Starting a stamp collection is easy and not very expensive. Before you start, you need to decide what kind of stamps you

want to collect. Most people collect stamps that they are interested in: a certain country or an animal, a famous person or even

a sport. Whatever you choose, you will find that there is a world of knowledge in stamps: you will learn about people, geography,

building, history and culture.

You can collect stamps from letters, ask your friends to let you have their old stamps, or you can buy used stamps. When

you get a letter with a stamp on it, carefully cut out the stamp. Leave lots of space around the stamp so that you will not damage

it. Put the stamp in water and wait until you can safely remove the stamp. Carefully remove the stamp off the letter. Place the

wet stamp between two clean pieces of paper. A stamp can get wrinkled

（褶皱的）

when it dries, so put some books on top.

19.

What does the writer think of collecting stamps?

A.

Hard

B. Expensive

C. Useful

D. Boring

20.

What does the underlined work “damage” mean?

A.

损坏

B.

保存

C.

利用

D.

删除

21.

What's the correct order when we try to get a stamp on a letter?

①

Remove the stamp off the letter.

②

Place the wet stamp between two pieces of paper.

③

Cut out the stamp.

④

Put the stamp in water.

now it was time for him to do something.

Robbie looked out of the window. It was still snowing heavily and there was ice on the window. It was another cold

day. Robbie was told to turn the heat on before the family got home. And he did it.

Helen. He kept on working until every room was clean and tidy.

got some tomatoes, cabbages and carrots to make a vegetable salad.

At ten past eight he laid the table. Then he put some bread, the chicken soup and the salad on it. What a sweet smell!

Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying

“She is a typical(

典型的

) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar

characteristics.

French

French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are

good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly people who are hard-

working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face”

when dealing with other people.

Australians

Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but

sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans

Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to

details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a

German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.

Ma Hua graduated from Fudan University. He had a good career in IT and a great life in Shanghai, but he felt there was

something missing from his life. He wanted to help others to improve their lives, so in March 2003 he gave up his job. Then he

moved to south-west China to do voluntary work in a village primary school.

He soon became an important member of the local people. In his class, he painted pictures on the walls to help students remember

English words. He also spent his money building a playground for the children.

Ma Hua quickly got used to his new life. He got great satisfaction from his work and felt very happy, even though life there

was hard---he had to melt

（融化）

ice for water and grow vegetables for food. When he was free, he wrote poems describing

the peace and beauty around him. Sometimes he would go walking in the mountains and enjoy the beautiful view.

Sadly Ma Hua was killed in a car accident in July 2004 at the age of 31. His death was a great loss to all those who knew

There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up

with other people's faults

（缺点）

, while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings

（短处）

.

So it's easy to find other people's faults, but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us.

There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly.

When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon,

He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty.

himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.

When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said,

He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his

own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others.

If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity

（虚荣）

, which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

26.

Tommy thought it was hard to be friends with Simon because Simon was

__________ .

A.

impatient B. a rude person

C. dishonest D. too proud of his rich parents

27.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.

Tommy was a person liked by others.

B.

Tommy liked sharing his things with others.

C.

Tommy always discovered his own shortcoming.

D.

Maybe Tommy was no better than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

28.

In this passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us

_

_______ .

A.

to be more patient

B.

not to be a person with vanity

C.

not to take others' things without asking

D.

to pay more attention to our own shortcomings

B

Do you know that it is your immune system

（

免疫系统

）

working against the virus that makes you uncomfortable when

getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune system

—

and the virus is strong enough too

—

you

will possibly get terrible cold symptoms

（症状）

such as having a headache, having a high fever, sneezing or coughing,

Vitamin C won't stop a cold. It is said that Vitamin C works by increasing white blood cells. However, many tests have shown

that it does not prevent colds. At best, it only reduces the time of symptoms.

Staying indoors won't protect you. One of the most likely sources

（根源）

of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk.

A study of the cold virus in offices found that 46 per cent of computer mice and 45 per cent of telephones had cold viruses on them.

Wearing warm clothes won't protect you. Colds are more common in autumn and winter. That's because the cool, wet and

cold weather drives people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to the next. And the distinct peak

（高

峰期）

in colds is in September and February, which likely because of the return of students to schools and colleges after the

summer and winter holidays.

Old wives are right about chicken soup. Grandmothers' chicken soup is an old cure for colds for a long 6me. Scientists say it

is true. Chicken soup does help cure a cold, so many wives usually cook chicken soup for their family members in cold winters.

29.

According to the passage, when your immune system is working against the virus, you don't have cold symptoms like

A. headache B. stomachache C. sneeze D. cough

30.

Which of the following ways can really help cure colds?

A. Staying indoors.

B.

Wearing more clothes.

C.

Drinking some chicken soup.

D.

Eating some fruit with Vitamin C.

31.

Why are colds more common in autumn and winter?

A.

Because students return to school.

B.

Because the weather is cool, wet and cold.

C.

Because people don't drink chicken soup.

D.

Because people use computers or telephones more often.

C

At noon the rush hour had passed. There were few guests

（顾客）

in the snack bar. It was not crowded. When the boss was

about to take a break to read a newspaper, in came an old lady and a little boy.

“How much money is a

bowl of beef soup?” the grandma sat down, counted the money in her purse and ordered a bowl of

beef soup. The grandma pushed the bowl to the little boy, who swallowed

（吞咽）

his saliva

（口水）

, looking at his grandma

and saying,

（咀嚼）

a piece of radish

（萝卜泡菜）

slowly. Very quickly, the little boy ate up the meal.
