It's Jim's birthday today. He is five years old. He gets many nice birthday presents from his family and one of them is a big drum (¹Ä).
" Who gives him the drum?" his father asks.
" His grandfather does." answers Jim's mother.
Jim likes his drum very much. He makes a noise(ÔëÒô) with it, but his mother doesn't say anything about it. His father is not at home. He is working in a school. So he doesn't hear(Ìý¼û) the noise.
But one of the neighbours doesn't like the noise at all. So one morning she takes a knife and goes into Jim's room. Jim is making a noise with the drum. She says to him, "Hello,  Jim, Do you know there is something nice in your drum? Here is a knife. Open the drum and let's find it."
СÌâ1: Jim's       gives Jim the drum.
A£®grandfatherB£® fatherC£®motherD£®neighbour
СÌâ2:Jim's father is       
A£®a workerB£®a teacherC£®a cleanerD£®a shopkeeper
СÌâ3:The neighbour hates               .
A£®Jim's presentsB£®the drumC£®the knifeD£®the noise
СÌâ4:The neighbour tells Jim                .
A£®to put the drum away (ÊÕÊ°)B£®to look after the drum
C£®to open the drum with the knifeD£®to make a noise with the drum
СÌâ5:Which of the following is right?

C£®There is a nice present in the drum.

It was the first day of school. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me.
She said, ¡°Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I¡¯m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?¡±
I laughed, enthusiastically responding, ¡°Of course!¡± And she gave me a giant squeeze. ¡°Why are you in college at such an age?¡± I asked.
¡°I¡¯m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then retire and travel.¡±
¡°No seriously.¡±
¡°I always dreamed of having a college education and now I¡¯m getting one!¡±
We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she took great delight in the attention given to her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet (Ñç»á) and I¡¯ll never forget what she taught us.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simply said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I¡¯ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.¡± As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began: ¡°We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing; There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You have got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don¡¯t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don¡¯t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. Anyone can grow older. That doesn¡¯t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don¡¯t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.¡±
At the year¡¯s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral(ÔáÀñ) to honor the wonderful woman.
СÌâ1:While meeting Rose at the college for the first time, the author was curious about
________.
A£®her ageB£®her dreamC£®her lifeD£®her motivation

________.
A£®she did as well as she was expected

C£®she did things that she enjoyed
D£®she deserved(Ó¦µÃ) praise due to her study
СÌâ3:In Rose¡¯s opinion, one can learn to grow up by __________.
A£®getting new ideas
B£®regretting his mistakes
C£®gaining new knowledge every day
D£®finding chances to do productive things
СÌâ4:What else did Rose most probably say at the football banquet?
A£®¡°It seems my young days are over.¡±
B£®¡°The only people who fear death are those with regrets.¡±
C£®¡°When we are old, we can¡¯t do anything. So enjoy in time!¡±
D£®¡°Have a good time and don¡¯t do much in order to stay young.¡±
СÌâ5:The story of Rose in the text shows that __________.
A£®it is never too late to learn in your life.
B£®it is good for old people to have friendship.
C£®it is never too late to be all you can possibly be.
D£®it is very important to have a healthy body when people are old.
Tiffany, a 16-year-old girl, was very, shy. Last September, her best friend, Sophie, moved abroad with her family because she had to continue her studies in America. She even said she would not come back for at least a few years. Tiffany became    Ð¡Ìâ1:  and helpless. "I was really sad the moment I heard the bad news and I didn't know what to do," Tiffany recalled (»ØÒä). "I    Ð¡Ìâ2:   myself in my room for a whole week. It was then that my aunt took me to a sports club one Saturday and I saw' so many young people playing various sports there. I signed up for a beginners' course in volleyball and since then I have been playing this sport. Now I practise twice a week there. It is wonderful playing sports in this club and I have made lots of    Ð¡Ìâ3:  as well. What's more, I feel I am much healthier than before."
The most basic aim of playing sports is that you can improve your health even if you are not very good at sports.   Ð¡Ìâ4:   , you can get to know a circle of people at your age while playing sports. Tiffany used to be a very quiet girl. Since she joined the sports club, she has opened up herself and now she has become very    Ð¡Ìâ5:   and enjoys meeting and talking with others.
For most people, that is one of the attractions of joining a sports club. You can get to know other young people who have similar interests. You don't have to sit down and talk to strangers.
You go in for sports and it is easier to understand your partners on the same team. Now Tiffany is quite    Ð¡Ìâ6:   her friends and she has also gained more confidence.
Try to do regular sports. The mind needs exercise as well as the body.

Feeling lonely can make you sick. Doctors have long known that loneliness can cause many health problems and even death. What they didn¡¯t know is   16  this feeling causes illness. A study in the online magazine Genome Biology  17  that loneliness actually influences the important part of our bodies¡ªour genes.
In a small population of patients, researchers   18  more than 20,000 genes to compare how the genes of lonely and non-lonely individuals (¸öÌå) express themselves in molecular processes (·Ö×Ó¹ý³Ì) and in personal health. They found that gene expression is   19  in chronically (³¤ÆÚµØ) lonely people. ¡°We now have a new way for understanding the relationship   20   social experience and physical health,¡± explains the study¡¯s lead author, Steve Cole of University of California, Los Angeles.
¡°This study¡ªthe first to link (ÁªÏµ)   21  with gene changes¡ªis special and exciting,¡± says Emma Adam, a professor of human development at Northwestern University. ¡°It   22  in the black box.¡±
According to John Cacioppo, an author of the study from the University of Chicago, the
work suggests that loneliness is a warning   23 , much like physical pain. ¡°This feeling is so bad because   24  of us wants to be forgotten; that¡¯ s also what human means,¡± he says. ¡°It makes us   25  for other people and want to be with friends when we¡¯re lonely.¡±

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
¡°Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?¡±
