I will never forget what my old headmaster has taught me. 31 when you are only 15 years of age, you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. However, this 32 story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get 33 of this story.

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would 37 every morning and get the train right to Central London, then 38 at the street corner and beg. He would do this every 39 day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and had begged for almost 20 years.

Halloweenis round the corner. Kids everywhere are counting down the days. Dentists are refilling their printer inks for all those upcoming bills. And parents are left wondering, “Should I let my child enjoy the sweet things in life？”

As a parent and a pediatric (儿科的) dentist, Catherine Robinette has some educated opinions on the matter. According to Robinette, the concern is not the amount of candy, but the frequency. Many parents agree. Rebekah Morris of Cincinnati, Ohio says, “We used to do the ‘three pieces a day until it’s gone’, but I simply got sick of seeing it around the house. So I give the kids three days. And then whatever left will be thrown away.”

If you want it all to be over before the decorations are down, consider the following creative ways to make that candy disappear:

●Invite the Great Pumpkin to your house this Halloween night. Have the kids pile all the sweets they haven’t eaten onto the floor before they go to bed so that the Great Pumpkin can magically turn them into a new toy or set of art supplies.

●Set up a “November 1st Store” in your house. Let kids buy things like movie tickets in exchange for candy.

●Turn this into a charity opportunity for your whole family by taking some candy to your local recreation center or food bank.

●Get creative with glue, and use the candy to decorate the rest of the pumpkins on your doorstep. A sweet-toothed Jack-o-Lantern is bound to bring out some smiles.

●Crush up all the chocolate candy bars and use them to make ice cream sundaes. Or better yet, substitute the “chips” in some chocolate chip cookies, and bake some gifts for your neighbors!

When you’re thinking about what to put in your own bowl this Halloween, Robinette advises going for chocolate. “Candy like M & M’s really does melt in your mouth. That’s so much easier on teeth than sticky things that get stuck there all day.”

Denying your children the sweet treats of the season may prove to have the opposite effect, as forbidden pleasures usually become quite appealing. But finding a middle ground where both parents and kids are happy makes for a happy Halloween!

万圣节就要来了，父母们总为孩子们吃糖过多而感到焦虑不安。本文就此问题给出了一些建议。

54．According to Catherine Robinette, _______.

A．kids should never eat candy

B．eating candy frequently is really harmful

C．eating a large amount of candy won’t do great harm

D．“three pieces a day until it’s gone” is the best choice

A．to change the candy to toys after the kids go to bed

D．to give away the candy to the neighbours

56．What does Catherine Robinette advise you to buy on Halloween？

A．Chocolate candy. B．Cookies.

C．Cakes. D．Ice cream.

A．finding a middle ground is a wise choice

B．parents had better forbid their kids from eating candy

C．denying your children the sweet treats is completely wrong

Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals.

That’s right, animals. Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.

One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It’s not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”.

A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar (美洲狮) had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach.

A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of Earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.

A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. (Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake

a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.

In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists.

59．Through the passage the writer hopes to explore __________.

A．why animals send a danger signal before an earthquake

B．how animals know when an earthquake is coming

C．why animals have good sense of danger

D．how much animals know about an earthquake

60．During an earthquake in China in 1975, _________.

A．chickens refused to go out of their cage

B．snakes were frozen to death in their caves

C．snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlier

D．cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds

61．Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage？

A．An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure.

B．A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly.

C．An Australian horse was perfectly calm.

D．A cat acted very strangely in a zoo.

62．The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to _________.

A．find out that the machine could record unusual happenings

B．compare the reactions of animals and those of humans

C．prove that animals could sense more than humans

D．find out what exact warnings animals sent

Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.

Right now, I’m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling （打捆）the big field on top of the hill. She’s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.

She picked a great day for baling. It’s not too hot, and there’s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work. I remember when I would have done the same thing.

While I’m here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay(干草) train,” a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon. You’d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow she manages. When she’s finished, her tracks are very straight.

The whole time she’s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he’s afraid she’ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.

The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together.

A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.

