There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds. 1.. She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt the great love from the birds.

2.. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. 3.. She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to fly into the clear, blue sky. 4.. The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment. 5.. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest songs that she had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight, while the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

The islands of Malta and Gozo are brilliant for a family holiday, packed with fun places to visit whatever your children’s ages. The islands’ small size means everywhere is within easy reach.

Sandy beaches and swimming spots

One of Malta’s best beaches for families is soft-sanded, sheltered Golden Bay. Older children can try activities such as stand-up paddle boarding, sailing or windsurfing, while the gentle slope of the beach makes it easy for younger kids to safely paddle in the sea.

Eating out

Children are welcome at most restaurants, though more upmarket places often only accept older kids. There are often kids’ menus that tend to offer pizza, but you can always ask for a half portion of a starter dish (portions are huge in Maltese restaurants). With a wide range of cuisines on offer, children are bound to find something they’ll like, Maltese food is strongly influenced by Italian cuisine, so there’s pizza and pasta galore, and some kids will love the national dish-fried rabbit

Accommodation

Try to schedule at least a few days on Gozo as there are lots of self-catering farmhouses with pools to rent and it’s even easier to get around than Malta. Smaller hotels in Valletta usually only accept older children.

Transport and other tips

The easiest way to get around Malta and Gozo is to drive, but the local bus service is reliable, easy to use, and fairly inexpensive. Buses are frequent between major towns, but only roughly hourly to and from smaller places. Ferries run between Malta and Gozo, and you can take tourist boats over to Comino.

1.What can younger kids do on the islands of Malta and Gozo?

A. Experience paddling    B. Try windsurfing.

C. Have dinner at all restaurants.    D. Live in smaller hotels in Valletta.

2.What do we know about Maltese food?

A. Fried rabbit is the most popular among visitors.

B. Children can always eat up a portion of dish.

C. It has much to do with Italian cuisine.

D. Pizza is only offered to kids in Maltese restaurants.

3.What transportation may be the best choice for visitors in Malta and Gozo?

A. Tourist boats.    B. Motor vehicles.

C. Sailing boats.    D. Ferries.

 

To foreigners Chinese food isn’t a meal. It’s an experience. Failing to order the right food and struggling with chopsticks are only parts of the adventure every time I sit down in a restaurant.

In one of our favorite Sichuan restaurants, it took 3 waiters and 15 minutes for us to order only our drinks. I simply wanted water, but my dad wanted to try the fresh juice they had listed on the menu. There were two problems, however. There were neither pictures nor English on the menu. After several hand gestures, he ended up ordering just a coca cola to simplify things.

One of our most embarrassing moments was at Xiabuxiabu, a very famous hotpot chain. As soon as we walked in, the entire restaurant seemed to stare at us. Uncomfortable already, we had the most difficulty ordering our meal, since there were so many steps to the whole process. Fortunately, the waitress was very patient and successfully gave us our food. Although it was not the best food I had in Beijing, it was certainly entertaining dropping things into the boiling pot of soup. Once, I tried picking up a dumpling to show my father and dropped it onto his pants. I looked behind me, and people were laughing secretly at my chopstick skills.

No matter how many difficulties we have regarding food, our experiences give the best stories to tell. The servers are always understanding of our situation and their friendliness is exceptional. They always greet us with a big smile even when they realize they have to clean up the noodles slipped through our clumsy chopsticks.

1.The author and his father find it difficult to order food, because ________.

A. he has never been to China before.

B. no pictures or English go with the food.

C. Chinese food culture is complex.

D. they are treated badly.

2.What may make the author feel embarrassed most?

A. The Chinese language.

B. The use of chopsticks.

C. The name of Chinese food.

D. The attitudes towards foreigners.

3.How does the author feel about having dinner in China?

A. Satisfied.    B. Thrilled.

C. Excited.    D. Disappointed.

4.The passage mainly introduces ________.

A. the kindness of Chinese people

B. varieties of Chinese food

C. experiences of having Chinese food

D. the chopstick challenge in a restaurant

 

I had been in the city for some time and was coming home. I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship. I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.

Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver, the captain’s favourite dog, for the first time. What a big dog it was! I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!

On the third day the ship caught fire. Nobody tried to put it out. The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the life-boats. I saw no chance of getting away in a boat. Suddenly I remembered there was a life-raft on the ship. I had no time to lose, so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it overboard.

In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time. When I came to, I found there was no sign of a life-boat. Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her. I was the only one who was saved.

Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft. He struggled a long time before he managed to get onto it. I wanted to push him back into the water but did not dare to move. The dog shook himself, went to the other end of the raft and lay down. I didn’t dare to sleep that night. I must watch him. In the moonlight I could see his eyes were open. He was watching, too.

