Both lizards had never-ending hope for each other and carried their hearts with love and care. Such love, a beautiful love!

Food is a major part of every culture. After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when.
Egypt
Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before th e day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.
Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.
France
France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.
The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers.

4.阅读下面的四篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装).
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation," as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.
But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore .
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will
never get another.
【1】 What was the little girl doing with her doll?
A．She was dressing up her doll.
B．She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie.
C．She was talking to her mother.
D．She was punishing her doll.
【2】How did mother feel when she heard the “conversation”?
A．Worried.B．Regretful.
C．Disappointed.D．Sad.
【3】What can we learn from this passage?
A．The mother shouldn’t blame her daughter.
B．The mother should spend enough time with her daughter.
C．The mother shouldn’t carry responsibilities that many.
D．The mother should pay attention to her daughter’s words.

Miss Dinsmore lived alone in a little gray house. “It’s a nice little house,” she said. “But I wish it looked more cheerful. Maybe I should paint it bright, pretty color. 【1】. She saw lots of cheerful colors there, but she didn’t know which color to choose.
Finally she got an idea. “I’ll paint picture after picture of my house with all these colorful colors. Then I’ll choose the one I like best.” Miss Dinsmore bought all the colors home. She painted a pink house.
【2】. She painted a red one and a yellow one. She painted one with flower boxes under the windows, and she painted...

五、其他
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Where can you get beauty, knowledge and insight(深刻的见解) all in one? The answer is probably a museum. There is a long list of benefits someone can get from going to a museum. However, the best part of museum is they encourage people to become lifelong learners.
Socrates once said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Each time you visit a museum, it could spark(激起) an interest in a field you might never have heard before. Every time we go through museum exhibits, we see something we didn’t know anything about. It enc ourages us to go home and look up more information.
To help students better understand what they have learned in schools, many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum(课程). For example, you may have learned about static(静电) in physics classes. But in a science museum, you can have a more hands-on experience of how amazing static can be. When you touch a big ball full of static electricity, all your hair stands up straight like an angry lion!
In the US, there is the New York Museum Education Act. It says that New York’s museums and schools should become partners to help students prepare for the 21st century. In China, the government asks more schools to organise more museum trips. Earlier this year, the popular travel website Trip Adviser asked its users to rank(评级)theirs favourite museums. They picked the top 25 museums in the world. The first three are: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,New York, US. Musee d’Orsay, Paris, France and the Art Institute of Chicago, US. The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warrior and Horses in Xi’an, Shanxi is the only Chinese museum on the list, which was ranked 23rd.
So come to the museums and there are lots of things to see.
【1】Can you get beauty, knowledge and insight in a museum?
【2】What’s the best part of museum？
【3】Why do many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum？
【4】In China, what does the government ask more schools to do?
【5】What is the passage mainly about？

4.阅读下面的四篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装).
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation," as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.
But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore .
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another.
【1】 What was the little girl doing with her doll?
