Twai
n for several seconds and then
answered, ―I’m a police officer. My job is
to catch people who hunt and fish
during the wrong seasons. And who you are?‖ Mark

herself when the dish was ready. As the dish
was very hot, she put it near the open
window to cool for a few minutes. But when she
came back for it
after five minutes,
she was surprised to find the
neighbour'
s
cat. Chester, at
the dish. Fortunately, she
was just in
time to stop the cat-before it was too late. That
afternoon was successful and everyone
enjoyed the dish very much. They talked
and laughed till four o'clock.
At the
end of the afternoon, when she was alone again,
Mrs. Wilson felt tired but happy. She was in a
chair just near the window when,
through the window, she saw the
neighbour'

cat dead in her
garden.

telephoned the family
doctor for

Dear Richard,
We arrived in
Hong Kong three days ago. We are having a
wonderful time, but every day is very busy.
We get up early and go to bed late.
It’s rather tiring.
Yesterday we took a bus to the Park. It
was a very clear day. From the top, we saw the

buy a video camera for you because

Dear Mum and Dad.
We are having a lovely time in Hong

Ocean Park. We
saw lots of sharks and
dolphins there. Robert enjoyed it very much. Today
we are going to Lantau Island.
We will
see the huge statue of Buddha there. Tomorrow we
are going shopping on Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong is very different to our
hometown in England. The streets are more crowded
and there is
more traffic on the roads.
It is noisier than at home as well, and everything
is more expensive he
re!
See

Lots of love,
Mary
Hi Dan!
Hong Kong is a great
city! There is so much to see and do here. We went

went on a roller-coaster and a cable car.
I loved the roller-coaster and I went
on it four times! Mum and Dad thought I was lost,

me at the top of the
roller-coaster.
Tomorrow will be a

See you soon!
Your friend,

her own child. For

accident, Hetty did not call a doctor. She
dressed her son in old clothes and took
him to a free clinic. The doctors knew her and
asked for money.
Hetty refused and took
her son home. The boy did not get medical
treatment, and a few years later his
leg was amputated
(

It's not
easy being a teenager
—
nor
is it easy being the parent of a teenager. If your
teen has you puzzled
and upset, or even
refuses to talk to you. the following offers a
practical approach to giving your child the
space he needs to grow while gently
making him know that you'll be still there for him
when he needs
you.
Offer
your help always, but your advice only when asked.
If your child is unwilling to discuss a particular
topic, don't force him to tell you
what's in his mind. Let him attempt to solve
things by himself
—
a sure
sign to him that you support his
growing independence and the greatest way for him
to build self-respect.
Don't invade
your teenager'
s
space. Show
the same respect for his privacy
(
隐私
)that you would show for
any adult relatives. Never read his
mail or listen in on personal conversations. And
do avoid going into his
room to tidy up
when he'
s
not at home.
Remember a teenager is old enough to maintain his
own room.
Mirror only positive
(
积极的
) feelings about
physical appearance. Most teenagers are
oversensitive about
how they look.
Although they may be highly critical
(
批评的
) about the way others
look or dress, they are
often unable to
handle such criticism directed toward them. Self-
image is very important to teenagers, so
keep a cool head about fashions your
teen chooses to wear. You should look for ways to
support and
strengthen any positive
comments your child makes about himself.
It may seem like a simple step, but
talking to your teen about the risks of drugs
(
毒品
) may help keep your
teen drug-free. In fact, teens who
learn about the dangers of drugs from their
parents are less likely to
(
可
能
) try drugs
than those who learn nothing at home.
Try to open up the lines of
communication with your teen.
78.

Malls are
popular places for Americans to go. Some people
spend so much time at malls that they are
called mall rats.
People
like malls for many reasons. They don't feel any
danger around them because malls have police
stations or private security guards.
Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is
always fine. The
newest malls have
beautiful rest area with waterfalls and large
green trees.
The largest mall in the
United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota.
It covers 4.2 million square feet.
It
has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-
acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750
cars.
About 750,000 people shop every
week.
The first indoor mall in the
United States was built in 1965 in Edina,
Minnesota. People loved doing all
their
shopping in one place. More malls were built all
over the country. Now, malls are like town centers
where people come to do many things.
They shop, of course. They also eat in food houses
that have
food from all over the world.
They see movies at theatres. Some people even get
their daily exercise by
doing the new
sport mall walking. Others go to malls to meet
friends. In some malls, people can see a
doctor or a dentist and even attend
church. In other words, people can do just
everything in malls. Now
residents can
actually live in their favorite shopping centre.
99. Why are some people in America
called mall rats?
100. What is the
purpose of having police stations inside the
malls?
101. Do people need to pay for
parking in malls?
102. How many cars
can the parking spaces of the largest mall in the
United States hold?
103. When and where
was the first indoor mall set up in the United
States?
104. Why were more malls built
all over the country?
105. Do you
prefer to have a one-day trip to such malls? Give
at least two reasons.

