercise in the Space Station

American schools are different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must choose their courses and teachers first. While in China, students usually have no chances to choose their courses and teachers.
Selecting(选择) is very important for students in America. So at the first term, don't select too many courses, or you'll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time planning, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages students to ask questions or show their ideas. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don't give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.
8.You'd better not select too many courses at the first term because .?
A.you will feel worried
B.there is not enough time
C.teachers always give too much homework
D.some subjects are too difficult
9.Which of the following is NOT true about a “killer”?
A.Leave too much homework.
B.Give too low grades in the exam.
C.Always be late for class.
D.Give too many exams.
10.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The textbooks are always very expensive in America.
B.Some students borrow textbooks from the school library to save money.
C.The teacher encourages students to discuss in class.
D.Students must take their own seats in class.
11.What's the best title of the passage?
A.The Wonderful American Class
B.The Difference between American and Chinese Schools
C.The Study Method of American Students
D.Teachers Play an Important Role in American

On Miriam Gardsbane's 9th birthday two years ago, her aunt gave money to a group that cares for elephants. The woman, who lives in Kenya, told the group she was giving the money to celebrate Miriam's birthday. Miriam and her mother then visited Africa to learn how that money was helping to support elephants. Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.
A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a documentary about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's campaign to save them. Miriam decided to make her own effort to raise money to save elephants.
Last year, Miriam created a group called They Deserve to Be Free after seeing a programme that showed young elephants being mistreated in Thailand.
She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts. She made and sold baked goods, and made signs about elephant abuse.
She also created a plan to make and sell clay elephants. She asked her art teacher to help her make the elephants.
Miriam says she is lucky because her mother and her art teacher support her. Her father says Miriam is serious about helping the animals. He says that what her daughter is doing is making her a little bit more mature.
Miriam now knows a lot more about animals and what is happening to them.
She is proud of her work, and is happy that she can help elephants. She and her friends often sell their clay elephants at a local farmers' market.
Last year, she sold about $2,000 worth of them and sent all of that money to the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand.
12.Miriam Gardsbane is years old now.?
A.9 B.10 C.11 D.12
13.They Deserve to Be Free is .?
A.a group to help elephants B.an elephant
C.a girl's name D.a programme
14.Miriam is a little more mature because .?
A.she is serious about helping the animals
B.she can make clay elephants
C.she can make money
D.she falls in love with elephants
15.From the passage we can know that Miriam is a(n) girl.?
A.creative B.beautiful
C.warm-hearted D.interesting

If I have the chance to go travelling, I would like to travel with my parents.
Don't you think it's safer for us to travel with our parents? With the help of our parents, we will not get lost. Our items won't be stolen and we won't be robbed by others, either. Besides, parents can look after us well, especially when we fall ill or get injured. What's more, we could spend more time with our family. The better we get on with family, the more we love each other. Last but not least, parents could relax themselves by travelling as well.
For the reasons above, I'd like to travel with my parents. I think travelling will be more wonderful with my parents.

Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods or services by mail delivery(邮递). The buyer places an order for the desired products with the salesman through some remote methods such as through a telephone call or a website. Then, the products are delivered to the customer. The products are typically delivered directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home address, but sometimes the orders are delivered to a nearby retail location for the customer to pick up. Some businessmen also allow the goods to be shipped directly to a third customer, which is an effective way to send a gift to an out-of-town friend.
A mail order catalogue(目录) is a publication including a list of ordinary goods from a company. Companies who publish and operate mail order catalogues are treated as cataloguers within the industry. Goods are produced by people all over the world, such as in Australia, the USA, Canada, China etc. And now many cataloguers, just as with most retailers(零售商), are increasingly buying goods from China.

