How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains(痛苦), and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(责任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society(社会) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position(地位) in society.
1.What is the happiest person according to the passage?
A．A child who can do whatever he likes.
B．An old person who lives in a comfortable life.
C．A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him.
D．A person who never wastes his time in his whole life.
2.Which of the following is true, according to the second paragraph?
A．Life for a child is fairly easy.
B．A child is always loved whatever he does.
C．If much is given to a child, he must do something in return.
D．Only children are interested in life.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains.
B．Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.
C．Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life.
D．One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
4.What will the fourth paragraph most probably discuss following this passage?
A．Examples of successful young men.
B．How to build up one’s position in society.
C．Joys and pains of old people.
D．What to do when one has problems in life.
It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot(点) on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.
Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.
1.The writer of the passage thinks that _____ there is a blind spot on the eye.
A．few people know B．no one knows C．most people know D．all the people know
2.In which order should you do the experiment?
①Hold the card ②Move the card nearer ③Close your right eye
④Write two English letters ⑤Look at the letter R ⑥Make a card
A．④⑥①②③⑤ B．①③⑥④⑤② C．⑥①④③②⑤ D．⑥④①③⑤②
3.The passage mainly tells us _______.
A．how to find the blind spot B．an interesting experiment
C．where the blind spot is D．there is blind spot on the eye
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother，“Only a miracle （奇迹）can save him now，”the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand. “And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He’s really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We don’t sell a miracle here，child. I’m sorry，”the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen，if it isn’t enough，I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked，“What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”
“I don’t know，”she answered with her eyes full of tears(眼泪). “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it，so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11，but I can try and get some more，” she answered.
“Well，what luck，”smiled the man. “$ 1.11，the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong，a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.
How much did the miracle cost？
1.In the eye of the little girl，a miracle might be ______________.
A．something interesting B．something beautiful
C．some wonderful medicine D．some good food
2.What made the miracle happen？

3.From the passage we can infer （推断）that _______________.
