So he made a promise, "If someone finds my wallet and returns it to me, I'll give half the money to him." A dustman found the wallet in a dustbin. He sent it back to the loser. But the businessman changed his mind."There was still a diamond ring in my wallet," said the loser, "I won't give half the money in my wallet to you until you return it to me!""I've never seen a diamond ring in the wallet," said the dustman.They began to quarrel. The businessman refused to do what he had said. The dustman became angry and took him before a judge.After the judge heard what had happened to them, he said to the businessman, "I'm sure you are an honest man. It's true that you have lost a wallet in which there was a diamond ring. But it's also clear that there is only a lot of money in this wallet. I don't think it's yours. Wait for some time. Perhaps someone will be able to return your wallet to you!"Then the judge turned to the dustman and said, "Take the wallet home.

This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.You have to give a speech, and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble（结巴的说话）over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up！It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m54.

Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effort than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce other meals.57. The title of the passage should be ______.A. the importance of breakfast        B. the result of a test.C. breakfast will make you clever    D. breakfast is more important than other meals58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Poor breakfast affects those who work with brains.B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight-losing.D. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.59. During the test, those who were tested were given________.A. no breakfast at all      B. very rich breakfast.C. little food for breakfast  D. different foods or none.60. The results of the test show that_________.A. breakfast has a great effect on a person’s work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person’s workC. a person will work better if he has simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast四、单词拼写：（每题1分；共10分）61.

Most of us (about 70%) think we should know our parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn/ make. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.   About 30% of our classmates think it unnecessary to let children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said, especially when parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m                                                Yours truly,                                                 Li Hua
