8．KBG84 is a one-of-a-kind girl band in Japan consisting of 33 singing and dancing  grannies，with an average age of 84．The oldest member，Haru Yamashiro，is 97 years old!
The new band，based in the remote island of Kohama in Okinawa，is a huge hit in the country-so much so that the members are rather shocked by their success．Their first single-titled Come on and Dance，Kohama Island-has made it to the top of the charts，and they've just completed a sellout tour of Japan．
"We felt like stars in Tokyo，"added 86-year-old Hideko  Kedamori．"Everyone in the audience had a big smile，which gave us the energy to sing our hearts out．We're blessed to have been born in Kohama．Our lyrics are about the island and nature-whales in the sea spouting or dolphins doing somersaults（空翻）．"Regardless of the lyrics，these elderly women are incredibly charming when they perform．Their energy and enthusiasm is amazing，considering their age．In fact，no one under the age of 80 is allowed into the band．
It turns out that the pop queens are blessed with incredible genes-Okinawan islanders have one of the highest life expectant in the world．Their diet chiefly consists of vegetables and local purple-fleshed sweet potatoes，with practically no added sugar．Menaka said she isn't particular about her diet．
"I look after my health by cleaning my home，wiping the floors，steaming rice，"she said．"I stay in the shade when it's too hot．I don't．want to get burnt．I have to take care of my skin-I'm still young at heart!"

28．What's the aim of writing the passage？B
A．To tell us KBG84 is the best band in Japan．
B．To introduce a popular band in Japan．
C．To show why KBG84 is so popular．
D．To prove the elderly can become stars．
29．How did the members of KBG84 feel when they succeeded？A
A．Very surprised．
C．A little proud．
B．Rather calm．
D．Fairly content．
30．What are the lyrics of KBG8 about？C
A．The women's interests．B．Inspiring stories．
C．Kohama and nature．D．Whales and dolphins'food．
31．What Menaka said in the last paragraph suggestsA．

B．taking exercise every day brings her joy
C．she likes high temperature very much

My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard. 1. Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon.2. She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.

3.  Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 4.She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.

Often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is!5.This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

16．We were in a small town in Greece on holiday many years ago．We went into a little restaurant．There were modern chairs and tables painted bright yellow，except one old round wooden table and four wooden chairs．
An old lady appeared and asked us what we would like．We asked for some local food．Then an old man came in and came over to the old wooden table．
He sat down and the old lady set down a glass of water and a plate of bread in front of him and at the other three places of the table．I realized he was expecting three others．
Nearly an hour later，the old man was still sitting there alone．Although he was eating something，the glasses of water and plates of bread at the other three places were still there．I said to the old lady，"Sad that his company did not arrive and he had to eat alone．"
"He always eats alone．His company never turns up，"she said．
"Many years ago，there were four handsome，strong young men．Once a week they would sit at that table and have lunch together because it was Friday．They had been friends since school days and were always together．Then the war broke out and they went off to fight．After the war only Nikolas returned．He came here every Friday and sat down to have lunch with his friends after the day he got out of hospital．Nikolas needs these Fridays to deal with his grief（忧伤） and to spend happy times with his old friends．"
It was so touching that I got tears on my cheeks．I will never forget the old man and the story happening to him．

25．What can we know about the old round wooden table？B
A．It was for persons on holiday．
B．It was kept for Nikolas．
C．It looked like other tables．
D．It was broken in the war．
26．The old man's company never turned up becauseC．
A．they had not been invited to the restaurant 
 B．they had moved to another city
C．they lost their lives in the war            
D．they didn't know the way to the restaurant
27．The old man went to the restaurant in order toD．
A．wait for his friends from other places 
B．meet new friends visiting Greece

13．You know that squeak（吱吱声） you hear from your pet mouse or the pest mouse？It turns out that it is not really a squeak，but a sweet song by male mice to attract females．This is the conclusion reached by biologist Dustin Penn and his team at the Veterinary University of Vienna．
The scientists who have been conducting a series of studies on house mice for a number of years，began by recording the high-pitched（声调高的） sounds male mice made the moment they sensed a female mouse around．What they discovered when they played them back to females was that the ladies could tell between those made by their brothers and the ones made by unrelated males．Just like human，they tended to ignore the ones made by their brothers．
The researchers then took the experiment one step further and analyzed the squeaks．To their surprise they discovered that while the squeaks sounded similar，they each had a different"tune"．The biggest surprise of all was that the mice could even learn tunes from each other．
However，not all scientists agree with this finding．Some like Kurt Hammer，a scientist at the German Primate Center believe that the test sample was too small to make such a conclusion．
The researcher's next plan to test if the females care about the quality of the"song"．In some bird species，males that can sing the most complex tunes seem to get the most attention．
So why do we care whether mice can sing or not？Clearly，since they are being used as laboratory testers，it will help us make advances in human speech disorders like the ones found in people suffering from autism（自闭症）．

29．According to Dustin Pen，the squeak made by a male mouse isD．

D．the squeaks made by the female mice
31．What might be Kurt Hammer's idea？A
A．More studies should be made．
B．Mice are intelligent animals．
C．the conclusion is reasonable．

A．find ways to kill mice                 
B．inspire musicians with their work
