（A）
A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “ Who would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “ I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.”
He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped（踩）
on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable（有价值的) lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth(值) ￥ l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances
we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But
remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.

Have you ever wondered?Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet (喷射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.
What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures (建筑物) float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth. The Earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string (细绳), it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. ‘Switching off’ gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling. Most things outside would fly off into space.
( )56.What information can we get from the first passage?
A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.
B. Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind.
C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.
D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.
( )57.The word “shoot” underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “__________”.
A. send for
B. move quickly
C. come out
D. grow quickly
( )58.It can be inferred that without gravity __________.
A. buildings and other structures would float away
B. trees and buildings would not so easily fly off
C. something around your head would not float away
D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space
( )59.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?
A. It takes seven hours to travel from London to New York.
B. The earth is moving at a high speed
C. Everything on the earth will float away if there’s no gravity.
D. Everything not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line.
( )60.Where can we most probably read this text?
A. In a research paper.
B. In a short story.
C. In a travel magazine.
D. In a student’s book.
（C）
Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it’s not go od to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.
When you get angr y, you can talk about it with other people. It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don’t let your anger control you.

Do you know that drunk driving kills more than 10,000 people a year, and it’s becoming a major problem in our society today? I hope you can keep away from drunk driving. Please listen to me.
There’re quite a lot of good reasons you should be away from drunk driving. First, it can endanger the lives of not only yourselves but also others. Second, the terrible results of drunk driving will also affect your family. Third, you may face the punishment if you drive after drinking, like getting a fine of 1000-2000 RMB, or even worse. Last but not least, drinking is not good for your health at all.
So, please drink less for your health. I f you drink, don’t drive, and if you drive, don’t drink. Think of your family before taking the wheel. If necessary, you can find a designated driver.
Wish you to be wealthy and healthy at the same time.
Love you Mom. Love you, Dad!
Love,
Your daughter/son
