13、After the Spring Festival，I found some of my mom's daily habits have changed．

Her cooking way was different．Vegetables that had been cooked crisply （脆） became very tender and soft．Fish that had been fried（煎炸的） became soup．Her old shredded（切成细条的） potato turned into diced potato．．．Feeling strange，Dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change．But all she said was，\"Just trying a different taste．\" Then she was silent．

But it wasn't just her cooking way．____ After dinner，instead of watching films on TV as usual，she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and asked Dad to go out for a walk．After they came back home，Mom would lose herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare．Mom almost never gets sick．Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?

\"Some cooking should be changed to keep them healthy．They like fish soup，diced potato，tender and soft vegetables．．．\"

\"I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise．If my parents are too weak to move around，I can be strong enough to take care of them．When I am old，my son can also pay less attention to taking care of me．．．\"

When I read this，I felt very sorry．I used to complain that Mom didn't understand me and couldn't give me everything I wanted．I always thought there was a wide gap（沟） between us．But now I completely understand her．How great she is! She always thinks of others before herself．Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives．How unselfish her love is!

14、What do you think are the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones. Paperis one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.

One of thesimplest(最简单) inventions to save life is thetoilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses werecommon(普通的) in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.

Animal foodis another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. Afterhay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.

Reading glassesis the fourth invention. People start gettingfar-sighted (远视) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.

1．Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to ______. A．have printing

B．feed animals

C．drink clean water D．do “close work”2．The invention of the toilet can stop people from ______. A．saving water

15、Bobby was preparing to go to bed one night when he heard a shrill screech(尖叫) coming from the barn(牲口棚) outside. What could be making such a loud noise so late in the evening? He had trouble falling asleep and turned all night long dreaming about the noisy monster in the barn. When Bobby woke the next morning, he ran to the barn to discover what caused the loud noise last night. Bobby was baffled. He could not figure out what would make such a noise. That evening after dinner, Bobby gathered his courage, held a flashlight and headed out to the barn. “Where are you going?” Bobby’s father asked as Bobby made his way through the kitchen to the back door. “I am going to find the monster in the barn that was making such a noise last night,” Bobby replied bravely. “If you are going to look for a monster, you might need some help,” Bobby’s dad responded as he walked with Bobby out to the barn.

“What did this monster sound like?” Bobby’s dad asked.

“It was a screeching noise,” Bobby said, “and it was coming from the barn. I know it!” Bobby’s dad began to smile as they went near the barn, and he took the flashlight from Bobby. Shining the flashlight up at the roof of the barn, Bobby and his dad saw a small brown owl in the roof.

“It was only a barn owl that you heard last night,” Bobby’s dad said. “They are active in the night so that is why you only heard him at night. He must have been hunting.”

Bobby was relieved that it wasn’t really a monster. He thanked his dad as they walked back to the house. As they reached the door they heard a loud screech and looked up just in time to see the barn owl flying away into the night sky. 1．The noise Bobby heard the first night was_______________. A．the barn owl flying B．the barn owl screeching C．a monster in the barn D．the barn owl building a nest

D．discovering the source of a strange sound

4．What would probably be the best title for this passage? A．The Monster in the Barn B．The Horse in the Barn C．Father and Son D．Bobby’s Dad

16、If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival (生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear. Find a hiding place

Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain. Signal for help

The best time to signal is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket-gold side facing out on the ground. Do not walk away

It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbite (冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.

You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

1．When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you_____. A．take a space blanket with you B．do more physical labor C．try to find a car immediately D．walk as far as possible to find help

2．According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they _____. A．do not take enough equipment B．stay in the middle of the mountain

C．do not keep themselves warm D．stay in a snow-covered area 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Don't travel by yourself. B．Mountain traveling is dangerous. C．Don't get frightened in danger. D．Avoid going to unfamiliar places.

17、As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. He sat down, hung his head forward, looking at the food in front of him. Frowning, he began peeling the soggy milk-soaked bread (浸透牛奶的) from his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I’ve ever done!” he said, “It’s not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”

“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest. It’s only two weeks away and I don’t know what I’m doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There’s no way to avoid it!”

“Don’t be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be great, You’re very capable. You have the skills to do just about anything.”

Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.

“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let’s brainstorm a list of things you could do. We’ll divide the list into categories or groups. Let’s start with music. You play the piano, right?” “I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny. “What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.

Danny shook his head no. “Let’s move on to another category.”

“What about performing magic tricks?” asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.

“I don’t know how to play magic tricks!” Danny almost shouted. “Elena, how did I get myself into this huge mess?” “Stop being so…” Elena paused, “That’s it, DRAMATIC!” Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.” Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!”

Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.” 1．Elena and Danny were talking ______.

A．in the cafeteria B．in the classroom C．in a theatre D．at home 2．Danny was unhappy because of ______. A．the spilled milk B．her friend Elena C．the talent contest D．the milk-soaked bread 3．With the help of Elena, Danny finally decided to ______. A．play the piano B．sing a song

Glad to receive your email. You asked me about festivals in China. Let me introduce some important ones to you. First of all, I want to introduce the Lantern Festival. It comes in January or February. On that day, we eat yuanxiau, go to watch lantern shows and dragon dances to pray for health and happiness for the whole year.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is in the middle of autumn. It is a time for the family to get together and celebrate harvest. At night，the whole family eat delicious mooncakes and tell the story of Chang’e while watching the big bright moon. The Spring Festival is the most important for us Chinese. It’s the beginning of a new year. We usually eat dumplings, meat and some other nice food. To welcome the new year, we do some cleaning，buy new clothes, set off fireworks and visit our relatives. Everyone, young or old, has a happy smile on their face.

Can you tell me something about the festivals in your country? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Zhang Ming
