13、"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," said Jo.
"It's so terrible to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
"I don~t think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy. "We've got Father and Mother and each other," said Beth from her corner.
Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never", but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.
Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said, "You know the reason why Mother asked us not to have any presents this Christmas was that it is going to be a hard time for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering in the army."
"We've each got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to ask anything from Mother or you, but I do want to buy Undine and Sintram for myself; I've wanted it so long," said Jo, who was a bookworm.
"I planned to spend mine on new- music," said Beth.
"I shall get a nice box of drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy decidedly.
"Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we work hard enough to earn it," cried Jo.

Ukuleles(尤克里里)look like small guitars, but unlike guitars, they usually only have four strings. Ukuleles come from Hawaii(夏威夷)and make bright, happy sounds. They make people think of island vacations and summer days. Even though ukuleles come from Hawaii, they are now popular around the world. One of the reasons is because they are fun and easy to play.
Playing a ukulele may be easy, but making one is not. Ukuleles must be made step by step. First the head and neck are glued to the body. As soon as the glue is dry, the fingerboard is glued onto the neck. Once(一旦)that is dry, the ukulele maker sands the fingerboard to make it smooth.
Next, the bridge is glued onto the body. The bridge holds the strings and allows them to make sounds. After the bridge is in place, the ukulele can be painted and decorated. The next step is to connect tuning heads to the top of the ukulele. Then finally the strings are put on the instrument. Now a player can make music.
1．According to the article, what kind of music does a Ukulele make?
A．Sad music. B．Fun music. C．Difficult music. D．Unpopular music.
2．How is a Ukulele made according to the article?
A．In an easy way. B．Like a big guitar. C．In several steps. D．With some strings.

A．撒沙B．制作C．烘干D．打磨

Red, green and blue mix to create white light. This colour model is used in computer monitors, television sets and theaters.
Most artists recognize red, yellow and blue as the three basic primary colours. These primaries are the pure colours which cannot be created by mixing any other colours.
In the print industry, cyan (青色) , magenta ( 紫红色) , yellow and black are used as the primary colours. When you mix all the colours, the result is grey.

17、Have you ever been ill? When you are ill，you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work，you stay in bed，feeling very sad.

18、Leon was a postman. Every day after Leon woke up, he would feed his 37 cats. Leon didn’t really want 37 cats, but one by one they had turned up on his doorstep, and Leon had taken them in.
Every day, after feeding the cats, Leon would collect the mail from the red postboxes in the village and take it home to sort（分类）. “If only I had 37 helpers instead of 37 cats, my job would be so much easier,” Leon thought. Just then, the cats started meowing for their dinner. That gave Leon an idea. That night, Leon stayed up making 37 cat-sized postal backpacks. Each backpack fitted neatly onto a cat’s back. Then, he went around to each postbox, putting signs up t hat read: Postbox closed. Please use the Postal Cat Service.
The next day, Leon put a backpack on each cat and dropped off the cats around the village. Leon knew that the cats would be happy lazing around all day. He also knew that they would always come home for dinner. Leon spent the day relaxing, waiting for his helpers to return. Leon was right. The cats did return, but they did not bring home many letters. Somehow, the cats had managed to wriggle（蜿蜒而行）out of their backpacks. Or lose their letters. Or get the letters wet. “Cats are just too unreliable（不可靠的）” Leon thought. Just then, there was a scratching（刮擦声）at Leon’s door.

19、My Dear Friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn and the brighter our future will become.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games. It takes much of their spare time. So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let’s start reading now. And let it bec ome a part of our life! Thank you!。
