Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. We don’t like to rush around, so we don’t mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s OK if you arrive a bit late. 1.______________________________________（我们喜欢慢慢享受我们的时间）。2. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop our friends’ homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

In Svitzerland3._________________________________（守时是很重要的）。We are the capital of clocks and watches after all! 4. If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friends may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. 5. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.

24、The Smallest Life Around Us

Tiny plants and animals live all around us．We cannot see them because they are so small，but they are everywhere. They live in the soil，in the air，and in rivers and oceans．They grow on mountains and in caves．Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot．They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals．Some are even living on you，on your skin，hair，and inside your body，in your mouth，nose，and all through your body．

These tiny plants and animals are called microbes．The word microbe is made from two other words：micro，meaning small，and bios，meaning life．So，microbe means small life．

Microbes have been on earth for a very long time．They may have been the first forms of life to be alive．Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things．

People did not know microbes had existed（存在） long．They were too small for them to see．But people did see many changes in their world﹣important changes．And they did not know what caused them．They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad．They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become worse. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil．Such changes were a natural part of the world，but people did not understand them．They did not know these changes were evidence(证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.

【1】Why couldn't people see microbes？

A. Because they are too small．

B. Because they live inside our body．

C. Because they live far from humans．

D. Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive．

【2】The underlined phrase" crumble apart" in the last paragraph means"　   　"．

A. grow taller   B. change into soil

C. break into tiny pieces   D. become colorful and energetic

【3】Choose the answer that completes the web below．

A. Microbes are very small   B. Microbes are all around us

25、“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:

★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.

★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.

★Work with a veteran(经验丰富的) volunteer. He volunteered a lot; he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.

★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If the experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “﹍little things can change a person’s life.”

【1】Volunteering can help _____.

A. make a decision B. see the world clearly

【2】What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?

C. They fear that their abilities are shared. D. They don’t expect to become volunteers.

【3】Which of the following can help people take the first step?

A. Start out quickly. B. Organizing a training meeting.

C. Invite a friend to be with them. D. Join in a group with different values.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. To tell people to make changes in their lives.

26、①Last year I spent my whole winter vacation in the US with my host family. The most unforgettable experience I had there was joining the Boy Scouts (童子军) of America. It was there that I got to face a great challenge: camping in the rain.

②One Saturday, we went hiking in the rain for more than six hours. When we finally reached the camping site, my shoes, my clothes, my bag and all the things inside it were totally soaked.

③Then, an even worse thing happened. Our guide teacher stepped out and said: “Today’s hiking is a test. We’re not going back home tonight! We have to live here tonight!” Soon we began to accept the truth and went to work. We just covered ourselves with a kind of plastic sheet and lay down by the campfire. While sleeping, I woke up several times. But to my surprise, I adapted (适应) to the environment quickly. Many others didn’t even fall asleep.

④The sun finally rose and our hope returned. The bus came at 6 am and sent us back to our lovely home.

⑤Many in China say that children in the US were born with an adventurous spirit. But I think they were born with nothing different. Instead, they make differences by facing troubles positively. The camping adventure was a gift they gave themselves. Many Chinese children are over-protected when they are growing up. Therefore, when facing troubles, how can it be possible for us to react positively?

27、   Earthquakes can be very scary（吓人的）. But you need to keep your mind stable (坚定的) in order to make sure you are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.

If you manage to come out of your house, go to an open space like a garden or a park where you will be a lot safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky object such as a bed. Curl up (蜷缩) and sit on the floor and make sure you are not near a window, fireplace, gas stove and so on. Remember don’t use lifts or escalators.

Some people say you should stand on a doorway. That is not true. If the doorway jambs (侧壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them. Leave all doorways free.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that you mustn’t climb down the stairs during an Earthquake. If the tremors (震动) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but don’t run.

Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And don’t light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.

If you’re driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out. Make sure you are not on a bridge. Bridges and overhead roads (高架路) have the biggest danger of falling.

【1】The best title for the passage should be   .

A. Dos and Don’ts Before an Earthquake. B. What to Do in Case of Earthquake

C. Tips for Earthquake Preventions D. Tips for Children in Earthquake.

【2】The underlined word “bulky” in Paragraph 2 probably means___________ .

A. soft B. large C. small D. tall

【3】When an earthquake suddenly happens, you should _____________.

a. remain standing near a window

b. turn off the main gas

c. stay in an open space

d. stand on a doorway

e. keep off overhead roads

A. a, b, c B. c, d, e C. b, c, e D. b, d, e

【4】Which of the following is NOT true, when an earthquake suddenly happens?

A. We can’t use the lift. B. Curling up may be very dangerous.

C. We must turn off the gas. D. We must get out of the car when the earthquake comes

【5】It can be learned from the passage that   .

A. keeping calm in time of earthquake is very important.

B. measures should be taken to make buildings stronger.

C. knowledge of first aid must be used in an earthquake.

D. lots of things must be done to survive an earthquake.
