Then I took the paper and only saw the two words written by her: Charity and Family. I smiled and played a joke on her, “Don’t you want to move to a new apartment? This is what you have been dreaming of.”“Actually, I have been looking forward to it, but now it doesn’t seem so important to me anymore,” she answered with a smile.When I was about to put the paper on the table, I found there were still a few words at the very bottom of the paper.

If someone said that I should wear earplugs while playing or listening to music, I would laugh. What was the point of listening to music if you couldn’t enjoy it at full volume?When I first began playing in a band, I noticed that my ears would ring after a concert. But m y hearing would return to normal in a day or two, so I didn’t think there was any problem until my hearing was damaged. I now know that people can lose their hearing if they often listen to loud music.I pay more attention to the dangers of listening to loud music now so that I speak about the subject to students in middle schools and high schools. I tell students about a study in which scientists find that about 17 percent of middle school and high school students have some degree of heraing damage or loss and that the most serious hearing loss happens among students who often take part in rock concerts.Please take my advice: protect your ears. Don’t go to loud rock concerts, or if you do go, use earplugs. It might not seem cool to wear earplugs, but let me tell you, hearing loss is not cool, either.Music once meant everything to me. It was the center of my life and is still important. But protecting my hearing means more. After all, you can’t enjoy great music if you can’t hear it. ( )1.

He thought earplugs were so expensive that he couldn’t afford them.D. He thought wearing earplugs could cause hearing loss.( )2. What does the underlined word “normal” mean?A. 经常B. 恢复C. 正常D. 平衡( )3.

He wishes he had spent years playing with his classmates instead of playing in a rock band.C. He wishes that he had known listening to and playing loud rock music would cause hearing loss.D. He is sad that he has played rock music rather than some other types of music.( )4. When the writer speaks to his students, he wants them to ___.A. understand listening to and playing loud rock music an cause hearing loss.B. play in a rock bands.C. know that he still hopes to play in a rock band one day.D. believe that wearing earplugs is the only way to protect their hearing( )5.

I am writing to tell you my strong dissatisfaction.To begin with, the center was not as good as your advertisement had said at all. The coursesfor junior students were not properly managed; therefore, the students were running around during class time.Secondly, the “teachers” there turned out to be university students. They were taking on summer jobs. With less educational training, they had little knowledge of English composition. Their teaching skills were also quite poor. Their teaching was hard to understand. Besides the above-mentioned problems, there were 4 more students in my class than the “nodal class of 10 students.”Furthermore, the “adventure camping program” was delayed because we had to find the teacher who got lost in a sudden fog during our early morning walking.I’m very disappointed with your program. I think you will agree to give my money back to me.Sincerely,Sharon Wang( )1. What did the write do before he wrote the passage?A. He watched a TV program.B. He read a famous book.C.

They don’t try to teach English well.C. They can’t teach English well.D. They need to learn English well.( )3. What does the underlined word “disappointed mean?A.不高兴的B. 唯一的C. 残疾的D. 失望的( )4. Why was the adventure camping program delayed?A.Because of it was too cold on that day.B. Because a student got lost.C. Because a teacher got lost.D.

A student’s fatherAs a learner of English from China, I try to learn English well by reading. I think reading is the best way to study all languages. It can improve our vocabulary, reading and writing. Vocabulary is the most difficult in learning English for me. Remembering new words is very boring but I have to do so. I like reading English novels like Harry Potter and pick up the new words and write them down in a notebook. After reading I will look up the words in the dictionary and try to remember them. This is my favorite way of learning vocabulary because I can learn it though my interest.I am the best at listening and speaking. I try my best to talk to others in English and join different English clubs. Now I still try to improve my speaking and listening by talking to English speakers, watching English programs on TV and seeing English movies.Of course, there is still a long way for me to learn English well, but I’ll try my best.( )1. A. worst B. best C. slowest D. dearest（形）。

AI will always remember my mother‘s last few days in this world.On February 14th，2000，my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school，my teacher told me to go to the headmaster ‘s office. When I got into the office，I saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that，we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally，we got to see our mother. It was terrible.On the next day，the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened.I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside，my sister ran up to me. She started crying，“She‘s gone.

