He had let his whole team down. His stupid 3 made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really 4 that his coach might kick him off the team. As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s 5 were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another 6 . Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. “Look, Peter. I don’t know 7 happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.” “I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll 8 never let me play again”. “Soccer is about team 9 . You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should 10 each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game.

Guido often tells his son Giosuè, “Life is a 2 ! If you smile and play fair, you’ll always win!” When World War II begins, they are made to head to a concentration camp. Guido knows the camp is dangerous, 3 he wants to protect his son’s innocence. He invents a clever story to explain the situation to his son, “This is all part of a big game, Giosuè! The winner’s prize is a REAL tank.” He 4 makes up rules for the “game”. Getting points: Giosuè gets points for hiding quietly, 5 the guards, and not crying for candy. Losing points: If the guards see him or if he complains about hunger, he loses points. The big prize: If they earn 1,000 points, they win a tank. In the camp, the prisoners work all day and are really tired. But Guido pretends his tiredness is part of the game. Guido says to his son, “Look how many points we got today!” He also tells him imaginative stories about 6 “progress” in the game. He describes how 7 they are to winning the tank, making Giosuè’s eyes shine with 8 . As the war nears its end, Guido hides Giosuè inside a small metal box. 9 , a soldier catches Guido. When walking away, he passes Giosuè’s hiding box. Knowing his son is watching, Guido throws his leg high in the air like a silly and funny duck and winks at Giosuè. It is his final act of love in life—making his son happy one last time.

However, Wen didn’t 4 . She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger. Days passed quickly. The lessons were 5 planned. The children were kind.

Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes (属性), and each year is represented by a 1 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 2 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born. However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) wanted to 3 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 4 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 5 . The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it and said his son could be fifth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 6 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 7 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig. Some people wonder 8 the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t 9 the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 10 in our daily lives. The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about. 1．A．clever B．similar C．different D．