1、   There is a Chinese saying “千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”. The saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi (《路史》). According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official in Yunnan wanted to show his respect (尊敬) to the emperor (皇帝). He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. 1. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, which was a very valuable gift at the time.

Mian took good care of the swan on his way to the emperor. One day, he passed by a lake and wanted to let the swan drink some water. 2. But as soon as he set the swan free, the swan flew away, leaving only some feathers on the ground. Mian was very worried, but he didn’t try to run away. 3. 他决定告诉皇帝发生了什么。He picked up a feather and kept going on his trip.

When Mian met the emperor, he told him what happened and said, 4. “This swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” The emperor was happy with Mian’s honesty and sincerity (真诚). He forgave (原谅) Mian. 5. 人们现在用这个说法来表明好的礼物不一定要很贵。What matters is the sincerity it carries.

24、Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Here’s our advice to you-- and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

It’ s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!

26、“Face it， Andy. You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo’s.” That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world.

Jimmy Choo (Zhou Yangjie) is a native Malaysian of Chinese origin (出身)， born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers. He created his first pair of shoes at age 11. His family couldn’t pay for his schooling， so he dropped out at a young age. He had to work with his father to support the family. But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared， so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower.

Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there. He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988. His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana， Princess of Wales.

Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels (鞋跟) and pointed toes. However， he does some flats and lower-heeled shoes for other women. Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with Tamara Mellon， UK Vogue editor， but left the company in 2001.

Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world， so his designs are_______to those who want a designer shoe， and can afford his prices. Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready-to-wear designs. The brand (牌子) of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands， like Channel， LV， etc. But it’s still young and has a bright future.

We can’t imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others. And so he did. So stop complaining about why good luck isn’t always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now.

27、Children should be allowed to get angry. I remember many years ago, when I was visiting my sister in Australia, and I told my oldest son that he wasn’t allowed to do something he really wanted to do. He thought about it for a minute and said, “Mom, I’m very angry with you.” I replied, “That’s OK, darling, it’s what you do with your anger.” I then asked him if he wanted to talk to me about it but he was too angry to talk to me. Then he stormed off(愤然离开).

My sister looked at me surprisingly. Now she has a son the same age as mine and she said angrily, “How can you allow your child to be angry with you? If my son learns that from you, I will never forgive you.”

Then it was hard for me to stay with her, I ended up leaving earlier. Why shouldn’t my son have the right(权利) to tell me when I have made him angry? If he can’t tell me then how can he tell others in his life?

Children need to be able to express how they feel. We need to teach them ways to do this in a right way instead of saying nothing. I want them to tell me. Bottling up anger is not healthy for anyone and usually makes things worse.

【1】What should children be allowed to do according to the passage?

A. Fight. B. Get angry.

C. Drink wine.   D. be rude to their parents.

【2】How did the writer’s sister feel when she saw the son was angry with his mother?

A. Happy. B. Sad.   C. Pleased. D. Surprised.

【3】Why did the writer end up leaving earlier when visiting her sister?

A. Because her sister was angry with her and she felt it hard to stay there.

B. Because she had a meeting later.

C. Because her son was angry with her and left.

D. Because her sister asked her to leave.

【4】The underlined words “Bottling up” means __________ in Chinese.

A.瓶子   B.装满瓶子

C.强忍着不说    D.打碎瓶子

【5】What’s TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children can’t be angry with their parents.

B. Children shouldn’t be able to express how they feel.

C. Bottling up anger is not healthy for anyone.

D. We shouldn’t allow students to be angry with us.

28、综合填空

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't【1】b on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the【2】 b way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place【3】 b boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while 【4】 t boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

Water makes the city special, 【5】b it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences: One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.

There are two reasons for this phenomenon(现象). Once, people used too much underground water. This【6】 m the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. 【7】A problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化).

Every year, high waters hit the【8】c in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are 【9】t different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has 【10】a some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

29、   Cold weather during winter months may stop many people from _______home and running in the open air. But a new study shows _______ the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather _______ improve one's performance (性能). Many people say running in _______ winter is difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and strong winds. Yet many runners might find _______ easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body.

When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is _______ than in warmer conditions. Besides, the body needs less water _______ a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from John Brewer, a sports scientist at St. Mary's University in London. Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating, and that the body loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. But sweating puts much strain (张力) on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it is _______ harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm as well.

In addition, running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates. Scientists find that heart rates are about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions. _______, running in cooler temperatures has some advantages. One is that the body does not have to work so hard to pump (输送) blood to the skins surface in cooler temperatures, which means running requires less energy. Several websites note that the most important thing for people ________ run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. And especially, keeping as dry as possible is very important when exercising in low temperatures.
