One day last summer, my five-year-old son Parker and I decided to go fishing.
Parker had fished before, but hadn’t yet 36 the same hobby as me.

Robert Frost was one of America’s best known and most honored serious writers. But his fame came late in his life.
He was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He lived in California during his early childhood. He was named after the chief Southern general in America’s Civil War. The general’s name was Robert Edward Lee. The poet was named Robert Lee Frost, because his father wanted to honor the general.
Someone once asked another American writer, Ernest Hemingway, how to become a writer. The best thing, he said, was to have an unhappy childhood. If this is true, Robert Frost’s childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good writer. Robert Frost’s father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician. He often drank too much wine and became angry. Robert was the victim (受害者) of his anger.
Robert Frost finished high school in 1891. After high school, Robert’s grandfather offered to pay his costs at Dartmouth College. But Robert left the school after a few months. He did not like it. He spent the next few years working at different jobs. At one time, he worked in a factory. Later, he repaired shoes. He was a teacher. He was a reporter. Always, he wrote poetry.
Robert Frost attended Harvard University for two years. After that, he returned to the many jobs he held before. For a while, Frost tried to take care of a farm in the state of New Hampshire. He was not a successful farmer. And he continued to write poetry. He said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing.
In 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. He took his family to Britain. The cost of living was low. In Britain, Frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. The book was called A Boy’s Will. When it appeared in 1913. Frost received high praise from British readers. Praise was something he had not received in his own country.
Ezra Pound, another American poet living in Britain, read the poems and liked them very much. He wrote a magazine article about Frost. He also helped get Frost’s second book of poems published in America. That book was called North of Boston.

Young Inventors’ Latest Concepts
Students across China, studying in the fields of engineering, science and technology, are developing a range of inventions that they hope will one day be marketable. Here are three examples from the minds of China’s young inventors.
Foot-Controlled Mouse
This new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to help handicapped people when surfing the Internet.
The new device is called a “surf mouse”, and looks like a pair of blue slippers. When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking the left mouse button; when people press with their heels, they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can view Web pages.
Dirty Water Filter
The “pump of life”, a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long and has a diameter of four centimeters. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate (去除) harmful substances. Rain, fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief. Pan told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan. If they had sent water-purifying equipment instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake.
Transformer Vehicle
The multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus. By changing the breadth of tires and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier. The name Tranfus is a contraction of “transforming for us.”
Traffic jams can make a driver go crazy. The Tranfus can change into luggage carrier, and users could walk with it. When started, the roof transforms, turning into a motorbike. But its inventor doesn’t think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.
Who will be most likely to use the Foot-Controlled Mouse
A. Those who are left-handed. B. Those absent-minded in classes.
C. Those hoping cheating in exams. D. Those having disability in hands.
How can users look through Web pages with the Foot-Controlled Mouse
A. They can force down their forefeet. B. They can raise their heels.
C. They can roll their feet. D. They can press their heels.
When should Dirty Water Filter be most likely useful
A. When there is a lack of water because of drought.
B. When there are natural disasters causing clean water shortage.
C. When there are earthquakes in the mountainous areas.
D. When there are too many people in a crowded city.
Why CAN’T the Transformer Vehicle be on the market soon
A. It is only a crazy idea and has no scientific theory to support it.
B. It is too small to be a car and too big to be a luggage carrier.
C. There are no auto companies offering to invest in it.
D. There are no auto companies showing interest in it.
D
As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores.” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹), Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to________.
show the relationship between parents and children
teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
report on the findings of a study
give information about family problems
By saying “Middle children are invisible” in Paragraph 3. Lewis means that middle children ________.
have to help their parents to serve dinner
get the least attention from the family
are often kept away from the dinner table
find it hard to keep up with other children
Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ________.
why TV is important in family life
why parents should keep good order
why children in small families seem to be quieter
why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
Which of the following statements would the writer agree to
It is important to have the right food for children.
It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.

In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors (反映) the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity（身份） and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you are in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis (重视) on the idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat
Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They are looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears. Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics (批评者) of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their non-verbal communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fall in the blanks”. This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
Which would the critics of online relationships most probably DISAGREE to
A. Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace.
B. Internet users can choose words to create any image they like.
C. The Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are.
D. In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves.
Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what’s really important is a person’s _________.
A. non-verbal communication B. thoughts typed on the screen
C. knowledge and appearance D. identity shown in the chat
The underlined word “This” (Paragraph 5) refers to_________.
A. imagining online friends with so many unknowns.
B. forming personal relationship in cyberspace.
C. having exciting conversations online.
D. knowing a person in a love relationship.
What’s the writer’s attitude towards finding love in cyberspace
A. Positive B. Disinterested C. Interested D. Negative

Friendship
As we all know, friendship plays a very important part in our daily life. In my opinion, people can hardly live without relationship. Because when you are down, he will cheer you up; when you are in trouble, he will lend you a hand and even if they can't, they will listen.
Personally speaking, I’d like to make friends with people who are kind-hearted and diligent so that I can learn valuable qualities from them. I need a friend when I want to find someone to talk to. Misunderstanding and quarrels happen, but we can always find a way to stand in the other’s shoes, forgive the other’s mistakes, and make it right.
Therefore, we all need true friendship.
