We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out.

C 15、If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to catch what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop a few times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent(妨碍) yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this. When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact. 1．To read for pleasure means _____________. A．to take pleasure in reading B．to be satisfied in reading book C．to read such books as novels, plays, travel books, etc D．to go on with reading pleasantly 2．The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “ ”. A．to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the book B．to try to catch the meaning of every word in the book C．to try to understand all the writer is going to tell you D．to try to understand the main idea of the book 3．The best title for this passage is “___________”. A．Read for Pleasure B．Get on with the Books C．Reading Skills D．The Importance of Reading D 16、Bargaining is the rule here in Beijing. At least, it is so in most markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar(不熟悉) with it, we'd like to offer you some advice. The tips(窍门) here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced. DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless it’s near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price. DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile. DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want. KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over. DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based(根据) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around. 1．Who is this passage written for? A．Owners of back-street shops. B．Businessmen in Beijing. C．Those who are good at bargaining. D．Those who travel in Beijing. 2．What is the topic the writer is mainly talking about in this passage? A．Beijing markets. B．Bargaining tips. C．Lowest price D．Seller’s offer. 3．What is the most important thing to do in bargaining with the seller? A．Keep smiling. B．Be patient. C．Don’t get angry. D．Don’t say anything. 4．What is NOT included in the tips often used to bargain in Beijing? A．Find out the true price and go to the markets with friends. B．Don’t offer your price until the end of the bargaining with a smile. C．Drop the seller’s offering price four or five times（倍）until he agrees. D．Don’t go to markets at the time when there are too many tourists. 5．Which of the following can help you get an item you want at the lowest price? A．Whenever you go shopping, take a price list with you. B．You can bargain for anything at the price of 10 RMB． C．The price range(范围) for you to bargain is usually between 40% and 500%. D．Xiu Shui Market is the biggest shopping center where prices are always reasonable. E 17、Hello, I’m Peter in the second grade. Now I have one thing to say: It’s not easy being a kid. Being a kid might look like fun, but sometimes it’s not fun at all. Yesterday I was playing outside with my friend. We were having a good time.

When you are a kid, you have to go to bed early. On school nights, my mom asks me to go to bed at 9:00 pm. But I do have parents who love me, which is really great.

For 22 years, after I left home for college, he called me every Sunday at 9 am. He was always interested in my life and how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his own life. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千组) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was too busy. Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado blue spruce (蓝叶云杉) in his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldn’t spend much time with him. Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me, “Fat Albert”, but that morning he called it “Fat Oscar”, and he seemed to have forgotten some things. I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short. The call came at 4:40 pm that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were. I promised that when I arrived, I would make up for lost time. I arrived in Florida at 1 am. My father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk to me. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer arrived in Florida before her father passed away. B．The writer didn’t find enough time to talk to her father all these years. C．The writer noticed nothing unusual about her father’s health before he was put in the hospital.

A．Hopeless. B．Sorry. C．Frightened. D．Disappointed. 3．Which words best describe the writer’s father? A．Honest and modest. B．Strict and demanding (要求高的). C．Talkative and positive (积极乐观的).

Are you ready for it? Although we have dreams, we may feel worried from time to time. Recently, because of the heavy schoolwork, many students are stressed. Moreover, more attention is paid to students’ language ability, so it is difficult for students to get high marks. As a result, some students are likely to lose heart. As to the problems, my classmates offer the following suggestions. First, we should not only work hard but also improve our learning methods. Second, we should plan our time carefully so that we can achieve a balance between schoolwork and hobbies. In my opinion, we should develop a healthy body by eating healthily and exercising more. Furthermore, we’d better share the worries with our teachers and friends. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