strong 2．A．or B．so C．while D．after 3．A．raise B．choose C．catch D．hunt 4．A．swimming B．climbing C．jumping D．jogging 5．A．us B．it C．him D．them 6．A．fifth B．sixth C．seventh D．tenth 7．A．wise B．equal C．similar D．modest 8．A．if B．why C．whether D．that 9．A．reach B．thank C．catch D．notice 10．A．runners B．friends C．players D．enemies 【答案】 1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 6．B 7．D 8．B 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国十二生肖的起源传说，包括玉帝举办游泳比赛选拔十二生肖的过程，以及猫未入选生肖且与老鼠成为天敌的原因。 1．句意：每个生肖动物都有自己的特征和属性，每一年都由一个不同的动物代表。 clever聪明的；similar相似的；different不同的；strong强壮的。根据文章“Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs (生肖), each one represented by an animal?”可知，十二生肖是十二种不同的动物，每年对应一种不同的动物，故选C。 2．句意：例如，1990年是马年，而2010年是虎年。 or或者；so所以；while然而，而；after在……之后。此处是对比1990年和2010年的生肖，用while表示对比，故选C。 3．句意：很久以前，玉皇大帝想要挑选十二种动物作为他的守卫。 raise饲养；choose选择；catch抓住；hunt狩猎。根据文章“the Jade Emperor wanted to…twelve animals to be his guards”可知，玉帝的目的是挑选动物当守卫，故选B。 4．句意：所以，地球上所有的动物都被命令参加一场游泳比赛。 swimming游泳；climbing攀爬；jumping跳跃；jogging慢跑。根据文章“The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race”可知，是游泳比赛，故选A。 5．句意：前十二名游过湍急河流的动物将成为比赛的获胜者，因此将有一个专门为它们设立的生肖年。 us我们；it它；him他；them它们。根据文章“twelve animals…would have a year…given to…”可知，此处指代前面的“the first twelve animals”，用them，故选D。 6．句意：紧接着，蛇说龙是它的养父，所以它排第六。 fifth第五；sixth第六；seventh第七；tenth第十。根据前文“Dragon...could be fifth”可知，龙是第五，蛇在龙之后，所以是第六，故选B。 7．句意：然后，因为马和羊都很谦逊，对彼此很友善，它们让彼此先走，所以它们分别排第七和第八。 wise明智的；equal平等的；similar相似的；modest谦逊的。根据文章“they let each other go first”可知，它们很谦逊，故选D。 8．句意：有些人想知道为什么猫不是十二生肖之一。 if如果；why为什么；whether是否；that那个。根据后文对猫未入选原因的解释，可知是问为什么，故选B。 9．句意：很多人认为猫和老鼠一起跳上牛背过河，但老鼠把它推到水里，所以它被冲走了，没能及时到达玉帝那里获得排名。 reach到达；thank感谢；catch抓住；notice注意到。根据文章“didn’t…the Emperor in time”可知，是要到达玉帝那里，故选A。 10．句意：难怪猫和老鼠在我们的日常生活中总是敌人。 runners跑步者；friends朋友；players玩家；enemies敌人。根据前文老鼠把猫推下水导致猫没入选生肖的故事，可知它们是敌人，故选D。 Last year in early summer, I was walking up the hill to my house when I saw two birds, each about 60 centimetres tall, standing on the path. They didn’t seem to 1 me until I was right in front of them and then they at once moved quickly into the bushes. I was quite excited by the idea of two birds making a nest (巢) in my front yard, 2 I didn’t really expect them to because wild birds don’t usually nest so close. A few weeks later, the birds 3 again. I found them crouching beside a tree off to the side of the path. As I moved nearer to them, I 4 that they would run away like they did last time. But instead they stuck out their heads and made a threatening (威胁的) croaking (呱呱叫) sound. It seemed to 5 me not to go any nearer. I didn’t know why they were croaking at me until a short time later I made an amazing discovery: they had two small baby birds. As I moved quietly towards the birds, 6 not to make any sudden movements, they started their croaking again. They straightened their necks forward so they seemed 7 and more threatening. The mother carefully crouched down over the chicks, and 8 her babies well in her feathers. I was watching them with 9 when I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

