Green means to go.Animals come in all kinds of colors.Many of these are very p　6　.An animal’s color may help the animal to h　7　.Some animals can make their color look like w　8　is around them.Then they can’t be s　9　.Some people can’t tell one color from another.They can see yellow and blue.But they can’t tell red from green.We say these people are color⁃b　10　.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. (三)When you are a teenager(青少年),it seems that every time you say, I want to...”,your par⁃ents answer, No,you can’t.”Young people further complain(进一步抱怨)that their p　1　do not un⁃derstand them.When something i　2　wrong,most parents just don’t believe in their children.Without a　3　why,they think their kids are wrong.And not many parents allow their kids to choose things for t　4　.Yes,it is true that your parents sometimes treat(对待)you a　5　a little child. But remember that not long ago you w　6　really a child.Your parents still remember the childish (幼稚的)mistakes you used to m　7　.They want to protect(保护)you though you don’t want them to do so.So,if you want to get m　8　freedom(自由)than before,please try to understand your parents and don’t lie(说谎)to them.Try a more friendly way.If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, All the o　9　kids can stay out late.”Tell them as much as p　10　about what you want to do and where you’ll be and why it’s important for you to stay out late.Then they just might say, Yes.”1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. (四)Where did you go yesterday?Did you hear music at any of those places?Today most stores and restaurants play music.You might even hear music in an office o　1　on a farm. Scientists believe that music influences the way people b　2　.According to some scientists,the sound of western classical music(Mozart and Bach)makes people f　3　richer.When a restaurant plays classical music,people spend more money on food and drinks.When the restaurant plays m　4　music,people spend less money.With no background music,people spend e　5　less. Scientists also believe that loud,fast music makes people eat faster.People actually chew t　6　food faster when the music gets faster.Some restaurants play fast music d　7　their busy h　8　. This gets people to eat faster and leave quickly.Restaurants can make more money this way. Some scientists think that makes you think and learn better.They say that music helps students to be more alert.It is true that people learn better w　9　they are relaxed.And listening to music can help you relax.The next time you hear music somewhere,be careful.It might c　10　the way you behave. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

According to the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control,about350million Chinese smoke. Among　4　,50million are teenagers.Sun Jiangping of Beijing University said, Teenagers can get cigarettes　5　,especially when their parents smoke or shops　6　cigarettes to them.It’s very im⁃portant　7　parents to help their children stop smoking.”A15⁃year⁃old boy named Li Kun from Beijing said his　8　didn’t smoke.Because they thought smoking could make people feel badly ill,they only allowed him to play with friends without smoking.Living in such a good family helped Li say　9　to cigarettes.Some of his smoking classmates once told Li that smoking made boys look　10　,but Li disagreed.He said, Smoking isunhealthy and it’s not cool at all.Please stop smoking now!”1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. (六)The story happened during the Second World War.A70⁃year⁃old man lived in a small town of German.His three sons all worked in the same factory where he　1　(work).After the war had begun,all his sons　2　(make)to join the army and they all died in the fights.The old man was very sad.In the days that　3　(follow),he didn’t have enough food and was often hungry.And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on　4　(live).It was becom⁃ing colder and colder.　5　(find)a way out,he had to beg from door to door.He had been to a lot of places and knew a lot.Once he came to a village,but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything.He was too hungry　6　(go)to another village.Suddenly he saw a policeman　7　(stand)in the street and an idea came to his mind.He then shouted out, Hitler is a pig!”As he hoped,the old man was now enjoying some bread and a cup of hot tea　8　(give)by the policeman. Don’t say so in our village,sir!”the policeman said after a while. I’m sorry,sir,”said the old man. I　9　(not say)that again.I didn’t know it　10　(be)Hitler’s hometown.” No, no,sir,”the policeman said in a hurry. It’s a pig’s hometown.”1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. (七)Young people are the future masters of the country.Being a youth is one thing,and being a good one is a　1　.Everyone tries to be good,b　2　not everyone has the right idea about it.Age will test youth,and youth will create age.Because we’ll have heavy responsibilities(责任)upon our shoulders in future,how can we do our duty to the utmost(极度的)?How can we not be defeated by age?We must educate ourselves to be good.What are the qualifications(素质)for a good young person?A good youth should have these qualities:F　3　of all,health,a healthy body is the best riches. W　4　it,nothing can be done well.If you are poor in health,you’ll have to take m　5　day after day.Even you can’t work,do sports and so on;Secondly,one must be of good quality.Always do something for others.Help those in t　6　and care about the people around you.If everyone did the same,what a wonderful world this would be!Thirdly,one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation(合作)and communication are two important keys to better human relations.Everyone n　7　friends because no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to. Besides the examples above,patriotism(爱国主义)is the one we should never forget.Patriotism means a love of one’s country.It is one of the h　8　qualities of humans.Everyone should love his o　9　country.But people sometimes think that patriots(爱国者)must be fighters or that they live in a time of fighting for their country.That is wrong.A good youth’s work is not only fighting.A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art.If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others,then people will live b　10　and enjoy more.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

(九)There are six letters forming a word that means the world to us. M”is for millions of things she gives us; O”shows she is g　1　old; T”is for the tears she has cried while bringing us up; H”is for her heart of gold; E”is for her eyes shining with love;and R”means right and she’ll always be right!Put them together,and they s　2 MOTHER”.Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May.It is a public e　3　of our love and respect for all the mothers of the world.The festival dates back to the ancient Greeks who worshipped Rhea,the Mother of the Gods.
