Seed of Kindness
Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience (经历) of his childhood.
When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog happily and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you anymore.” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally, he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again, he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!”
22. One day as Jim walked down the street, ________.
A. he said kind words to the lady B. he looked at himself in the river
C. he saw a young lady drop her bags D. he told the experience of his childhood
23. Jim was feeling ________ when he whistled to his dog.

24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Jim usually had many friends around him.
B. Jim often washed his dirty face in the lake.
C. Jim never took good care of his friend, Tige.

C
We all need friends in our life. We can share our interests, ideas, dreams with them, and they can help us out when we are sad. Just as you have friends during your early years of school, you can build a strong friendship with someone else in middle school.
There’s one thing that all friendships share: the need for company. You can do something with the friends, like going to the library or playing table tennis. You can talk about things that you like and share your feelings. You can stay with them and care for them when something bad happens.
But building friendships in middle school can be difficult because there are changes happening around you—your school your teachers, your classes. These changes aren’t easy to deal with (应付). So you don’t need to be best friends with everyone in your grade, but you should always try to find someone that you can talk to about everything.
If you don’t have any friends in your grade, here are some tips for you. First, your middle school years are all about trying new things, so don’t be afraid to try something new! Next, don’t be afraid to ask someone their interests and skills. Besides, take it easy—it takes time for people to be friendly to you, but it’s wonderful when they do! All in all, it can be hard to have new friends in middle school, but when you find someone who you connect with (联系), it can be great! Try to get to know others—that may be the start of great middle school friendships.
25. The word “company” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. being with a person B. keeping a good feeling
C. dealing with difficulty D. doing a survey on interests
26. What does the writer think of making friends in middle school?
A. It’s easy to get on with new classmates. B. Having close friends helps us study well.
C. Don’t give up looking for a new friend. D. Don’t be friends with people in other grades.
27. Why does the writer tell us to “take it easy” in Paragraph 4?
A. Because it needs time for people to be friends. B. Because it can be great to learn new subjects.
C. Because it gets people afraid to make friends. D. Because it’s wonderful to connect with others.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Best gifts to get from middle school friendships.
B. How we keep nice to our middle school friends.
C. New things to do with our middle school friends.
D. Why and how to build middle school friendships.
D
Can’t stop thinking about the book you finished last week? That means you got a classic book hangover. “Book hangover” isn’t an official term, but the experience is very real. “We get very sad when a book ends,” says Solomon, a psychologist (心理学家). “It is as though we are losing our world and the characters in it.” Making the loss even more painful is the fact that the made-up world is often better than the reality. It may take our brains some time to get used to that.
So, what’s behind the book hangover? Well, there are a few factors at play.
Basically, you are sad that it’s over. Ending a great book is like completing a fantastic movie or vacation. It’s normal to feel a bit blue that the good times are over. Besides, you’re thrown back to reality. Reading puts you in the driver’s seat. You can put the book down if the story makes you upset or pick it up again if you want to stay away from real life for a few minutes. Losing this control might make you feel lost and upset. Moreover, you’re emotionally (情感上) spent. Feeling what the characters feel makes reading wonderful. But it can use up your emotion. As a result, when the book ends and the characters are no longer there to activate your mind and heart, you may feel empty and tired.
Then how do you get over a book hangover? Here is some smart advice.
First, pick up a new book. Many book lovers say picking up a new book is their favorite cure (治疗) for a book hangover. “I always have another unread book ready to read to cure that previous book hangover,” says Ferguson, a book lover. Second, reread your favorite parts. If you love a story so much that you can’t let it go, why not enjoy yourself by revisiting those beloved characters and worlds? Third, retell the story with a friend. “I like to discuss the book with another reader. I like to hear their views,” says Scott, another book lover. Research shows that reading stimulates (刺激) the brain’s pleasure centers and friendship developed through books also makes us happier. Connecting a love of reading with friendship will help you feel better during a book hangover.
29. Which of the following shows you may experience a book hangover?
A. You feel sad after you finish reading a book you love.
B. You know how the characters feel about their life events.
C. You realize the reality is better than the world in the book.
D. You understand what the writers want to show through books.
30. To get over the book hangover, we can ________.
A. read the whole book again and again
B. share the story in the book with friends
C. write down our feelings about the book
D. read at least two books at the same time
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How useful reading is and what to do to enjoy it.
B. What a book hangover is and ways to deal with it.
C. Why a book hangover is helpful for the book lovers.
D. When people can get out of troubles through reading.