Last month, on Oct. 15, there was a marathon(马拉松赛) in the city of Luoyang, Henan Province. A lot of people in and around the city took part in it.
It was Sunday. There were some clouds in the sky in the early morning but the sun was shining when the race began. Eighteen boys and girls in my class, as well as four of my teachers, gathered on the south side of Luohe River to take part in the marathon. It was the first time that we had been in a marathon. We were excited and had fun running with people. We had to run 10 km. It was not a race, but an event to challenge ourselves. We helped each other during the run. When someone fell behind, others would go to encourage him or her not to give up. Tired but happy, all of us made it in about 90 minutes.
The marathon is like life, in which we can choose whether or not to keep going when we feel tired or meet difficulties. The biggest enemy(敌人) is ourselves, whom we should fight with and defeat(打败). We never know what will happen in the future, but what we can do is to try our best. If we can keep running, success will belong to us, because it's impossible to defeat a person who never gives up.
Challenges make life interesting and meaningful. This very first marathon will always be remembered as an unforgettable event in my life.
4. How many people took part in the race in our school?
A.Four. B.Fourteen. C.Eighteen. D.Twenty-two.
5. During the race, we .?

A.should fight with and defeat the others during the race
B.must try our best to do everything
C.can defeat a person who never gives up
D.don't feel tired or meet difficulties in the marathon

Do you know how chocolate is made? Recently my class had a field trip to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Toronto, Canada.
We were divided into 10 groups and visited an old building. The guide first explained the history of the factory. Then we got some earbuds(耳塞) to protect our ears from the noise of the machines. We also needed to wear disposable(一次性的) lab clothes and hairnets(发网) to make sure we didn't dirty their work area.
After these preparations, we went upstairs and entered the chocolate-making area. The floor was filled up with many machines. Each machine had a different job. The whole floor only had two people working, because machines did most of the work. Next, the guide explained the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago, and there were more than 1,000 people working in the factory. But now the factory is very different. It's amazing how technology is changing people's life.
Later, we saw the chocolate-making process. We got a cocoa bean, some powdered(粉状的) chocolate and a final chocolate product. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It tasted bitter, kind of like dark chocolate. It is the raw material used to make chocolate. The powdered chocolate tasted good already. It is a combination of cocoa beans, milk and sugar. The final product tasted delicious.
Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is. I also learned about the chocolate industry.

“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his finger through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.
Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror's silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.
“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That's easy,” Peter said. “I'll take the chicken.” Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.
“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don't know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”
Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only coloured glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”
“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “ I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?”Peter smiled.“Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn't worry their food any more—all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

The graph shows the results of a survey in which students were asked about their preferred devices for going online. There are four main devices in their answers: a smartphone, a laptop, a tablet and a desktop computer.
From the chart it is clear that most students prefer to use smartphones and laptops. Nearly a third of students prefer to go online with a smartphone. Thirty per cent like to use a laptop. A desktop computer accounts for fourteen per cent of users' preferred devices. Only few students prefer a device other than these main four.
In conclusion, since mobile and portable devices are the most popular choices, it is clear that many students like to take them around. The desktop is too heavy to carry and hard to use, so it is the least popular.

(NEW YORK) A French tourist was highly praised for saving a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before jumping into the cold East River. Tuesday's Daily News said the 29-year-old young man who left the spot quickly after bringing the girl to safety last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank near a museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had jumped in after him.
“I didn't think at all.” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”
Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the bank when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he walked close to the river. Without thinking twice, he took off his coat and jumped into the water at once.
“When he reached the girl, she seemed lifeless,”he said. Fortunately, when she was taken out of the water, she opened her eyes slowly.
Anderson said his daughter fell off the bank while he was checking his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed clothes from onlookers(旁观者). Duret caught a bus with his girlfriend shortly after.
The story happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his story had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.
“I don't really think I'm a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”

Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for children and family visitors.

