Your parents have just told you the news­­—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?
First, CALM DOWN.  36   a while to ­­­catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make   37   you have the whole story before you start telling people.
38  friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about  39  you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let  40  frie-
nds know, but the phone may be fine for others.   41  after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.
HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share   42   you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m    43  .” Tell him as many details as you know,  44   let him know how you feel about it.
Each friend will have a different   45  to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may   46  crying. But some may get   47  , some may get silly, and some may give you the   48   that they don’t care.   49  happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say   50  your feelings.
Ask friends not to tell anyone else   51  you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell   52  until Monday.” That will give you a   53  to let close friends hear the news from you first.
Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n)   54  may be able to help you
55   the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.

　  Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has stayed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since then, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
　　The first plants to stay out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）happened quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根), and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
59．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
　　A. life on land probably began 430 years ago
　　B. the first animal on land came from oceans
　　C. there wouldn't have been animals without plants
　　D. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy
60．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
　　A. Algae probably has stayed for more than 430 million years.
　　B. It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.
　　C. Plants get food from animals in the oceans.
　　D. Evolution began after animals appeared on land.
61．Plants with roots appeared about ________ million years ago.
　　A. 430　　　　　B. 300　　　　　 C. 330　　　　　 D. 100
62．According to the passage, ________ appeared earlier than ________.
　　A. apples; oranges　　　　　　　　 B. oranges; apples
　　C. oranges; roses　　　　　　　　　D. algae; wheat

C
Not many years ago, some American farmers began to complain about hawks(鹰). The hawks were killing chickens. The farmers did not know what to do. They went to the government officials and asked for help.
The officials said, “ We’ll pay you for each hawk you kill.” The farmers began to kill the hawks. Many hawks were killed, but the farmers now had another problem. The field mice were growing in number and they were eating up the farmers’ corn. Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But if the farmers had known that, they would not have upset(打乱) the balance of nature. In one part of the USA, there are deer which eat a kind of wild rose. The deer are eaten by mountain lions. The number of deer, mountain lions, and wild rose does not change much if people stay away from them. If there are too many deer, mountain lions will increase rapidly in number and kill many deer. If there are too many mountain lions, there will be fewer deer and there will be more roses.
It is always necessary for us to keep the balance of nature. The government once killed almost all the mountain lions to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then they began to eat the green leaves of young trees which were important to the farmers.
So the farmers protected their trees from the deer. The deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died.
The government learned a valuable lesson from nature.
44. What had happened after the hawks were killed?
A. People wouldn’t worry about their chickens.
B. The number of the field mice became too large.
C. The number of the field mice became small.
D. The field mice were eating up the farmers’ corn.
45. Why did American people have to protect their trees?
A. Because the mountain lions destroyed the trees.
B. Because there were so many deer that they began to eat the green leaves.
C. Because they wanted the trees to grow well.
D. Because the trees are more important than the deer.
46. What can we learn from the article?
A. We must keep the balance of nature.
B. We must not kill any animals.
C. we must feed the hawks with our corn to keep the balance of nature.
D. Both A and B.
