1．根据短文内容，判断正误。

Dear Alan,
Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place to live in. I am excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?
I am not sure whether I will live in a house or in an apartment. On the one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment, On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can not live with someone who is loud and messy. I do not have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Love,
Victor （1）Victor feels excited because he can decide where to live.
（2）Victor wants to share the house with a（an）neat and quiet person.
（3）If Victor finds a roommate, he will waste money.
（4）Victor doesn't have a car, so he wants a two-bed-room apartment
（5）Victor also needs to think carefully about the location.

Because of this, Gao's school now asks students to run when the weather is nice, and exercise indoors if it is bad. Students have to post（公布）exercise photos in their classes' QQ groups. At the Golden Apple Jincheng No. 1 Middle School in Chengdu, students have daily exercise plans. For example, they have to skip rope（跳绳） for two minutes and do three sets of sit﹣ups（仰卧起坐） each day. Their parents sign off（签名）on their plans when they finish exercising.

Earthquakes usually come without warning. What should you do if this happens to you？ An earthquake is dangerous, but there are still things you can do to protect yourself.
Stay calm as the earth begins to shake. Your chances of survival in an earthquake go up if you can keep calm. Staying calm is not easy, but it can save your life.
If you are inside when the earthquake starts, get under a table or a bed. You need to have something strong around you to protect you from falling objects. Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.

If you are in a car, pull over to a place where there are no trees or tall buildings and stay in the car. If you are close to the sea, try to get as far away from the water as possible. Earthquakes can cause huge waves（浪） that can really harm the people nearby.
When the earthquake is over, there is still plenty of danger. For example, gas fire often comes with an earthquake. If you see a fire, quickly move outdoor to an open area.
Always remember to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 I got when I was in high school.
The test was the last one of the term. I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr. Right gave out our papers one after another. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning（叹息）,and I could guess by the groans that the scores were not looking good.
Mr Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to catch attention, was my score, 55! I let my head go down, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. "The scores were not very good, none of you passed," Mr Right said. "The highest score in the class was a 55."
A 55. That's me! Suddenly I didn't feel so bad. I had the highest score. I was getting a little better.
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, "How did you do in your test? ""I got 55, "I said.
A frown （皱眉） appeared on my mother's face I knew I had to explain at once. "But Mum, I had the highest score in the class," I said proudly. "You failed, Dave!" my mother replied. "But it's the highest!" I insisted （坚持）. "I don't care what scores others had, you failed. The important thing is what you do!" my mother said in a strong way.
For years, my mother was always in that way. She didn't care what others did, only cared what I did and that I did it excellently. My mother's words have made a big difference to my life.

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For example, there are 350types of sharks, and all of them are meat esters. Some sharks are very big. The whale shark is 50 to 60 foot long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf（侏儒）shark is only 6 inches（英寸）long. Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks live in every ocean on the earth, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a shark's tooth falls out, another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they "hear" sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. This helps sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn （黄昏）, in the evening, or in the middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer （癌症） is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare （罕见的）in sharks. Scientists want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer, too.

Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did
you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money. People feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.

an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. My first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat.