99. Because they spend much time at
malls. 100. They can make people feel safe.
101. No, they needn't. 102. 12,750
cars. 103. In Edina, Minnesota in 1965.
104. Because people like doing all
their shopping in one place. / Because people can
do many other
things besides shopping.
105. Yes. I can visit the church and

Hondorf is a music teacher. She
has always made some money by giving piano
lessons. She had a
student named Robby.
He was 11 years old when his mother took him to
his first piano lesson. Hondorf
thinks
that students should begin at an earlier
age
，
which she explained to
Robby. But Robby said that it
had
always been his mother’s wish to hear him play the
piano
，
so she took him as a
student. But from the
beginning Hondorf
thought he was a hopeless learner. He was not
talented(
有才能的
)in playing the
piano.
But Hondorf had to say he tried
day
，
Robby stopped coming
back and told her that he wanted
to
play in public. He said his mother had been
ill
，
so he had to practice at
home. Hondorf hesitated
because she
thought he couldn’t play the piano well
enough
，
but finally she
agreed.
The night for the public show
came. The high school hall was full of parents and
friends. When Robby
began
playing
，
Hondorf was
surprised at what she heard. He played so well
that everyone in the hall was
moved.
Hondorf ran up to him when he ended. ―I’ve never
heard you play like
that

Robby!How could you
do it?‖―Well

morning. And well…she was born deaf(

，
so tonight was
the first time she ever
heard me play.I
wanted to make it special.‖
When Hondorf heard
this

she felt that he was
the teacher and she was the pupil. For it was he
that
taught her the meaning of love and
believing in yourself.

shouldn’t begin to learn the piano so
late.

When an animal helps another
animal
，
it usually gets
something valueable(
有价值的
)in
return. For a long
time
，
many
scientists thought that only people could act
generously just because it feels good.
However
，
a new
study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an
animal like a large monkey without a
tail ) also do good things for no real
reason. And so do children who are as young as 18
months of age.
Maybe it is because
humans an chimpanzees share an ancestor about
6million years ago.
People and
chimpanzees appear to develop such features
without any other
training
，
says
Warneken
，
a scientist in
Germany.
Warneken and his partners
worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island
in the Afican country of
Uganda. They
also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany.
The researchers performed three
experiments on the adult chimpanzees
and two experiments on the kids. In the first
animal experiment
，
a person
tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a
stick
，
but he couldn’t reach
it. A chimpanzee was in
the
cage
，
and it could reach the
stick if it wanted to.
Thirty-six
chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by
one
，
and no chimpanzee saw
what the other
chimpanzees had done.
Even though the animals hadn’t met the person
before
，
they usually took the
stick and gave it to the person. What’s
more
，
they did this whether
or not the person offered them
bananas
as a reward.
In a similar
experiment
，
36 children acted
in a similar way. They helped the person reach the
stick
，
whether or not they
were offered toys for their help.
Researchers did other experiments on
chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in
either
experiment. And
still
，
both the chimpanzees
and children went out of their way to help.
Still
，
the new study
is different from earlier findings.
Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give
rewards of food to
other
chimpanzees
，
even if it costs
them nothing to be generous.
78. Many
scientists thought that ________for a long time.
A) another animal could do bravely
B)only people could act generously
C)children could describe things
clearly
D)chimpanzees could discover
things carefully
79. A new study in
Germany suggests that ________.
A)
people also share information for good reason
B) children know something at the age
of 18 months
C)chimpanzees do good
things for no real reason, too
D)humans
should develop their abilities 6 million years ago
80. The underlined words ―an ancestor‖
probably means―________‖.
A)a person in the family who lived a
long time ago
B)a child in the school
who lived with grandparents
C)a
chimpanzee on an island that lived for years
D)an animal in the zoo that lived with

Richard is an exchange student from
the USA. He is teaching his friends at Rose Garden
School how to
play Softball. He is
explaining the rules.
Richard: First,
we need a bat, a ball and some bases.
Ben: What are bases?
Richard: They are flat squares that
show you where to run. After you hit the ball,
you
have to run around
the
bases.
If you stand on a base, you are
safe. If you are running to a base, and the other
team touches the base
with the ball,
then you are out.
Jennifer: Oh, I see.
How would I hit the ball?
Richard: Have
you seen baseball on television?
Jennifer: I have.
Richard:
Well, Softball is like baseball, only the ball is
bigger and softer too.
Jennifer: Do you
like volleyball? I love it.
Richard: I
like to play beach volleyball. It's different from
volleyball.
Ben: How?
Richard: In beach volleyball, you only
have two people on each team and the court is
smaller.
Jennifer: Do you play on the
beach?
Richard: Yes. It’s good because
if you dive for the ball, you don’t hurt
yourself.
Ben: Do you play
football at your school?
Richard: Which
kind of football?
Jennifer: I don't
understand there more than one kind? I thought
everyone play the same kind of football.
Richard: No. In the USA, we have
football and soccer. So ccer is a game that is
played around the world.
In other
countries, soccer is called football. In the USA,
we also play a different game called football.
In this game, you throw the ball and
you have to wear a helmet to play.
Jennifer: Well, I want to play
softball.
71. The rules for playing
softball are nearly the same as those for playing
baseball.

