Today Newtown is a very clean place. But many years ago, there were millions of rats(老鼠)in Newtown. They attacked(袭击) the cats and dogs. Sometimes a lot of them knocked down a man or woman walking home at night. The rats were very big in size and they hurt many people.
The government (政府) ordered (命令) everybody to kill rats. Most people were lazy, so they did not kill many. Then the government decided to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They killed thousands of rats every day. A government officer put all the dead rats in a big pile(堆). Sometimes a man brought hundreds in one day.
After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought many rats to the government office. The government officer thought that people were stealing (偷) dead rats from the pile. He ordered his men to dig a deep hole and put the rats in it. Soon there were no more rats, and the government did not pay any more money.

Communication between parents and children is becoming a serious problem. I read a   41  about it in the newspaper. Some children have killed themselves after   42  with their parents. I think this is because they don’t have a talk with each other. Parents now   43  more time in the office,   44   they don’t have much time to stay with their children. As time passes, they both feel that they don’t have the   45  topic to talk about. I want to tell parents to be more with your   46 , get to know them and   47  them. And for children, show your   48  to your parents. They are the people who love you. So   49  them your thoughts. In this way, you   50  have a better understanding of each other.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than lead.

     Colors do influence our moods (情绪). A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area -- until it was repainted green.[来

     Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

  1. An active person may like

          A. yellow, orange, or red                       B. yellow, black, or red

          C. orange, blue, or black                     D. black, red, or orange

          A. tired               B. bored               C. worried            D. relaxed

   3. More people killed themselves on the black bridge than on any other bridge probably because ____

          A. the bridge was very tall                     B. the bridge was too crowded

          C. people didn't like the bridge                D. the color of the bridge was depressing

    4. In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work __

          A. worse              B. harder              C. more slowly        D. more angrily

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．Ioften wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good ateverything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the footballteam．
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something
special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how hehugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things Iwas going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big[]hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother’s face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，thisis the proudest moment of my life．”
It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win aNobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．
