Reading is an important activity for many Americans. Today, thousands of men, women and
children are members of groups to discuss the books they read.
No one knows how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs. Yet
publishers(发行人) and bookshops report that more and more throughout the United States are
joining the clubs.
Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same time. Then
they meet to talk about the book. Members may be friends or people who live near each other.
Or, they may be people who work together.
Book clubs may be for only women or only men. Or, they can be for husbands and wives
together. Some are family groups where parents attend with their children. Children may belong
to book clubs of their own.
Some book clubs in the United States are for husbands and wives. One woman says this is a
great idea for a book club. She says husbands and wives often talk to each other only about their
children, work, or money problems. "Talking about books," she says, "opens a whole new level
of communication."
American children belong to book clubs, too. They may be as young as four years old or as
old as eighteen. Some children's clubs get help from the Great Book Foundation (基金). This
educational organization provides lists of books to read. It also trains people to lead discussions
about the books.

Do you still get free plastic(塑料的) bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.
China has banned (禁止) free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to
pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1 last year. It came because our country tried
to make litter less. Making super-thin (超薄) plastic bags has also been banned.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have
caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution
because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese
people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.
What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good
idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send
them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead
of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.
( )63. People in China have to _____ now.
A. throw plastic bags here and there
B. collect plastic bags in the street
C. pay for using plastic bags at shops and supermarkets
D. use free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets

B. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.
C. Some students in Chongqing begin to make their own shopping bags.
D. To protect the environment, free plastic bags have been banned in China.

If you ask about the hottest star in South Korea this year, you will certainly hear the name
Rain. The 22-year-old singer is powerful and energetic on stage. His dances and voice are great!
On December 18, Rain and other Korean stars, including Baby V, O, X and As One, amazed
their fans at the concert “Night of Love” in Beijing. “I love his small eyes and good build(体
格),” Said Hanna Kim, 12, a Korean girl who studies in China, “He’s a nice person.”
Rain’s real name is Jung Ji Hoon(郑智薰). His music teacher thinks his eyes are wet and
smiles are sunny. He wrote lots of the songs on his first CD during rainy days. So his teacher
gave him the name Rain.
When he was a child, he liked to be quiet. He wasn’t good at studying. So no one noticed
this tall boy in class. But he surprised his classmates in Grade Six. He danced for them all.
Everyone looked at him in a different way. So he began to dance more. “I enjoy dancing,” he
said. Rain really wanted to sing and dance. He worked hard at school, so that his father would let
him dance. He gave up rugby(橄榄球) and put all his time and energy into dancing. When his
mother died four years ago, he held the sadness in and kept on practising day and night.
Now Rain has won awards with his music. His CDs have sold millions and he has acted in
TV shows. Rain doesn’t want to sing forever, though. He dreams of doing a different job. “When
I stop singing, I’d like to design clothes. Being a designer is my childhood(童年) dream,” he
said.
( )67. Whose does the word “his” in the sentence “I love his small eyes and good build …”
refer to(指)?
A. Rain’s. B. Baby V.O.X’s.
C. As One’s . D. Rain’s music teacher’s.
( )68. Why did Jung Ji Hoon get his name of Rain?
A. Because he liked rain.
B. Because he was born on a rainy day.
C. Because he was caught in a rain in his mother’s arms on the day when he was born.
D. Because many songs of his first CD were written by him during rainy days.
( )69. Rain began to attract others’ attention when .
A. he began to go to school B. he was twelve years old
C. he was in Grade Six D. his mother died
( )70. Rain also likes to be besides singing and dancing.
A. a rugby player B. a scientist
C. a clothes designer D. a salesman

六、任务型阅读(5 分)
It is reported that 300 million people in China have eyesight trouble. More and more
parents hope to save their children's eyesight with medicine, or by correcting the ways that
children read and sit. But in fact, one should start with the exercise on one's feet. Here are three
ways to save eyes:
First, don't tie your shoes too closely. Try wearing comfortable and soft socks or walking
without socks and shoes at home. While you are traveling, try wearing cloth shoes in order to
improve blood circulation(循环).
Second, walking on tiptoes is good for one's eyesight. It can fight against eyesight trouble.
Numbers show that most of ballet performers' eyesight is better.
Third, rope skipping(跳绳) can also be good for one's eyesight. While skipping rope, one has
to move quickly, making both the brain and the eyes excited. It may also help make one grow
taller.
Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one's ears. Pulling the ears 20 times quickly is also
a great way. It can keep one's eyes healthy.

Dear Editor,
I am a student in Grade Three. We have made a survey—"To whom you go when in
trouble". Here are the results. Most of the students will go to their classmates or friends when
they are in trouble because they are almost of the same age, they can talk with, communicate
with and understand each other easily. Some students will tall their teachers or parents about
their trouble as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much. They
can be trusted by these students. A few solve their problems all by themselves. They hate to talk
with others and can't get on well with others. They have few friends.
In my opinion, when in trouble we’d better ask our teachers, parents, friends or classmates
for help.
Yours
Sincerely,
Li Ping