I do. Her name is Mrs. White. And I remember I thought she must be a sister of Snow White because she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair and fair skin 1 Snow White. I don’t remember much about what I learned in her class. My mother once told me that I used to 2 a lot. I would bring back what I wrote and she would read it. There are so many 3 but no red corrections and always a star. Sometimes even a “Good” would make my heart full of happiness. One day, my mother went to meet Mrs. White for one of the parent-teacher activities. Then she asked Mrs. White why she never corrected my spelling or pointed out grammatical mistakes. “The children just 4 to get excited about using words and making sentences. I don’t want my students to lose 5 because of red crosses. Spelling and 6 can wait, but the wonder of words won’t...” Mrs. White said. I remember that the time I spent learning in kindergarten was very happy for me. As I grow up, I 7 want to know many things and love my life. I look back now and think Mrs. White must be such a(n) 8 teacher that she used as few red crosses as possible. I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot, and could never remember that the “e” goes before the “a”. It made my teacher in high school angry. She asked me to use “pretty” instead when I was writing. I didn’t listen to her. In my eyes, “pretty” is easier to spell, 9 it doesn’t hold as much meaning as I mean sometimes. Thanks to Mrs. White, I have never 10 writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it. I believe life may not be pretty, but it should be meaningful. 1．A．on B．of C．as D．by 2．A．draw B．sing C．write D．dance 3．A．skills B．mistakes C．pictures D．excuses 4．A．planned B．stopped C．remembered D．began 5．A．interest B．health C．patience D．exercise 6．A．speed B．grammar C．business D．pronunciation 7．A．still B．only C．soon D．already 8．A．young B．strict C．careless D．unusual 9．A．and B．or C．but D．so 10．A．thought about B．worried about C．talked about D．heard about 【答案】 1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 6．B 7．A 8．D 9．C 10．B 【导语】本文回忆了幼儿园老师怀特老师鼓励学生自由表达、保护学习兴趣的教育方式，对比了高中老师对拼写的严格要求，强调了教育中保护兴趣的重要性。 1．句意：而且我记得我以为她一定是白雪公主的姐妹，因为她有着同样明亮的蓝眼睛、黑色的短发和像白雪公主一样白皙的皮肤。 on在……上；of……的；as像；by通过。根据“she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair and fair skin”可知，此处指与白雪公主一样的蓝眼睛、黑短发和白皮肤。the same…as“和……一样的……”。故选C。 2．句意：我妈妈曾经告诉我，我过去经常写作。 draw画画；sing唱歌；write写作；dance跳舞。根据“I would bring back what I wrote”可知，此处指经常写作。故选C。 3．句意：里面有很多错误但没有红色修正，且总是有一颗星星。 skills技能；mistakes错误；pictures图片；excuses借口。根据“but no red corrections”和“Then she asked Mrs. White why she never corrected my spelling or pointed out grammatical mistakes.”可知，此处指作者写的东西里有很多没被修正的错误。故选B。 4．句意：“孩子们开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。我不希望我的学生因为红色的叉而失去兴趣。拼写和语法可以等等，但文字的奇迹不会……”怀特老师说。 planned计划；stopped停止；remembered记得；began开始。根据“get excited about using words and making sentences.”和“because of red crosses”可知，老师不想学生在刚开始对写字感到兴奋时，就因为错误而失去兴趣。故选D。 5．句意：“孩子们开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。我不希望我的学生因为红色的叉而失去兴趣。拼写和语法可以等等，但文字的奇迹不会……”怀特老师说。 interest兴趣；health健康；patience耐心；exercise锻炼。根据“get excited about using words and making sentences.”和“because of red crosses”可知，此处指刚开始学习一件事情会因为总被挑错而失去兴趣。故选A。 6．句意：“孩子们开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。我不希望我的学生因为红色的叉而失去兴趣。拼写和语法可以等等，但文字的奇迹不会……”怀特老师说。 speed速度；grammar语法；business商业；pronunciation发音。根据“Then she asked Mrs. White why she never corrected my spelling or pointed out grammatical mistakes.”可知，老师没有修改作者的拼写和语法错误是因为拼写和语法可以等一段时间再纠正。故选B。 7．句意：当我长大后，我仍然想知道很多事情并热爱我的生活。 still仍然；only仅仅；soon很快；already已经。根据“want to know many things and love my life”可知，长大后，作者依然保持着强烈的好奇心和对生活的热爱，此处强调持续状态，用still。故选A。 8．句意：现在回想起来，我想怀特老师一定是一位不寻常的老师，她尽可能少地使用红色的叉。 young年轻的；strict严格的；careless粗心的；unusual不寻常的。根据“she used as few red crosses as possible”可知，怀特老师的教育方式很特殊，她很少用红叉，说明她是位不寻常的老师。故选D。 9．句意：在我看来，“pretty”更容易拼写，但有时它并没有我想表达的那么多意思。 and和；or或者；but但是；so所以。前后句为转折关系，虽然拼写简单，但表达不出自己的意思。故选C。 10．句意：多亏了怀特老师，即使我不太会拼写，我也从不担心写不出我想表达的意思。 thought about思考；worried about担心；talked about谈论；heard about听说。根据“even if I couldn’t quite spell it”可知，前后句为让步关系，尽管自己拼写不行，但也不会担心表达不出想表达的意思。故选B。 Tom was a 15-year-old boy who always felt nervous about speaking in public.

