This morning, our school holds a fire drill(演练). We were listening the teacher attentively in the math class after we heard the fire alarm from the speaker on the wall. The teacher stopped teach immediately and organized us to exit the classroom quickly. When we got into the passageway, we found us surrounded by smoke. It was chocking but our tears ran down. We students bent down, covered our mouth with handkerchiefs, and running downstairs rapidly into the open on the playground, just as we had been taught ago. Fire disasters are often seeing on TV and read about in the newspaper. We should know the skill to escape from the fire in case of emergency.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. 1. . You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. 2. .
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. 3. . Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. 4. . Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
5. . But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
A. What’s right for me?
B. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
C. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime.
D. The best way to make friends is to be a friend.
E. Offer to share something or offer greetings.
F. Make a choice in your life.
G. You might still miss that special best friend.
You may have seen a lot of frogs, but if you haven't, you must have heard about frogs. However, have you heard about a frog that can kill a person?
These small brightly colored amphibians (两栖动物) live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. They are best known for their ability to kill persons even though they are no more than 2 inches long. If we touch their poisonous skin without proper protection (such as gloves), we may die! For animals of this size that can be so deadly, they are certainly one of the world's most poisonous animals! Who are they? They are poison arrow frogs or, simply, poison frogs.
Poison frogs acquired their name from the Indians. The Indians catch and kill many of these frogs before hanging them upside down over a campfire. As the frogs get hot, the poison drips out of their skin. The Indians collect the poisonous liquid in a bottle and dip(蘸) the tips of their arrows into the bottle. Once the tips are dried, they are ready to be used for their arrows for hunting.
There are about 170 different types of poison arrow frogs in the world. Though most species have bright markings, either in stripes or patches, on their black bodies, some just wear noticeable single-colored coats. Their shocking skin colors-usually in yellow, red, green, blue or orange-serve as a warning sign to other animals. The sign simply says,” Stay away or pay with your life!” They certainly do not bluff.
1.We can infer that the Indians may kill poison frogs in order to______.
A. treat diseases B. avoid being bitten
C. hunt animals D. eat their meat
2.According to the passage, poison frogs______.
A can grow to several meters long
B. like to change colors on the back
C. have bright-colored skin or markings
D. are on the edge of dying out
3.Which of the following best explains the last sentence of the passage?
A. Poison frogs don't want to kill others.
B. Poison frogs do not just scare others.
C. Poison frogs want to stop others from coming near.
D. Poison frogs just pretend to be dangerous animals.
Like lots of small-business owners, Lola Gonzalez had to decide to cut down her company’s nine-person staff (员工) when the economic recovery began to fail last spring. Unlike other companies, she picked an unlikely employee to lay off (解雇): herself.
Her business began to have problems in 2008 after going through her books (账簿)
One day, her husband, Marcos, told her she had to reduce her payroll（薪金总额）by one person. Gonzalez said at a meeting, “I want you all to know that I have to lay somebody off and it’s been a very difficult decision. And that person is me.” Employees first froze in amazement and then burst into laughter until they realized she was serious. Gonzalez ’s employees said they were grateful for her kindness.
Her reason was simple. Although she ran the business and her employees did the legwork (跑腿), she thought she could find work more easily than her staff. Sure enough, she soon got a job as a social worker for a non-profit organization called Devereux Kids. She enjoys her social-worker job now, but the salary (薪水) cut has required some lifestyle changes. She and Marcos no longer eat out daily; they no longer pay for their son’s car and mobile phone, and they changed their car to a smaller one to save $300 a month.
Her business has picked up a bit recently and Marcos has begun to work part-time at Gonzalez’s company. Gonzalez says she has no plan to return to work at her company until the economic situation becomes better, perhaps in a year. Her employees, however, will get Christmas bonuses (奖金) this year.
1.How many workers are there in Gonzalez’s company at present?
A. 8. B. 9. C. 10. D. 11.
2.How did her employees feel at first when they heard Gonzalez’s decision?
A. Happy. B. Grateful.
C. Surprised. D. Unbelievable.
3. After leaving her company, _____________.
A. Gonzalez sold her car and went to work by bus
B. Gonzalez always had meals in a restaurant
C. Gonzalez’s son helped her a lot
D. Gonzalez changed her lifestyle a lot
4. From the text, we can learn that ___________.
A. Gonzalez will not return to her company in future
B. Gonzalez’s business has improved a little lately
C. Gonzalez got her social-worker job with great difficulty
D. Marcos lost his job and had to work at Gonzalez’s company
