??????? This is a story about five brothers who live in peace in a village. They are orphans and they live by running the rice field 1 from their parents. The rice field is far from their home, so they have to go to the field before sunrise.
??????? They have 2 to let the youngest brother stay at home to take care of their house . The youngest is very happy about the 3 . Every day when his elder brothers come home, they find the house clean, tidy and 4 . Foods and drinks have been 5 on the table, and their beds are 6 and all the dirty 7 have been washed.
???????? But one of the older brothers is 8 of the youngest, so he says to the other boys that the job of the youngest is too easy and that he should also go to the field.? And the others agree to his suggestion.?? But now when they come home they find that their home is 9 , and that the table is 10 , they realize that their youngest brother has played a very important role, and they have underestimated his 11 to the home.

??? ?The first living creatures to travel in space were the dogs of the Soviet Unions space program.Beginning in 1951 dogs flew aboard sub－orbital flights to the height of 63 miles and higher.They helped to test the equipment that would later be used by humans.The first pair of dogs to fly，on July 22，1951，were named Tsygan and Dezik.
??? ?Space dogs would make history on November 3，1957.On this date，just one month after the historic launch of the world's first artificial satellite，Sputnik，the Soviet Union shocked the world again by launching Sputnik 2.This satellite contained the first living creature to travel in space，a dog named Laika.Laika was to have orbited for a week or more until her food and oxygen ran out.In fact，Laika lasted only hours in orbit before over heating in her capsule(太空舱) took her life.
??? ?That next step，occurred in August 1960，when the dogs Belka and Strelka made 18 orbits of earth and returned alive.Like Laika before them，they became distinguished ， featured in newspapers and magazines around the world.

Lockers(储物柜)have been the symbol of American high school for decades. But walk down any hallway of the new Germantown High School in Madison County, Mississippi, and you won’t spot a single locker.
New technology such as e-books, interactive(互动的)assignments and Web-based learning is making lockers in American high school a thing of the past.
Officials from schools that have gone lockerless listed several benefits: less noise, less delay and an increased sense of safety. “It’s all to create an environment that’s student-friendly”, said Ronnie McGehee, chief official of the Madison County School District.
Getting rid of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction costs. Madison County saved $200, 000 by not including lockers in the new high school, McGehee said.
It is also believed that removing lockers could help prevent school violence. “Lockers give kids a place to hide things”, said Mike Nelson, founder of a safety-training group. Nelson believes that some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented if there had been no lockers.
However, Andrew Booth, a 10th-grader at Germantown High, said there are some disadvantages of not having a locker. “It can make your book bag really heavy”, he said. The 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus notebooks and a binder(活页夹)”to carry to school each day.
He said some teachers have shelves at the back of the classroom on which students can leave their bags. Others provide an extra set of textbooks in the classroom, so students don’t have to carry books from home.
New York architect Peter Lippman said schools will have to address such concerns and find ways to give students a “sense of space”. “If you are carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the classrooms”, he said.
Lippman said he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to provide less structured learning opportunities for students, including gathering areas and learning centers. “If you think about a school with just rows of lockers—there’s nowhere for learning opportunities in that”, he said.
（1）What does the text mainly talk about?（ ）
A.?The history and development of lockers in US high schools.
B.?The influence of new technology on some US high schools.
C.?The trend of getting rid of lockers in US high schools.
D.?The advantages and disadvantages of lockers in US high schools.
（2）According to the text, lockers are being taken away from US high schools　　　.
A.?due to the spread of new technology????????????B.?in response to parents’ requests
C.?for the students’ security at school??????????????D.?to save construction costs
（3）What is Andrew Booth’s attitude to removing lockers? （ ）
A.?Complaining.??????????????????????B.?Approving.??????????????????????C.?Ignorant.??????????????????????D.?Favorable.
（4）What does Lippman suggest schools that have removed lockers should do?（ ）
A.?Give students as much freedom as possible in the classroom.
B.?Provide students with an extra set of textbooks in the classroom.
C.?Make more learning opportunities for students in the new free space.
D.?Put shelves at the back of the classroom for students to leave their bags.