Guido often tells his son Giosuè, “Life is a 2 ! If you smile and play fair, you’ll always win!” When World War II begins, they are made to head to a concentration camp. Guido knows the camp is dangerous, 3 he wants to protect his son’s innocence. He invents a clever story to explain the situation to his son, “This is all part of a big game, Giosuè! The winner’s prize is a REAL tank.” He 4 makes up rules for the “game”. Getting points: Giosuè gets points for hiding quietly, 5 the guards, and not crying for candy. Losing points: If the guards see him or if he complains about hunger, he loses points. The big prize: If they earn 1,000 points, they win a tank. In the camp, the prisoners work all day and are really tired. But Guido pretends his tiredness is part of the game. Guido says to his son, “Look how many points we got today!” He also tells him imaginative stories about 6 “progress” in the game. He describes how 7 they are to winning the tank, making Giosuè’s eyes shine with 8 . As the war nears its end, Guido hides Giosuè inside a small metal box. 9 , a soldier catches Guido.

With a heavy bag on my back, I was excited to teach at a small school here, but a little 1 . What would these students be like? The school had only 18 students. Most were quiet, 2 they ran and laughed at break. One girl, Wen, always sat alone in the corner, seldom saying anything.

So he went to Mr. Smith, a gemologist (玉石专家) to learn from him. Mr. Smith refused because he feared that the young man would not have the 1 to learn. The young man asked for a chance again and again. 2 Mr. Smith agreed and told him, “Be here tomorrow.” The next morning the young man came. Mr. Smith put a jade stone in the young man’s hand and told him to 3 it. He then went about his work. The young man sat quietly and waited.

Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes (属性), and each year is represented by a 1 animal. For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 2 2010 was the year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person’s success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born. However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) wanted to 3 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 4 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 5 . The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor’s feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it and said his son could be fifth. Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 6 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 7 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth. The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig. Some people wonder 8 the cat isn’t one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox’s back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn’t 9 the Emperor in time to get a ranking. No wonder cats and rats are always 10 in our daily lives. The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it’s made up, it’s definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about. 1．A．clever B．similar C．different D．strong 2．A．or B．so C．while D．after 3．A．raise B．choose C．catch D．hunt 4．A．swimming B．climbing C．jumping D．jogging 5．A．us B．it C．him D．them 6．A．fifth B．sixth C．seventh D．tenth 7．A．wise B．equal C．similar D．modest 8．A．if B．why C．whether D．that 9．A．reach B．thank C．catch D．notice 10．A．runners B．friends C．players D．enemies Last year in early summer, I was walking up the hill to my house when I saw two birds, each about 60 centimetres tall, standing on the path. They didn’t seem to 1 me until I was right in front of them and then they at once moved quickly into the bushes. I was quite excited by the idea of two birds making a nest (巢) in my front yard, 2 I didn’t really expect them to because wild birds don’t usually nest so close. A few weeks later, the birds 3 again. I found them crouching beside a tree off to the side of the path. As I moved nearer to them, I 4 that they would run away like they did last time. But instead they stuck out their heads and made a threatening (威胁的) croaking (呱呱叫) sound. It seemed to 5 me not to go any nearer. I didn’t know why they were croaking at me until a short time later I made an amazing discovery: they had two small baby birds. As I moved quietly towards the birds, 6 not to make any sudden movements, they started their croaking again. They straightened their necks forward so they seemed 7 and more threatening. The mother carefully crouched down over the chicks, and 8 her babies well in her feathers. I was watching them with 9 when I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. The birds took this as a threat and the father raced towards me, spreading his wings to protect the mother and the chicks while making himself appear larger. I was 10 to have surprised them and left quickly. I was amazed by their fearless actions. Their parental natural ability kicked in and made them so courageous.

