“Jamila, is the money on the table yours?” asked Mrs. Johnson.
Jamila looked up from the 1 in her hand. “Oops. I took it out of my jacket pockets before I left for tennis practice yesterday and 2 to take the money up to my room.” Then Jamila put it in the book.
“Jamila, you just put that 3 into the back of your book? Maybe you can’t 4 it when you need it. You are working so hard to 5 for a new bicycle. I don’t want you to lose your money. How about your piggy bank?”
Jamila nodded. “But it’s broken. So I 6 put-ting money in it. Some of the money I made is 7 a bottle on my desk. Some is in a box under the bed and I might also have a few 8 in my desk, I think.”
Mrs. Johnson said, “It seems it’s time for 9 to get a bank account（账户）. Do you want to go to the bank with me? It’ll still be 10 for another hour.”
Jamila jumped up. “Will the account be in my own name?” Jamila asked 11 .
“Of course,” answered her mom. “Why not go and see 12 you can find all the money you have placed around the house. You might be surprised by 13 you have when it’s all in one place.”
At the bank, the banking manager told Jamila that the 14 the money stayed in her account, the more interest（利息） it would be. Jamila was excited to 15 that she could make more money just by keeping her money in a saving account.

二、阅读理解（20分）（2017·嵊州模拟）
It is every kid’s most terrible dream and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it—twice. First he lost his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep.
“I tried and I tried and I tried to get her awake—but I couldn’t,” said Jaden. Jaden is understandably heartbroken.
“Anybody can die, just anybody,” he said. But there’s another side to his sadness. A side he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt, and now guardian（监护人）, Barbara DiCola, that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. And he had a plan to fix it.
“And that was the beginning of it,” said Barbara. “That’s where the adventure
8
began.” Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a bag of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah, Georgia near where he lives, so he could give them away.
“I’m trying to make people smile,” said Jaden. Jaden aims at the people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around. He’s gone out on four different occasions（场合） now and he is always successful. Even if sometimes he doesn’t get exactly the reaction he was hoping for. It is just so shocking to some people that a six-year-old orphan（孤儿） would give away a toy—expecting nothing in return—except a smile.
Of course he is paid handsomely in hugs—and his aunt says the reactions have done wonders for Jaden. “It’s like great joy came out of this child,” said Barbara. “But I’m still sad my mom died,” Jaden said. This is by no means a fix, but in the smiles he’s made so far—nearly 500 at last count—Jaden has clearly found a purpose. “I’m counting on it to be 33,000,” said Jaden. When asked if he thought he can make that goal（目标）, he answered, “I think I can.” I think he just did.
（ ）1. Jaden broke his heart when__________ .
A. he got nothing in return
B. he was sick in hospital
C. his mother suddenly died
D. he hasn’t made his goal
（ ）2. The underlined words “turns their day around” most probably mean “__________”.
A. cheers people up
B. tests people’s reactions
C. thanks Jaden in return
8
D. changes people’s daily life
（ ）3. It can be learned from the passage that__________ .
A. Jaden’s aunt has paid him at least 500 hugs so far
B. Jaden’s purpose is to visit 33,000 people with smiles
C. Jaden became an orphan when he was four years old
D. a six-year-old orphan gave away a toy just for a smile
（ ）4. From the story, we can learn Jaden is a__________boy.
A. shy B. brave C. clever D. lucky

Dear Sam,
I’m writing to tell you about my next teaching plan. You’re going to learn how to make some traditional arts. Firstly, lanterns are made of bamboo and covered with paper. Inside it there is a candle. They’re seen as bright symbols of happiness

and good wishes. Secondly, paper cutting is made of red paper. We fold the paper before it is cut with scissors and we use glue to stick it on the window. Thirdly, Chinese clay art pieces are shaped by hands from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. They show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
Remember to take all the materials. I look forward to teaching you!
Yours,
Li Hua
