Grandparents are sources of extra dollars, hearty hugs. There9s a long history of literary grandparents— passing down wisdom, sharing adventures, being eaten by wolves. Here are a few of our very favorite grandparents from some of our very favorite kids' books.
Hippie Grandmother (from My Hippie Grandmother by Reeve Lindbergh)
This grandma is a wonderful reminder that not all grandparents grew up during the Great Depression. Grandparents come from a wide variety of backgrounds and time periods, so it's fun to celebrate a grandmother who "hasn't cut her hair at all since 1969.,9
Uncle Alp (of Heidi by Johanna Spyri)
This children's classic, originally published in 1881, actually has a surprisingly progressive attitude towards
grandparents.
Throughout Spyri's text, grandparents act as caregivers, and the transformation of Heidi's grandpa, Uncle Alp, from a bad-tempered hermit (隐士) to a loving parent figure is the emotional core of the book.
Grannie (of Red Riding Hood retold by James Marshall)
Red Riding's poor Grannie might be the most famous grandparent. Red was able to see past the wolf's trick, but her grandmother's fate depends on what version of the tale you read. If you prefer your grandmothers undigested, you'll love this classic tale told by James Marshall.
Nana (of Last Stop on Market Street by Matt De La Pena)
Young CJ and his Nana are waiting for the bus after church one Sunday, and CJ starts wondering why they have to take the bus, why he doesn't have as many toys as other kids, and why they live in a "dirty“ part of town. His Nana addresses each question with patience and grace, helping her grandson understand inequality with the kind of insights.
3. Who describes a child that always shows curiosity about the world around?
A. Reeve Lindbergh.
B. Johanna Spyri.
C. James Marshall.

It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I . German, British, and French soldiers already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and fraternized （打得火热）with “the enemy^^ along two-thirds of the Western Front. German troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches （战壕）with signs, “Merry Christmas.
“You no shoot, we no shoot." Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man's land filled with dead bodies. They sang Christmas carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared rations, played football, and even roasted some pigs. Soldiers embraced （拥抱）men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if the Generals （将军）forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.
It shocked the high command on either side. Here was disaster in the making: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals on both sides declared this peacemaking to be wrong. Fifteen million would be killed.
Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce. On Christmas Day, 1988, a story in the Boston Globe mentioned that a local FM radio host played "Christmas in the Trenches^^ several times and was surprised by the effect. The song became the most requested recording during the h olidays in Boston on several FM stations. “Some callers even telephone the host deeply moved, sometimes in tears, asking, "What the hell did I just hear?'"
You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It gives us a glimpse of the world as we wish it could be and says, “This really happened once." It reminds us of those thoughts we keep hidden away, ou of range of the TV and newspaper stories that tell us how trivial （微缺乏道的）and mean human life is. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really could be different.
8.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Troops celebrated their victories.
B. Generals forced their army to fight back.
C. Soldiers made peace with their enemies.
D. Soldiers decided to give in to their enemies.
9.What would the soldiers, actions result in according to the passage?
A. A fierce war.
B. Many deaths.
C. A peaceful world.
D. Many heroes.
10.Why were the callers in tears?
A. They experienced the war.
B. They lost loved ones in the war.
C. They valued the life in peace.
D. They desired to protect their motherland.
11.What do the TV and newspaper stories probably convey?
A. Being against wars.
B. Cherishing today's happiness.
C. Remembering heroes.
D. Showing no respect for life.

The Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results. They tested different models to re-check their information. But all returned the same. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of
its surface water since 1991.
Evaporation （蒸发）is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources. This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands. But the scientists believe something else is happening.
Experts have warmed human activity is affecting the world's weather patterns. It is causing extreme events to happen more often, such as severe droughts and floods. The cutting and burning of forest and the building of large hydroelectric factories and dams for watering crops all affect natural patterns.
In BraziPs Amazon rainforest, water evaporates then travels on air flows to provide rainfall far away. But some climate experts say if too much forest is destroyed, the Amazon will start an irreparable process of becoming a savannah （大草原）.
There are more immediate effects for worry, like possible power shortages this year. Hydroelectric reservoirs have had ten years of lower-than-usual rainfall. Reservoirs in the Parana River area have never before been overused.
The Parana River and its connected water bodies supply fresh water to some 40 million people. That includes the large city of Sao Paolo and several states. Fishing communities and farmers also depend on these water bodies.
BraziPs decreasing water resources may also worsen fires that people set each winter to clear land. The fires then bum out of control. Last year, more than 25 percent of BraziPs Pantanal was on fire. It was the worst yearly damage since officials began keeping records in 2003. In areas without roads, moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels, Rabelo said. That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires. And, even if they can, less water is available to put them out.
12.What was the Brazilian scientists9 reaction to their findings?
A.Satisfied.
B.Disappointed.
C. Shocked.
D.Overjoyed.
13.Which of the following belongs to "something else“ in the third paragraph?
A.Evaporation.
B.Building dams.
C. Power shortage.
D.Fishing.
14.What can we know from the passage?
A.Brazil lacks roads for firefighters to reach fires.
B.The destruction of the rainforest may affect the rainfall.
C.Brazil's people set fires to keep wild animals away in winter.
D.Reservoirs in the Parana River area is useless due to water shortage.
15.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Water Study Raises Fears for Drought
B. Brazil's Forest Is Disappearing
C. More Water, More Happiness
D. Cherish Water, Extend Life

When I visited my brother Selva who lives in Australia, he took me to a must-visit place - the National ArtGallery.
16
The National Art Gallery was located at the heart of the city. There was no entrance charge and the architecture was both impressive and unique. There were many types of paintings on display based on the painters, country of origin, which were categorized into Asian, Aboriginal （native Australian painters） and Caucasian （高力口索人）.I estimated at least a thousand paintings on display. The painters ranged from the most experienced to the amateur ones.
17 The quality and the imagination of the painters despite being young, were breathtaking.
18There is a sad history that surrounds the natives of Australia. When the white settlers came toAustralia in
the 19th century, it was inhabited by natives. Most of the children of the aboriginals were taken away from
their parents and brought up by white parents. Some of the paintings expressed this theme, which moved me
to tears.
Since it was a public holiday, the gallery was crowded with students, parents and their children. 19The price of paintings almost made me faint. They ranged from AUS $1,500 to a few million Australian dollars! It was such a huge display of paintings that I was sure the government must have paid big sums of money to purchase these works of art.
20 Now I left Australia but the memory of that day still haunts （萦绕）me. It is really an attraction worth visiting.
A.Selva knew I was an amateur painter.
B.So you couldn't experience a more exciting trip!
C.The paintings in it varied from culture to culture.
D.I was most impressed by the aboriginal paintings.
