I’m very worried because I have few friends. I don’t want to lose her. Thirdly, I feel nervous when the midterm exams are coming. And sometimes I even can’t sleep well at night.Yesterday, my mother took me to the doctor. I told the doctor my problems and he gave me some suggestions. He asked me to make more friendly friends and play games in my free time, so that I will not be so shy. He also said, “If you don’t want to lose your best friend, you should talk with her. Tell her what you think. ”Because I can’t sleep well, he asked me to eat some food that is good for sleep. And he asked me to relax. I’m trying to follow his advice. I think I will get better soon.二、任务型阅读Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life.

It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.A week before her mother’s birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheep umbrellas（伞）, and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month before.She thought, “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.On her way back home in the train that evening, she felt hungrybecause she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car （餐车）for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）, but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers（乘客）in it, but now there were three.Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”()1.Which of the following has the same meaning with the sentence "You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color"?A You can carry it when you are wearing any clothes.B Any color of your clothes will be all right.C The umbrella will be OK for your clothes in any colors.D.You can take any clothes that you like to wear.()2.Where did she find the umbrella missing?A.The compartment.B.Her school.C.The buffet car.D.The shop.

Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. ▲ Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid totell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it! ( )1. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One? What can they do about this?B．Where do the problems come from?B.When did they have these problems?D．Why do they have so many problems?( )2. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ________．A．answer a question B．give an exampleC．introduce his friend D．share his experience( )3. According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ________．A．Laura's teacher B．the writer of the passageC．a person with a problem D．an expert on students' problems ( )4. What is the main idea of this passage?A．Few children are careful with their money.B．Parents are more experienced than children.C．Talking to someone helps to solve problems.D．Students often have a lot of worries at school.五Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn't there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusualletter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge Xray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.“Really? How？”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.( )1. Some students spend less time on schoolwork but do better in exams ________.A．because of their hard work B．because of different education C．because they try to find a better wayD．because they study for a much longer time( )2. Someone wrote to the soap factory and complained that ________. A．the soapbox he bought was empty B．their soap was too expensive C．the soap he bought was terrible D．their service was very bad ( )3. The soap factory could only ________ near the packing machine to solve the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way. A．set some soapboxes B．set an Xray machineC．put two large computers D．put a huge fan( )4. The phrase “blow away” in the passage means “________”. A．停止B．远离C．吹走D．逃脱( )5. The article mainly tells us we should _______in order to succeed. A．work hard for long hours and study all the timeB．work hard like the engineer and think smart like the worker C．spend much less time on our schoolwork than beforeD．spend enough money repairing the machine for any problem六Shakespeare is the greatest English actor and playwright (剧作家) of all times.

When he told people to do things, they would never obey him. One day, the King decided to let the cleverest man—a wizard (男巫) to come up with the spells (咒语) which would get people to obey him. The man made hundreds of spells, but none of them worked.A young man heard about it. He went to the palace, and told the King that he could help and then gave the king two small pieces of paper. “Use the first before saying what you want people to do, and use the second after they finish doing it.” A servant was passing by (路过), carrying a large turkey in his arms. The King said to him,“Please, let me see that turkey.”The servant was surprised by the King’s kindness. He never heard him say‘please’before. So he gave it to the King. The King, after looking at the turkey, said,“Thank you. You may go.”And theservant left. The young man’s spells really worked!

Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast."Oh, Tom. You're still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because it's half past eleven. If you don't go to bed soon, you'll be very tired tomorrow." said Mrs. White."But I've nearly won the game." Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him."You're always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework."Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing (竞争) with the computerized (用计算机控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don't want to work or study.In some countries, even scientists hate computers.

Remember even people who love each other fight sometimes.When you're upset or angry, keep calm and then try thinking of a solution to the problem. You could go out to run around or play a ball, or just find a quiet place and relax. When you're really calm, talk with the person you argued with. Then you'll probably feel much better.Even if you're very angry, never hurt anyone in your family. That could only make things get worse. If a brother or a sister hurts you, it's important to tell your parent. It's also important to tell an adult if your parent hurts you.You could have a family meeting to talk about it when the fight happens.

AImagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic（立方）meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.1．_____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.A. SanaB. LahejC. HannanD. Times2．A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.A. enough drinking water to useB. no drinking water to useC. no private companiesD. more water pollution3．What does the underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?A. 充足B. 短缺C. 干旱D. 需求4．We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.A. the poor don’t have to worry about the water supplyB. the 18-year-old boy is from a poor familyC. private companies make a lot of moneyD. Lahej is a beautiful place5．Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. How to Save WaterB. How to Make Use of SeawaterC. How People Use Water FullyD.
