The boy swept aside the pool's dirty surface water and saw a group of gray fish swimming in a slow circle through the pond. Amused by this, the boy tried to catch one of these unbelievable talking fish. But when he stuck his arm into the water it turned gray right up to the elbow. As this happened, a huge sadness entered into him, and he suddenly understood how sad the fish were feeling. He quickly pulled his arm out of the water, and ran from that place. But the arm stayed gray, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried so many times to cheer himself up, but nothing worked. That was, until he realized that if he were to make the Earth happy then that happiness would be, in turn. transmitted(传输) back to him, through the earth on his arm. From then on, he set about looking after the countryside. He cared for the plants, and he did what he could to keep the water from being polluted. He encouraged others to do the same.

The Talking Fish C. The Sad Cry D. The Gray Fountain D Have you ever thought about what's more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even go to extremes(极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn't everything. It's more important to be healthy. Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live? Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight(紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation(循环) making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health? Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money? So, let's rethink what's really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let's eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person. 38. Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage? A. Because the diets are healthy. B. Because they just want to look good. C. Because they want to save time. D. Because they want to save money. 39. What is the writer's purpose of using a question in each paragraph? A. To ask for help from readers. B. To tell how to spend time and money. C. To describe the latest fashion. D. To lead readers to think about the topic. 40. What does the underlined word “well-being” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Growth. B. Health. C. Warmth. D. Wealth. 41. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1②= Paragraph 2… 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空自处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 What is the book made of? When we read books or newspapers, we hardly stop to think about the paper which is used to make them. 42 Paper is one of the most important inventions in the world. The word “paper” comes from the word “papyrus”—a plant like grass. The Egyptians first used papyrus to make a kind of paper. In AD 105,a Chinese man named Cai Lun created a new type of paper using pieces of old cloth. For centuries, people all over the world used this Chinese method(方式) to make paper. In 1841, Charles Fenerty, an Canadian man, invented a new method of paper making— using wood. 43 Think again about your book. Did you use paper money to buy it? If so, you can thank the Chinese. 44 The government began using paper notes as money because there wasn't enough copper(铜) to make coins. Today, it's hard to imagine life without paper. 45 We also use many important products that are made of paper. Take for example, toilet paper. Many believe that an American, Joseph Gayetty, invented it. An Englishman later had the idea to put the paper on rolls. Imagine what life today would be like without the important invention of paper! A. We use it to communicate in many different ways. B. Today, most of the paper we use is made from wood. C. They invented paper money in the ninth century AD. D.
