I was having a picnic day with my sister. We both like to ride her motorcycle and that day we drove to the nearest park. We bought some coffee and cakes, and then we were enjoying our food. Within a few hours, the sky was changing and looked ready to drop a heavy rain. We packed everything and were ready to go. My sister, who was sitting on a bench, suddenly was very still and couldn’t talk to me. she didn’t move. Her eyes were rolling and she was about to lose consciousness(知觉). I held her in my arms and asked if she wanted to rest. She didn’t answer and only said “Sorry”. It started to rain and I didn’t know what to do. She was fighting to stay aware but her skin was pale and her eyes were acting strange. Suddenly, from nowhere, a woman on a bicycle appeared, wearing a raincoat. “She isn’t looking good. Do you want me to call an ambulance(救护车)?” “Yes, please, yes!” I begged. She did. Struggling with the rain, she managed to call some policemen, who quickly helped me carry my sister to a safer place. The ambulance arrived and we went to a hospital, where she was treated in time and she came to life in the morning after rest and medical help. An interesting fact was that I guessed the woman in the raincoat was a doctor or a nurse. I later learned from one of the police officers who told me: “No, she was an ordinary person who took some courses on emergency situations(紧急情況). I am so grateful that she appeared exactly at he right moment. I don’t know why or how. I didn’t even get the chance to say thanks to her. 1.What happened to the author and her sister? A.

When I was a boy, I was always happy to see those little brown coins. After years I was still very happy to pick up pennies on the ground, I usually saved them up. I usually bought a pack of gum or a bag of chips when it was enough. After growing up, I heard a story about coins. It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. People wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I never doubted that story even as an adult. It is difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. Maybe that is why I still enjoy seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are. A few months ago, I was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. As I entered the room, I saw not one, not two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. I smiled and picked them up. I kept them in my hands as I walked in the post office. “Four is Ok,” an office said to a lady. The lady began searching her purse. Her face went red. I understood what had happened. I laughed to myself at this surprising moment. I placed my pennies on the desk before her. The smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars. The coins weren’t so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. I just performed a little kindness. I was happy. 1.What might the author probably buy when he saved enough pennies? A. A set of storybooks B. A pack of chips C. A box of chocolates D. A bag of sugar 2.When grown up, the author . A. saw some careless women lost coins B. thought rich people threw coins on purpose C. still believed the story about coins D. found old people forget coins on the ground 3.What can we learn from this passage? A. Doing small acts of kindness is good B. Every coin should be used to buy important things C. We should look for coins when we are walking D. Pay more attention to what you hear from now on

Penguins (企鹅) live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbour’s ground, it must ask permission. If it does not do that, it will have to fight. Most of the time, penguins live on the water. They eat shellfish and look after their children carefully. All penguins are good parents — the male penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives in the dark.They can only hear them — not see them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males take care of the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls heavily and the wind blows strongly — sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters — the eggs. Male penguins never fight — unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. They then fight because they all want it.They are strange and wonderful birds. 1.It seems interesting and unusual that the male penguins choose their wives ________. A. when the female penguins return from the sea B. just by hearing in the darkness C. each time they see the lovely females D. after they have had their own grounds 2.From the passage we know that ________. A. penguins live a hard life B. penguins live in pairs C. penguins will fight if they walk through others’ ground without permission D. each penguin has a little piece of ground of his/her own 3.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can infer that ________. A. penguins like nights very much B. there is no daytime in that place at all C. the weather is cloudy and rainy all the year around D. the sun can’t shine there at that time

Forest Schools originated in Sweden in the 1950s and spread to other countries, particularly Denmark where they have become an important part of the Danish early years program. In a typical Danish Forest School, young children from 3 years are taken into the forest for 4 hours each day of the week. They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are childled and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at which they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, children’s independence and confidence grow. A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better coordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell. The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25% fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment. 1.What kind of activities do the Forest School children have? A. Activities usually played by braver kids. B. Activities which are designed for adults. C. Gradeimproving activities. D. Activities with fun and a certain level of danger. 2.The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because ________. A. they have more interesting things to do B. they are accompanied by adults C. they are not disturbed so often D. they are playing in small groups 3.What does the last paragraph intend to tell us? A. Why the Forest School children are healthier. B. The Forest School children have a healthy diet. C. What affects the city children. D. Why the Forest School children have less stress. 4.Which of the following best describes the Forest School children? A. Free and wild. B. Confident and happy. C. Polite and calm. D. Strong and adventurous.