touches the base with the ball,
you are

In
the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the
sea became warmer every few years. They gave
this special event a Spanish name 'El
Nino', meaning 'the baby'. It is called 'the baby'
because it arrives
around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in
the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It
happens every
two to seven years. It
moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and
smaller at different times. This
warm
water affects the weather. It is always raining
over El Nino. El Nino contains a lot of energy.
Scientists think this energy is formed
when wind comes from the northern half of the
world. The winds
blow across warm sea
water in the south. When the strong wind hits the
warm water, violent weather
happens.
Scientists think that El Nino existed for many
thousands of years.
El Nino affects
every person in the world because it affects the
entire world'
s
weather. It
can bring the
rain that farmers need.
It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can
mean that fishermen cannot catch
fish,
and it can bring floods. There is nothing we can
do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can
help the world'
s
weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect
and air pollution. The most important job
for scientists is to learn how to
predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous
weather. Then, people
can try to
prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New
technology like satellite pictures and temperature
measuring equipment can help. Still, it
is very hard to say when or where El Nino will
cause damage.
78. El Nino is ______.
A) a storm that hits every two years B)
a huge area of warm water
C) a wind
from the south D) some cold water in the Pacific
Ocean
79. It happens ______.
A) every year B) every month
C) every seven years D) every two to
seven years
80. El Nino ______.
A) makes the weather better B) affects
the weather
C) gives the weather energy
D) predicts the weather
81. It is
always______ over EI Nino.
A) sunny B)
cloudy C) rainy D) windy
82. El Nino
affects ______.
A) everybody B) just
farmers
C) only fishermen D) only
students
83. We can help the
world'
s
weather by______.
A) finding out more about El Nino B)
being careful during the floods
C)
driving cars D) stopping the greenhouse effect
84. ______helps to predict El Nino.
A) Looking out of the window B)

Can plants eat people? Probably not,
but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of
them are big. And
they can eat small
animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus
flytrap.
The Venus flytrap is a very
strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United
States. Its leaves are like the
pages
of a book. They can open and close very quickly.
Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If
a
fly touches one of the hair, the leaf
presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant
covers the fly. Slowly,
the plant eats
the fly.
Why do plants do it? Most
plants get what they need from the sun, the air,
and the ground. In some
places, the
ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these
important
things, especially
nitrogen(
氮
). Animal
meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some
plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope
that some of the
bigger plants don’t
get the same idea!

Venus flytrap is a kind of _______.
A.
plant B. animal C. food D. meat

What are the hottest
words of 2008 in China? Google gave its list this
month.
―Shanzhai‖, a Chinese word,
which means ―copying‖, is top of the list. It’s
true that ―Shanzhai‖ is
everywhere. It
refers to all kinds of homemade are ―Shanzhai‖
movies, songs, and TV
programs. Some
people even tried to prepare for a ―shanzhai‖
Spring Festival gala
last
year. ―Shanzhai‖
is popular because it
provides the ordinary people a chance to take part
in many activities. Meanwhile, it
brings about a risk of breaking
copyright laws.
The second hottest word
is an ancient Chinese character
―
囧
‖. It is pronounced
―jiong‖. It used to mean
―light shining
through a window‖. Now young Chinese use it to
express embarrassment, or a bad mood.
Look at the character, doesn't it look
like a disappointed face?
The newly
intvented Chinese Charater
―
槑
‖ is the fourth hottest.
Pronounced ―méi‖, the word is a different
form of the word
―
梅
‖. But it also looks like
a double version of the character
―
呆
‖, which means stupid. So
young people nowadays have borrowed it
to mean ―very silly or very stupid‖.
What will be
the hottest
words of 2009 in China then? I guess ― financial
crisis‖ and ―H1N1 flu‖ will be on
the
list. Here are the reasons. ― financial crisis‖
brought China some serious problems and one of
them is
that many people lost their
jobs. They say ―I lost my
job because of the financial crisis! ‖
Also,we can
often hear a terrible
disease called ―H1N1 Flu‖, it has caused hundreds
of death. ― Many pigs are ill, so I
don’t buy pork now‖ people say
so.
These two words are
often heard now. But things are always changing,
who knows what will be the
hottest?
Let’s wait and see.