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may wash the dishes, put laundry away or take out the trash. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people don't think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育家) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”
Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(数字的)gifts that can be used either online or in life.
With the app ChoreMonster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.
“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, ” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive power to make them do chores.”
8. According to the passage, some children get rewards from their parents because .?
A.they get high marks in the exam
B.they help their parents do some housework
C.they never play computer games
D.they have good habits in their daily life

Did you have any interesting dreams last night? Do you know everyone dreams? But not everyone remembers their dreams. A person can usually have up to seven dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes.
Why do we dream? Scientists believe that we dream to remember because dreams come from our memories and they tell us a lot about ourselves. They also help us learn from the past and even help us solve problems.
Different dreams mean differently to people. For example, if you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good time in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader. And when you dream that you didn't study for a test, it usually means you are worried about an important thing coming in your life.
参考答案
Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。作者从小就挚爱滑冰,对他来说,滑冰就是他人生的全部。但不幸的是,在一次表演中他摔倒了,并且伤得很严重,再也不能进行他心爱的滑冰运动。 在几个月的痛苦煎熬之后,他开始重新审视自己的人生道路。几个月后,作者开始对美术感兴趣,并逐渐走出了心理阴影并重新获得自信。他的人生经历让我们明白:当人生之路上有巨石挡路时,我们不能选择后退而是要设法爬过去。
1.B 考查连词辨析。分析上文“从很小的时候,我对自己想成为一名什么样的人就有很强烈的意识”以及下文“一次事故让我重新审视自己”之间应是转折关系,故选B。
2.C 考查不定代词辨析。根据上文“对我来说,滑冰是最重要的”。推测下文应意为“没有什么事情能像滑冰那样令我心中充满欢乐”,nothing意为“没有什么事情”,故选C。
3.A 考查名词辨析。skill意为“技巧”;behavior意为“行为”;thought意为“想法”;habit意为“习惯”。句意:我一周要花费24个小时来练习滑冰技巧。由常识可知滑冰运动需要练习提高技巧,故选A。

6.B 考查名词辨析。理解上下文语境可知,作者在进行了X光及磁共振的检查之后,是“医生”告诉他以后不能再回归滑冰运动了。故选B。
7.B 考查形容词辨析。useful意为“有用的”;basic意为“基本的”;proper意为“适当的”;busy意为“忙碌的”。由句中关键词“daily tasks (日常活动)”,可推测作者不但背部疼痛难忍,甚至连“基本的”日常活动都变得很困难,故选B。
8.D 考查动词短语辨析。find out意为“查明”;bring back意为“恢复”;wake up意为“唤醒”;take away意为“带走”。由下文“我对要成为一名什么的人几乎没有意识了”,可推测上文应意为“随着我对滑冰的激情被带走”,空白处意为“带走”,故选D。
9.A 考查动词辨析。change意为“改变”;remain意为“保留”;leave意为“离开”;arrive意为“到达”。由下文“与其每天痛苦地到处坐着浪费时光,我开始把我的精力投入到当地社会服务活动项目中去” 。句意:在八个月的痛苦煎熬之后,事情必须要进行一些改变了,故选A。
10.A 考查名词辨析。energy意为“精力”;duty意为“职责”;wealth意为“财富”;sprit意为“精神”。由下文作者所述的活动“投入到当地社会服务活动项目中去”,可知空白处应意为“精力”,故选A。
11.C 考查连词用法辨析。句意:通过在志愿者活动中作游泳老师和暑期儿童阅读助理老师。空白后面是两个表示职业的名词,因此空白处应用介词as,故选C。
12.A 考查动词辨析。want意为“想要”;start意为“开始”;promise意为“许诺”;live意为“居住,生活”。句意:通过在志愿者活动中作游泳老师和暑期儿童阅读助理老师,我有了想成为一个什么样的人的想法。空白处意为“想要”,故选A。
13.D 考查动词辨析。run意为“跑”;jump意为“跳”;stand意为“站立”;step意为“走出”。由句中关键短语“Little by little (逐渐地)”,可知作者逐渐地从心理阴影中走出了并重新树立了自信,空白处意为“走出”,故选D。
14.B 考查形容词辨析。small意为“小的”;large意为“大的”;ugly意为“丑陋的”;round意为“圆的”。理解语境可知,本句意为“有时候,一些巨石阻碍了我们的道路”,空白处应意为“巨大的”,故选B。
15.C 考查动词辨析。manage意为“设法”;help意为“帮助”;fail意为“失败”;continue意为“继续”。由下文“今天我是一名很自信和乐观的人”,可推测上文应意为“我的事故是一块没有阻碍我走向人生成功的巨石”,空白处意为“失败”,故选C。

