There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon the whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade. The school is a long way from the town and before the fire brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. Therefore, the master became very angry with me.

Much love

An eight-year-old girl heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman.
“It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” said the girl.
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an opera tion. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more.” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)? Around the holidays, many families don't consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home. Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!”like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器). Don't leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than have someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.
Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don't know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.
This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored (监控) by a professional home security system.
66. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday.
B. to let the outdoor lights on all the time.
C. to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays.
D. to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet.
67. If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should .
A. be kept on all the night
B. be turned on in a random way
C. be replaced by random timers
D. be turned on only once a day
68. To make sure your home is truly protected, what does the writer advise you to do?
A. Have all the curtains closed.
B. Stop your mail service at once.
C. Turn to your close neighbors or friends.
D. Equip your home with a security system.
69. Most of the tips mentioned in the text seem to .
A. be very popular with families
B. give a false impression on thefts.

D
You either have it, or you don’t --- a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven years old have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alo ne or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Marland also said that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Pay attention to landmarks on the route (路线) as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
71. Scientists believe that ________.
some babies are born with a sense of direction
people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
people never lose their sense of direction
everybody has a sense of direction from birth
72. What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?
A. They never have a sense of direction without maps.
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they don’t have a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.
73. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ______.
tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen
draw a map of the route to help remember where it is
not take the same route when you come back to it
remember something easily recognized on the route
74. According to the last paragraph, the best way to find your direction is to ______.
ask policemen for directions
use walls, streams, and streets to guide you
remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs
count the number of landmarks that you see
75. What is the main idea of this passage?
Children has a better sense of direction
Children have the ability to find their way around
The ways to improve a sense of direction
Everyone is born with a sense of direction and it can be improved

What festivals should Chinese celebrate?
Recently our class had a heated discussion on what festivals should be celebrated in China. Some students think it’s good to celebrate Chinese festivals, such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-autumn Festival. In their opinion, celebrating these festivals helps us to keep Chinese traditional culture alive. Besides, they can give foreigners a chance to have a better understanding of China. However, other students say we shouldn’t only celebrate Chinese festivals because it’s a fashion to celebrate foreign festivals. By celebrating foreign festivals, we can enjoy the happiness and pleasure that the festivals bring to us.。