I do. Her name is Mrs. White. And I remember I thought she must be a sister of Snow White because she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair and fair skin 1 Snow White. I don’t remember much about what I learned in her class. My mother once told me that I used to 2 a lot. I would bring back what I wrote and she would read it. There are so many 3 but no red corrections and always a star. Sometimes even a “Good” would make my heart full of happiness. One day, my mother went to meet Mrs. White for one of the parent-teacher activities. Then she asked Mrs. White why she never corrected my spelling or pointed out grammatical mistakes. “The children just 4 to get excited about using words and making sentences. I don’t want my students to lose 5 because of red crosses. Spelling and 6 can wait, but the wonder of words won’t...” Mrs. White said. I remember that the time I spent learning in kindergarten was very happy for me. As I grow up, I 7 want to know many things and love my life. I look back now and think Mrs. White must be such a(n) 8 teacher that she used as few red crosses as possible. I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot, and could never remember that the “e” goes before the “a”. It made my teacher in high school angry. She asked me to use “pretty” instead when I was writing. I didn’t listen to her. In my eyes, “pretty” is easier to spell, 9 it doesn’t hold as much meaning as I mean sometimes. Thanks to Mrs. White, I have never 10 writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it. I believe life may not be pretty, but it should be meaningful. 1．A．on B．of C．as D．by 2．A．draw B．sing C．write D．dance 3．A．skills B．mistakes C．pictures D．excuses 4．A．planned B．stopped C．remembered D．began 5．A．interest B．health C．patience D．exercise 6．A．speed B．grammar C．business D．pronunciation 7．A．still B．only C．soon D．already 8．A．young B．strict C．careless D．unusual 9．A．and B．or C．but D．so 10．A．thought about B．worried about C．talked about D．heard about Tom was a 15-year-old boy who always felt nervous about speaking in public. Every time his teacher asked him to answer questions, his hands would shake and he could 1 say a word. This made him feel lonely and even afraid to join class activities. One day, his English teacher, Ms Li, noticed his trouble. She 2 Tom to join the school drama club. At first, Tom was 3 — he thought he would make mistakes on stage. But Ms Li encouraged him, “Everyone starts with small steps. You just need to try.” Tom decided to give it a try. In the club, he practiced lines with his teammates every lunch break. When he forgot his lines, they never laughed at him — instead, they helped him 4 again and again. Slowly, Tom became more confident. He even played a small role in the club’s first play. On the day of the performance, Tom was still a little nervous. But when he saw his teammates smiling at him from backstage, he took a deep breath and started speaking. To his 5 , he didn’t forget any lines and spoke clearly. After the play, the audience clapped loudly. This experience changed Tom. Now, he is no longer afraid of speaking in public. He even volunteers to give short speeches in class. Tom learned that a 6 is not scary — what matters is having the courage to try. And with the help of friends, nothing is impossible. With his teammates’ 7 , he finished the speech successfully. Now, Tom even volunteers to lead group discussions. He tells his classmates, “It takes time to face your fears, but once you do, you’ll surprise yourself.” He also learns to 8 the balance between drama club and study — he finishes homework first, then goes to practise. His grades don’t drop; instead, they 9 because he’s more focused in class. Tom’s story shows that a small push and a little courage can turn a weakness into a strength. And the most valuable 10 he got is: don’t let fear stop you from trying new things. 1．A．nearly B．hardly C．mostly D．partly 2．A．advised B．discovered C．agreed D．mentioned 3．A．excited B．nervous C．bored D．angry 4．A．practise B．reply C．imagine D．record 5．A．sadness B．worry C．surprise D．fear 6．A．success B．miss C．pressure D．challenge 7．A．support B．doubt C．progress D．patience 8．A．lose B．break C．keep D．waste 9．A．drop B．improve C．stay D．fail 10．A．lesson B．problem C．mistake D．gift Anti-Bullying Day is a special day. We can 1 bullying. Its date is different in different countries. In many places, it’s on 4 May. Many children join in activities on that day at school and online, to learn about what bullying 2 and what we can do if we see it happening. What’s bullying? Often bullying happens when one person has more power than the other person—perhaps they’re 3 or older, or they have more friends. When someone uses their power to 4 another person, especially more than once, that’s bullying. Bullying can be with 5 . For example, say unkind things to someone. Or it can be physical, like hitting someone or taking their things. 6 can we stand up against bullying? If someone is bullying you, you must tell them to stop. Try to look confident, even if you feel 7 . Tell a friend, your teachers or your parents what’s happening and ask them for 8 . If you see someone else being bullied, never join in the bullying or 9 it. That will make it worse. 10 , support the person who is being bullied. Tell a trusted adult about the bullying, or even call the police.

A grand military parade will be held on September 3 in Beijing. According to the press conference 1 on August 20, all the preparations for the parade have been nearly 2 . The parade will be carried out in two parts: the review session and the march-past session, 3 about 70 minutes. In the march-past session, units will pass through Tiananmen Square 4 the order of the air flag guard echelon (梯队), foot formations, battle flag formations, equipment formations, and air echelons. The foot formations 5 “old and new” features. The “old” refers to the formations of veteran anti-Japanese war units, whose personnel are mainly selected from units whose predecessors (前身) were the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, etc. The “new” represents the 6 layout (布局) of military forces, including the integrated armed forces system. Remarkably, a large number of weapons and equipment 7 will be domestic (国内的) new active-duty main battle equipment. Many of them, 8 some land, sea, and air-based strategic (战略性的) weapons, hypersonic (高超音速的) weapons, will make their official debuts. They can fully display the People’s Liberation Army’s 9 to safeguard national security and world peace. In addition, scientific methods were adopted in the training of parade participants (参与者).

