Her son was her only source(来源)of support. The villagers felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. They usually gave her some food and clothes. Then the hunters in the village killed the tiger that had eaten Molly’s son. They gave Molly the tiger’s baby. They told Molly to feed the tiger for a couple of months. Then she should kill it and sell its skin and meat for money. As days went by, the baby tiger grew up a little. Molly named it Snowball. Snowball enjoyed playing with Molly like a pet cat. They were getting closer and closer. A few months later, the villagers asked Molly why she had not killed the tiger. Molly said she had lost both her husband and her son. This tiger was the only companion she had left. She wanted to raise the tiger as her son. One year later, Snowball had grown very big. Molly’s house was too small for such a big tiger.

Failure is the mother of success C. What goes around comes around D. Time and tide wait for no man C Spring in Beijing is a warm and sunny season. However, it is also the season for catkins(杨絮). You can see lots of these little white balls of fuzz(茸毛) flying all around you. The white balls, flying with the wind, like falling snow, stay at one place thickly covering the land, like a thin blanket. Catkins are the seeds(种子) of female poplar(杨树) trees, most of the trees of those plants are female trees. The trees were widely planted in Beijing in the 1960s and 1970s, as they are cheap, easy to take care of and can grow quickly. The catkins grow along the road and on top of the branches.When the wind blows, catkins dance in the air. However, catkins cause a few problems. They can cause allergies (过敏反应) and make people cough. People with cough have an especially hard time dealing with them. Catkins can also make it hard for drivers to see the road ahead of them. They can even catch on fire! What's worse, the catkins bring a serious problem of air pollution. The local government has tried a few different things to deal with the catkins. “We can’t solve the catkin problem simply by cutting down the trees. The sex change program takes not only time, but also high costs and human work.We have cut some branches. We will also use high-pressure water guns to take down the seeds and wash them away,” Wang Xiaoping, a Beijing official, said to the reporter. 31. What can we learn about catkins? A. Catkins are the seeds of male poplar trees. B. Catkins are huge flying balls. C. Catkins are bad for our health. 3 D. Catkins are active on sunny days in each season. 32.

Why were poplar trees widely planted in Beijing in the 1960s and 1970s? A. Because they are always green all the year round. B. Because they can grow quickly. C. Because the people there like them best. D. Because their seeds can fly. 35. Where can we probably find the text? A. In a guidebook B. In a storybook C. In a newspaper D. In a poster D My mother is cool — much cooler than most people. I give her full credit(功劳) for making me the person who I am today. To thank her, I'd like to share some of the things she taught me. 36. _ No matter how hard things got, my mom could always joke about them. It has taught me things are never, ever, end-of-the-world kind of bad. I'm sure this has made me a more relaxed person. 37. _ My mother made her own clothes she felt like wearing. Soon enough, people asked her to make clothes, and it turned into a full-time business. That shows me how you can set up your own business by expressing yourself truthfully. 38. _ As a creative, my mother always encouraged us to do imaginative things for enjoyment and discouraged TV. We dressed up in costumes(戏服), drew pictures, and sang at the top of our lungs(肺). Today, I am a very fun person to be with. 39. _ My mom has always pushed me towards becoming independent. Not for her good, but for mine. I made my own decisions without her trying to manage me. Because of this, I grow up to be completely independent. 40. _ Growing up, I've made my fair share of mistakes. Instead of saying “I told you so”, my mom always let me work things out myself. She was also there to help me pick up the pieces, if I ever needed help. For all that you've done and everything that you are—thank you, mom! A. Imagination has no end. B. Independence is important. C. Self-expression leads to self-achievement. D. Mistakes are OK as long as you learn from them. E.
