AHaving Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?Recently, an Interact game has become a new fashion among youngoffice workers and students. People can “farm”on a piece of “land” and“grow”, “sell” or even “steal”“vegetables”, “flowers”,and “fruits” on theNet. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets”, and even“houses”.Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.Harold: I don’t quite understand why they are so mad a bout the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.Allan: I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for (渴望) the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure (压力); besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”. Ivy: Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on (专注于) their study.26. According to the passage, people can’t ________ things in this game.A. growB. borrowC. stealD. sell27. Among the people Joyce interviewed, _____ likes the game while _______ dislikes the game.A. Laura; AllanB. Allan; HaroldC. Harold; IvyD. Ivy; Allan28. From Laura’s words, we can guess that she’s most probably ________.A. a studentB. an office workerC. a farmerD. a thief29.

In a science book.BDear Amy,I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering(康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver(肝脏）matched yours! This is really a moving story—a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about over weight(超重). I’m happy you stopped taking those weight-loss pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good—exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese—many people are always going on diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.Love,×××31. Who does “a girl” in the letter refer to?A. The writer of the letter.B. Amy.C. A stranger.D. An unknown person.32. Which country is the writer of the letter from?A. America.B. China.C. Germany.D. England.33. Which is the correct order of the following?a.

We can infer(推测) from the letter that Amy is ________at the moment.A. recoveringB. an actressC. slimD. in AmericaCIf you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t earn your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology (技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.36.

From the passage we know that ________.A. parents won’t let their children earn their own moneyB. it’s hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in th e USAC. kids can learn skills if they try to earn money on their ownD. if kids try to earn money, they won’t have enough time to studyDLadies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine.

This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth’s water and air, but most people did not change their ways of life.

Terrible wars (战争) broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet inspace where humans could live.By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our spaceships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.So, it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.41.
