I can never forget Mr. Green. He taught eighth-grade . On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about a creature called the cattywampus, an ill-adapted nocturnal (夜间活动的) animal that during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull (头骨) as he talked. We all took notes and later had a quiz.

When he my paper, I was shocked. There was a big red × through of my answers. I had failed. There had to be some mistake! I had written down exactly what Mr. Green said. Then I realized that everyone in the class had . What had happened?

Very simple, Mr. Green explained. He had made up all the stuff about the cattywampus. There had never been any such animal. The information in our notes was , , incorrect. Did we expect for incorrect answers?

Needless to say, we were extremely . What kind of test was that? And what kind of teacher?

We have figured it out, Mr. Green said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattywampus skull(in truth, a cat’s), hadn't he been telling us that no trace of the animal ? He had described its amazing night vision, the color of its fur and a number of other facts he couldn't have known. He had given the animal a ridiculous name, and we still hadn't been suspicious. The zeroes on papers would be recorded in his grade book, he said. And they .

Mr. Green said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. Teachers and textbooks are not to be trusted . In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

My name is Kenn Nesbitt and I’m a poet. I started writing poems as a hobby in 1994. At the time, I never gave any thought to publishing them; I just wrote for my own amusement. But it was so much fun that I ended up writing a lot of poems, which led me to the idea of creating a website, and at last writing books. If you want to write poems, I have some advice for you.

My ideas mostly come from my imagination. That is, I like to sit and daydream, and see what kinds of crazy things I can think up. For kids, I suggest that whenever you think of an idea, you should write it down, even if you don’t have time write them to create a whole poem from your idea. I have notebooks full of ideas that I haven’t written poems about yet. So I can always look through my notebooks and find something fun to write about.

One way to make poems interesting is to write about things readers can understand: school, family, food, pets, games, sports, and so on. To make a poem funny, I often ask myself, “What kinds of funny things might happen at school, or over dinner? What funny things might your pets do?” and it’s OK to make things up, such as having a pet elephant, or a pet that plays video games. Use your imagination and see where it leads. But the best advice I can give kids is not to just write one poem, it might be a great one, or maybe not so good. But if you write ten poems, you’ll probably find that, even though they aren’t all perfect, a few of them are much better than the others.

1.Why did the author start writing poems at first?

A. To publish them. B. To entertain himself.

C. To contribute to a website. D. To kill time.

2.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. How to write poems. B. How to think up crazy things.

C. How to get ideas for poems. D. How to become creative.

3.According to the author, what is the best advice he can give us?

A. Just write great poems. B. Write as many as possible.

C. Make poems as funny as possible. D. Try to make things up in your poems.

4.Where does the author come from?

A. America B. China C. Germany D. not mentioned

5.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To suggest some poems written by him.

B. To show writing poems isn’t that hard.

C. To tell readers how to write poems.

D. To explain how he writes poems.

A teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the damaging, and often unseen, consequences of bullying. And her post about the powerful lesson has gone viral.

Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced the children to two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that prior to the lesson, Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect. "I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short," Dutton wrote.

She then encouraged the students to do the same. Some of the children looked at her like she was “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.

Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with comments like: “Your skin is beautiful," and "what a beautiful colour you are."

Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, highlighting that "there was no change, both apples still looked the same."

That is, until she cut them open. "The apple we'd said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy inside," she said.

There was, she said, an immediate "light bulb" moment for her students. "They really got it. What we saw inside that apple, the bruises, the mush and the broken bits is what is happening inside every one of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions."

Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.

“Let’s create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”

1.What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?

A. She had introduced it to the kids.

B. She had damaged it purposely.

C. She had made it look perfect.

D. She had coloured it brightly.

2.What does the underlined part “calling it names” (Para. 3) mean?

A. Saying rude things. B. Making fun of it.

C. Cheering for it. D. Shouting at it.

3.What did the teacher instruct the kids to do with the second apple?

A. Drop it. B. Praise it. C. Ignore it. D. Observe it.

4.What’s the purpose of the teacher’s using two apples in class?

A. To draw the kids’ attention.

B. To explain her personal preferences.

C. To make a comparison between them.

D. To help the kids understand the results of bullying.

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges．It is also one of the most visited places in the world．More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.

The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings．The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area．But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color．It was named for the body of water that it crosses, the Golden Gate Strait, which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean．

Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing．People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries．Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project．Work began in 1934．Mr．Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building．These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes．A special safety net was suspended under the bridge．This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937．It extends 1,280 meters across the water．The total length is 2,737 meters．It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥) in the world until 1964．That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City．Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world．

1.What was the Golden Gate Bridge named after?

A. The Strait it crosses. B. The color of paint.

C. The local climate. D. Its natural surroundings.

2.How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?

A. By plane． B. By train． C. By road． D. By boat．

3.Why was a special safety net suspended under the bridge?

A. He built the first suspension bridge in the world.

B. His safety measures were not of practical value.

C. He attached importance to the workers’ safety.

D. He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.

On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 km from London!
