I was driving in my car the other day. The sun was out, the radio was playing, and I was singing along. The song was a
happy one and even my weak voice sounded good singing it. Then it happened, however. The sweet sound of the music
ended and the news break began.
I drove on while the news started. Gas prices were getting high again. The race for the presidency was getting worse and
worse. Fights broke out when the fans of a sports team went wild while celebrating their team’ s win.
Finally, I could take no more and turned off the radio. I preferred staying in silence to listening to anything else about the
crazy, competitive society we live in. I slowed down as I entered a town and watched the people as I drove by.
A man was helping an elderly lady out of a car and helping her place her walker so she could go into store.
A smiling woman was throwing some corns into her backyard while lots of birds flew down to enjoy the food before
them.
A young man was walking along, carrying his 2-year-old daughter safely in his arms. He tickled her gently
when she pulled the hat off his head and they both laughed. I laughed too as I looked at all of his kindness.
Although the music was off, I felt my heart singing.
In truth, this world could use a little more kindness and a lot less competition. Kindness makes us all winners in
life and shows us that we don’ t have to beat others all the time.
51. Why did the writer turn off the radio?
A. Because he couldn’ t stand all the bad news.
B. Because he preferred silence over sound.
C. Because he was driving into a town.

53.The writer noticed that the town was full of _______.
A. competition B.love and laughter C.old people and kids
54. The writer suggests that we should ________.

What’s a spacewalk? Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft (航天器) while in space, it is called a
spacewalk. Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. For example, experiments can be placed on the
outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects ( 影响) different things. By going
on spacewalks, astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix.
When astronauts go on spacewalks, they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe. Inside spacesuits, astronauts
have the oxygen (氧气) they need to breathe and the water they need to drink. To keep the astronauts and the
spacecraft safe, the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door. When on a
spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft. Tethers are like ropes, connect the
spacewalkers with the spacecraft. They keep astronauts from floating (漂浮) away into space. Another way
astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER. SAFER is worn like a backpack. It helps an
astronaut move around in space.
How do astronauts train for spacewalks? One way is by going for a swim. Floating in space is a lot like floating
in water. Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they 4
will spend on a spacewalk, astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a
spacewalk is by using virtual reality(虚拟现实). It looks and feels just like a spacewalk.
Today, only three countries have finished spacewalks independently. They are Russia, the United States and China. The
first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia. Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese
astronaut to go on a spacewalk. The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev. He has
been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space.
56. About the spacewalk, we can know ____________.
A. some things can be fixed by astronauts during spacewalks
B. all experiments must be placed on the outside of a spacecraft
C. an astronaut can get out of a spacecraft any time while in space
57.Why does an astronaut wear spacesuits on spacewalks?
A. It keeps an astronaut from floating away into space.
B. It helps an astronaut move around in space.
C. It helps an astronaut have the oxygen to breathe and the water to drink.
58.What does the underline word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. spacewalkers B. tethers C. spaceship
59.Astronauts train for spacewalks by _________.
A. floating in space B. using virtual reality C. training in water in a common swimming pool
60.How long has Anatoly Solovyev spent outside in space?
A. 16hours B. more than 80 hours C. more than 82 hours

Reading is fun! Besides for fun,we can also analyze (分析) texts to learn more from the texts and more about the texts.
One way we can do this is by finding out the theme of the texts.
61.The theme of a text is the "big idea" that runs through the text,connecting the characters and events. It
is what the writer wants to tell us through the story. Usually the theme of a text isn't told directly,you have
to use clues (线索) in the text to find it out. 62.Themes can be ideas like family, friendship,love and so on.
The theme might not be just one word,but it might be an idea such as "Friendship is important." There
may also be more than one theme in a story. 63.我们怎样才能找出文本的主题呢? The following steps
may help you.
Read through the whole text. Usually characters change as the story goes on,so the theme you get at the
beginning might not be true at the end! For this reason,you need to read through the whole text first.
Find out the clue. after reading the whole text,try to answer the following questions. What important
events happened during the story? What was the problem? How did the problem get solved? How did the
character(s) change? What did the character(s) learn? The answers may help you to get the clues.
Get the big idea. 64.Read again for the writer's purpose of the text by answering the following
questions. Was most of the plot(情节) around friendship? Did the characters solve problems with
their families? Did the main character learn the importance of friendship? 65.如果你的一个答案
为“是”, 你就可能获得了它。
Have you got the way to find out the theme of a text? Get your favorite book quickly and see if
you can find the theme out!
