Do you want to know something about children in Africa? Find out here.
Education
School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can’t afford school uniforms or exercise books even though (即使) they don’t have to pay for school. For those lucky enough to go to school, they have a lot to learn. Some take two language classes: English or French, and their first language. There is also Maths, Science, History, Social Studies and Geography. Chores take up much of children’s time after school. They have to get water and firewood for their families every day. Also there is cleaning, washing and helping with the meal.
Daily fun
It’s not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Children can make goals (球门) with twigs (嫩树枝) and their own footballs with plastic (塑料) and bits of string (绳子). They play in the country and the streets of old towns. There are many football teams for teenagers in Africa.

Everyone needs friends. As the old saying goes, “Friendship is one mind in two bodies.” But how can you find a real friendship and keep it? The Care and Keeping of Friends written by American author Nadine Bernard Westcott tells young students some smart ways to find friends.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks.
A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should do his or her best to help you. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, you can have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk with you, you may write a letter. Nadine says there are three steps about being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling, say what yo have done wrong, and explain why you did this or that.
The book also gives advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friend’s success. Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think about having one if you read this book, because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
53．A good friend should ________.
A．have a lot of money B．be good-looking C．be kind and patient
D．be successful
54．You can take ________ steps to fix a broken friendship.
A．2B．3C．4D．5
55．What can’t you do if your good friend has done wrong?
A．Write a letter to him or her.B．Have an honest talk with him or her.
C．Tell him or her how you feel.D．Have a fight with him or her.
56．The writer of the passage really wants to tell us ________.
A．life is great if you have friends B．an old saying
C．Nadine is an American writer D．what makes a good friend
Yesterday I was shopping for a few items (商品). My son just left university. With nothing to do at home, he was ready to go together with me.
As I pushed the basket towards the checkout (付款台), I checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might go to the Express Line. The sign there said, “Ten items or less”. I started to go to that line and my son said, “Mom, you have twelve items!” I said, “I know, but they’re close.” He said, “Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items.”
Knowing he was right, I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So I was waiting for my turn there and I was just taking my items out of the basket to pay for them when a young man came up behind me in the line with two items.
I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished. Again, my son came up. “Mom, he has only two items and the Express Line is very long now. Won’t you just let him go first?” I agreed, and the young man smiled widely and thanked me several times.
It felt good to be with my son and have him remind (提醒) me not to live a hurried life. Do what’s right and also be kind. I really take pride (骄傲) in him.
57．The mother checked ________ when she was pushing the basket towards the checkout.
A．what she bought B．what her son bought
C．how much money she had D．the number of the items she bought 58．The mother went to the Regular Line because ________.

C．she was in a hurry to get home D．she wanted to wait for her son
59．Which order is correct according to the story?
①prepare to take the items out of the basket
①let the young man behind go first
①walk towards the Express Line
①return to the Regular Line
A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①60．What did the mother learn from her son that day?

阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Friendships light up our lives. Everyone needs friends. 61 I have them because I am funny, honest and kind to everyone.
At school, my classmates and I often chat with each other after class. I like telling jokes to my friends. They always laugh and feel very happy with me. I feel happy too. 62
A true friend should be honest with his or her friends. If you lie to your friends, they won’t trust you any more. 63 Sometimes I have to tell white lies (善意的谎言) because I don’t want to hurt my friends’ feelings.
64 For example, I might lend a pen to my desk mate, but he breaks it accidentally (意外地). I won’t regret (后悔) lending the pen to him, because our class is like a big family. We should help each other. I won’t get angry either. 65 A smile costs nothing but is worth a lot. Maybe that is why my friends often say that I have a “heart of gold”.
Being a good friend to others is just as important as having good friends yourself. I am not perfect, but I am funny, honest and kind. That is why I have so many friends.
A．Kindness is important too.
B．I have many friends myself.
C．I find it hard to make friends.
D．In most situations (情况), I am honest with my friends.
E．I will smile and say “it’s OK” to him.
F．It’s important for us to be a good listener.
G．For me, happiness is the most important thing.
五、单词拼写

I have a lot of wonderful school life memories. Last month, some of my classmates and I
74 (take) part in a cheerleading (啦啦队) competition at our school art festival.
The autumn in Beijing was comfortable. It was a 75 (love) time to play in the playground after class. But we couldn’t. We chose to work for the competition. We spent a lot of time 76 (practise).

After weeks’ practice, we could do much 80 (well) than before!

What do you do when you are under stress (压力)? Schools in Georgia, US have a new way to help kids manage stress.
Last month, many Georgia schools started teaching students breathing (呼吸) exercises. Students do four-minute breathing exercises four times each day. They will do this for the next 40 school days. The exercises use deep breathing to help students become quiet.
In the exercise “Breath of joy”, for example, students stand up with their arms up at shoulder height and take a deep breath. In the exercise “Washing machine”, they twist (扭动) from side to side. “Wake up mountain” gets students up on their feet and reaching high. In the “Lotus breath”, they place their hands in front of their heart. Their hands should look like a lotus flower.
Fifth-grader Nahile Guzman said she enjoyed the exercises. She has even taught her family how to do them. “They help people feel more peaceful (平静的),”she said.
84．Why did Georgia schools start teaching students breathing exercises?
85．How often did students do the exercises?
86．How do you feel about the exercises? (可适当发挥，切合题意即可)
