My friend Brett had just got a bike. A lot of kids in my neighborhood knew how to ride. I also wanted to ride, but all the boys told me I couldn’t do it because I was a girl. I decided to prove them wrong, so Brett let me try his bike. I wasn’t on for one minute before I fell off. He came over to see if I was OK, but then started laughing.

That night I told my dad the whole story about how I wanted to be as good as boys. A few days later my dad told me he had found a nice bike. He brought it home and that was when I became the laughing stock (笑柄) of the neighborhood. All the boys thought it was a joke that I actually wanted to learn how to ride.

My dad spent four long weeks teaching me everything I needed to know about the bike and the basics of riding. Day after day and night after night he worked with me, and I began to progress.

Each ride on my dirt bike, I got a little better, and finally I was ready for my first time on a trip with some boys. At first I couldn’t keep up and the boys had to wait for me. My bike often got stuck in the muddy creeks.

Every time I came back, I would cry, and every time I cried my dad was there to put his arms around me. He would tell me not to listen to them and that with more practice, I would be as good as others or better than them.

Things eventually got easier, as if I could ride with my eyes closed. I am still made fun of, not because I’m an amateur (技术不熟练的人) or not good, but because they felt threatened that a girl can do what they did.

1.Why did all the boys say that the writer couldn’t ride a bike?

2.Did the writer’s father get her a bike?

3.How long did it take for the writer to learn to ride a bike?

4.What happened to the writer’s bike when she first had a trip with some boys?

5.What can you learn from the writer according to the story?

Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a letter to God to make sure he could look after Abbey well.    1.  . She dictated (口述) these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog?  2.   . I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her.   3.   . I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love, Lucy

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed, “To Lucy” with this note:

Dear Lucy,

Abbey has arrived in heaven.

4.   . Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. You don’t need to worry about her. She’s being looked after very well here. Thank you for the beautiful letter. 5.  . You have a wonderful mother. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I’m easy to find. I am wherever there is love.

Love, God

Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.

Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.

Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.

You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.

For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Happiness.      B. Shyness.

C. Kindness.       D. Loneliness.

2.What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Passed down from parents.

B. Learned from friends

C. Taught by teachers.

D. Made up by brothers.

3.Which one is not the reason of shyness according to the scientists’ ideas?

A. Genetics.          B. Family size

C. Failure           D. Birthplace.

4.What can you do if you want to get over your shyness?

A. Try to know why you are shy.

B. Talk to your parents and blame them.

C. Try to learn some social skills.

D. Try new things and practice conversation.

How to Be a Better Student

Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

1.The writer gives you ______ methods to help you in the passage.

A. Four.         B. Five.           C. Six.          D. Seven.

2.What should you do if you want to plan your time?

A. Make a schedule of your time.

B. Find a good study area.

C.  Take advantage of class time.

D. Review the important points.

3.How can we remember what the teacher says?

A. By taking notes in class.

B. By concentrating on the subject.

C. By listening to everything.

D. By discussing with your classmates.

4.What is the purpose of a test according to the writer?

A. To help you solve some problems.

B. To make us become better students.

C. To discover if you are interested in a subject.

D. To show what you have learned about a subject.

任务型阅读

A speaker was giving a speech to his student on what to do with stress(压力). He held up a glass of water and asked the students， “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students’answers were different，from 20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the exact weight. It depends on(取决于) how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute， it is OK. If I hold it for an hour， I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day， you will send me to the hospital. It is the same weight， but the longer I hold it， the heavier it becomes.”

“If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time， we will not be able to carry on， because the burden is becoming heavier and heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down， have a rest for a while and hold it up again.”

We have to put down the burden sometimes， so that we can cheer up and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight， put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders， let it down for a moment .

Life is short， enjoy it!

Animals do many different， amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate. They travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.

Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous， some travel in large groups. For example， geese(鹅) fly in noisy， “V”-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.

Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as the weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example， snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.

Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals， like mice， collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change.

Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special， very deep sleep. The animal’s body temperature drops， and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn， these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating.

Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold， they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There， frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water， and frogs can breathe through their skin.

Every type of insect has its own life cycle and that is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Some insects also spend the winter without moving. Some insects spend the winter as pupae（蛹）. Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again.

I live in a new town with my family. There are lots of tall buildings in the town. The streets are busy and the traffic is heavy， but the pollution is not very serious .

In our town， more than half of the buildings have fifteen to thirty floors. Most of the people live in such tall buildings， but they don’t have to climb the stairs. They use lifts to go up and down.

Many restaurants， supermarkets， cinemas and theatres are in very tall buildings. They are big， bright and modern. So people enjoy eating， shopping， seeing films and watching plays in them.

The streets in our town are wide， but because there are too many cars， they are still very busy. Sometimes when you come to the street crossing， you have to wait for the green lights for a long time.
