For Hungarian people, it is important to eat a big breakfast. My family usually has bread, sausage, and cheese. And we drink tea or cocoa. I’m too busy to have lunch. So I have a snack at about 2:00 p.m., usually a sandwich and a cup of coffee. And we have dinner at 8:00 p.m.—chicken paprikash are our favorites.
I get up early, so I usually just drink a cup of tisane, a popular drink in our country. I always have an early lunch, usually around 11:30. I like kimbap—this is egg, ham or fish and vegetables in rice and seaweed. It tastes good. In the evening, my mother makes jjigae and kimchi for me.
People in my country usually eat a big breakfast. We like sausage, eggs and lots of Vegemite on toast! At 12:00, I have lunch. I usually just have a sandwich because I’m so busy. In the evening, we usually have BBQs. My children love hamburgers, and I do too! I always drink a nice cold beer with my burger.

In a time before plastic and cardboard boxes, people used barrels to keep and transport (运输) food and other things. Maria Beasley learned about barrels as a little girl. Her grandfather’s factory used quite a lot of them to transport food. However, Maria’s grandfather could not find enough barrels for his factory.
It took lots of skills to make a barrel. A hard-working cooper might make 5 barrels a day. Maria wanted to help her grandfather with his problem. She learned how the coopers made the barrels, and then began to study different kinds of machinery. In 1876, Maria went to the World’s Fair (展销会) when it came to her hometown. She studied all the new machines she saw. None of the machines made barrels, but they did give her some ideas. Maria decided to invent a barrel-making machine herself.
This was followed by five years of hard work, five years of lessons and mistakes. However, at the end of the five years, Maria invented the world’s first barrel-making machine. The machine could make 1,700 barrels a day. News of the invention quickly spread. At the next big fair, Maria’s machine was put on display (展示). Factory owners from all around the world wanted the machine. Soon, Maria became rich and famous.
Maria not only solved her grandpa’s problem, but also tried to make her machine even better. Later, she thought up new ideas. Her inventions made life better for millions of people around the world.
4. What was Maria’s grandfather’s problem?
A. His factory didn’t have enough barrels.
B. He had no idea about how to make a barrel.
C. Too many factory owners wanted his barrels.
D. His factory couldn’t take part in the World’s Fair.
5. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The factories. B. The barrels. C. The coopers. D. The machines.
6. Why did Maria’s machine become so popular?
A. It was put on display in a big fair. B. It could make lots of barrels a day.
C. It was cheaper than other machines. D. It made better barrels than coopers did.
7. Which of the following can best describe Maria Beasley?
A. Friendly and clever. B. Serious and honest.
C. Helpful and outgoing. D. Smart and hard-working.
C
Different kinds of music affect our feelings and alertness (警觉;灵敏) in different ways. Some kinds of music make us want to dance. Others build our confidence. Lullabies make babies and young kids feel calm (镇静)—so calm that they fall asleep at once.
Lullabies can be heard in cultures all over the world. Though they come from different places, these songs have a lot in common. They usually have simple words and a gentle rhythm (节奏). What’s more, people usually sing them in a soft voice.
Over the years, scientists have studied lullabies to find out more about their calming powers (力量). Research has shown that lullabies can slow a baby’s heart and breathing rates. These are signs of relaxation. The songs also make babies less alert to things around them, helping them to fall asleep faster and sleep better.
Experts find out a few reasons why lullabies are so calming for babies and others. For one thing, the slow rhythms of lullabies are similar to the comforting sounds a baby would have heard before birth—for example, the sounds of the mother’s heartbeat. For another, lullabies let babies know that someone caring for them is nearby. And this makes them feel safe and super relaxed.
But babies aren’t the only ones who benefit from lullabies. According to researchers, singing these songs relax both the listener and the singer. So if you need a bit of calm, sing or listen to a lullaby—then try to keep your eyes open!
8. Which of the following is TRUE about lullabies?
A. They can make a baby’s heart beat faster.
B. Lullabies can help babies become more alert.
C. They can be heard in different cultures worldwide.
D. Lullabies in different cultures have little in common.
9. How many reasons are mentioned why lullabies can calm babies in Paragraph 4?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
10. What does the underlined word “benefit” probably mean?
A. Accept some gifts. B. Get something good.
C. Know something fun. D. Learn some information.
11. What’s the writer’s writing purpose (意图)?
A. To share ways to write lullabies. B. To show the history of lullabies.
C. To express the love for lullabies. D. To tell some facts about lullabies.

Everyone in Trina’s family had a family sport. Everyone but Trina. “This has to change,” Trina thought, “I need a sport of my own!”
“Hey, Trina!” her big sister Kris called. “Are you coming to my baseball game tonight? I’m pitching!” “Sure!” said Trina. Kris was the best pitcher. “I wish I had such a strong arm.” Trina thought.
Trina went into the backyard. “Hey, Trina,” said her big brother Jesse. “Are you coming to my track meet on Saturday?” “Sure,” said Trina. Jesse was thin and fast. “I wish I could run and jump like that”, Trina thought.
After lunch, the whole family started cleaning the garage. “Catch” said Dad, when he found an old ball. He threw it to Jesse, but Trina jumped up and got it. “Monkey in the Middle!” Trina called out.

But—it really is kind of funny! You’re the sportiest one of us all!” “Yes, I’ve always thought you are just right for the triathlon (铁人三项),” joked Jesse. “You know—swimming and biking and running, all in one long race!”
Mom laughed. “Do you want to play on a team?” Trina nodded. It would be fun to play on a real team, with practice and uniforms and teammates of her own age. But for this afternoon, she liked Jesse’s idea. To become Triathlon Trina, she had some training to do. “Who wants to ride bikes with me to the pool?” she asked.
12. What can we know about Trina’s family?

Dear Lily,
Glad to share with you my school trip last week.
Last Friday, our class went to the science museum in the city centre. There we saw lots of great inventions on show and got to know more about the development of science and technology. We also experienced something new there, such as robots and 3D printing machines. One of the robots could dance, play the violin and even talk to us, which made everyone excited.
This amazing trip was not just interesting but also helped us learn a lot about science.
Yours

例文②
Dear Lily,
Glad to share with you my school trip last week.
Last Friday, our class went to a farm in the countryside. We saw different animals and plants there. The farmers taught us how to plant potatoes. It wasn’t as easy as we thought, but it was great fun. We also learned to make traditional food—Ma ci. We never did that before, but everyone had a good try. Food made by ourselves seemed more delicious!
It was a meaningful trip as we knew the value of hard work better.
Yours,
Zhang Hua
