My favorite thing is the bird-housed because I love to listen to the birds sing.’’said 4th grade Kailee Porter.The outdoor classroom connects the student with the outdoors and provides a new set and environment(环境)for learning .“I like the outdoor classroom because we don’t have to in the hot classroom all day.We get to go outside and enjoy nature,”said Scott Ross,a 5th grade.36.

Catching different kinds of birdsBJoseph Lemasolai wrote a bool about his life .His people ,the Massai ,are nomads ,meaning they do not stay in one place for long.They move their villages in seach of good grass and fresh water for their cattle .“The cow is the centerpiece of pretty much everything we do ,”Joseph explains. “That’s why we move.we could not be nomads without cattle .You can’t move for nothing ---you can’t just walk around!”When he was very young,Joseph spent much of his time looking after his family’s cattle,taking them to food and water and watching out for lions.He played on the grassland with his friends.When Joseph was about six years old,he left his family to attend a boarding school (寄宿学校).There, Joseph faced difficulties much like other children do .He was laughed at because he was fat. He got into troubled daily with his teachers .But Joseph also faced difficulty most children do not .“Every time school closed for vacation ,I had to find my way home ,”Joseph says .“That was one of the hardest things :The village might be 5 miles away,or it might be 50.Sometimes I wouldn’t know exactly where my family was .I had to search for them.”Joseph later attended high school in a city .After graduation,he went tocollege .Finally ,he became a social studies teacher ,and now he is teaching seventh and eighth graders at a school.Every summer ,Joseph travels back to the grassland to visit hismother ,brothers,and friends.And he takes a group of students with him to see both the beauty and the difficulty of growing up in that part of the country.”I like to show them the other side of the coin.”Joseph says.39.The word “centerpiece”in Paragraph I means “___________”.A. the reason of movingB. the things already doneC. the most important partD. the animal in the middle40.Before going to school, Joseph spent a lot of his time __________A. visiting his friends from place to placeB. getting food and water for his familyC. taking care of his family’s cattleD. watching lions on the grassland41.When school closed for vacation ,Joseph usually hadgreat difficulty___________A. finding out where his home and village wereB. understanding what he was required to doC. getting in touch with his teachersD. walking 5to 50 miles in a day42.By taking some of his students home ,Joseph wants them to _________A. deal with difficult situationsB. know about his love for his familyC. realize what the people really needD. learn about a different way of livingCClay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds .Workers add water soften clay.This makes it easier to form into shapes by hand or by machine.Then it is heated a very high temperature .The result is a container that will last for many years.In many countries ,clay was formed from volcanoes(火山).This kind of clay usually contains many minerals(矿物质).So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay .The fires may be as hot as 1400 ℃.The high temperature should not be reacher too fast so that the containers can be dried slowly.You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results.For example ,you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product.But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans .Instead ,you should use sand from rivers or other areas.Clay often exists in fields covered with some water.The clay will be found about one meter below the ground .River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface.Clay is very shiny when it is wet.You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it .Then press it in your hands until it is about the size of an egg.It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing.43.When do workers do with clay to make it into different shapes?A. Soften it by putting water into it.B. Heat it to a very high temperature .C. Harden its surface by pressing itD. Add some materials into it44.What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic clay?A. Volcanic clay can be found in very few countries.B. Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quicklyC. Non-volcanic clay makes better containers.D.

He is， even today， a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like？The cowboy‘s job is clear from the word “cowboy”. C owboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much， each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive，the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a make on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But t hese marks didn‘t stop rustlers， or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous， cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid bally. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.< ）55.

He often wears a tall hat， a bow tie，and the stars and stripes of the American flag.Who is this strange， looking man？ Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the US government？ But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam？During the War of 1812， the US government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson. Samuel was a friendly and fair man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States. Some government inspectors came to look over Sam‘s company. They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for. As a joke，the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss，Uncle Sam.The joke spread，and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam. Before long，people called all things that came from the government “Uncle Sam‘s”， “Uncle Sam” became a nickname for the US government.Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers. In these early pictures， Uncle Sam was a young man. He wore stars and stripes， but his hair was dark and he had not a beard. The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President. President Lincoln had a beard.The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster from World War I. The government needed men to fight in the war. In the poster， a very serious Uncle Sam points his finger and says “I want YOU for the US Army.”< ）59. “Uncle Sam” became a ________ for the US government.A. bossB. nicknameC. pictureD. businessmen< ）60.

The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent， the Red Mogen David， the Sun， and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859，he observed how people were suffering on a battle field in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of way the sick and wounded， and other citizens during a war.The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881.
