The little boy looked up at his grandfather. “Today at school, Shane McGuire called me a potato head!” The old man’s eyes smiled down at the boy. “Is that all?” Grandpa laughed. “Well, if that young man knew anything about potatoes, he’d know that he just gave you a compliment.” “What do you mean?” his grandson asked. “The potato, my boy, is one of the most loved vegetables in the world. Where would we all be without the potato? It’s delicious, widely-used, satisfying, and very good for you!” Patrick laughed. “What else do you know about potatoes, Grandpa?” “That’s the spirit, my boy! Well, let me see... The potato was first grown in South America. It grew on the hillsides of the Andes Mountain range. Farmers there have been growing potatoes for over 7,000 years! It wasn’t until the 16th century that the Spanish brought the potato back to Europe with them. Still, it was another 200 years before potatoes were grown widely in Ireland. We soon learned that we could feed ten people with just an acre (英亩) of potatoes. We started growing them all over Ireland, and the population of our country grew rapidly. Sad to say, though, in the 1840s, a plant disease hit the potatoes, causing widespread hunger. Many people had to leave Ireland and moved overseas to North America. But we Irish took our love of potatoes with us, and it became popular there too. Now, Canadians and Americans love potatoes as well.” “So, Paddy,” Grandpa continued, “next time Shane McGuire calls you a potato head, just tell him there’s nothing wrong with potatoes—but it’s certainly wrong to call people names.” 1.

I left it in my bag in the hallway outside the classroom. I was really looking forward to eating it at break-time.” “Somebody took my cake,” Susan complained. “I had put it in a small box.

The red lanterns on streets caught her eyes. “Red means celebration and good luck. It felt completely new to me,” she recalled (回忆). Influenced by her sister, who had studied in China, Burus viewed the trip not just as a language-learning chance but as an adventure. “My sister showed me photos of festivals, friends, and food of China. I wanted to experience them all,” she said. After arriving at Tianjin University, Burus found that the usually busy campus was almost empty as most Chinese students had headed home for the Spring Festival. “It reminded me of the Ramadan Feast in Turkey. Both cultures value family get-togethers,” she noticed. As classes began, kind teachers and classmates helped her get used to the new environment easily. Burus soon built friendships with her Chinese classmate Meiqi through food. Meiqi taught her to use chopsticks and introduced her to Tianjin’s popular street foods. In 2024, Burus celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival—being on the same day as her birthday—by making zongzi with classmates. The tradition made her think of Turkey’s Nowruz, a spring festival. “Both respect the change of seasons,” she said. After two terms, before Burus returned to Turkey, she buried (埋) a wish bottle at Tianjin University, hoping to become a bridge for cultural exchange (交流). “China feels like a second home.

Happy Mars-iversary (火星纪念日) to me!” I landed here and became a Mars rover (漫游者，探测器) on August 5, 2012. To celebrate, I used all 17 of my cameras to take photos of my whole body—it took 2 hours! As usual, my team on Earth planned some activities for me: watching the clouds, examining some rocks and looking for frost (霜冻). Why frost? Finding it can prove Mars has water. At 5:30 a.m. Mars time, I set off to an area called “Kiato” to look for the frost. Winter here is really really cold. It was about -70℃ this morning. Perfect for frost. Cold temperatures allow frost to form. But it also meant I needed much more power to keep warm. I had to finish the work before the sunrise. I’ve searched for the frost twice before but found nothing. Today, I made a third attempt. I did my best. Sadly, still no luck today... BUT! Earth just sent surprising news! Scientists noticed some mud cracks (泥浆裂缝) on the photo I took two years ago at “Pontours”. These cracks showed Mars had wet-and-dry cycles. These cycles are thought to create conditions where life might have formed. It is my best gift ever. At that moment, I realized what I did today would make a big difference to the future. Actually, before I came to Mars, my team thought I’d work here for only two years. Eleven years have passed. Now I’m still working here. I’m more tired than before because my power source is becoming weaker and weaker. I’m too old! My body is not as strong as before. Maybe I can’t do something which is highly challenging. But my job remains as important as ever. For me, every day counts. Tomorrow, I will keep climbing Mount Sharp (It’s taller than Mount Qomolangma!). Maybe I’ll find frost then... Bye for now! 1. What did the Mars rover do to celebrate the Mars-iversary? A. It watched the clouds. B. It checked some rocks. C. It took pictures of itself. D. It listened to special songs. 2. What does the underlined word “attempt” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Try. B. Choice. C. Promise. D. Suggestion. 3. What was the best gift for the Mars rover according to the diary? A. The wish from the scientists. B. The news from Earth that day. C. The photos it took at “Pontours”. D. The mud cracks it found at “Kiato”. 4. What would the Mars rover do after the Mars-iversary? A.

