That year , in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners……
Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.
Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.
However, Little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him……
It was the new teacher!
The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.

I need to get some money, so after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham's for the first two weeks of the January sale. I can't say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I'll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock(货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn't sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in“seconds”, clothes not in perfect condition, for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of building. This made me very nervous.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn't believe my eyes; this wasn't shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl (爬行) through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper (脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham's were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

查看习题详情和答案>>without knowing why? Going from sadness to anger to joy in a matter of minutes can make many
teens feel as though they're losing their control. But why is the feeling of being on an emotional roller
coaster (急转突变) so common among teens?
Dealing with constant change and pressure is part of the answer. Maybe you're starting a new
school and not able to see old friends as much. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports
or other activities can be a concern for many teens. It might feel as though there just isn't enough time
to do everything.
Being a teen means struggling with identity and selfimage. Being accepted by friends feels
extremely important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and
family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also
seem overwhelming (压倒的) and even a bit lonely at times. As fun and exciting as this time is, it also
can be a time of confusion and conflict.
Another important cause for mood swings is biology. When puberty (青春期) begins, the body
starts producing sex hormones. These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But in some
people, they also seem to cause emotional changes-the ups and downs that sometimes feel out of
control.
Feeling irritable or shorttempered can be signs of depression. So can feelings of boredom or
hopelessness. Many people think of depression as feeling sad, but depression can also bring feelings
of moodiness, impatience, anger. When depression gets in the way of enjoying life or dealing with
others, that's a sign you need to do something about it, like talking to a counselor or therapist (治疗
专家) who can help you deal with it.
Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to handle: recognize
you're not alone, catch your breath, count to 10, talk to people you trust, exercise, cry or wait.
B. reasonable
C. predictable
D. natural
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
B. What the result of depression is.
C. Bad mood can cause bad effects.
D. It's important to be dependent.
B. Angry.
C. Unhappy.
D. Impatient.
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, "I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied, "He’s out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go to tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained that their names were Wealth(财富), Success and Love. Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed and he suggested inviting Wealth to fill their home with wealth. And his wife wanted to invite Success; but their daughter-in-law suggested they should invite Love so that their home would be filled with love. At last the husband said to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house.
The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It’s wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.
To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn ; butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these — the breaststroke — is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.
In swimming, there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:
(1) Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.
(2) Don’t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.
(3) Don’t smoke .Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.
(4) Work at any activity that builds muscles.
1.What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words)
2.Which age is best for a child to learn swimming? ( no more than 2 words )
3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. ( no more than 7 words )
4.Why can’t you swim alone according to the passage? ( no more than 10 words)
