There are four great places to have fun in Sunshine Town.

It has the most delicious food. And it plays the most wonderful music. However, the food is the most expensive. And the waiters aren’t as friendly as I think.
Fun Times
Many people like the theater. It has the biggest screens and the most comfortable seats, and the workers always do their best to help you. But the tickets are more expensive than any other theater.
Easy Mall
I always go shopping here because it’s the closest to my home. People can buy the cheapest things. But there is a bad thing. The assistants here aren’t friendly. They always ask you to buy things you don’t need at all.
People’s Park

I asked my dad if I’d ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry.
“There was once,” he said.
He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition (传统) that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value (重视) most when they grow up. For instance, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be a smart person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and will be very rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot.
My father was just doing it out of curiosity (好奇). It was interesting for him to see which one I’d pick anyway. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see what would happen.
According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I ▲ . He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices.
And that was the first and only time I made him cry.
29. If a child chooses the paper money, it means that he or she will be ________.
A. an intelligent person B. a person who loves fun things
C. a very rich person D. a famous actor or actress
30. What didn’t the father put as a choice?
A. Paper money. B. A pen. C. A toy. D. Himself
31. Which of the following sentences can be best placed in ▲ .
A. picked all of them and was very excited about gifts B. chose nothing but got a new toy car from my dad
C. went to get some paper money and gave it to my dad D. pushed everything away and went right into dad’s arms
32. How does the writer express the love between father and child?
A. By having a special party. B. By listing birthday gifts.
C. By sharing a story. D. By using numbers and data
C
On my first job, I worked as a sports editor (编辑) for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was surprised that there was one on my desk one morning. From the letter, I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was written by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand, his words made me excited. After that, I kept the note on my desk. When I was feeling upset, I would read John’s note and be confident again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to encourage (鼓励) young people. “When I make others feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”
However why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my opinion, many people are afraid that other people cannot understand them well. Also, writing takes more time and it is easier to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot keep a long time, but a note is a good way of record (记录) and people can read words more than once.
So, when you find some people around you need help, please write a note of encouragement to them. Maybe you are not sure what will happen, but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
33. Mr. John often wrote notes to young people to ________.
A. make friends with them B. ask for some help
C. bring them more happiness D. sell more newspapers
34. The underlined word “confident” means “________”.
A. 强壮的 B. 自信的 C. 外向的 D. 严肃的
35. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ________.
A there are many people like John in our life B. young people enjoy reading notes
C. many people can’t telephone others D. people can keep a note for a long time
36. The best title of the passage is ________.
A. A Special Note B. A Note Writer
C. A Problem with Phone Calls D. A Popular Newspaper
D
If you have a magic bank account (银行账户), it has 86, 400 yuan in it each morning. But if you don’t spend this money during the day, it will go back to zero at the end of the day. What would you do? Spend as much as you can each day, of course.
In fact, we all have a magic bank account like this. It is the time we have each day. Each day is 86, 400 seconds long, but every second passes. Every second can’t get back again.
Of course, you can never borrow time. You can’t borrow time from your future or take a “time loan (贷款)” from someone else. The time you have is just the time you have and that is that. You need to manage your time yourself. You can decide how to spend your time, just as you can decide how to spend your money.
Many of us don’t use time the same way as we use money because we feel our time never runs out. If you spend money, you can’t get it back the way that a new day brings us more time. But in fact, there is no way to get more time in life. So we should use our time wisely.
37. What does “the magic bank account” stand for?
A. The money we can borrow from others. B. The time we spend making money.
C. The time we have each day. D. The money we use each day.
38. What does the underlined word “manage” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 3?
A 管理 . B. 尽力. C. 搞定. D. 浪费.
39 Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?
A. We all have a magic account in the bank.
B. We should spend as much money as we can each day, or it will go to zero.
C. We all have a 86, 400-second-long day each day.
D. Our time will not run out.
40. The writer thinks that we should ________ in the last paragraph.
A. borrow time from others B. make more money

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor (编辑) for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was surprised that there was one on my desk one morning. From the letter, I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was written by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand, his words made me excited. After that, I kept the note on my desk. When I was feeling upset, I would read John’s note and be confident again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to encourage (鼓励) young people. “When I make others feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”
However, why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my opinion, many people are afraid that other people cannot understand them well. Also, writing takes more time and it is easier to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot keep a long time, but a note is a good way of record (记录) and people can read words more than once.
So, when you find some people around you need help, please write a note of encouragement to them. Maybe you are not sure what will happen, but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
33. Mr. John often wrote notes to young people to ________.
A. make friends with them B. ask for some help
C. bring them more happiness D. sell more newspapers
34. The underlined word “confident” means “________”.
