Many young people grow vegetables on the balcony (阳台). Let’s see what the two young people think of that. Zhang Chao, a 17-year-old boy, is one of the “balcony farmers”. He likes to grow tomatoes at home when he is free. His love for that comes from his grandfather. When he was small, he lived in the countryside with his grandparents. And he learned to grow vegetables from his grandfather at that time. For Zhang, growing vegetables at home is not easy work, but it is important. Fang Minke is a girl student from Shenzhen. She likes growing vegetables on the balcony, too. She started to do that last year. For her, growing vegetables on the balcony is a good way to relax, and it brings her much fun. “When I see the nice colors and enjoy the clean air, I feel relaxed and close to nature!” she said. 1．What vegetables does Zhang Chao like to grow at home when he is free? 2．Who did Zhang Chao learn to grow vegetables from? 3．When did Fang Minke start to grow vegetables on the balcony? 4．What does Fang Minke think of growing vegetables on the balcony? 5．Do you like growing vegetables?

But they have little time for themselves. Do you know how much time they spend on different kinds of things in their daily (日常的) life? Here is the result of a new survey (调查) of 100 hard-working mothers, which shows their daily timetables (时间表). From the result, we know that they spend about 70 hours a week doing chores and looking after their families. They spend more than ten hours a day cooking, cleaning the house, getting children ready for school, and helping them with homework. Cooking takes up about one hour and nine minutes a day. Washing clothes takes about 61 minutes. Mothers also spend about 55 minutes getting children ready for school, about 53 minutes putting them to bed, and about 47 minutes helping them with homework. However, mothers with children under 16 get less than six hours’ sleep at night. 83% are not happy because they have less than an hour of their own time every day. Only 17% are happy with this kind of life. So mothers are busy and tired every day. All of us should do something to show our love for our mothers no matter whether (无论) we are young or old. On Mother’s Day, we shouldn’t forget to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to our mothers. When we have time, try our best to do some chores and let our mothers sit down and have a rest. 1．How many mothers show their daily timetables in the survey? 2．What do the mothers spend about 70 hours a week doing? 3．How long do the mothers spend cooking every day? 4．Who sleep less than six hours at night? 5．Do you like doing chores? Why? My brother Tim and I each have our own room. Tim is messy, but I am tidy. By Saturday of each week, the floor of Tim’s room would be full of dirty clothes, books and toys. He asked me to help him clean his room in the morning, and I usually helped him. Tim is the best player on our team. If he doesn’t play, the other team might win. Two weeks ago, my friend Sandy invited me to her house on Saturday morning. I asked Tim to start cleaning early, but on Saturday morning, his room was messier than ever. I told Sandy I couldn’t come. Sandy invited me again for the next Saturday. On Monday, I bought three big boxes. On the first box. I wrote “clothes”. On the second box. I wrote “books and toys”. On the third box. I wrote “rubbish”. For several days, I followed Tim at home, I pointed to clothes or toys on the floor, and said “Throw them in the right box!” Tim then started to remember to do it on his own. When Saturday came, we took the clothes from the first box to the laundry (洗衣店). Then we put the books on the bookcase and the toys in the toy box. Finally, we threw the rubbish away. Then Tim and I played with Sandy happily! 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Whose room is tidier? 2．Did the writer help Tim clean his room because he wanted Tim help his team win? 3．How many times did Sandy invite the writer to her house? 4．What did the writer get for Tim to help him keep his room clean? 5．Where did they take the clothes at last? It’s Saturday morning and the Jones children are busy preparing for their annual yard sale. All the children have spent the week cleaning their rooms and picking out things they no longer need. Their parents have agreed they can keep all the money they make today. Eight-year-old Billy is excited as he arranges (安排) his table. He’s selling broken toy robots, some old board games he doesn’t play with anymore, and clothes that are now too small. “Maybe other kids will like these,” he thinks hopefully. Twelve-year-old Suzy carefully organizes her children’s books. She loved these when she was younger, but now they seem too babyish for her. She wonders if another child might enjoy them as much as she once did. Fourteen-year-old Regina, who will start high school soon, has decided to sell her CD collection and some outgrown clothes. “I need money for new things,” she explains while arranging her table. By 7:00 a.m,, all three tables are ready in the front yard. Neighborhood families begin arriving soon after. Billy’s toys attract (吸引) younger children and sell quickly. Parents stop to look at Suzy’s books, while teenagers look through Regina’s CDs and clothes. At the end of the day, Billy counts $22, Suzy has $18, and Regina proudly holds $43 – the most of all. They’re all happy with their money and making plans. Billy wants new toys, Suzy is saving for a special book, and Regina can’t wait to go shopping. It’s been a successful yard sale, and they’re happy and satisfied with their money. 1．What does Billy choose to sell at the yard sale? 2．Why does Suzy decide to sell her children’s books? 3．Why do Billy’s toys sell so quickly? 4．How does Regina plan to use the money she makes? 5．How do the children feel about the results of their yard sale? 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 My family always has family dinners, as far as I can remember. When I was a little boy, my mother began to ask us to go to family dinners at least once a week. Every Sunday, my mother will buy a lot of food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We will wait for more family members to come before eating together at the table, my grandma’s dinner table. In the past, I felt that was a little silly (愚蠢的) tradition. However, I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family now. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a good time to talk and play with family. We can talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It makes me feel so happy. Finally, I understand the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family, a group of people who care about each other. Now, I’m always expecting Sunday to arrive. All the memories (记忆) around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever. 1．How often do the writer’s family members get together for dinner? 2．What did the writer think of the family dinner in the past? 3．What does the writer think of the family dinner now? 4．What’s the true meaning of this tradition? 5．Do you like family dinners?