Suddenly, loud cries broke the silence—five white-faced monkeys jumped in, took away my bananas and rushed into the forest! This was just one of many surprising moments in Costa Rica. A few days earlier, I first got to a lively town in this small country. It sits at the foot of Arenal Volcano (火山). When I looked up, thick clouds completely covered the volcano—there was nothing to see! But the next morning, I woke up early—and there it was! I couldn’t look away! Then I hiked to see La Fortuna Waterfall. Going down 500 steps was tiring, but blue butterflies danced around me. The waterfall was so loud! I touched the water—it was freezing cold! Still, I jumped in like a brave penguin. That evening, I relaxed in the natural hot spring under the waterfall. The next day, I visited Monteverde Cloud Forest with a guide. While crossing a bridge high above the trees, I couldn’t believe my eyes: plants covered everywhere in Costa Rica—mountains, beaches and even towns! Nature is truly the boss here! “Our rainforest cover has doubled from 26% to over 52% in the past 30 years,” my guide told me. “We’ve set up many nature parks to protect the rainforest.” Just as I was wowed by the sea of green, a whisper came, “Be quiet—big cats live here.” As we left the cloud forest, my guide smiled and said, “Everyone here lives with nature.” That’s when I realized: Costa Rica’s magic isn’t just its beauty—it’s how local people work together to keep it wild. 1.

Hope you all will enjoy it,” it said. “YUMMY!” I carefully replied. The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the Bowery Mission, which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was actually an organization that helped poor families. This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community. I spent more time taking art classes and doing different sports. I then got some group texts from the organization. When a message came about offering food, I texted back, “Count me in!” However, I started to feel bad about this lie (谎言). Another man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends. During this time, I noticed how much Jared’s life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am learning from Jared, I have made more efforts to my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text. Yet, I replied, “Hey, sorry, this is not Jared, but I hope he is doing well.” 1. How did the writer feel when she got the second text? A. Strange. B. Interested. C. Nervous. D. Bored. 2. What can we infer (推断) from paragraph 5? A. Jared stopped going to the charity. B. Jared would like to join in a donation event. C. The writer was curious about a gaming group. D. The writer knew more about Jared through texts. 3. Why did the writer feel bad about the lie? A. She could not help the man like Jared. B. She was unable to support her own friends. C. She was not a good listener for the man. D. She could not get on well with her own friends. 4. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. An Important Lesson about Honesty B. A Message that Has Never Been Sent C. A Self-discovery Journey with a Wrong Number D.

