When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I 1 my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could 2 have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my 3 outside in the back yard. At once I 4 out to the yard. There was my bike, 5 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be.

Adopting Animals(领养动物)
Would you like to adopt an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.
Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that.
Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be thrilling for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.
1. Brocky is________.
A. an animal zoo B. an adopted child
C.a tiger without children’s love D. a tiger in need of adoption
2. Several hundred people give money to the zoo to help Brocky because ________.
A. its food is too expensive for one person to afford
B. people don’t want to spend too much money on Brocky
C. people don’t love Brocky enough
D. the zoo forces them to do so
3. Children will be ________ if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky.
A. frightened B. excited and happy
C. nervous D. surprised
4. With so many people’s money, Brocky now can _________.
A. play with many toys
B. live without being hungry
C. eat meat every day
D. have an air-conditioned room to live in
5. We can infer(推断)from the passage that ________.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun might be the world's first“clock”, except in the far north，where the Eskimos（爱斯基摩人）live．There，it's dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, if you don't have a clock that shows time, you still know that when the sun shines, it's day, and when it's dark, it's night. The sun can not only yell you whether（是否）it's day or night but also it's morning, noon, or afternoon When the sun is almost directly（恰好）overhead, it's noon. People who live near the sea learn from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on a ship know time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock. In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock. A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.
( )6.From the passage we can know there are_______ ways to tell time except the clock and watch．
A.3 B.4 C.5 D.7
( ) 7.The Eskimos in the far north can't use the sun for a clock because _______.
they know very little about the sun
the sun there never goes down in winter
it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
it has long day and long light during summers
( ) 8. The underlined word "tides" in the passage means_______.
A.洋流 B.潮汐 C.海啸 D.波浪
( ) 9.Which page of the newspaper may this passage be in?
A. News. B. Science. C. Advertisement. D. Sports.
( ) 10.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different Ways to Tell Time B. How the Clock Was Invented C. The Development of the Clock D. A Useful Machine to Tell Time

In 1638, John Harvard donated some money and about four hundred books to a new university. This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard.
Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. He set up more than 30 libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and some friends started the first subscription library in the United States.
