B When I was in Grade Seven, I was the quietest student in my class. I had one friend, Lucy. She was much more outgoing than me. She talked to everyone and made jokes in class. I often wondered why she wanted to be my friend. One day, I asked her. She laughed and said, "Because you listen. When I talk, you really listen. That is the best thing a friend can do." That year, our teacher asked us to work in pairs on a project. Lucy and I chose to make a poster about friendship. We worked on it for two weeks. I wrote the words, and she drew the pictures. Our poster was not the most beautiful one, but it was the most honest one. On the last day, our teacher read our words to the class. "A friend is not someone who talks the most," she read. "A friend is someone who is there when you need them." Lucy looked at me and smiled. I knew she was thinking the same thing. ( ) 5. What was the writer like in Grade Seven? A. Outgoing. B. Quiet. C. Funny. D. Noisy. ( ) 6. Why did Lucy want to be the writer's friend? A. Because the writer was good at drawing. B. Because the writer really listened. C. Because they lived near each other. D. Because the writer was the cleverest. ( ) 7. What did the two girls do for the project? A. They wrote a song. B. They made a poster. C. They put on a play. D. They read a book. ( ) 8. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Quiet people cannot make friends. B. A good friend is someone who listens. C. Posters are easy to make. D. Teachers like outgoing students. C Learning a language is like learning to swim. You cannot learn it by only reading books. You have to get into the water. Many students in China study English for years but cannot speak it. Why? Because they are afraid of making mistakes. They think other people will laugh at them. But here is a fact: everyone makes mistakes when learning a language. Even the best speakers make mistakes. The difference is that good learners are not afraid of them. Here is another fact: you do not need a big vocabulary to start speaking. If you know 500 words, you can already have simple conversations. The more you speak, the more words you will learn. So what should you do? First, find someone to talk to — a classmate, a teacher or even yourself in the mirror. Second, talk about things you like. You will be happier and speak more. Third, do not stop to look up every word. Just keep talking. Remember: a person who speaks with mistakes is better than a person who says nothing. ( ) 9. What does the writer compare learning a language to? A. Reading books. B. Learning to swim. C. Making friends. D. Playing games. ( ) 10. Why do many Chinese students fail to speak English? A. They have no time. B. They are afraid of making mistakes. C. They do not like English. D. They have no teachers. ( ) 11. According to the passage, how many words do you need to start simple conversations? A. 100. B. 500. C. 1,000. D. 5,000. ( ) 12. What is the writer's advice? A. Stop talking when you make a mistake. B. Look up every new word at once. C. Keep talking and do not be afraid. D. Only talk with your teacher. D My father loves fixing things. Our neighbours call him "the man who can fix anything". Last month, Mrs Green next door threw away an old wooden chair. My father saw it and brought it home. "This chair is older than you," he said. "It should not be thrown away." We worked on it for a whole weekend. First, we cleaned it with a brush and some water. Then my father showed me how to fix the broken leg with glue and small pieces of wood. "Be careful," he said. "You had better not use too much glue." The chair was not beautiful when we finished. There was still a mark on the seat. But it was strong. I sat on it, and it did not move. On Monday, we gave it back to Mrs Green. She was surprised and very happy. "I bought this chair thirty years ago," she said. "It was my mother's." Now she uses it every day. My father says the best things in life are not always new. ( ) 13. What do the neighbours call the writer's father? A. The man who can fix anything. B. The best carpenter. C. The oldest man in the street. D. The man with many chairs. ( ) 14. How long did they work on the chair? A. A whole weekend. B. Two weeks. C. One afternoon. D. A month. ( ) 15. What did Mrs Green say about the chair? A. She bought it last year. B. It was her mother's chair. C. She wanted a new one. D. It was too old to use. ( ) 16. What can we learn from the story? A. Old things can be given a new life. B. Fixing things is always easy. C. New chairs are better than old ones. D. Neighbours should not share things. E Schools around the world are different, and so are school days. In China, most students get to school before 7:30 a.m. They have eight lessons a day and a lot of homework. Many students stay at school until 5 p.m. In Australia, school starts at 8:45 a.m. and finishes at 3:00 p.m. Students have fewer lessons, but each lesson is longer. They have more time for sports and clubs after school. In Finland, students start school at 9:00 a.m. They have only four or five lessons a day, and very little homework. Teachers say children need more time to play and rest. Which system is the best? It is hard to say. Chinese students learn more facts, while Australian and Finnish students may have more free time. But one thing is the same everywhere. Every country wants its children to learn well and grow up happily. The question is how to do both at the same time. ( ) 17. When do most Chinese students get to school? A. Before 7:30 a.m. B. At 8:45 a.m. C. At 9:00 a.m. D. After 9:00 a.m. ( ) 18. What is special about lessons in Australia? A. They are shorter. B. They are longer but fewer. C. They start at 9 a.m. D. There is no homework. ( ) 19. Why do Finnish students have little homework? A. Their teachers are lazy. B. They have no textbooks. C. Teachers think children need time to play and rest. D. They go to school only three days a week. ( ) 20. What does the writer think? A. Chinese schools are the best. B. Australian schools are the best. C. Each system has good points. D. School days should be shorter everywhere. F Dear Lucy, Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear that you have made a new friend. You asked me about my best friend. Her name is Amy. We have known each other since Grade Six. Amy is taller than me and much more outgoing. She loves sports, and she is the fastest runner in our class. I am quieter, and I prefer reading. Some people wonder how we became friends, because we are so different. But I think our differences make our friendship stronger. She teaches me to play badminton, and I help her with her English. When I am sad, she makes me laugh. When she is worried about a test, I listen to her. Last month, we had an argument about a small thing. We did not talk for two days. Then she came to my home with my favourite book and said sorry. I felt silly, because I wanted to say sorry too. I think a true friend is someone who comes back after an argument. Yours, Li Hua ( ) 21. How long have Li Hua and Amy known each other? A. Since Grade Six. B. Since last year. C. For two months. D. Since primary school. ( ) 22. How are the two friends different? A. Amy is quieter and likes reading. B. Li Hua is more outgoing and likes sports. C. Amy is more outgoing and loves sports. D. They have the same hobbies. ( ) 23. What happened last month? A. They went on a trip together. B.