Kids came in laughing and talking, but no one sat next to me except Jack, who seemed popular and made everyone laugh. The teacher, a tall man with a yellow beard, stood at the chalkboard. He introduced himself as Mr. Browne and started talking about what we’d be learning this semester. While he spoke, I doodled (乱画) in my notebook nervously. Mr. Browne wrote “P-R-E-C-E-P-T” on the board and told us to write it down. “Who knows what a precept is?” he asked. No one raised their hand. With a smile, he explained, “It’s a rule about important things—like a saying that helps guide us.” He asked us to name important things. “Family! Pets! The environment!” Reid yelled, “Sharks!” Mr. Browne laughed and wrote them all down. “But no one’s named the most important thing.” We all looked at him, confused (困惑的). Then he wrote, “WHO WE ARE!” He emphasized that knowing ourselves is the most important thing. He pointed out the school plaque (牌匾) “It says ‘Know Yourself.’” He said smiling and nodding. “And learning who you are is why you’re here.” Jack joked, “I thought we were here to learn English,” making everyone laugh. He wrote his September precept on the board: WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING RIGHT AND BEING KIND, CHOOSE KIND. He told us to start a section in our notebooks called “Mr. Browne’s Precepts.” Each month, he’d share a new precept, and we’d discuss and write essays about it.

It all started with a small cubby (小柜子). Six-year-old Summer asked me to take my backpack out of “her” cubby. “You don’t own this cubby,” six-year-old me replied. “Why don’t you just use a different cubby?” “I’ve been using this cubby all week,” said Summer. “You’re the one who needs to use a different cubby!” “Well,” I said. “I don’t think you’re being very friendly.” “Well,” said Summer. “Maybe that’s because you’re not my friend!” In the first grade, during a ball game, we argued again. Summer said I was out of the game because the ball bounced twice, but I knew it only bounced once by the rule. She said I was a sore loser, and I said the same about her. In the third grade, we had another disagreement when we were in the chess club. I questioned her move (走棋), and she got angry, saying the wrong move was that she agreed to play with me.

During rehearsals, we practiced over and over again in order to give a wonderful performance on the stage (舞台) and we started talking with each other before the big show.

Colleen Wall, an artist, paints beautiful murals (壁画) in hospitals to help patients feel better. Her goal is to give them a “window view” of nature, allowing them to imagine being in peaceful, sunny places instead of hospital rooms. Colleen first became interested in this work in 1995 when she had cancer (癌症) herself. After getting better, she decided to help other patients through art. One day, while volunteering at a hospital, she cheerfully told a patient, “It’s such a beautiful day outside!” The patient sadly replied, “It always looks the same from here.” This conversation deeply moved Colleen and inspired her to start her project—“A View for a Room. ” She wanted to change hospital rooms by creating paintings that looked like windows to nature. After raising enough money for her project, Colleen created 20 large paintings. Each one shows lovely natural views like forests, beaches, and country roads. The paintings also have uplifting messages like “Stay Strong” and “Hope Heals” to cheer patients up. Doctors say that looking at nature pictures can actually help people feel less pain and get better, making Colleen’s work even more meaningful. Last November, Colleen painted her murals on walls at Roswell Park Cancer Center in New York. “Being in hospital for a long time can make people feel lonely,” Colleen explained. “My paintings help them feel like they’re outside enjoying nature.” Many patients say the colorful murals make their rooms brighter and happier. For Colleen, this work is special because she understands what patients are going through. “I want to share the same hope that helped me when I was sick,” she says. 1.

The little boy looked up at his grandfather. “Today at school, Shane McGuire called me a potato head!” The old man’s eyes smiled down at the boy. “Is that all?” Grandpa laughed. “Well, if that young man knew anything about potatoes, he’d know that he just gave you a compliment.” “What do you mean?” his grandson asked. “The potato, my boy, is one of the most loved vegetables in the world. Where would we all be without the potato? It’s delicious, widely-used, satisfying, and very good for you!” Patrick laughed. “What else do you know about potatoes, Grandpa?” “That’s the spirit, my boy! Well, let me see... The potato was first grown in South America. It grew on the hillsides of the Andes Mountain range. Farmers there have been growing potatoes for over 7,000 years! It wasn’t until the 16th century that the Spanish brought the potato back to Europe with them. Still, it was another 200 years before potatoes were grown widely in Ireland. We soon learned that we could feed ten people with just an acre (英亩) of potatoes. We started growing them all over Ireland, and the population of our country grew rapidly. Sad to say, though, in the 1840s, a plant disease hit the potatoes, causing widespread hunger. Many people had to leave Ireland and moved overseas to North America. But we Irish took our love of potatoes with us, and it became popular there too. Now, Canadians and Americans love potatoes as well.” “So, Paddy,” Grandpa continued, “next time Shane McGuire calls you a potato head, just tell him there’s nothing wrong with potatoes—but it’s certainly wrong to call people names.” 1.