1.In what situation did the author first meet the dog?

A. While waiting for the boat.    B. While travelling in the city.

C. Upon leaving the port.    D. Upon getting onto the ship.

2.What did the author manage to do when the ship was going down?

A. Get away with a raft.    B. Board a life boat.

C. Jump into the water.    D. Put out the fire.

3.What is implied about the dog in the last Paragraph?

A. It was unfriendly.    B. It had a good sleep.

C. It enjoyed the moon.    D. It feared the author.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Rescuing a Dog    B. A Narrow Escape

C. A Sleepless Night    D. Caught in a Fire

 

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow landed on their window. The father asked his son,“What is that?”The son replied,“That’s a crow.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, The son said,“Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.”After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time,“What is that?”This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone,“It’s a crow, a crow.”

After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time,“What is that?”This time his son shouted at the father,“Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”

A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.

“Today my little son aged 3 was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.”

If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud,“I want to see my parents happy forever.

According to China Radio International, Chinese people had more than 30 billion goods sent through delivery services per year as online service is developing at a fast rate. Such a big market has led to a large demand for delivery workers, with some companies offering high salaries to attract new workers. It is not uncommon to see delivery workers riding electric bikes, motorcycles and trucks through big cities in China. Most of them seem to be in a hurry, as they run red lights to deliver their goods in time. Such behavior often causes serious problems.

In the first half of this year, food delivery drivers alone had 76 accidents in Shanghai, according to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. This means that on average, there is a food delivery worker that gets hurt on the road in Shanghai every 2.5 days. On Nov. 2lst, a truck loaded with goods caught fire and was burnt to ashes, destroying over one thousand goods.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)(自闭症)is a neurobehavioral(神经行为的)condition that includes damages in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills with stubborn, repetitive(重复的)behaviors.

Children with autism cannot communicate well with others. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it very hard for them to express themselves either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.

A child with ASD who is very sensitive may be greatly troubled-sometimes even pained-by sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem normal to others.

Children who are autistic may have unusual responses to people and self-injurious behavior. They refuse to change in their daily life and at times they cannot notice people, objects, or activities in their surroundings.

Some people with ASD may have problems in certain areas, especially the ability to communicate with others. But they may have unusually developed skills in other areas, such as drawing, creating music, solving math problems, or memorizing facts. For this reason, they may test higher—perhaps even in the average or above-average range-on intelligence tests.

Because ASD runs in families, most researchers think that certain genes may make a child suffer from ASD. But there are risk factors that increase the chance of having a child with ASD. For example, parents give birth to a baby at an old age, it will increase the chance of an autistic child. When a pregnant woman(孕妇)takes certain drugs, her child is more likely to be autistic.

There is no known cure. Fortunately, there are proven methods for helping children and adults with ASD learn better ways to express their needs. As the person with ASD learns to communicate what he or she wants, challenging behaviors often improve.

♦ Children born to 8. parents are at greater risk for having ASD.

♦ There is a high 9. that a pregnant woman taking certain drugs is linked with a higher risk of ASD.

Glancing at the large room through her blue eyes, four-year-old Nicole in her oversize short skirt began to cry. “It’s okay, honey,” I tried to encourage. “Come play with the other children.” But the more I persuaded, the more the water flowed.

Every week for the past eighteen years, I’ve spent Tuesdays with a dozen kids dressed in satin ribbons, feathers, butterfly wings and plastic jewelry. These afternoons are free flowing and non-threatening but for some strange reason, Nicole saw this as the final kiss of death.

In her mind, she was going to be left all alone with a strange woman and several other children. Uncontrollable tears rapidly started to flow and there wouldn’t be enough tissues in the whole building to mop up the flood.

Tip toeing quickly to the door, I gently called to her father. “Just sit in here for a while until she warms up,” I said. Standing next to his first born, Rich took his daughter's hand and led her to the centre of the room. Slowly he pushed, but again the damn broke. “Daddy, don’t leave me!” Nicole cried. “Don't make me do this.” Bending down on his knees until they were nose-to-nose, Rich gently whispered in her ear, “I’ll do it with you. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Holding her entire young hand around his middle two fingers, the pair went on to skip around the floor.

“Wow!” I cheered. “You deserve a prize. I’ve never seen a dad do that before.”

For a brief second Rich paused, and then with a smile, he replied, “Isn’t this part of the job?”

That wonderful moment was two years ago and I've thought of it often, especially when I see how well Nicole performs in class. More importantly, however, I’ve remembered it because it takes me back to my own dance beginnings with my father.

