解析试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是发生在Joe身上的一个故事。有一天Joe发现天空中有一道亮光，原来是一艘宇宙飞船。从飞船上下来两个怪物，他们把Joe带进了宇宙飞船，问了他一些关于地球的问题。原来他们是来自金星的，金星变得很热，他们想找一个新家。最后他们放了Joe。当Joe把他遇到的事情告诉别人时，没有人相信他。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中The light came nearer and nearer and suddenly Joe realized that it was a spaceship可知，Joe在空中看到一缕亮光，这道光越来越近，突然Joe意识到它是一艘宇宙飞船。故选D。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据文章的第二段中They seemed to be half man and half bird.可知，在宇宙飞船里出来的生物是一种半人半鸟的东西。故选Ｄ。Ｃ选项的意思是既不是人也不是鸟，与文章的描述不同。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据文章的第二段和第三段的内容he spacemen walked towards him，picked him up and carried him into the spaceship．．．They asked him questions about earth可知，外星人把Joe带进了宇宙飞船，他们询问了一些关于地球的问题。由此可知，外星人把Joe带进宇宙飞船是想让他回答一些关于地球的问题。故选C。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容We are trying to find a new home.可知，这些外星人来自金星，但是金星变得很热，人们都快要死了，所以他们到地球来是想找一个新家。故选A。
【小题5】推理判断题。根据文章第四段的第一句话After some time they freed Joe可知，最后外星人放了Joe，故Ａ不对；根据文章第三段外星人的话中But it is getting very hot there.可知，他们来自金星，那里变得很热，而不是很冷，故Ｂ不对；根据文章第四段no one believed his story.可知，没有人相信Joe的故事，故D不对，D选项的意思是不是所有人都相信Joe的故事，即有的人相信，有的人不信。根据文章第三段外星人说的话中A lot of our people are dying可知，金星上很多人都死了。故C是正确的。

San Russell is not your average(一般的) baseball fan. He is a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan. He has a season ticket and he arranges his work schedule so he does not miss a game. San also attends game dressed in their uniform, and his car is red. He has even lost some friends by choosing to watch the Red Sox instead of going to their weddings. Is this healthy behavior?
Although Russell’s case is extreme, being a sports fan can be healthy for you. According to a study at the University of Kansan in the USA, sports fans suffer from depression less than people who are not interested in sports, fans also experience other effects from watching their team play. When their team wins a game, their own confidence and happiness increase, just like the athletes. Losing, on the other hand, always leads to some sense of disappointment.
What about die-hard fans whose team always loses? The team spirit keeps those fans from losing hope. Knowing that other fans are probably feeling the same way also helps them. In addition, there is always the hope that their team will win the next game. Russell has lost some friends because of his love for baseball and although you may think that would make him unhappy, he has made many more new friends because of his team spirit.
For Sam Russell, supporting the Red Sox is not just a hobby; it is a way of life and the secret of his happiness.

Talking to Teachers—Teachers are just people．Behind that desk, is a living, breathing human being．And just like any human being, they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them．Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and are prepared for class．And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated．The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure out a science project, say thank you with a smile.
Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportive if their children ask for help．If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you socialize more or feel more comfortable around people, then ask them．Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do．Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk．Tell them how you feel．Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.
Talking to Stranger —This is always a tough one．How do you deal with a neighbor, the mail carrier, or someone walking down your street—situations that often seem to cause arguments between kids and parents．The answer to these questions will vary(变化) from kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different．Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is “what’s done”．Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know．If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it．Where do they think you should draw the line(线)? When is silence rude and when is it wise?

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape（逃跑）? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤害).
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