Someone who comes back after an argument. C. Someone who is the same as you. D. Someone who helps you with homework only. G Last summer, I spent two weeks at my uncle's home in the countryside. It was the most unusual holiday of my life. There was no Internet in his house, and my phone had no signal. At first, I did not know what to do. I felt bored and even a little angry. "Come and help me in the garden," my uncle said. We planted vegetables and fixed an old fence. It was harder than I expected. My hands were dirty, and my back hurt. But at the end of the day, I looked at the garden and felt proud. In the evenings, we sat outside and talked. My uncle told me stories about his childhood. He could not use a phone, but he knew the name of every tree and bird. By the end of the second week, I did not want to go home. I had learnt to live without my phone, and I found that the world was much bigger than the screen. This year, I am going back. I have already made a list of things to do. ( ) 25. How did the writer feel at first in the countryside? A. Excited. B. Bored and angry. C. Happy and relaxed. D. Afraid. ( ) 26. What did the writer do with his uncle? A. They played computer games. B. They planted vegetables and fixed a fence. C. They went fishing every day. D. They visited a museum. ( ) 27. Why did the writer feel proud? A. He learnt to use a phone. B. He finished his homework. C. He worked hard and made the garden better. D. He caught a bird. ( ) 28. What did the writer learn from the holiday? A. Life without a phone can be rich and interesting. B. Countryside life is too hard. C. Phones are not useful at all. D. Children should not go to the countryside. H Do you know how to study better? Scientists have some answers. Sleep is important. If you do not sleep well, you will not remember what you learnt. Students who sleep eight hours do better in tests than those who sleep only five. Test yourself. Reading your notes again and again is not the best way. Close the book and try to write down what you remember. This is harder, but it works much better. Study in short blocks. Your brain cannot work well for three hours without a break. Study for 25 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes. This is called the Pomodoro method. Teach someone else. When you explain something to a friend, you find out what you do not really understand. Teaching is one of the best ways of learning. Do not study in bed. Your brain connects the bed with sleep. If you study there, you may feel sleepy and learn nothing. ( ) 29. According to the passage, what happens if you do not sleep well? A. You will grow taller. B. You will not remember what you learnt. C. You will study faster. D. You will feel hungry. ( ) 30. What is a better way to remember things? A. Reading notes again and again. B. Closing the book and writing what you remember. C. Studying for three hours without a break. D. Studying in bed. ( ) 31. What is the Pomodoro method? A. Studying for 25 minutes and resting for 5. B. Studying for 5 minutes and resting for 25. C. Studying all night before a test. D. Studying with music on. ( ) 32. Why is teaching others a good way to learn? A. It saves time. B. It shows what you do not really understand. C. It makes you popular. D. It helps you sleep better. I Last Saturday, our class had a DIY competition. Every student had to make something useful from old things. I decided to make a small desk lamp with an old glass bottle. I watched three videos and thought it would be easy. I was wrong. First, I tried to cut the bottle, but the cut was not straight. Then I could not fix the wire. After an hour, the bottle broke into pieces. I felt very unhappy and wanted to give up. My classmate Tom came over. "Do not worry," he said. "You can try again. I have some more bottles at home." We worked together after school for three days. Tom was more careful than me, and he showed me how to cut the glass slowly. On the fourth day, the lamp worked! It was not as beautiful as the ones in the shop, but the light was warm. In the competition, I did not win. But the lamp now stands on my desk, and I use it every evening. Every time I turn it on, I remember the lesson: failing is not the end. ( ) 33. What was the competition about? A. Making something useful from old things. B. Writing a story about DIY. C. Cooking a meal. D. Drawing a picture. ( ) 34. What happened to the writer's bottle? A. It was stolen. B. It broke into pieces. C. It was given to Tom. D. It became a lamp at once. ( ) 35. What did Tom do to help? A. He bought a new lamp. B. He gave the writer some bottles and worked with him. C. He did the whole job himself. D. He told the teacher. ( ) 36. What did the writer learn? A. Failing is not the end. B. DIY is too hard for students. C. Competitions are not important. D. Glass is dangerous. J Notice: School Uniform Rules Dear students, From this term, we have some new rules about school uniforms. 1. Students must wear the school uniform from Monday to Thursday.