That’s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon.

I can remember when Beth’s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.

Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.

63．We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ______.

A．bought the tractor for Beth

B．forced Beth to work at an early age

C．worked in the field like Beth

D．trained the dog to help Beth work

64．In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is _______.

A．uncommon B．beautiful

C．unforgettable D．changeable

65．Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be _______.

A．tied up B．dried up

C．cut up D．lined up

66．Who do you think is telling this story？

A．Beth’s mother. B．Beth’s father.

C．Beth’s grandmother. D．Beth’s grandfather.

Pollutants coming from automobile operation have begun to cause many environmental problems. It has been calculated, for example, that 70% of the carbon monoxide, 45% of the nitrogen oxides, and 34% of the hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) pollution in the United States can be traced directly to automobile exhausts (废气). In addition, rubber, motor oil and other materials accumulate on roadways and are washed into streams, with effects nearly as serious as those of untreated waste water.

In an effort to improve the situation, the U.S. government has made regulations on the use of the constituents (成分) of automobile exhaust gas that are known to cause air pollution. These constituents fall roughly into three types: hydrocarbons that pass through the engine unburned; carbon monoxide, also a product of incomplete burning; and nitrogen oxides which are formed when nitrogen and oxygen are in contact at high temperatures. Besides their own poisonous character, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react in the presence of sunlight to form harmful smog. Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are rather easily controlled by the use of higher burning temperatures in engines. Unfortunately, the conditions that produce minimum emission of hydrocarbons tend to raise emission of nitrogen oxides. In a way this difficulty is solved by adding recycled exhaust gas to the fuel mixture, thus avoiding the oversupply of oxygen that favors formation of nitrogen oxides.

California, which has the most strict air-pollution laws in the United States, requires further special compounding of gas to control emissions, and several states have ordered that alcohol be mixed with gas, as this will reduce emissions of the carbon monoxide by 35 per cent and the hydrocarbons by 15 per cent.

汽车尾气排放对环境造成很大的危害，本文介绍了汽车尾气的形成及美国各州政府对此所采取的措施。

67．The author uses figures in Paragraph 1 ________.

A．to show the consequence of automobile exhausts

B．to highlight the importance of environment protection

C．to reflect the rapid growth of automobile use

D．to criticize the low quality of cars

68．How are nitrogen oxides formed according to the text？

A．Nitrogen and oxygen are put together in great heat.

B．Carbon monoxide and oxygen are mixed together.

C．Hydrocarbons pass through the engine.

D．Nitrogen is burned incompletely.

69．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text？

A．Hydrocarbons have no poisonous character themselves.

B．Smog will form when hydrocarbons meet nitrogen oxides in the sunlight.

C．Carbon monoxide can be controlled in the engine.

D．The conditions that decease emission of hydrocarbons will increase emission of nitrogen oxides.

70．According to the text, alcohol is added to gas in order to ______.

A．increase awareness of environment protection

B．control air pollution

C．increase the fuel efficiency

D．replace gas gradually

Dear boys and girls,

It’s my great honour to make a speech here. Recently, the People’s Bank of China conducted a quarterly survey on prices in 50 cities.

One Possible Version:

Dear boys and girls,

It’s my great honor to make a speech here. Recently, the People’s Bank of China conducted a quarterly survey on prices in 50 cities. Nearly half of the respondents said they couldn’t tolerate the increasing prices, while some others considered it OK although they acknowledged the truth. As a result, many families began to seek various ways to save money.

The survey does draw my attention to the rapidly increasing prices in my daily life. Take food as an example, the prices of pork, beef, fish, chicken, as well as various vegetables, have risen at least 20%. It seems that money is flowing out of our pockets more quickly, but silently.

Although we middle school students feel less stress than our parents do, we should also have a proper budget for our pocket money. For example, we can make the most of each exercise book and reuse some waste paper. Or we can also try to cut down our expenses on unnecessary magazines, CDs and so on. In a word, we can save money in many aspects in our daily life.

All in all, saving money is a great Chinese virtue and it is especially needed in this period. Thank you!
