Avery and I are good friends, but once something unpleasant happened when we both tried for roles in Alice in Wonderland.
Avery really 1 to be Alice and I was sure she could get the role. However, it 2that I was picked to be Alice and Avery only got the part of the March Hare.“Do you want to practice together with me?”I asked.“Sorry, I'm busy this week,”said Avery, 3 looking at me.“And I will be always busy.”
That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not that 4 about getting the lead role.They wondered what happened.“Well, Avery was not picked to be Alice, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our 5 .”
My father said,“Don't worry about it. I think this is a 6 for you to be an extra-good friend.”
“Dad's right,”said my mother.“Sometimes 7 our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy and don't know how to act. Try giving 8 a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her mind soon.”
Over the next week, I tried my best to give Avery some 9 . Then one day, on the way to our practice, I 10 her.“I just want to say, you're such a great actor when acting as the March Hare.”I smiled. She seemed happy and 11 how she understood the role. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She 12 said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became 13 to each other.
I've learned that people often have a 14 time dealing with envy and disappointment(失望). If you have similar 15 , you could try taking my parents’ advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This might be the perfect time to be an extra-good friend.

Why do We Yawn?
Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn

when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn,you breathe deeply. You also stretch(强化) the muscles(肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.

A tree has roots. People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It's the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives(侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes(前缀) and suffixes(后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of
九年级英语试题 第 4 页/共7页
words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let's look at one common root word used in English.“Alter”from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word“alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it?
·If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.
·If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday.
·If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your“rooting for words”skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
27. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The situation. B. The crime scene.
C. A new and difficult word. D. Everything that is known.
28. If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is“alternating paying”?

29. How does the author explain his ideas about root words?

C. A criminal was sentenced to death by law.