However, the meals she made were pretty special—she would make breakfast food for dinner. One night after school, when Dad and I entered the kitchen, we saw my mom was very upset. As we came closer, we saw at least ten pieces of burnt bread on the desk. I knew that she wasted them again. Before my mom said anything, my dad gave her a hug, grabbed (抓) a piece of bread and said, “Darling, thank you for making the delicious bread for us.” And he turned around to me and asked me what happened at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember that he put some butter (黄油) on the burnt places, and ate it up as usual with every single bite (咬). After dinner, my mom said sorry to us for making the burnt bread. Dad smiled at her and said, “It’s OK. I love burnt bread, dear. You did it very well.” The other day after dinner, I asked him if he really liked that burnt bread. What he said that night is worth remembering for my whole life. He said, “Mom is busy and tired every day. She just doesn’t want us to be hungry. And a bit burnt food never hurts anyone.” As time went by, I became to know that life is not perfect and nobody is perfect. So don’t be angry if the bread gets burnt. No matter what kind of relationship it is in between husband and wife or parent and child, a bit of understanding of each other will make the world better. Be kind to those around you and the sunshine will exactly come around you. 1．How many people are there in the writer’s family? 2．What does the writer’s mom cook for dinner? 3．Why did Dad say he loved the burnt bread? 4．What will you do if your parent does a meal like the writer’s Mom?

Luo Yan, 29, smiles as he smells the soup cooked by his wife and mother. His six-year-old son, Bofeng, happily eats chicken given by his grandfather. Bofeng hasn’t seen his grandparents for a year, and his laughter fills the room with joy. Though it’s cold outside, the family’s happiness warms the house. They live in a faraway city but return every year to be “three generations under one roof.” Years ago, the trip home was long and tiring. Now, the high-speed train makes the journey just five hours. During the ride, they excitedly talk about their hometown and the decorations waiting for them. When they arrive, Luo’s parents greet them warmly. The house is decorated with red paper cuttings on the windows, Spring Festival couplets on the doors, and bright paintings on the walls. After dinner, the family stays up late. They watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV, eat snacks like candies and nuts, and make dumplings for midnight. Sitting together, Luo Yan shares his plan: “I don’t want us to be apart anymore. We’ll visit more often or bring you to the city. Home is where family is together.” At midnight, the village lights up. Luo Yan and his family light firecrackers and watch colorful fireworks fill the sky. Across China, millions of families celebrate their good luck, togetherness, and hopes for a bright future. Children cheer loudly, and grandparents smile as the new year begins. For the Luo family, the Spring Festival is not just about food or traditions.

They work, do the housework, cook meals and drive their children to take part in activities. Some families do not have time to eat meals together more than once a week. Our community (社区) decided that it was time to take a break. After three weeks of planning, we took one night off. We called it the “family night”. It was a night for families to spend time together. Sports teams stopped their practices, and teachers did not give homework. On the “family night”, we decided to turn off our televisions. “We also decided not to answer the phone,” answering machines said. “Please call back tomorrow.” Many families ordered hamburgers and other food from stores or restaurants so that they wouldn’t need to spend time cooking. There were lots of activities. Storytelling and card games were the most popular. These activities gave families the chance (机会) to spend time together. Children and parents weren’t so busy, and children didn’t spend so much time playing computer games or watching TV. On the “family night”, families relaxed and spent the evening together. We hope to have more “family nights”. 1．What was the “family night”? 2．How long did it take the community to plan for the “family night”? 3．Why did people order food from stores or restaurants on the “family night”? 4．What were the most popular events at the “family night”? 5．Do you want to have a “family night” in your community too?

My brother, August, is like the sun. My mum, dad and I are like planets that move around him. The only one who doesn’t move around August is our dog Daisy, because to her, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face. To Daisy, all our faces look the same, flat and pale like the moon. I’m used to how things are in our family. I understand that August is special and needs extra care. If I was making too much noise while playing and he needed to nap, I knew that I had to play quietly because he had treatments (治疗) and needed rest. If I wanted my mum and dad to watch me play football, I knew that they might not be there because they were taking August to his therapy or a doctor. My parents always say that I am very understanding. I just know that there is no point in complaining. I have seen August after his surgeries with his face bandaged (绑着绷带的) and his body full of tubes (管子). After seeing that, it feels silly to complain about small things like not getting a toy or missing a school play. I knew this even when I was six. No one told me; I just knew. So, I get used to not bothering my parents with small things. I learn to do things on my own, like how to put toys together and how to stay ahead in school. I never ask for help with homework. If I have trouble with a subject. I study it on my own until I understand. I do every school project by myself. When they ask about school, I always say “good”, even if it isn’t true. 1．Who is the centre of the family? 2．Why doesn’t Daisy treat August differently? 3．How did the writer feel when she saw August with bandages and tubes? 4．Why does the writer always say “good” about school? 5．What do you think of the writer according to the passage? （言之有理即可） 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。 It is winter.