When did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18.
Generally compared to a mother's gentle love, a father represents(代表) qualities like independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure.
Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.
For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating(合作),” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.
US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You don't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick(砖) every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on the TV show Charlie Rose.
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” British poet George Herbert(1593—1632) once said. Do you agree?
8.What chance can you get on the coming Father's Day?
A.To express love to your father.
B.To remember your father's love.
C.To celebrate and relax yourself.
D.To get mountains of presents.
9.Which of the following belongs to a father's qualities?
A.Independence, confidence, courage and gentle love.
B.Confidence, patience, adventure and courage.
C.Independence, confidence, courage and adventure.
D.Confidence, courage, adventure and gentle love.
10.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Bill Gates changed much with the help of his father.
B.Bill Gates liked parties very much when he was young.
C.Soccer and swimming were popular a long time ago.
D.A child should be quiet no matter where he or she is.
11.What does the sentence “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters” mean?
A.The growth of a child needs 100 schoolmasters.
B.One father is more important than 100 schoolmasters.
C.A father plays an important role in kids' growing.
D.Schoolmasters mean nothing to a child's growth.

Trinity Faith Moran, the 11-year-old fifth grader who stole the spotlight at Naeem Khan Fall 2016 Runway Show, has died.
Stylish Mary Alice Stephenson, who worked with Khan to dress Trinity for the catwalk, announced the sad news on Instagram.
“My heart is broken. It is with great sorrow that I share this news with you today. My beautiful, inspiring friend and shining light Trinity passed away,” read Stephenson's caption. “She went to heaven two weeks ago after a very brave battle.”
In 2016, among all the models wearing super-sparkly dresses in Naeem Khan Fall 2016 fashion show, one new face stood out:Trinity Faith Moran. That's because at the age of 11, Trinity was much younger than the standard runway model. She was also not a professional!
Trinity suffered from a kind of life-threatening cancer, but she wasn't letting that hold her back from pursuing a career in fashion.
“A lot of people told me that I'm really pretty and that I should be a model sometime, so I decide to make it my wish,” Trinity said.
“She loves fashion very much, and the designer got down on the floor with her, listened to her and started sketching ideas,” Kimberly Rasmus, Trinity's mother, said. “They drew three different designs together and talked about what would look good on her. It was beyond our wildest dreams.”
“It's very rare for a designer to say yes to actually let a girl get up and walk the runway. The designer of the show was so open-hearted. He didn't even blink(眨眼),” said Mary Alice Stephenson. “Pretty clothes come and go, but the prettiest thing is making a difference in someone's life.”
12. What did she do when Trinity Faith Moran died?
A.A designer. B.A student. C.A model. D.A writer.
13. What made Trinity Faith Moran special compared to other models?
A.Her good looking. B.Her bright clothes.
C.Her young age. D.Her wild dreams.
14. What does the underlined word “battle” refer to in this passage?
A.The fight against cancer. B.The fashion show in 2016.
C.The process of designing. D.The decision to be a model.
15. Which word can best describe the designer for Trinity Faith Moran?
A.Stylish. B.Wild.
C.Shining. D.Open-hearted.

