Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are

more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs

lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same.

Here are some fun things that you mi ght not know about frogs. Enjoy!

The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs

Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath

Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of

a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.

The Best Jumpers

Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. It is like a person jumping over about 30,48. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m, which is 50 times its body length(5.5cm). That might be the reason why frogs a re called the best jumpers on the earth.

The Cryogenic Animal

Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. 2/3of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.

29. The earliest frogs lived about ________ million years ago.

A. 20

B. 30

C. 50

D. 190

I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my

father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and

Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn.

Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was

the busiest time of the year.

When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and

busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady.

She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked.

During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.

Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. Ho wever, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.

To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here f or one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”

I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.

33. Thousands of people came to the town to __________ at the Fair.

A. enjoy Grandma’s food

B. sell and buy things

C. learn to c ook

D. have a big party

34. Why was Grandma unhappy?

A.She was too busy.

B. No one lived with her.

B.She was not “useful”. D. She couldn’t see anything

35. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Grandma was good at cooking.

B. Many people moved to big cities.

C. Grandma didn’t like “Fairtime”.

D. Grandma was a kind old lady.

36. What’s the best title for the passage?

Text* messaging, or simply “texting”, with allows people to

send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very

popular today.

The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to

save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and

friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals,

sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting

helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100

people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.

However, texting has its disadvantages. J unk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.

What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 peopl e were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.

Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.

37. How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two.

B. Three.

C. Four.

D. Five.

38. What did the researchers at StonyBrookUniversity find?

A.Texters are easier to have an accident.

B.Texting is a good way of communication.

C.6,000 people were killed and injured.

D.Many people text to greet families and friends.

39. The underlined word restricting probably means _________.

A. not telling

B. not allowing

C. enjoying

D. making

40. This passage is written to tell us that __________.

A. we should do less texting

B. texting has many advantages

C. texting is better than phone calling

D. we should do texting properly

I think going to school on foot is good for us. First of all, walking to school is a wonderful way to exercise and it’s good for health. Next, it’s fun to walk together with friends every day. We can ta lk about something interesting and know each other better. What’s more, if we walk, our parents won’t have to drive us to school. There will be fewer cars in the city. More walking and less driving helps to make our city cleaner. The streets won’t be as cr owded as they are now. I hope more and more students will go to school on foot.
