Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visiting your mom.”‎ ‎ Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.‎ ‎ Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.‎ ‎ By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.‎ ‎ At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre（日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.‎ ‎56. When his wife left home. Brad expected to _______.‎ ‎ A. go out for a walk in the park B. watch TV talk show with his children ‎ C. enjoy his first day off work D. read the newspaper to his children ‎57. Which of the following did Randy do?‎ ‎ A. Drawing on the wall B. Eating apple jam ‎ C. Feeding the fish. D. Reading in a room ‎58.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?‎ ‎ A. Because he wanted to clean up his house. ‎ ‎ B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office ‎ C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.‎ D. Because he had to take his wife back.‎ B A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!‎ Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”‎ The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”‎ The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you ‎ are in my prayers.”‎ The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”‎ So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.‎ That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat. ‎ So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.‎ ‎59.

The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.‎ A. the mouse B. the pig ‎ C. the snake D. the chicken ‎63. What can we learn from the story?‎ A. Better safe than sorry.‎ B. Traps are usually well disguised.‎ C. To help others is just to save you.‎ D. To keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all.‎ C Welcome to Marksdale State Park Where fun, fitness, and education come together ‎ Don’t miss our new summer classes available during May 23- Aug 5!‎ ‎ Swimming lessons: Ages 4—adult.

They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.‎ They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?‎ They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping center every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.‎ ‎ One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.‎ My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(仪式) each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.‎ ‎67. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s family?‎ A. There were six people in the family. B.

In fact, it can be easy for an awkward situation to occur. Different customs can often cause misunderstandings and even trouble. So an article in the Daily Mail highlighted taboos in certain countries. Let’s take a look.‎ ‎ France When visiting France, you’d better not be caught cutting your lettuce with a knife and fork. It’s an insult to the chef and suggests that the salad hasn’t been prepared correctly. The correct way to eat lettuce in France is to fold it with your fork to make it fit in your mouth.‎ ‎ Italy It’s actually best to be a little less friendly than usual when you visit Italy. It’s considered strange to make small talk with strangers, as the locals are reserved. Too much familiarity from a stranger can be seen as threatening, so keep greetings short.‎ ‎ Mexico In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no, as it could be seen as a tribe. Something simple like flowers and chocolates would be accepted. But you should avoid taking along marigolds (金盏花) or red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be associated with witchcraft(巫术).‎ ‎ Germany You have to be careful with gifts of flowers in Germany too. Steer clear of carnations(康乃馨)，as they are used for funerals. And an even number is considered unlucky. So if you want to give your host flowers, ask them what their favorite flowers are before your visit. And be sure to bring an odd number. ‎ How to avoid 71.________ taboos in a new country France Taboo: Cutting your lettuce with a knife and fork.‎ Reason: It’s an insult to the chef, 72._______ the salad has not been prepared correctly.‎ Solution: 73._______ your lettuce with your fork to make it fit in your mouth. ‎ Italy Taboo: Acting too 74.________ to strangers.‎ Reason: Too much familiarity from a stranger can be seen as 75.________.‎ Solution: Don’t make small talk with strangers, and keep greetings short.‎ Mexico Taboo: Bringing an 76._______ gift to someone’s home.‎ Sending people marigolds or red flowers. ‎ Reasons: An expensive gift could be considered a bribe.‎ Marigolds and red flowers 77.________ for death and witchcraft.‎ Solution: Just send something simple like flowers or chocolates, but 78_______Marigolds or red flowers.‎ Germany Taboo: Sending people carnations or an even number of flowers.‎ Reasons: Carnations are used for funerals.

Recently our class had a heated discussion about it.‎ Through the discussion, we are fully aware of the necessity of carrying out a low carbon economy in our country. Factories have been producing large numbers of harmful chemicals. Meanwhile, human activities also let off carbon gases. As a consequence, all these contribute a lot to serious environmental pollution. What’s worse, with the increase of the population, natural resources will run out.‎ My classmates put forward the following suggestions about how to develop in a green way. First, more trees should be planted. Second, it is significant for us to recycle and reuse the waste that people throw away. Third, new energy should be developed and promoted as soon as possible.‎ We all think it is our duty to live a low carbon life. We are supposed to save every bit of water and electricity. Besides, we should appeal to the people around us to make contributions to creating a green homeland. We are confident that with our combined efforts, our life will make a great difference.‎
