14、More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle(丛林).He walked around, showing off his power and pride.
Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬)before him.
One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion's huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. "How dare you wake me up! " he shouted angrily. Lion hunted Mouse with one paw. "On the second thought, I'm in the mood for the snack, and you'll make a delicious meal." he said.
Mouse cried out, "King Lion, please spare me! If you let me live, I'll always remember your kindness. And, some day, I
might be able to help you."
"How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the
way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net. The net scooped(兜接)him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't run away.
When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咀嚼) through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse."Thank you for saving my life," said Lion ,smiling his widest smile," I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!" 1．What did Lion do each day?

B．Because he took Mouse as his good friend.
C．Because he doubted if Mouse could be of any help.
D．Because he believed Mouse could save him.

15、The other day I came across a few local musicians and happened to hear them talking:
"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can't even understand a bit of music."
"I'm never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us."
But one younger musician said, "There are a few clubs that book my band (乐队) a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking forward to booking a few summer festivals this year."
It's said that you are the average (平均) of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way,
you are who your friends are.
Attitudes（态度）are important. Whether they're positive(积极的)or negative (消极的),_____________If you're always around people who complain about short of work and about other musicians or say bad words about others, and you play the role of a victim, it's possible that you will start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends", as what kind of friends you have decides what kind of life you are going to live.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you often go out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it and learn from them. Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
1．The musicians' words at the beginning are written mainly to show_______.
A．the musicians live a poor life

D．come to the right way of making friends
4．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．Y ou are who your friends are.
B．How to make friendship long.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D．Friends are the most important in one's success.

16、The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stores, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher edits（编辑）my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.
For English class, we're reading The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton. As a pre-reading task, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com.
For a geography task on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kind of fish live in it.
I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy （经济）. For example, the river's trade paths, the number of fish caught in it, and the tourists it attracts directly influence Southerners' jobs and incomes （收入）.
I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn't always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazine I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias （百科全书）also save time.
Sometimes, I think the computer spoils young people because its so easy---at least physically. But computer's are
not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast.
1．When writing book reports, the computer can help the writer .
A．call his teacher to edit his work.
B．go back home and review his work
C．rewrite his work and correct his mistakes
D．store his work and check his spelling mistakes
2．The writer probably agrees that .
A．a teacher's work is much easier than before
B．English and geography are the most important subjects
C．computers are better than TV for not doing the thinking for us
D．students should use computer less and do more exercise every day
3．What's the passage mainly about?
A．Teenagers and computers.
B．School subjects and computers.
C．Use of computers in teenagers' studies.
D．The advantages and disadvantages of computers.

17、At school，besides cheating on a test，a kid might cheat in other ways．They might steal someone else's idea for a science project，or copy a book report from the Internet and hand it in as if it's his or her work．Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways．When people cheat，it's not fair to other people，like the kids who study for the test or who are the true winners of a game．
Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating．Even though there seems to be a"good reason"for cheating，cheating isn't a good idea．
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test need to talk with the teacher or another grown-up．They can find some ways to help solve this problem．Talking about the problem and working it out will make him or her feel better than cheating．
Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught．Whether they are caught or not，these kids may feel guilty or embarrassed．Even if they feel fine or don't get caught，that doesn't mean it's OK．
There's an old saying that cheaters never win and winners never cheat．This may sound difficult to understand，because sometimes it seems like cheaters do win---at least for the moment．However，sooner or later，they'll pay the price．It's just a matter of time only．And kids who don't cheat are true winners because，when they win，they do it honestly．
1．What does Paragraph3 mainly talk about？______
