A
Yellow Dress
By Janet Lee
Mary had a yellow dress
Bought from the department store.
It looked as beautiful as the moon,
And as bright as the sun.

Mary wore all the time
The yellow dress I felt so right.
Every day from day to night
I saw her in the dress so bright

"Buy me a yellow dress,"
I cried to Mom and Dad,
"As beautiful and bright
As the dress the girl living near has!"

I cried and cried and cried,
Until they said with sad eyes,
"We need food for your baby sister
And clothes for your coming brother."
Since then I've learned
Mary's yellow dress
Is better to dream of
Than to ask for.
25. From the poem, we know that Mary and the writer may be____________.
A. classmates B. relatives C. neighbors D. sisters
26. Why does the writer say, "Every day from day to night/I saw her in the dress so bright'?
A.The writer lived with Mary. B The dress had sun shapes on it
C. The writer liked the dress very much. D.The dress was Mary's school uniform.
27. What did the writer's parents mean by their words?
A.They did not like the yellow dress. B.They did not have money for a dress.
C.They already had a dress for her baby sister D.They would ask Mary where to buy the yellow dress.

There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver's seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called "left-hand driving", as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called "right-hand driving", as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world's population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.
Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other's right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal's left. Obviously, it's safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense(行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.
A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)conquered(攻占)nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地)in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外)is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败)by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.
Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import(进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.
28. Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?

29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sweden changed to drive on the right in 1974.
B. People drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.
C. People have known the exact reasons for driving on the left.
D. Napoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving.
30. What is the writer's purpose for writing this passage?
A. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.
B. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.
C. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.
D. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.
C

?? Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
???? People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or
other member of the family is used.?Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith;a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means "bright"; Beatrice means"one who gives happiness"; Donald means"world ruler"; Leonard means"as?brave as a lion".?
???? The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or?
Brooks probably lived near brook (小溪); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved
road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

or drove a cart; Potter -a person who made pots and pans (罐和锅).
???? ? The ancestors (祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.
The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture (家具).?
???? Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities.?
When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably?
became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an
excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.?
???? Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people added -s or -son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and?Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants?of the same Donnell.

The University of St Andrews is the setting of royal(皇家的) love: on the grounds of this great Scottish university Prince William and Kate Middleton first met and fell in love.
More than that, St Andrews is Scotland's first university and one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. Founded in 1413 (just after Oxford and Cambridge), over 600 hundred years, the university has been well known as one of Europe's leading and most distinctive centres for teaching and research.
St Andrews is located in a small, historical town to the coast(海滨)of North East Scotland. The university itself is the perfect place for learning. On average one in three people you see in the street have something to do with the University. You start to feel very quickly that you belong.
As a student in St Andrews, playing golf is a must. With the town itself known around the world as “The Home of Golf”, the university is within minutes of the ancient golf-playing ground in the world, the Old Course, just near the sea. Students can take a break from their studies by enjoying a game of golf, and the university itself is a popular place to go.
It has one of the lowest dropout(辍学) rates in the UK---98 percent of students complete their degree. Perhaps its popularity is in part because of the fact that St Andrews is good for nearly every subject. It has long been among the UK's top five.
