Tommy had seen that mini bike in the front window of Moore's Bike Shop.He had asked for
the bike and had said it was the only thing9 his Christmas perfect.10 Lily had the
same thought,she failed to say it,again.She was11 a shy girl that she felt embarrassed to do
so,even in front of her family.

jumped up and down on the bed,"Thank you,Dad!Thank you,mum!"
At the same time,Lily walked into the other room silently.There was 12
disappointment on'her face.It took a while for anyone to realize she was missing.

A
This was our last trip before high school.We went to the amusement park.I had been looking
forward to it for weeks.But looking at the roller coaster ()my stomach felt too tight to say
anything at all.
The big girl beside us was Tasha,my best friend Dan's sister.We came here in her car.She
was a singer.She was fantastic on the stage.Just the image of her up there made me think she was
so cool.
Our roller coaster car pulled up and my friends rushed forward.I felt my legs couldn't move.
All I could think about was the roller coaster might fly off into the sky.
Without a word,I turned,ran out of the line.I knew what people were saying about me,but I
didn't care.I just kept moving past the crowd,found a bench near the bathrooms to sit down and
put my head in my hands.
“Hey!Are you okay?”I looked up..It was Tasha!
"Oh,uh,yeah,Ijust started feeling,um,sick."I responded.
"You know,it's okay if you were scared.Everyone gets scared."She said.
"You don't."I said in a low voice."I've seen you on that stage.You were fearless."
"I'm glad it looks like I'm not scared!"Tasha smiled."But that's not true.I get really scared
and nervous before I perform."
Before I noticed she was on the bench by my side,her words moved on.
"Hey,look,singing is important to me.And I want to share what I love with other people.So,
even if I'm scared,I do it anyway.I push through the fear and just get up and do it.Is taking roller
coaster important to you?"
"Yeah,it is.And I want to be able to look back and remember having fun with my friends.I
don't want to remember running away and sitting alone by the bathrooms."
"Everyone gets scared,but brave people don't let fear control them."She looked into my eyes.
Still being lost in what she said,I saw my friends coming towards me.
I got up and went with them to the coaster.
When we were leaving,Tasha took a photo of my big smile in front of the coaster.I put it on
my door.
It stayed there through all four years of my high school,a reminder of what was important to
me.

A new study suggests that roosters can recognize themselves in a mirror.
Scientists use the"mark test"to test whether an animal can recognize itself.A mark is put on
an animal,usually in a spot that can only be seen in a mirror.Then the animal is allowed to look in
a mirror.If the animal seems to pay attention to the mark,scientists believe the animal has
recognized itself.
The list of animals who can recognize themselves in a mirror isn't long.The skill has mainly
been found in animals with large brains,like dolphins,chimpanzees and elephants.Until recently,
only one kind of bird had passed the test.
Scientists at the University of Bonn in Germany recently ran the mark test on roosters.They put
a pink triangle (on the chests of the roosters.But when the roosters looked in a mirror,they
didn't seem to notice the mark.
The scientists then needed a different way to test whether the roosters could recognize
themselves.
When there's danger-like a hawk()flying above-roosters make loud calls to warn nearby
chickens.But roosters only make the cries if other chickens can hear them.If they're alone,they
remain quiet so the hawk won't see them.
The scientists realized that they could use the shadow (of a hawk to test whether or not
the roosters thought they were alone-even when they could see"another"chicken in a mirror.
First,the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a closed-in space and
having a mirror around.Then,they ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above a
rooster and watching how it reacted.When there was no mirror,the roosters reacted as usual.It
called out when it was near another rooster(Picture),but remained quiet when it was
alone.But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror,it wasn't fooled into
thinking there was another rooster.It remained silent under the hawk shadow.It did this even if
there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror.
The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the
mirror,and not other roosters.

37.What is the purpose of the "mark test"?
A.To test a bird's ability to fly.
B.To measure an animal's brain size.
C.To sec if an animal can recognize itself.
D.To compare different animals'intelligence.
38.What does the underlined word"them"refer to?
A.Hawks
B.Roosters.
C.Chickens.
D.Scientists.
39.Which of the following pictures can be put intoA?
B.
40.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Roosters prefer to make no sounds when they face danger alone..
B.Roosters are not as smart as dolphins,chimpanzecs and elephants.
C.The mark test can exactly tell if an animal can recognize itself in the mirror.
D.When seeing its image in the mirror,the rooster thinks there's another rooster.

How to be a good listener!
As students,we should listen carefully in class.Listening needs us to pay attention and think
about what we hear.41 Here are some useful tips for you to follow.

think about how much we know about today's topic.When it's time to go to class,check if we have
taken all the things needed.42
Listen with a purpose.43 If you are clear about the problems you wish to solve in
class,you may listen to them,carefully as teachers explain.

language also'carries information.

the voice,we should realize that this is the key one.
Take good notes.Taking notes is another good way to pay attention in class.But not everyone
can take a good one.Here are some examples.It is much clearer if we keep our notes organizcd by
subject.45 Writing the date at the top of each page is helpful for the later revicw.
In a word,class is the key period for every student.We should make good use of it and try to
become an excellent listener in class.
