"Cleaning the city and taking lessons both bring me joy,"he says with bright eyes.Not long ago,Kofi designed a simple hand-pushed cart (that soris plastic,glass and paper while he walks.His idea not only saves time but also increases the value of recycled waste.A local company noticed his clever invention and offered him a small scholarship ()"My hands don't look that beautiful, but my mind never stops thinking,"Kofi smiles."Work is not only for making a living.It helps me grow little by little.” His neighbor Mensah is totally different.He is a high school graduate ()yet he refuses to do any "dirty work".He stays at home all day long and often says,"No geod work,no happiness."However,Kofi disagrees."Happiness doesn't fall from a fancy job.It grows from honest work,watered by hard work."

A.APoor Boy's Hard Life in Ghana B.Happiness Grows from Honest Work C.How to Become a Successful Designer Q The men's World Cup takes place every four years.Recently,people have been arguing FIFA about a question:Is it OK to miss school for sports? 第3页共7页 Some people think it is a good idea to let children stay at home for big games.First,big sports events only come once every few years.Second,watching sports is exciting and fun.A study even shows that watching sports improves people's well-being.Third,many kids will stay up late to watch matches and fcel tired in class the next day.For this reason,supporters believe it might be better to let them rest at home instead of sitting in class without learning much.Some parents also hold the view that missing one day of school is not a great loss (损失). However,other people hold different opinions.They argue that education matters more than sports.In Mexico,the government once planned to end school early for the World Cup,but parents got angry and the plan failed.One parent group stated,"We cannot sacrifice our children's education for a sports event." Besides,making special rules just for football is unfair.What if students want to miss school to watch other sports?There will be no clear standards.What's more,kids can enjoy matches after school without missing lessons.Parents can control whether their children stay up late.Some schools even play the games on classroom TVs during breaks. There is no simple answer to this heated discussion.On the one hand,it is unreasonable to say sports are more important than education.On the other hand,unexpected emergencies like heavy rain also,cause students to miss classes.In short,each family should make a suitable choice for themselves. 27.How often does the men's World Cup happen? A.Every year. B.Every two yeaxs C.Every four years. 28.Why do some peopie think it is OK to miss school for sports? A.Sports are less important than education. B.Watching sports brings people good feelings. C.Missing school for games is a big waste of time. 29.What does the underlined word"sacrifice"mean in Paragraph 3? A.牺牲 B.享受 心.支持 30.We can infer(推断)from this text that A.schools should value sports above school education B.all parents support missing school for the World Cup C.every family should make their own proper decisions 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) While learning a subject you don't like may seem like a difficult task,there are ways to make it more acceptable-and even enjoyable.Here are some helpful tips. >Find interesting ways to study You can make good use of technology. 31 Eind ones that work for you.You can also try coming up with your own studying ways like making cards and creating mind maps. >Conneat the subject with your daily life Try to find some interesting use of the subject in your daily life.When the subject is connected with real life,32Then it will be easier to focus when you're studying it. 33 Study with somepme alse who is in the same boat as you-someone who also has to study this unlikable subject.You can encourage and help each other when one of you gets stuek. >Make a study plan and stick to it If you treat studying like a chore that you have to do,34 But if you create a study plan 第4页共7页 and keep to it,then studying doesn't seem so bad. >Treat yourself after achieving a goal Give yourself a small treat after every book you read or difficult problem you solve. 35 Over time,this may make it easier for you to stay focused when studying.

While if the floor carries__(harm)bacteria like Salmonella(沙门氏菌)，the food will make you sick.Still,cleaning floors often is the key to staying safe.
