One day, Matt came home from school and said, “Mom, I want a new pair of running shoes. My friends said my shoes were old and ugly (丑陋的).” His mother thought for a short time and said OK. They went to some shoe stores. All the shoes there looked great. Then Matt stopped in front of a pair of running shoes. “Mom, I love this pair. My friends have the same shoes!” The shoes were very expensive for his mother, but she paid for them. A few days later, Matt’s mother told him, “Matt, I won’t be home early for the next few weeks. Don’t wait for me to be home before you sleep.” “Why, Mom?” Matt asked. “I need to work, so we can get enough money to buy some food,” his mother said. Now, Matt knew the value (价值) of those shoes. His mom had to spend more time working to meet the needs of the family. He felt terrible about himself. “Mom, I don’t need those running shoes,” Matt cried (哭). “Dear, I want the best for you, too.

Today I’m going to tell you something between me and my good friend. Last year, my good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. At his party I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! Carlos’s birthday party also got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. Did you know that in Vietnam kids do not celebrate on birthdays? Instead (相反地), on New Year’s Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them. In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now “unlock the door to their future life”. In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults (成年人) pull children’s ears—one pull for each year. My friend Carlos also helps me to know more in many other ways. Do you have such an experience with your friends? Linda 1．What’s in the “pinata” on Carlos’s birthday? A．Candies. B．Food. C．Money. D．Keys. 2．What does the underlined sentence most probably mean? A．It’s time for parents to give their kids a good future. B．The kids are old enough to face their future. C．Kids don’t need to face their future by themselves.

C．He will write something between his friend and him. D．He will come and celebrate his birthday with Linda. （4） Eve was having a party! She invited all her friends for a special competition evening. The best singer would win a prize of a huge box of her delicious home-made cakes. Everyone came along: Helen, Jane, and Peter. Peter looked a bit nervous. “Don’t worry, Peter. We’re only here to have some fun. I’m certainly no pop singer, either!” said Eve kindly. Jane was first up on stage. The minute she began to sing, everyone could tell she had been practicing! Next, it was Helen’s turn. Her voice was not as strong as Jane’s, but she had a great sense of rhythm (节奏感). All the girls took turns singing. There were a few mistakes, but all in all, everyone had a wonderful time. “Come on, Peter. It’s your turn now!”said the girls. But Peter shook his head. “No, thanks. I can’t do it, ” he said. “Don’t be afraid. If you like, we can sing together,” said Eve. Finally Peter gave in. He and Eve shared the microphone (麦克风) and they began to sing a rock song. At first, you could hardly hear the voice of the shy boy, but later, he was holding the microphone on his own and singing his heart out! He got everyone to sing along as he danced around the stage like a real rock star. At the end of the song, Eve stepped forward and handed him the big box of home-made cakes. “Peter, we all agree that you’ve won the prize!” she said. “You may not sing like a singer, but you really know how to put on a show!” Everyone laughed as happy Peter passed the cakes around to all his friends. 1．How was Jane’s singing voice?

You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? One reason may be the way your parents think of you. Firstborn children get more love from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a firstborn as any other child. Parents usually give firstborn children more responsibility (责任) and ask them to look after younger brothers or sisters. As a result, firstborn children are often responsible, hard­working and jealous (妒忌的). They often want to do well at school and work. When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争) with the firstborn for parents and love. These children often have different sports and interests to do well in at school and work, but they must have a new way to get their family’s care. They are often friendly and cool. Do you think so? 1．Why are firstborn children often responsible? A．Because they get more love from their parents. B．Because they have to compete with the second­born children. C．Because they have to get their family’s care. D．Because their parents usually give them more responsibility. 2．The second­born children are often _________.

They went to some shoe stores. All the shoes there looked great. Then Matt stopped in front of a pair of running shoes. “Mom, I love this pair. My friends have the same shoes!” The shoes were very expensive for his mother, but she paid for them. A few days later, Matt’s mother told him, “Matt, I won’t be home early for the next few weeks. Don’t wait for me to be home before you sleep.” “Why, Mom?” Matt asked. “I need to work, so we can get enough money to buy some food,” his mother said. Now, Matt knew the value (价值) of those shoes. His mom had to spend more time working to meet the needs of the family. He felt terrible about himself. “Mom, I don’t need those running shoes,” Matt cried (哭). “Dear, I want the best for you, too.

Today I’m going to tell you something between me and my good friend. Last year, my good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. At his party I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! Carlos’s birthday party also got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. Did you know that in Vietnam kids do not celebrate on birthdays? Instead (相反地), on New Year’s Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them. In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now “unlock the door to their future life”. In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults (成年人) pull children’s ears—one pull for each year. My friend Carlos also helps me to know more in many other ways. Do you have such an experience with your friends? Linda 1．What’s in the “pinata” on Carlos’s birthday? A．Candies. B．Food. C．Money. D．Keys. 2．What does the underlined sentence most probably mean? A．It’s time for parents to give their kids a good future. B．The kids are old enough to face their future. C．Kids don’t need to face their future by themselves.

B．In Japan. C．In Denmark. D．In Vietnam. 5．What will David probably do next? A．He will say “Happy Birthday” to Carlos. B．He will send Linda a gift. C．He will write something between his friend and him. D．He will come and celebrate his birthday with Linda. （4） Eve was having a party! She invited all her friends for a special competition evening. The best singer would win a prize of a huge box of her delicious home-made cakes. Everyone came along: Helen, Jane, and Peter. Peter looked a bit nervous. “Don’t worry, Peter. We’re only here to have some fun. I’m certainly no pop singer, either!” said Eve kindly. Jane was first up on stage. The minute she began to sing, everyone could tell she had been practicing! Next, it was Helen’s turn. Her voice was not as strong as Jane’s, but she had a great sense of rhythm (节奏感). All the girls took turns singing. There were a few mistakes, but all in all, everyone had a wonderful time. “Come on, Peter. It’s your turn now!”said the girls. But Peter shook his head. “No, thanks. I can’t do it, ” he said. “Don’t be afraid. If you like, we can sing together,” said Eve. Finally Peter gave in. He and Eve shared the microphone (麦克风) and they began to sing a rock song. At first, you could hardly hear the voice of the shy boy, but later, he was holding the microphone on his own and singing his heart out! He got everyone to sing along as he danced around the stage like a real rock star. At the end of the song, Eve stepped forward and handed him the big box of home-made cakes. “Peter, we all agree that you’ve won the prize!” she said. “You may not sing like a singer, but you really know how to put on a show!” Everyone laughed as happy Peter passed the cakes around to all his friends. 1．How was Jane’s singing voice?

A．①②③④ B．②③④① C．④②①③ D．③④②① 4．What’s everyone’s feeling at the end of the party? A．Sad. B．Cheerful. C．Angry. D．Frightened. （5） If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different. You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? One reason may be the way your parents think of you. Firstborn children get more love from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a firstborn as any other child. Parents usually give firstborn children more responsibility (责任) and ask them to look after younger brothers or sisters. As a result, firstborn children are often responsible, hard­working and jealous (妒忌的). They often want to do well at school and work. When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争) with the firstborn for parents and love. These children often have different sports and interests to do well in at school and work, but they must have a new way to get their family’s care. They are often friendly and cool. Do you think so? 1．Why are firstborn children often responsible? A．Because they get more love from their parents. B．Because they have to compete with the second­born children. C．Because they have to get their family’s care. D．Because their parents usually give them more responsibility. 2．The second­born children are often _________.