Happy Mars-iversary (火星纪念日) to me!” I landed here and became a Mars rover (漫游者，探测器) on August 5, 2012. To celebrate, I used all 17 of my cameras to take photos of my whole body—it took 2 hours! As usual, my team on Earth planned some activities for me: watching the clouds, examining some rocks and looking for frost (霜冻). Why frost? Finding it can prove Mars has water. At 5:30 a.m. Mars time, I set off to an area called “Kiato” to look for the frost. Winter here is really really cold. It was about -70℃ this morning. Perfect for frost. Cold temperatures allow frost to form. But it also meant I needed much more power to keep warm. I had to finish the work before the sunrise. I’ve searched for the frost twice before but found nothing. Today, I made a third attempt. I did my best. Sadly, still no luck today... BUT! Earth just sent surprising news! Scientists noticed some mud cracks (泥浆裂缝) on the photo I took two years ago at “Pontours”. These cracks showed Mars had wet-and-dry cycles. These cycles are thought to create conditions where life might have formed. It is my best gift ever. At that moment, I realized what I did today would make a big difference to the future. Actually, before I came to Mars, my team thought I’d work here for only two years. Eleven years have passed. Now I’m still working here. I’m more tired than before because my power source is becoming weaker and weaker. I’m too old! My body is not as strong as before. Maybe I can’t do something which is highly challenging. But my job remains as important as ever. For me, every day counts. Tomorrow, I will keep climbing Mount Sharp (It’s taller than Mount Qomolangma!). Maybe I’ll find frost then... Bye for now! 1. What did the Mars rover do to celebrate the Mars-iversary? A. It watched the clouds. B. It checked some rocks. C. It took pictures of itself. D. It listened to special songs. 2. What does the underlined word “attempt” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Try. B. Choice. C. Promise. D. Suggestion. 3. What was the best gift for the Mars rover according to the diary? A. The wish from the scientists. B. The news from Earth that day. C. The photos it took at “Pontours”. D. The mud cracks it found at “Kiato”. 4. What would the Mars rover do after the Mars-iversary? A. Go back to Earth. B. Go on doing science research. C. Plan activities for next week. D. Do more highly challenging jobs. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4.

Suddenly, loud cries broke the silence—five white-faced monkeys jumped in, took away my bananas and rushed into the forest! This was just one of many surprising moments in Costa Rica. A few days earlier, I first got to a lively town in this small country. It sits at the foot of Arenal Volcano (火山). When I looked up, thick clouds completely covered the volcano—there was nothing to see! But the next morning, I woke up early—and there it was! I couldn’t look away! Then I hiked to see La Fortuna Waterfall. Going down 500 steps was tiring, but blue butterflies danced around me. The waterfall was so loud! I touched the water—it was freezing cold! Still, I jumped in like a brave penguin. That evening, I relaxed in the natural hot spring under the waterfall. The next day, I visited Monteverde Cloud Forest with a guide. While crossing a bridge high above the trees, I couldn’t believe my eyes: plants covered everywhere in Costa Rica—mountains, beaches and even towns! Nature is truly the boss here! “Our rainforest cover has doubled from 26% to over 52% in the past 30 years,” my guide told me. “We’ve set up many nature parks to protect the rainforest.” Just as I was wowed by the sea of green, a whisper came, “Be quiet—big cats live here.” As we left the cloud forest, my guide smiled and said, “Everyone here lives with nature.” That’s when I realized: Costa Rica’s magic isn’t just its beauty—it’s how local people work together to keep it wild. 1.

