Last week, I bought a T-shirt online to wear at my friend’s birthday party. I found a few websites where you can write on T-shirts. On one site, the T-shirts weren’t as expensive as on other sites.
The T-shirt arrived more slowly than I hoped. In fact, it arrived a few minutes before my friend’s party. I put it on as quickly as I could and then I left to go to the party. The T-shirt felt great—it fitted me well.
When I arrived, I showed the T-shirt to my friend and he started laughing. I was confused (困惑的), but then he told me about the problem with my T-shirt. It didn’t say “Feliz cumpleaños” on the back.
It said “Happy Birthday in Spanish”!
At first, I was angry, but my friend said that the T-shirt made him happy on his birthday. Then I felt a lot better.

The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world. Many different cultures have played instruments like the guitar for over 3, 000 years. The oldest instrument that we can see today comes from Ancient Egypt. You can see this guitar in a museum in Cairo. It belonged to a singer who sang for the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. This type of guitar had a long neck and only three strings (弦).
The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar, but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear. It usually had more strings than a guitar and they were in pairs. From 1100 to 1500, travelling singers and story tellers played the lute to go with their songs.
Guitars sometimes had pairs of strings like the lute, but the guitar changed over time to use single strings. People used guitars with six single strings for the first time in the 1600s in Italy, but the most important change happened in the 1850s. The Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar’s body bigger. His idea made the sound of the guitar louder and better. Most of today’s classical guitars follow his design.
The first electric guitars appeared in the 1930s. The electric guitars have a solid body and can make many different sounds. We also find them in many different shapes and sizes. Some electric guitars don’t look like guitars at all!
23. Which of the following is a lute?
A. B. C. D.
24. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Guitars. B. Sounds. C. Shapes. D. Sizes.
25 In which order did the following happen?
a. The first electric guitars appeared.
b. People used guitars with six single strings in Italy.
c. Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar’s body bigger.
d. Travelling singers played the lute to go with their songs.
A. d-b-c-a B. a-c-d-b C. d-a-c-b D. c-d-a-b
26. Why does the writer write the text?
A. To discuss the invention of the guitar. B. To introduce the shapes of the guitar.
C. To compare the players of the guitar. D. To show the development of the guitar.
D
It was Friday, all the week’s classes were finished and it was time to go home. Luis was walking towards the playground and thinking about his football club, when a loud sound interrupted him.
Someone was screaming (尖叫) in classroom 6B. He walked there and looked inside. There was Maria, Clara and their teacher, “I went outside for five minutes, but when I came back, the hamster (仓鼠) had disappeared (消失). Maybe you can help us work out where it is?”
“Well, let’s ask everyone here what they were doing while Mrs. Brown was out of the classroom.” Luis advised.
“I came here to give Mrs. Brown my homework,” said Clara. Luis asked Clara where the homework was. “It’s over there, on the desk.”
Luis asked Clara why her hair was wet. “I just went to the swimming club.” Clara replied.
“I came here after singing practice to find my pencil,” said Maria in a low voice. “I left it here earlier today.” Luis asked Maria why she was answering in a low voice. “Because I’ve got a sore throat,” Maria replied. Then Luis asked Maria where her pencil was. “It’s here in my pocket”.
“Well,” said Luis, “I know who’s got the hamster. Maria said she was at singing practice, but she can’t sing with a sore throat! So she must be lying!”
Mrs. Brown asked Maria if she’d taken the hamster.
“It’s true,” said Maria. “I did it! I’m sorry I lied. I was just worried about it being alone on the weekend. ”
“Yes, the hamster is alone on weekends, but you can’t take it without permission (许可). Luis, whenever there’s a problem, you’re the one to solve it!”
“Thanks,” said Luis, “but look at the time. I’d better hurry.”

22nd March @12:25 pm
Last week, I bought a T-shirt online to wear at my friend’s birthday party. I found a few websites where you can write on T-shirts. On one site, the T-shirts weren’t as expensive as on other sites.
The T-shirt arrived more slowly than I hoped. In fact, it arrived a few minutes before my friend’s party. I put it on as quickly as I could and then I left to go to the party. The T-shirt felt great—it fitted me well.
When I arrived, I showed the T-shirt to my friend and he started laughing. I was confused (困惑的), but then he told me about the problem with my T-shirt. It didn’t say “Feliz cumpleaños” on the back.
It said, “Happy Birthday in Spanish”!
At first, I was angry, but my friend said that the T-shirt made him happy on his birthday. Then I felt a lot better.

Now, I always check the size of the things I buy online.

The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world. Many different cultures have played instruments like the guitar for over 3, 000 years. The oldest instrument that we can see today comes from Ancient Egypt. You can see this guitar in a museum in Cairo. It belonged to a singer who sang for the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. This type of guitar had a long neck and only three strings (弦).
The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar, but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear. It usually had more strings than a guitar and they were in pairs. From 1100 to 1500, travelling singers and story tellers played the lute to go with their songs.
Guitars sometimes had pairs of strings like the lute, but the guitar changed over time to use single strings. People used guitars with six single strings for the first time in the 1600s in Italy, but the most important change happened in the 1850s. The Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar’s body bigger. His idea made the sound of the guitar louder and better. Most of today’s classical guitars follow his design.
The first electric guitars appeared in the 1930s. The electric guitars have a solid body and can make many different sounds. We also find them in many different shapes and sizes. Some electric guitars don’t look like guitars at all!
23. Which of the following is a lute?
A. B. C. D.
24. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Guitars. B. Sounds. C. Shapes. D. Sizes.
25 In which order did the following happen?

b. People used guitars with six single strings in Italy.
c. Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar’s body bigger.
d. Travelling singers played the lute to go with their songs.
A. d-b-c-a B. a-c-d-b C. d-a-c-b D. c-d-a-b
26. Why does the writer write the text?
A. To discuss the invention of the guitar. B. To introduce the shapes of the guitar.
C. To compare the players of the guitar. D. To show the development of the guitar.
【答案】23. B 24. A 25. A 26. D

Free﹣time Activities Help Me Learn a Lot
In my free time, I often volunteer outside. I think volunteering is not only to help others, but also to help myself, because each of us needs help. I often go to the nursing home to help the elderly, pick up garbage in the park and give out leaflets to let people care for the environment.
I still remember my experience of being a volunteer last year. I joined a group to help the neighbors throw out their rubbish. Every day, I got up very early and collected the rubbish from door to door. At first, I found it hard to get up early. It was very tiring, but I did it for two weeks. I got a thank-you letter from the neighbors in the end.
I feel proud of being a volunteer, which means I am able to offer help. What is more, I am also thankful for the people who have helped me.
