Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson admired him, trying to copy him in every way he could.21教育网
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don't understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”
The old man quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time.”
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.
The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”
The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.
“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”
25. What puzzled the grandson most was______.
A. why he forgot what he read soon
B. whether it was useful to read books
C. what kind of book he could understand
D. how he could read books like his grandpa
26. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water?
A. To train him to run faster.
B. To clean the dirty basket in the river.
C. To punish him for not reading carefully.
D. To get him to realize the use of reading books.
27. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. The old are always wiser than the young.
B. It is foolish to carry water with a basket.
C. Reading books can change a person gradually.
D. You can’t expect to remember whatever you read.

Children seem to care so much about their names. A study showed that 25% of young children feel they couldn't live any more if you took away their name. Another study shows that about one third of all young people wish their parents had given them a different name.
In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their family for many years. It tells the child where he or she has come from.
Choosing a good name isn't easy. Many parents search books that tell them the meaning of names. They could choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means “valuable gift”. Amanda means “love”. And Fara means “joy”.
Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during the birth of the child. In Africa,
a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means "born on Saturday".
But can our names influence our lives? Some experts say that they can, but others disagree. Is every girl called Malak like an angel? Is every boy called Curitis polite? And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy? No parents can tell what kind of person their child will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn’t mean he will be clever. All they can do is hope.
28. Ama is a name used to show______.
A. where she has come from B. she was born on Saturday
C. she was the first born daughter D. the happiness of the family
29. Which of the following names means kindness and beauty?
A. Fara. B. Mahira. C. Malak. D. Curitis.
30. Which of the following statements（陈述）is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Nearly 25% of the people wish they had been given a different name.
B. All names can tell something about what happened when the baby was born.
C. The child’s name decides what kind of person the child will grow up to be.
D. In some cultures, a child’s name can tell where he or she has come from.
31. The writer develops the passage mainly by______.
A. using numbers B. giving examples C. telling stories D. giving reasons
D
New research shows sheep are clever
People often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents（啮齿动物）. Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.
Young fish prefer noisy neighbors
A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of
sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, complete with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17 species（物种）of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss of grasslands covered with flowers. You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.21教育名师原创作品
32. What is the passage mainly about？
A. Some new studies about animals.
B. People’s wrong ideas about animals.

A. are less clever than rodents B. can find their home
C. can read maps D. are good planners

A. The species of grass in grasslands.
B. The species of trees in grasslands.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
English learning
Everyone knows English is one of the most important subjects in middle schools.
And we always know learning English is very important, but few students know how to learn English well. 36
I think if we have a right way to learn English, and we work hard, then we must learn English well. But what is the right way? 37 Second, everyone knows remembering new words is important, but how to remember them? I think we can copy new words on pieces of paper, and take them with us. When we are free, we can read them. Third, how to improve our listening and speaking? 38 And we can answer the questions in class; don't be afraid of making mistakes. I think it's useful to us. Finally, it's about reading and writing. 39 And try our best to retell them. We can also keep a diary every day, and spend an hour practicing English.
40 If necessary, we can turn to our classmates and teachers for help instead of giving up. If we don't study hard, it's difficult to learn English well.
A. To begin with, you can recite as many words as you can.
B. First, we must be confident enough to learn English and be interested in it.
C. Whenever we meet difficulties in our English study, we shouldn’t lose heart.
D. We can sing English songs, listen to the radio and listen to tapes every day.
E. Then how can we make rapid progress and learn English well?
F. In a word, we will make rapid progress.
G. When we are free, we can read articles in English.

Dear Peter,
I'm very sorry to hear that you are having trouble in getting used to your new school. Such problems are quite normal. Perhaps the following suggestions may be helpful.
First, I think you may need to communicate with your classmates face to face as much as possible. In this way, you will get to know each other better. Second, it might be a good idea for you to take part in more school activities, which gives you chances to have a better understanding of other students and is therefore good for developing friendly relationship. Lastly, when you face some difficult problems, you might consider asking your teachers for help, who can usually offer you some valuable suggestions.
I sincerely hope my advice will be of some help to you. If there is anything more I can do to help, please let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
