I sometimes feel left out with my friends at the party. What can I do? — Susan
Alice: Speak to your best friend before you arrive and ask her to make sure you don’t
get left out of the group. That way, she will know to include you in all the fun. Make
the effort to speak to some other people at the party. You might even make a new
friend or two.
Sometimes I think parties get boring and I want to go home! — Jenny
Alice: Even a great party will drag if you’re not enjoying yourself. Making the effort
to dance and have a chat with your friends will beat the boredom! You don’t have to
stay to the very end of the party.
Our school is having a Christmas dance party but I’m really shy. Shall I go or not? —
Emma

how you feel and make sure you’ll have people to dance with when the evening
comes. Practice some fun dances so you’ll feel comfortable on the dance floor.
Whenever I go to a party, my dad comes to pick me up at 8 pm. I always have to leave
earlier than the rest of my friends and I get really angry with my dad. — Anny

different rules from your friends but don’t worry too much — your friends are

The word “invent” comes from a Latin word which means “to find.” Garrett
Morgan, an African-American, was one such inventor. His first job was repairing
machines in a factory. By accident, he had invented the hair straightener. He sold his
products and then continued with his career as an inventor.
Every day, Garrett Morgan watched traffic become more dangerous. Cars,
bicycles and walkers all competed to cross the street. Police officers made simple
“stop / go” signals at busy crossroads, but cars, bicycles and walkers still rushed into
the crossroads at different speeds and many crashed into each other. One day he saw a
traffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads. he realized ,the
problem with the traffic light, was its poor design: the traffic signal lacked a transition
(过渡) between “stop” and “go.”
Morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a “caution ( 警 告 )” light that
made traffic move more smoothly and safely. His traffic light stood on a T-shaped pole ( 杆) with arms that flashed a red light to stop traffic in all directions, allowing
walkers to cross safely. After walkers crossed, traffic could only go in one direction.
Soon, cities everywhere wanted his traffic light. In 1923, a popular electric
company paid Morgan $40,000 to make and sell his invention. Traffic lights today
work in the same basic way.
The traffic light is Morgan’s most famous invention. In 1963, the United States
government gave Garrett Morgan an award for his life-saving idea.
5. What can we learn about Garrett Morgan from Paragraph 1?
A. He worked in a factory all his life. B. He led a hard life in his early years.
C. He made money from hair straighteners.
D. He dreamed of being an inventor when he was a child.
6. What made Morgan invent the traffic light?
A. A traffic accident. B. A car driver’s advice.
C. Worry about his safety. D. Hard work of police officers.
7. According to the text, Garrett Morgan’s traffic light _____.
A. made cars move more slowly B. needed no help from police officers
C. was special because it had a “caution” light
D. was very different from the ones we use today
C
Living on mountainous La Gomera, one of Spain’s Canary Islands off West
Africa, Juan Cabello takes pride in not using a mobile phone or the Internet to
communicate. Like his father and grandfather, he uses Silbo Gomero, a language that
is whistled (吹口哨), not spoken, and that can be heard more than two miles away.
“I use it for everything: to talk to my wife, to tell my kids something, to find a
friend if we get lost in a crowd,” Cabello says. “I also make a living from Silbo,
performing daily exhibitions at a restaurant.”People throughout La Gomera are known to have used Silbo in the past as a
way of communicating over long distances. A strong whistle saved farmers from
walking over the hills to give messages or news to neighbors. Then came the phone.
Nowadays, it’s hard to know how many people still use Silbo. In 1999, it was
introduced as a compulsory subject (必修学科) in La Gomera’s primary schools, in
an effort to prevent the language from going silent. Now 3,000 students are studying it,
but only a few people are believed to be able to communicate fully in the whistling
language.
“Silbo is said to be the most important cultural heritage (遗产) we have,” said
Moises Plasencia, the director of the Canary Islands’ government’s historical heritage
department.
In fact, little is known about Silbo’s origins. Silbo-like whistling has been found
in parts of Greece, Turkey, China and Mexico, but none is as developed as Silbo
Gomero. One study is looking for signs of Silbo in Venezuela, Cuba and Texas, all
places to which Gomerans have gone in the past during hard economic times.
“Silbo has many historical and linguistic (语言学上的) values,” Plasencia said.
And, as Cabello explains, “It’s good for just about anything except for romance:
everyone on the island would hear what you’re saying!”
8. Juan Cabello uses Silbo Gomero _____.
A. in his daily life B. to learn computers
C. just to make a living D. only when eating at restaurants
9. What can we learn about Silbo Gomero?
A. It first started in Greece. B. It is in danger of dying out.
C. It is helpful in keeping secrets. D. It is the oldest way of communicating.
10. Plasencia thinks it’s very important to _____.
A. know the origins of Silbo Gomero B. find the values of Silbo Gomero
C. have more cultural heritages D. protect Silbo Gomero11. What is mainly described in the text?
A. A school’s subject. B. A famous performer.
C. An unusual language. D. A mountainous island.
D
The Internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was
created many years ago. The only reason Internet sales are not taxed (征税) is because
we did not know the Internet would be used to sell products when it was
created. Internet sales are no different than going into the store to buy the exact same
product except for the fact that Internet sales are not taxed.
When buying online, people cannot see and touch the product the same way they
could in a store. To fix this, customers are going into the store to see the product.
Then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. This is
a form of tax evasion (逃税) if you ask me!
Everyone has to pay the tax in the store so they should have to pay taxes online
as well. Also, the added money brought in through Internet taxing could help the
government to fund (为……拨款) certain policies and other things that they could not
do without the added funds. This could go toward the country’s schools or other
things necessary for society to function well. These funds could be extremely
beneficial because of the recession (经济衰退) that the country is in at this point.
Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life
for all who live in that country.
In conclusion, there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over
taxing Internet sales. I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy
something online, but the funds stay within my society and help my country. The
added cost may hurt me at first but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our
country.
12. The text mainly discusses _____.
A. whether it is a good way to buy things onlineB. whether Internet sales should be taxed
C. why people love to buy things online
D. why Internet sales are not taxed
13. Internet sales are not taxed because _____.
A. selling online was unexpected B. they are different from store sales
C. people don’t know how to tax them D. many people are against taxing them
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Online shoppers find it difficult to buy satisfactory goods.
B. Customers get better products at a lower price online.
C. Problems related to online shopping are hard to fix.
D. Online shoppers probably try to avoid paying tax.
15. According to the author, taxing Internet sales _____.
A. is good for all people B. can help the country out of the recession
C. can help improve the quality of products
D. is beneficial to the development of Internet
