When I was about 12, I hated a girl. I even thought of her as an enemy. She liked to pointed out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was too thin; I was not a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. At last, I couldn’t stand her. I ran to my father.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Jane, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. I couldn’t change some of them, like being very thin, but more I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a pretty clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth.”
Daddy’ s advice has returned to me at many important moments.In my life,I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

3.How did Jane feel after she made the list?

B. She didn’t lose heart and decided to change.
C. She was happy because she could draw a picture.
4.What does the sentence “In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.”mean?
A. She didn’t like her father’s advice.
B. Her father gave her better advice after she grew up.
C. Her father gave her the best advice in her life.
5.What can we learn from this story?

Nowadays, more and more junior school students choose to study abroad. It is good for them? We interviewed some students. Here are some different opinions.
Li Xin: Kids now in china are less independent. Usually they can’t live along without their parents. But studying abroad is a good way to improve their self—care ability, because they cannot depend on anyone but themselves when stay abroad.
Zhou Jing: I’ve always wanted to study in the UK. I think there is a completely different culture waiting for me to learn about. Although we may learn about it from textbooks and the Internet. I still think it is much better to look and feel by ourselves.
Wu Wei: Some students want to study abroad because they don’t like the senior high school entrance exam(中考)， But they need to study hard and keep a good habit. Although the exam brings students pressure, it helps. If not, some of them may relax too much and learn little.
Chen Yu: China has a long history, and I am a big fan of it. As a Chinese, I think we should learn about our history and culture first and then compare it with others. On the other hand, there are too many new things in foreign countries. Lots of students may pay more attention to them and forget about their study.
1.Li Xin thinks kids will learn to be ______ when they study abroad.
A. independent B. careful C. lonely

There were eight young children in it. I guessed they were not rich. Their clothes were a little old, but they were clean. The children talked ______ with each other about the clowns(小丑)they would see. I was sure that they ______ went out. So it was clearly a very exciting day out for them. Their parents stood ______ them and watched them talking.
The ticket lady asked ______ tickets the father wanted. He proudly answered, “Please give me eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I ______ take all my family to the circus.” The ticket lady told him the price. The father kept ______ for a short time. Then, again he asked, “How much did you say?” Then the tickets lady ______ the price more loudly.