From the moment I was born, music spoke to me. The moment the radio or record player was turned on, I flay my arms and legs about the room in wild fashion. Most of the time, I was fine to perform alone, but the minute my dad walked into the room, I’d jump into his arms, hug him tight and place my tiny feet on top of his highly shined shoes.

While this memory is sweet, the real reason I hold it dear to my heart is because of what went behind his action. My father was not the most gifted creature on two legs when it came to dancing, but he’d stepped out of his comfort zone(区域)and danced because he knew how much I loved it. For him, helping his only daughter develop, despite how uncomfortable it made him feel, was part of his job.

As a child, my father did what he was told and lived as expected. But when it came to his own children, he allowed us the chance to follow our own path and we were never forced to be like him, live like him or think like him. He provided an environment where my three brothers and I were permitted to explore our own jungle until we found the life that was right for us.

To all you fathers who’ve influenced your children's lives by stepping out of your comfort zones to dance, whether it is in mind, body or soul-this one’s for you! You give a child the courage to stand on the center stage of life.

1.Why was Nicole so sad at her first dancing class?

A. She was asked to mop up the floor.    B. She had to be left with the strangers.

C. She didn't like the dancing dresses.    D. She was threatened by the older boys.

2.What does the father mean by saying “Isn’t this part of the job?” in Paragraph 6?

A. Dancing with their daughter is a father’s part-time job.

B. It’s a father’s job to force her daughter to learn dancing.

C. Fathers are always there to help their daughter if necessary.

D. Fathers are required to accompany their daughter in dancing classes.

3.What do we know about the author’s father?

A. He was fond of dancing.

B. He liked to make choices for his children.

C. He required his children to follow his path.

D. He tried to live up to his parents’ expectations.

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. Dance with my father    B. Stay in your comfort zone

C. Follow your own path    D. Find a dancing partner

 

At home and at work, invisible radio waves from dozens of wireless networks are running through your space and body. It’s reasonable to worry about what effect all that wireless energy might have on your health.

But while the wireless equipment is becoming popular recently, the kind of radiation they produce has been carefully examined for decades, says John Moulder, a professor from the Medical College of Wisconsin. In 2013, Moulder wrote a report about the existing health research on Wi-Fi. Like your mobile phone, Wi-Fi routers(路由器)send and receive information using radio waves, he says.

The research on radio waves and human health goes back at least to the 1950s, when there were concerns about Navy servicemen being exposed(暴露)to powerful shipboard radar(雷达). “We have 50 or 60 years of research into the kind of radiation connected with Wi-Fi,” Moulder says.

Foster was Moulder’s partner on that 2013 report of Wi-Fi's health effects. He says that, based on our understanding of radio wave strengths and risks, world health organizations have set safety standards for all the equipment that gives off radio waves—from phones to microwaves.

But some experts have more concerns about the types of weak radiation our wireless equipment produces. “We have animal studies suggesting even low-level exposures to the kind of radio wave radiation connected with Wi-Fi could have various negative health effects,” says Joel Moskowitz, a professor from the University of California.

Earlier this year, an animal study found heavy exposures to cell phone radiation increased rats’ risks for some brain and heart problems. But many of these animal studies are “all over the place” in their design quality, Foster says. Animal research often does not translate to humans. Also, many of the experiments are quite worrying, for the levels of radiation that the tested animals received are far greater than what people suffer when using mobile phones or wireless networks.

Moskowitz doesn’t disagree with Moulder. But he says the amount of radio wave radiation people receive today is different, and this raises new concerns. When it comes to our long-term, increasing exposures to all our wireless equipment, “we’re flying blind,” he says.

Of course, trying to avoid radio wave exposure is more or less impossible if you live in modern society. Moskowitz advises keeping wireless equipment away from your body and turning off wireless networks when they’re not in use. While any health risks are yet to be proved, “I think trying to minimize exposure is the best advice at this point,” Moskowitz adds.

1.What can be inferred from what John Moulder and Kenneth Foster say?

A. The study of Wi-Fi dates back to the 1950s.

B. There is no need to worry about the use of Wi-Fi.

C. People take risks when using phones and microwaves.

D. Navy servicemen near radar were in great danger.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 suggest?

A. Many studies on animals can be seen here and there.

B. The design quality of animal research is far from scientific.

C. The conditions set for animal studies are similar to those of humans.

D. Human beings suffer from stronger radiation than the tested animals.

3.What’s Moskowitz’s attitude towards the use of wireless equipment?

A. Cautious.    B. Uncaring.

C. Positive.    D. Curious.