We all need friends in our life. We can share our interests, ideas, dreams with them, and they can help us out when we are sad. Just as you have friends during your early years of school, you can build a strong friendship with someone else in middle school.
There’s one thing that all friendships share: the need for company. You can do something with the friends, like going to the library or playing table tennis. You can talk about things that you like and share your feelings. You can stay with them and care for them when something bad happens.
But building friendships in middle school can be difficult because there are changes happening around you—your school, your teachers, your classes. These changes aren’t easy to deal with (应付). So you don’t need to be best friends with everyone in your grade, but you should always try to find someone that you can talk to about everything.
If you don’t have any friends in your grade, here are some tips for you. First, your middle school years are all about trying new things, so don’t be afraid to try something new! Next, don’t be afraid to ask someone their interests and skills. Besides, take it easy—it takes time for people to be friendly to you, but it’s wonderful when they do! All in all, it can be hard to have new friends in middle school, but when you find someone who you connect with (联系), it can be great! Try to get to know others—that may be the start of great middle school friendships.
25. The word “company” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. being with a person B. keeping a good feeling
C. dealing with difficulty D. doing a survey on interests
26. What does the writer think of making friends in middle school?
A. It’s easy to get on with new classmates. B. Having close friends helps us study well.
C. Don’t give up looking for a new friend. D. Don’t be friends with people in other grades.
27. Why does the writer tell us to “take it easy” in Paragraph 4?
A. Because it needs time for people to be friends. B. Because it can be great to learn new subjects.
C. Because it gets people afraid to make friends. D. Because it’s wonderful to connect with others.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Best gifts to get from middle school friendships.
B. How we keep nice to our middle school friends.
C. New things to do with our middle school friends.
D. Why and how to build middle school friendships.
【答案】25. A 26. C 27. A 28. D

Can’t stop thinking about the book you finished last week? That means you got a classic book hangover. “Book hangover” isn’t an official term, but the experience is very real. “We get very sad when a book ends,” says Solomon, a psychologist (心理学家). “It is as though we are losing our world and the characters in it.” Making the loss even more painful is the fact that the made-up world is often better than the reality. It may take our brains some time to get used to that.
So, what’s behind the book hangover? Well, there are a few factors at play.
Basically you are sad that it’s over. Ending a great book is like completing a fantastic movie or vacation. It’s normal to feel a bit blue that the good times are over. Besides, you’re thrown back to reality. Reading puts you in the driver’s seat. You can put the book down if the story makes you upset or pick it up again if you want to stay away from real life for a few minutes. Losing this control might make you feel lost and upset. Moreover, you’re emotionally (情感上) spent. Feeling what the characters feel makes reading wonderful. But it can use up your emotion. As a result, when the book ends and the characters are no longer there to activate your mind and heart, you may feel empty and tired.
Then how do you get over a book hangover? Here is some smart advice.
First, pick up a new book. Many book lovers say picking up a new book is their favorite cure (治疗) for a book hangover. “I always have another unread book ready to read to cure that previous book hangover,” says Ferguson, a book lover. Second, reread your favorite parts. If you love a story so much that you can’t let it go, why not enjoy yourself by revisiting those beloved characters and worlds? Third, retell the story with a friend. “I like to discuss the book with another reader. I like to hear their views,” says Scott, another book lover. Research shows that reading stimulates (刺激) the brain’s pleasure centers and friendship developed through books also makes us happier. Connecting a love of reading with friendship will help you feel better during a book hangover.
29. Which of the following shows you may experience a book hangover?
A. You feel sad after you finish reading a book you love.
B. You know how the characters feel about their life events.
C. You realize the reality is better than the world in the book.
D. You understand what the writers want to show through books.
30. To get over the book hangover, we can ________.
A. read the whole book again and again
B. share the story in the book with friends
C. write down our feelings about the book
D. read at least two books at the same time
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How useful reading is and what to do to enjoy it.
B. What a book hangover is and ways to deal with it.
C. Why a book hangover is helpful for the book lovers.
D. When people can get out of troubles through reading.
【答案】29. A 30. B 31. B

My favorite subject is PE, because I am good at playing football, volleyball and doing chin-ups. Sometimes I play football with my classmates in PE class. We always have a great time and enjoy the feeling of “teamwork”. It can not only bring us a lot of joy, but also help us keep fit and strong.
To do a better job in this subject, I’m going to practice in a more scientific way after doing my homework, just as our PE teacher often tells us. And also, I need to train hard to improve my skills, which will help me get well prepared for some important PE tests next year.
