Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
When to arrive?
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you , you need to get on time. If your friend tells you to come around 3.00 p.m., that means you can get there a little later after 3.00 p.m. But usually it is a good thing to arrive at the right time.
What to bring?
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet?
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. This will show them more respect (尊重) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and they will invite you again.
49. The passage mainly tells us ___________.
A. when to arrive at your friend’s house B. how to greet your friend’s parents
C. what to bring to your friend D. how to be a good visitor
50. Which one is not true according to the article?
10
A. Bring something is nice if you want to go to your friend’s house.
B. It’s polite to call your friend’s parents madam or sir.
C. You don’t have to tell your friend’s parents who you are.
D. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and they will invite you again.
51. The passage may be from __________.

C
Childhood(童年) is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and- seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games.
A recent survey(调查) found that in the USA, children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or “gaming”. Boys of this age spend even more rime, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.
One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have problems communicating(沟通,交际) with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving (解决) problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer.
Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.
Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, _________▲___________.
Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted (成瘾). Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!
This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.
52. Children of 8 to 12 in America spend at least___________ hours a week playing video games.
A. 13 B. 16 C.28 D. 50
53. How many problems about playing video games are mentioned in the passage ?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
54. Which of the following is the right sentence for the blank (空白处) in Paragraph 5 ?
A. they might be weak in their subjects at school B. they might lose their friends
C. they might stop playing games D they might become ill
55. What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. Video gaming is good for people.
B. Video gaming might be a dangerous thing.
C. Childhood is a time of fun and games.
D. Children should learn how to get along with others.

Today my mum took me to a new show at the museum near the park. I was surprised to find that it was a show of different kinds of clothes. Mum knows how much I love fashion—I buy fashion magazines every week and even try to design clothes myself. There were clothes from 20 different countries. As well as modern clothes, there were examples of things people wore hundreds of years ago. I could not believe that people often wore those uncomfortable
10
things, such as large black hats and heavy coats from the UK, or wooden shoes from Holland. The show will run for one more week—I might go back next weekend with my friends and have another look!
