Mr Smith looked at him angrily each time.After the fourth time, Mr Smith stopped, turned round and said to the small boy, “What are you doing? Stop following me like that! You’re going to hurt my feet.”“I’m sorry, but don’t stop me, please!”the small boy said, “It’s very hot today and there isn’t any other shade in the street!”If you were the boy, what would you do during such a hot day?51.

Not football as it is played in most countries, but the kind of football in the United States and Canada.American football is a difficult game to explain. But the basic idea is that each team tries to move the football across the goal line of the other team. One of the rules is that a team must move the ball forward（向前）at least ten yards ----- a little less than ten meters ----- in four attempts. It loses the ball to the other team if it fails to move that far.One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. Then the team must take an important decision.One choice is to try a fourth and final time. If the team succeeds, it keeps the ball, and continues to move forward. But if it fails, the other team gets the ball at that place on the field.The second choice is to kick the ball. The team gives up the ball if it makes this choice. But a good kick can put the other team at the far end of the field, making it more difficult for that team to score.People watching a football game are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, “Kick the ball!”But others will urge the team to take a chance, to live dangerously. “Go for it !”They will shout.56. “go for it!”is an expression which comes from a sports game that Picture ____ shows.57.

This is thesenior students’ school leaving party. The British namefor the event is a Leavers’ Ball or Leavers’ Dinner,although some UK schools call them Proms, too. InCanada, Ireland and Australia the terms Grad or Formal are most common and in South Africa it is called a Matric Dance.Some Matric Dances in South Africa still follow the old British traditions. Before the dance, pupils are given lessons in dancing. School leavers invite a partner to the dance. The girls have dresses especially made for the event. To save costs the dance is often held in the school hall.American Proms have become elaborate（精心的）and expensive, complete with luxury hotel ballrooms（豪华的酒店舞厅）, live bands and expensive prom dresses. They now include after-Prom activities that often extend into the early morning of the next day.The Leavers’ Ball in the UK is not so formal（正式）. The girls also wear ball gowns and the boys suits. A dinner and disco will be held at a local hotel. Each pupil buys a ticket and can go with a partner or just arrive with friends.61.

South AfricaDAfter a study showed that one in every ten meals in the country may be cooked in with dirtyoil, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on Thursdayissued an emergency notice （发布紧急通知）to restaurants nationwide,warning them against recycling oil.The swill-oil is cooking oil refined from kitchen waste that hasbeen recycled. Although it looks clean and clear, it’s actually so dangerous to people’s health that it may cause cancer.According to a report, the swill-oil business is extremely profitable. Recycling one ton of kitchen waste will produce 130 kg of swill oil. With its price being half that of normal cooking oil, a profit（利润）of 1.5 to 2 billion yuan is produced in the whole swill-oil business in the country every year. The profit is almost 200%, so it’s easy to understand why the business is so hot.He Dongping, a professor from Wuhan Polytechnic(WHPU) said, “To stop the use of dirty oil should start at its source, kitchen waste. And the first step is to find a good way of collecting kitchen waste.”“However, it might take about 10 years before China could solve the problem completely,”he added.66.

Some clouds are high and thin, some are white and fluffy（蓬松的）, and others look dark and heavy.There are four kinds of clouds. They are high clouds, middle clouds, low clouds, and clouds that grow vertically（垂直的）.

Cirrus clouds look like curly hair, and the word cirrus just means “curl of hair”. Some high clouds that look like layers （层）are called cirrostratus clouds. The word status means “layer”.About 3 to 6.5 kilometers above earth are the middle clouds. Altostratus clouds are light gray, and Altostratus clouds are very fluffy. Another cloud that sometimes can be a middle cloud is Nimbostratus cloud. Nimbo comes from the word nimbus, which means “heavy rain”. These clouds make a gray layer from which rain and snow falls.The low clouds are no higher than about 1.6 kilometers above earth. Two kinds of clouds are often found here. Stratocumulus clouds are light and dark. Stratus clouds are very low.The foutth froup of clouds grows vertically. These clouds have a hase near the ground but rise to a great height.
