三、阅读理解 (每小题2分,共40分)

（A）

My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
     "Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
     And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.
     Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.
     And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."

(B)

What do you think is the most magic thing in the world? To me, it is a smile. A smile can start a friendship (友谊) , stop us from getting angry with each other and also make us feel warm.

Last year, I came here to be a middle school student. I had no friends then and felt very lonely. One day between classes, I ran in the playground. Suddenly I fell over heavily and lay on the ground. I tried to stand on my feet, but I was unable to do so. My ankle (脚踝) was hurting badly. I felt very uncomfortable and did wish that nobody saw me. But just then I saw a boy running straight towards me. As I looked up, I saw a big and pure (淳朴的) smile. It was from my new classmate Leo. I felt so warm inside. He held my hand to help me stand up. Without saying a word, only a smile started the friendship between Leo and me.

    Even best friends quarrel (吵架) sometimes and so do Leo and I. Last week after quarreling, I went home impolitely. Later I calmed down and felt terribly sorry for my rudeness. However, I didn't know what to do with the problem. Then, one day, I sent a smile emoji on my phone to Leo. I waited all day, worrying that he would never talk to me again. In the evening I was doing my homework when suddenly a ringtone (铃声) came to my ears. Leo video chatted with me! I saw a face of big smile on the screen. At that moment, all the complaints (抱怨) and embarrassment (尴尬) went away and there was only full understanding and friendship between us. That’s the magic of a smile.

As you can see, the power of a smile is great. Try to give others smiles every time and you will live in a magical world!

      C. He felt quite embarrassed and was unable to stand up.