I’d saved all my 1 to buy one. I was going to eat it all up by myself, for the seeds. At the store I searched 2 , looking for my dream watermelon. There it was. After paying, I rolled (滚动) it out of the door, then along the sidewalk until home. “Lucy! What are you doing with that watermelon?” Mom asked in 3 . “I saved up my money for it. I’m going to eat it all by myself.” Mom frowned, and warned, “You’ll get 4 .” “Please,” I begged, I’ve saved all my money for it.” Mom thought for a while, then smiled meaningfully as if she knew something. She asked me to roll my watermelon out in the yard. My sister followed her. “Oh, watermelon,” she cried with 5 “I want some.” “Sorry,” I told her, “I’m going to eat it all by myself.” “Mom!” she cried, very upset. “Your sister saved her money for it. She 6 what to do with it.” My brother came out next, “Watermelon! Can I have some?” “No way,” I refused at once. My father saw it. “Oh, watermelon!” he said. “Don’t even ask,” said my brother. “She won’t 7 ,” my sister added. Mom cut the watermelon into eight pieces. I took a bite at my first piece. Red juice ran down my chin (下巴). The four of them stood together around the picnic table, watching me eat piece by piece. My hands felt sticky. My stomach started to feel full, but I just couldn’t stop. Looking up at my family, they were all looking at me silently. Suddenly my joy died. 8 , I felt a little shy. “Go ahead,” I 9 in a low voice, “have a piece.” Mom smiled. I guessed she knew all along that I’d do so. For a second, they didn’t 10 . Then, they rushed to the picnic table, each grabbing (抓住) a piece of watermelon. Now my whole family had watermelon- red chins, sticky hands, and black seeds piled in front of us.

Those two minutes turned into two hours, with no 4 at all. As we were ready to give up, my little sister Indi and brother Tex showed up. “How come you have a large trunk?” asked Tex. “It looks like an upside-down boat!” said Indi. “Can we turn it over and pretend (假装) we are 5 in the sea?” “Sure,” Ollie replied. “It’s no good for anything else.” When Tex and Indi were jumping up and down on the “boat”, a screw (螺丝钉) fell onto the floor. “That’s it!” said Ollie. “Instead of unlocking the trunk, we can remove (移除) the screws to 6 it!” After two minutes, we were looking inside that trunk and found a number of shoes. As you can imagine, we were pretty disappointed (失望的). But here’s the good 7 . Those shoes were in such great condition that most of them 8 up going to the charity sale.

After this test, there will be another exam which will happen next week. Finishing this test will 2 the result of the next exam.” Together, the two students started the race. Just after a while, they found two paths in front of them. One seemed 3 and easy to go through. The first student made up his mind to take this path. The other was filled with a lot of fallen trees. The second student 4 to follow this path. The first student passed that road easily and finished first. “I am glad I took the easier path,” the first student said proudly, and he felt 5 about himself. Of course, the second student had to try his best. It took him much longer to finish because he had to pass through many 6 on the path. However, when the second student arrived, he was very happy. There were many difficulties on the path, 7 he still took it and he was able to finish the race finally. For the next exam, the two students were asked to be near a ravine (深谷). The teacher looked at them and said, “You have to jump to the other side of this ravine.” The first student was so 8 and went back because he never did that before. However, the second student   9 the path of his last test and how he jumped wide gaps (豁口) here. He jumped into the air and made it! After the exam, the teacher said to the first student, “When you 10 the easier path last week, it could only help you finish that test easily. However, you were not ready for the harder exam.” 1．A．end B．back C．start D．surface 2．A．show B．advise C．praise D．influence 3．A．clear B．exciting C．unusual D．pleasant 4．A．used B．failed C．refused D．decided 5．A．clever B．lonely C．suitable D．impatient 6．A．chances B．choices C．challenges D．competitions 7．A．so B．or C．but D．and 8．A．curious B．afraid C．relaxed D．interested 9．A．recorded B．repeated C．respected D．remembered 10．A．led B．chose C．suggested D．discovered I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given by my mother when I was six years old.

There is a real place called Carpi in Italy, but it is a small town in the 4 of the country. The couple followed the GPS directions. Although they were traveling to an island, it didn’t 5 them that they didn’t even cross a bridge or see the sea. When they arrived in Carpi, they went to the tourist office. They asked 6 they could go to the Blue Grotto, a well-known sea cave in Capri. Of course, the office worker there couldn’t 7 them. He thought they wanted to go to a 8 called the Blue Grotto for dinner. When the man realized that the couple thought they were in Capri, he 9 their mistake.
