Since my first visit to the 2 , I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stone walls around the farm. My parents would never approve(同意). Still, my wish to climb across those walls grew so 3 . One spring afternoon, I picked up all my courage and 4 the living room, where the adults were sitting and talking over tea after dinner."Can I climb the stone walls?" I asked. Immediately the women in the room cried. "Heavens, no! You'll 5 yourself!" I wasn't too disappointed, because their reply was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the room, my 6 stopped me. "Wait a minute," I heard him say. "Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to 7 to do things for himself.""Hurry up," he said to me, "Come and see me when you get back." For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the 8 of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure(冒险). I'll never forget what he said.

As I lay there bleeding, I suddenly realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without legs. How depressed I was at that moment! But then I realized that depression won't get my legs back. So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed. When my parents arrived at the hospital, they stood there quietly, and looked so shocked and sad. I told them, "I've already accepted the fact. Now you also have to get used to this."Ever since then, I often see my friends getting worried about little things: The buses come late; they get bad grades on the tests and so on. But I just enjoy life.I was lucky to realize that it is a waste of energy to pay attention to what you have lost, and that the key to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why are many people unhappy?People often think happiness is based on what they achieve. "My whole life would improve if I had a new car." But when they get the car, what happens? For a whole week they are walking on air. Then they go right back to be unhappy.Happiness is not a happening; it's a state of mind. Even though you have the whole world, you'll still be unsatisfied. And you have relatively(相对地)little but feel full of joy.

Such a thing can be found every day although it is against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Sydney.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury (汞) and lead (铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as "the e-waste capital of the world". It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.The Chinese government wants the country to develop, but in a way that doesn't do harm to the environment and people's life.This year, China passed a new environmental protection law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.1.The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from .A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD.

She is a primary school girl, who often makes mistakes and puts herself in difficult situations. Yet, for those who were born in the 1980s and 1990s, Maruko-chan helped them to feel better about themselves as a kid.Unlike many popular characters, Maruko-chan isn't pretty, nor does she have any kind of special ability. In fact, she's lazy and hates to do chores. But this is what makes her so popular among so many people, young and old. Maruko-chan is not perfect —she's naughty (淘气的), funny, and sometimes sad. She is afraid of exams and leaves her homework until the last day of the holiday.Later, as Maruko-chan gradually learns the ways of the world, she comes across a lot of problems, but her cleverness helps her out. The lovely girl is known for her funny yet wise sayings, such as, "Leave happiness to the last in a bittersweet (苦乐参半的) life," and "Self-reliance(自立) is the secret to happiness."But as these young people grew up, Maruko-chan, did not. Though she has always been a grade-three student, her idea of being true to herself teaches us a lot. Last month, however, Momoko Sakura, the creator of the cartoon, passed away at the age of 53. "I feel so sad about her death, which came too early, but the bright smiles of Maruko-chan and her friends will keep shining in the minds of reader," wrote Jane,a fan of Momoko Sakura.1.Which grade is Maruko-chan in?(不超过5个词)2.What makes Maruko-chan different from other popular characters?(不超过15个词)3.What helps Maruko-chan when she has problems?(不超过5个词)【参考答案】一、完形填空【完形短文大意】我永远不会忘记小时候在祖父的农场度过的那些日子。