And each of us joined an old school tradition—the plant sale held in early May, just in time for Mother’s Day. In third grade, I finally took part in the plant sale. I wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn’t have any money. My eldest sister helped me after I told her my secret. At the sale, I carefully checked every plant until I picked the best geranium (天竺葵). Once I had secretly brought it home, I hid it on the upstairs neighbor’s porch with my sister.

She arrived home full of nervous excitement, the geranium hidden in a bag under her sweater. “I looked at every plant,” she explained, “and I know I got the best one!” With a sweet sense of déjà vu (似曾相识), I helped my little sister hide that geranium on the neighbor’s porch. I was there when she gave my mother the geranium, and I watched them both bursting with pride and happiness. My mother noticed me watching, and she gave me a secret smile.

It was a text (短信) from an unfamiliar number, showing a photo of a smiling man in his 30s. “What a strange picture to receive!” I thought to myself. For the past three years, I have been getting texts meant for this man, Jared. When the second text came, I was a playful girl in the Grade Six. “My Mom just told me that the Football Club will host a free barbecue (烧烤) dinner on Saturday! Hope you all will enjoy it,” it said. “YUMMY!” I carefully replied. The story of Jared became deeper. I learned that he was part of the Bowery Mission, which sounded like a gaming group. Looking it up, I realized it was actually an organization that helped poor families. This was around the same time I stopped volunteering in my community. I spent more time taking art classes and doing different sports. I then got some group texts from the organization. When a message came about offering food, I texted back, “Count me in!” However, I started to feel bad about this lie (谎言). Another man sent a long message, talking about the hopeless moments in his life. As I imagined what a good friend Jared could be, I felt ashamed that I was unable to provide the support this man needed and realized that I was not even a good listener to my own friends. During this time, I noticed how much Jared’s life has changed and I have also been discovering who I am learning from Jared, I have made more efforts to my community, and become a more understanding friend. Last month, I received another text. Yet, I replied, “Hey, sorry, this is not Jared, but I hope he is doing well.” 1. How did the writer feel when she got the second text? A. Strange. B. Interested.

Her goal is to give them a “window view” of nature, allowing them to imagine being in peaceful, sunny places instead of hospital rooms. Colleen first became interested in this work in 1995 when she had cancer (癌症) herself. After getting better, she decided to help other patients through art. One day, while volunteering at a hospital, she cheerfully told a patient, “It’s such a beautiful day outside!” The patient sadly replied, “It always looks the same from here.” This conversation deeply moved Colleen and inspired her to start her project—“A View for a Room. ” She wanted to change hospital rooms by creating paintings that looked like windows to nature.

If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary. What’s more, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand (倒立) if anyone got a perfect score. Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased “t-y” and wrote “I-y” before handing in her paper. After breaks, Ms. McCormack walked in and cleared her throat, “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!?” The whole class cheered! Ms. McCormack then gave Karie the prize with the label on it: To Karie, for her perfect score in spelling. “Is everything OK?” Mom asked Karie after school. “Everything’s PERFECT!” Karie shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Mom hugged her, “Dad must be excited about it.” “And Casper, too,” Karie scooped up her cat, “Can you spell ‘nicely,’ Casper? And ‘quickly’ and ‘honesly’, and…” Honesly? Oh, My! “H-O-N-E-S-L-Y”! Karie’s stomach tumbled (摔倒) to the floor. She put Casper down and stuffed the test paper into her bag as soon as possible. She fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all? That Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing? Karie pulled out the test paper. She picked up her pencil. If she put the missing “t” back in, no one would know… The next morning, Karie went to school early. Her hands trembled. She gave Ms. McCormack the test paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled ‘honestly’ and you didn’t catch it, Ms. McCormack.” For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then she picked up her pen, crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” before handing the dictionary back to Karie. Karie asked. “I can still keep this, honestly?” “For ‘honestly,’ no,” Ms. McCormack smiled, “But for honesty, yes.” 1.