It has no fur, its eyes are closed, and it cannot jump. A mother kangaroo carries her baby in a pouch on the front of her body. The baby stays safe and warm in this fury pocket.

Wei Bin took photos of us in front of the Buddha.The next morning, we climbed Mount Emei. There are many old temples there. The monkeys were the liveliest on Mount Emei. They looked sweet, but they were very naughty. A small monkey suddenly put its hand in Chen Rong’s pocke t.

On December 12th, more than 6,000 volunteers from 60 different countires joined this group to help create free photographs for people who couldn’t pay for them.Many of the people photographed were homeless or single mothers. One of the women who took a photo had a son in Iraq. She was excited that she would be able to send him a professional photo of herself for Christmas. Another family, the Nelson, received a beautfiul family photo. They were never be able to afford it before. The photograph had a special meaning to them because their youngest son had cancer and he would leave his family for ever.Although Cowart and other photographers didn’t receive any pay for their work, they feel happy to have the chance to help others discover the best in themselves.“We just want to show people that they are beautiful and are respected," said Coward.

I think most people in the world will say “No.” Why? Because most of Kangaroos live in Australia.Kangaroos are different from most of other animals. They don’t walk or run. They move from one place to another by jumping. Some Kangaroos jumps very fast, just like horse can.Kangaroos’ back legs are quite strong. They also have a long, thick tail. With the help of their long tail and strong back legs, Kangaroos can jump four metres high and thirteen metres long.A baby kangaroo is tiny when it is born. It is about the size of a bean. It has no fur, its eyes are closed, and it cannot jump. A mother kangaroo carries her baby in a pouch on the front of her body. The baby stays safe and warm in this fury pocket. It drinks its mother’s milk. The baby gets big enough to start going out of the pouch when it is about five months old.A. 世界地图，画袋鼠在澳大利亚B. 蹦跑的袋鼠，旁一匹马与它跑在一起C. 新生的袋鼠，闭眼,D. 幼袋鼠在母袋鼠袋中吃奶1.

First, I found some photos of interesting places which were not too far away from Chengdu. I decided to go and see the big Buddha in Leshan and Mount Emei. Next, I called a travel guide whose telepone number was in a newspaper. He told me that I could go on a two-day trip to Leshan and Ernei, which wasn’t too expensive. My friends, Chen Rong and Wei Bin, said they would come with me. We took a few bottles of water, some apples and oranges.The next day we got up at five o’clcok. First, we went to Leshan, where we climbed all the way up the mountain to see the Buddha. The Buddha was really big. Looking up at the large head at the large feet made us feel ourselves so small. Wei Bin took photos of us in front of the Buddha.The next morning, we climbed Mount Emei. There are many old temples there. The monkeys were the liveliest on Mount Emei. They looked sweet, but they were very naughty. A small monkey suddenly put its hand in Chen Rong’s pocke t. Wei Bin took out some peanuts in antoher pocket and it was fun to see the mokney eat from his hand.Finally, we were on the way back to Chengdu.

My name is Emily and I live in New Zealand. I am 11 years old. I have a pet kiwi and a pet rat. The reason why I have a pet kiwi is that my parents are animal rescuers.

In the mountains, you can ski and climbs. In the water you can fish, swim, scuba dive, or surf. I love to travel. The Dutch were the first people to come to New Zealand. Then the British came.

After a few seconds the leaves finish closing. The large insect were caught between them. Then the trap become tight, and then the plant produces special juices. The juice makes the insect soft so that the Venus’s-flytrap can digest them. The process ofdigestion can take a week or longer. When the Venus’s-flytrap finally finishes its meal, the leaves open up again. The insect-eating plant is now ready to catch another insect.1. The Vennus’s-flytrip is a kind of plant in China.2.