They do all kinds of things for their families and kids. But they have little time for themselves. Do you know how much time they spend on different kinds of things in their daily (日常的) life? Here is the result of a new survey (调查) of 100 hard-working mothers, which shows their daily timetables (时间表). From the result, we know that they spend about 70 hours a week doing chores and looking after their families.

Washing clothes takes about 61 minutes. Mothers also spend about 55 minutes getting children ready for school, about 53 minutes putting them to bed, and about 47 minutes helping them with homework. However, mothers with children under 16 get less than six hours’ sleep at night. 83% are not happy because they have less than an hour of their own time every day. Only 17% are happy with this kind of life. So mothers are busy and tired every day. All of us should do something to show our love for our mothers no matter whether (无论) we are young or old. On Mother’s Day, we shouldn’t forget to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to our mothers. When we have time, try our best to do some chores and let our mothers sit down and have a rest. 1．How many mothers show their daily timetables in the survey? 2．What do the mothers spend about 70 hours a week doing? 3．How long do the mothers spend cooking every day? 4．Who sleep less than six hours at night? 5．Do you like doing chores?

Tim is messy, but I am tidy. By Saturday of each week, the floor of Tim’s room would be full of dirty clothes, books and toys. He asked me to help him clean his room in the morning, and I usually helped him. Tim is the best player on our team. If he doesn’t play, the other team might win. Two weeks ago, my friend Sandy invited me to her house on Saturday morning. I asked Tim to start cleaning early, but on Saturday morning, his room was messier than ever. I told Sandy I couldn’t come. Sandy invited me again for the next Saturday. On Monday, I bought three big boxes. On the first box. I wrote “clothes”. On the second box. I wrote “books and toys”. On the third box.

She thought it was the way to show her love for us. However, the meals she made were pretty special—she would make breakfast food for dinner. One night after school, when Dad and I entered the kitchen, we saw my mom was very upset. As we came closer, we saw at least ten pieces of burnt bread on the desk. I knew that she wasted them again. Before my mom said anything, my dad gave her a hug, grabbed (抓) a piece of bread and said, “Darling, thank you for making the delicious bread for us.” And he turned around to me and asked me what happened at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember that he put some butter (黄油) on the burnt places, and ate it up as usual with every single bite (咬). After dinner, my mom said sorry to us for making the burnt bread. Dad smiled at her and said, “It’s OK. I love burnt bread, dear. You did it very well.” The other day after dinner, I asked him if he really liked that burnt bread. What he said that night is worth remembering for my whole life. He said, “Mom is busy and tired every day. She just doesn’t want us to be hungry. And a bit burnt food never hurts anyone.” As time went by, I became to know that life is not perfect and nobody is perfect. So don’t be angry if the bread gets burnt.

My mum, dad and I are like planets that move around him. The only one who doesn’t move around August is our dog Daisy, because to her, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face. To Daisy, all our faces look the same, flat and pale like the moon. I’m used to how things are in our family. I understand that August is special and needs extra care. If I was making too much noise while playing and he needed to nap, I knew that I had to play quietly because he had treatments (治疗) and needed rest. If I wanted my mum and dad to watch me play football, I knew that they might not be there because they were taking August to his therapy or a doctor. My parents always say that I am very understanding. I just know that there is no point in complaining. I have seen August after his surgeries with his face bandaged (绑着绷带的) and his body full of tubes (管子). After seeing that, it feels silly to complain about small things like not getting a toy or missing a school play. I knew this even when I was six. No one told me; I just knew. So, I get used to not bothering my parents with small things. I learn to do things on my own, like how to put toys together and how to stay ahead in school. I never ask for help with homework. If I have trouble with a subject. I study it on my own until I understand. I do every school project by myself. When they ask about school, I always say “good”, even if it isn’t true. 1．Who is the centre of the family? 2．Why doesn’t Daisy treat August differently? 3．How did the writer feel when she saw August with bandages and tubes? 4．Why does the writer always say “good” about school? 5．What do you think of the writer according to the passage? （言之有理即可） 【答案】1．August. 2．Because to Daisy, August’s face looks just like anyone else’s face. 3．She felt it was silly to complain about small things. 4．Because she doesn’t want to bother her parents with her problems. 5．The writer is understanding, independent, and selfless. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者的家庭生活，尤其是弟弟August因健康问题需要特殊照顾，作者因此变得懂事、独立，尽量不增加父母的负担。 1．根据文章第1段“My brother, August, is like the sun.
