“Let’s take a taxi.”We may say or hear it anywhere. It’s convenient for us to take a taxi now. Here is an interesting story about taxi.
On a spring night of 1907, a young man named Alan went to see an opera in New York with his girlfriend. After the opera, they talked about it happily, then they left the theater. Alan wanted to go home in a carriage(马车)because he didn’t drive his car and it was too late. It was only half a mile from his home and the normal price should be about 10 dollars. But to his surprise, he was told to pay 100 dollars! It was unexpected and Alan got angry. He argued with the man who drove the carriage and they had a fight. Unluckily, Alan was beaten badly and he had to go home on foot with his girlfriend.
After that, Alan came up with an idea. He asked one of his friends to make a special clock. The clock could show how far a man drove and how long it took. Alan put this clock in his own car and named his car “taxi”.
Then he drove his taxi to help people go to different places. He started his new business.
1.Alan and his girlfriend went to see an opera in a carriage.
答案:F
解析:由第二段前三句可知,艾伦和他的女朋友是看完歌剧回家时坐的马车,而不是去看歌剧时坐的马车。所以本题的表述是错误的。
2.ThepriceoftheridewasfarmoreexpensivethanAlanthought.
答案:T
解析:由第二段第四至第六句可知,从艾伦家到剧院一般需要10美元,但是车夫却要100美元,所以这个价格大大超出了艾伦的预料。所以本题的表述正确。
3.Alanfeltitwasunfairtopaysomuchmoney.
答案:T
解析:由艾伦跟车夫打架可知他觉得付那么多车费不公平。所以本题的表述正确。
4.AfriendofAlanputthespecialclockinthecarriage.
答案:F
解析:由第三段最后一句“Alanputthisclockinhisowncarandnamedhiscar‘taxi’.”可知是艾伦自己把这个特殊的表放到马车上的,而不是他的朋友放的。所以本题的表述错误。
5.Alanusedhistaxitodobusiness.
答案:T
5
解析:由最后一段可知,艾伦用他的出租车做起了生意。

The spring season brings warm weather, flowers and other changes for people to enjoy. For some restaurant cooks, the most exciting spring arrival is ramps.
Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America. They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring, usually between April and May. They are recognized(识别) by their red stem(茎), and two long and wide green leaves. They are also famous for their strong taste, similar to onions(洋葱).
Ramps are not as well-known as other vegetables, but they have a long history in the United States. In the Appalachian Mountains, ramps have been an important food for a long time. During spring, it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community.
However, over the last 30 years, ramps’ popularity has grown quickly. They are now a highly-desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D.C.
One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild. It is difficult to grow them on farms. Most restaurants get them from foragers, who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where they grow. Ramps have a short season. Within a few weeks of full growth, the plant is done for the year. This short life is some reason for their popularity.
And that popularity could lead to their disappearance from Earth. In 1995, the local government in Quebec, Canada, stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over-dug.
The season is short, but it has not ended yet. If you are in the right place, you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself.
1.Why are ramps so popular in North America?
A.Because they grow in spring.
B.Because they have a good taste.
C.Because they are hard to get.
D.Because they have a long history.
答案:C
2.Which of the following is the picture of a ramp?
答案:D
5
3.What does the word “they” refer to(指的是)?
A.foragers B.ramps
C.customers D.restaurants
答案:B
4.Why were people stopped from selling ramps to businesses?
A.Because ramps were in great danger.
B.Because ramps’ smell polluted the air.
C.Because it cost too much to grow ramps.
D.Because the government wanted to make money.
答案:A
5.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Americans go crazy for ramps in the spring
B.Americans have discovered a new vegetable
C.Ramps were once popular in North America
D.Ramps will soon be enjoyed all over the world
答案:A

Howtodealwithhomesickness
When you sleep somewhere else, like at a summer camp or a friend’s house, you know you’re there for a fun time. But for some kids, when they are away from home they feel sad. They start to miss their own beds, their own parents, and all the things at home. It’s called being homesick (想家的). Do you want to feel less homesick? Here’s how:
Spend more time in doing fun things. The more fun things you do, the less time you’ll have to feel homesick. So try to take part in activities and soon you might start to have a good time.
You can make a plan to call your mum or dad. For a night visit, maybe you can call once that night, and again in the morning. In the camp, you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home. You can also send e-mails or short messages to keep in touch (保持联系) with your family and friends. If you’re going to be away for a while, you might even write a letter! When you get in touch with someone, make sure to tell them about the fun things you’re doing!
Sometimes, just tell someone that you’re feeling homesick. This will help you feel better. Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick. And the two of you can do something fun, such as telling jokes. If you’re at a camp, a camp counselor (顾问) would be a good person to talk to. He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.
