A
Gao Wenqi, 49, owner of a restaurant in Xi'an, Shaanxi, started to offer a new service on April 13, 2013—suspended meals (待用快餐). Now many restaurants in China, such as in Henan, Chongqing and Yunnan, have joined the program.You can pay 10 yuan for a meal, which should be sold at 16, and leave it at the restaurant. Then other people in need, such as the disabled(残疾人), the poor elderly or homeless children, can have it without paying.This idea comes from the cafes(咖啡馆) in Naples, Italy. It's a tradition that someone there pays in advance for an extra(额外的) cup or two. Then another coffee-drinker can take them for free."The program is meaningful. It offers help with dignity(尊严)," said Gao to Xinhua. However, people are worried that someone who is able to pay would also ask for the suspended meals, so there should be rules for this program.
( )26. According to the passage, this program may possibly take place ?.
A. in a restaurant B. at a bus station C. in a school D. on a train
( )27. The suspended meals are offered to ?.
A. students B. workers C. people in need D. the rich
( )28. The underlined phrase "in advance" in the third paragraph means " ?" in Chinese.
A. 滞后 B. 预先 C. 优先 D. 胜过
( )29. It's said that the idea of "suspended meals" comes from ?.
A. Italy B. the U.S. C. Canada D. China
( )30. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Someone who is unable to pay can ask for the suspended meals.
B. The program is meaningful and it offers help with dignity.
C. Gao Wenqi's restaurant joined the program on April 13, 2013.
D. All customers must pay an extra meal at the restaurant.

Children are natural scientists, very interested in the world around them. To help them enjoy science, you only have to share your children's interests.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old children to talk about science as a job. The children asked me " textbook questions" about schooling, the money I got and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering the questions, we looked at each other silently. Finally I said, "Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"
After a long wait, a boy put up his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?" It led to lots of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, many teachers usually wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give better answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. When the child is talking about science, don't cut in with "That's right" or "Very good". These words work well when you use them to encourage a child to help others. But in talking about science, these words make a child think that the discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying "That's interesting" or "I've never thought of it that way before".
Lastly, show it but not to tell. Let children look at their hands through a microscope(显微镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. (286 words)
( )36. To help children enjoy science, the most important thing for us to do is to __________.
A. let them see the world around B. let them study in modern labs
C. tell them the difficult terms on science D. share the children’s interests
( )37. The words “your lists” paragraph 2 mean ____________.
A. your answers to the questions B. your own questions about science
C. your questions from textbooks D. all the questions of your own
( )38. According to the passage, children can give better answers to questions if teachers ___________.
A. ask them to answer quickly B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to watch their language D. wait at least three seconds after a question
( )39. The writer talks about all of the following ways except that _________.
A. teachers should tell their children stories
B. teachers should offer their children chances to observe things for themselves
C. teachers should allow enough time for their children to find answers
D. teachers should encourage their children to ask questions of their own
( )40. The writer of the passage is probably_________.
A. a teacher B. a scientist C. a seven-year-old boy's father D. a reporter
D
A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of four little girls. During the time, work was hard to find, so grandpa did whatever jobs he could. On weekend he and grandma dug a garden to grow some of their own food.
The house on Beechwood Avenue had a big front yard with fruit trees, On one side of the yard, grandma and grandpa planted some vegetables and fruits to feed their growing family, They planted some flowers on the other side of the yard.
All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. The food was good to eat through the long winter.
The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.
Years later, it became harder for grandma and grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.
Then one summer slowly faded, and grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest.
It was a lonely winter for grandma. She wondered if she could plant the garden in the next spring. It would be hard to care for it by herself. When the spring came, she planted only a little garden.
One sunny day in the early summer, grandma heard a noise in the front yard and looked out of the window to see thousands of bees in the air, so many of them reached the tree-tops together! The sound was tremendous. Grandma watched as the bees made their way into a hole up in the trees. Before long, every one of those bees had disappeared into its new home. During the next few days, the bees were busy making their own business.
That summer, grandma’s little garden grew well. The neighbours would stop to admire the huge crop of vegetables and puzzle why their own garden weren’t doing well.
From that time on, grandma always believed that since grandpa couldn’t be there to help her that summer, he had sent the bees to take his place and make grandma’s little garden grow and grow.
( )41. Why did the grandparents dig a garden?
A. Because they had a big front yard. B. Because they wanted to beautify the yard.
C. Because they had a big family to feed. D. Because they wanted to provide the bees a home.
( )42. When did the bees fly into grandma’s garden?
A. On a summer day after grandpa died. B. On a winter day before grandpa died.
C. On a spring day when grandma planted the garden. D. On an autumn day when grandma planted the garden.
( )43. The underlined word “tremendous” in the passage means ____________.
A. great B. low C. light D. cruel
( )44. Which of the following statements is true according to the story?
A. Grandpa sent the bees to help grandma. B. The food from the garden was not good to eat.
C. There were five people in the grandpa’s family.
D. Grandparents still kept up their garden when they grew old.
( )45.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Grandma’s family. B. Grandpa’s bees. C. Foods in the garden. D. Four seasons in the garden.
