Mrs Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, Mrs Amatuli asked me if she could 36 my sandwiches. She explained that I could use the money to buy a 37 lunch from the cafeteria（自助餐厅）. I was 38. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was 39 expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to 40 again the next day. You can understand my 41 when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch. Kids always 42 about the cafeteria food but I was very 43 of them. When we 44 lunch that day, Mrs Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to 45 why she had bought my sandwiches. I really didn't care why, 46 it gave me a few minutes of her precious 47 so I was very quiet as she explained. You 48 , she was a Catholic(天主教徒) and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate 49 on Fridays. Oh, I couldn't 50 to get home and tell my Mom that from then on I wanted fish on Fridays. 51 my Mom understood why, she gladly fixed fish for me on Fridays. From then on, every Friday I could get in 52 with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about the cafeteria food—it 53 great to me! I realize now that Mrs Amatuli 54 have fixed herself a fish sandwich on Fridays. She bought my sandwiches because she saw a little girl who was pleased over the simple 55 of having a hot lunch.

If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause something each of us does daily to exist”． We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings．It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world．This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地）, as well as taste, when we plan a meal．Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss． A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things．There is nothing new under the sun. The creativity is remaking or recombining（重组） the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph． A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results．To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another． These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities．(257 words) 1.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
2.“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________．
3. What is the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
4.The best title for this passage is__________．

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game. Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again. Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too. Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea. If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.（291 words） 1.Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
2.We can learn from the passage______.
3.In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.