I'm glad that you're invited to dinner at your friend's home. Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, you should pay attention to the table manners while dining.
When you are taking some food you like, use the public chopsticks if possible. Don't put too much food in your mouth. It's not polite to talk over the table. When you are drinking the soup, you can't make any noise. If you finish eating, don't leave too much food on your plate. The host may think you don't like the food or you waste a lot. Last but not least, don't forget to thank the host for the delicious food. Just a small talk will leave a deep impression.

There are some similarities and some differences between growing up in Australia and China.
I lived in a small town of about 20,000 people, called Gympie on the east coast of Queensland. It is not as crowded in Australia, so people can live in houses that have front and back yards. I always enjoyed playing on the grass in the front yard.
Each weekday morning I would wake up at about 7 a.m. and get ready for school. My favourite cereal(谷物) was called Weet-Bix. I often ate nine or ten Weet-Bix to copy my favourite sports stars that I saw on TV!
As well as playing sports, I also played the saxophone. Some mornings I went to school early for band practice and played my saxophone, before classes started at 8:30 a.m. English and PE were my favourite subjects at school. My friends and I played tag(捉人游戏) or handball during our lunch breaks.
School finished at 3 p.m. After that I would usually go to sports training. In summer I played cricket and in winter I played hockey. Sometimes I played tennis too!
When I finally got home I was very tired. For a special treat, my mother sometimes cooked my favourite meal: apricot(杏子) chicken! Then I did my homework and read a book. I always went to sleep before 9 p.m.
On the weekend I played sports, visited a friend's house or watched TV.
Gympie was a great place to grow up!

Once upon a time, a tortoise lived in a pond(池塘) with two ducks. She enjoyed being with them because she could talk as much as she liked.
After many years, the pond became very low in a dry season and finally it dried up. The two ducks decided to fly to another place. They went to say goodbye to the tortoise.
“Oh, don't leave me behind!” begged(恳求) the tortoise. “Take me with you. I must die if I am left here.”
“ ” said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”?
Finally, the ducks had a nice idea. They said, “We will each take hold of one end of a stick, and you take the middle in your mouth. Then we will fly up in the air and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you'll be lost.”
The tortoise said she would not say a word.
When they were above the treetops, the tortoise wanted to say, “How high we are!” But she remembered what the ducks said and kept still. When they passed the church(教堂), she wanted to say, “What is that which shines?” But she remembered what the ducks said and held her peace. Then they came over the village square. Many people looked up and shouted, “Look! The ducks are carrying a tortoise!”

Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases(行李箱). Earlier that evening, I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can,” cried my mother.
I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there's anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn't know what to ask for.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.
“I've come to clean your shoes,” he said.
I asked him to repeat.
“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.
When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there's anything I can do…” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that done?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”
12.The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because .?
A.she couldn't do it on her own
B.she was too sad to do anything
C.she wanted to take everything to Seattle
D.she was not good at housework
13.Here's a time line of what happened in the story.
The writer's brother was killed in a car crash.→→The writer washed the clothes.→They left for the airport.
Which of the events should go in the empty box above?
A.Emerson came to clean the shoes.
B.The couple bathed the children.
C.They cleared the supper dishes.
D.The writer found the shoes cleaned.
14.If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?
A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.
B.Look after her friend's young children.
C.Take her friend's dog to the boarding kennel.

Dear Editor Wang,
As a school leaver, the old memories can't be wiped off my mind easily.
One afternoon, the classroom was empty after the sports meeting. Accidentally, I caught sight of a box of colour pencils on the floor. I didn't know whose it was, but I picked it up and kept it as my own.
The next day, our head teacher asked me about the pencils but I lied to him. He didn't say anything but treated me as usual. Afterwards, my classmates still played with me. As time went by, I felt sorry for what I did. In the end, I told my head teacher the truth. He didn't scold me but comfort me. It was his trust that made me face my mistakes bravely. In fact, he taught me a good lesson though he didn't say a single word.
I hope my story can help the newcomers a lot.
Yours,
Li Ping
