That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
“ Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said,” Hello, Karmen. I’m Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.
One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she didn’t still turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遗嘱), which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remembered the wonderful friendship we had.

     Have you seen Avatar (《<阿凡达》)?
     It's a popular movie this year. It is three-dimensional (3D), so you may have to wear a special pair of
glasses to see it. The 3D glasses make the images (图像) from the movie look like they are coming straight
at you.
     More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. Some say that 3D TV sets will come into our homes
in the near future. Three-dimensional technology can make TV and movies more exciting. But people with
eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies. Why?
     When we look at an object, each eye sees it at a different angle (角度). Our eyes send the two images
to our brain, and the brain puts them together. That' show we see depth.
     Three-dimensional technology uses two film projectors (投影机). One projects a left eye image and the
other projects a right eye image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.
     There are a lot of people walking around with very small eye problems, for example an eye muscle
imbalance. Under normal situations, the brain can get used to their eyes so they can see things normally.
     But when they are watching a 3D movie, the images projected to their eyes can't be put together by their
brain.
     So the brain needs to work harder at "reading" the images. That makes it easier for these people to get
dizzy or develop headaches.
     Dr John Hagan, an eye doctor in Kansas City, said some people who do not see depth normally cannot
see in 3D at all. He said people whose eyes can' t focus on (聚焦) the same object at once will have trouble
seeing 3D images.
1. When we wear a pair of 3D glasses, _____.
A. our brain will get a different image from each eye
B. our brain will put the different objects together
C. our eyes will focus on the same object easily
D. our eyes will see an object at the same angle
2. What does the underlined words "normal situations" mean?
A. When people see things normally.
B. When people have no eye problems.
C. When people don't have a headache.
D. When people aren't seeing a 3D movie.
3. What does the writer want to tell us in this passage?
A. Seeing 3D movies can bring us eye problems.
B. Not all the people can watch 3D images.
C. The 3D glasses make the movie seem alive.
D. The 3D movies will be very popular soon.

    When I was a child, my mother often told me, “Don’t run around, or bad uncles will grad(抓住) you. And you know what? You will never see Mum and Dad again.”

    “Why, Mama? Why would these uncles grab me?” I would ask. “The city is a dangerous place and we don’t trust any strangers, ”she would reply.

  Well, that might answer the question of why my second brother never picks up calls from an unknown person either on his mobile or his home phone. It seems that he doesn’t care if he misses an important call. because he thinks that all unknown calls are from bad persons.

    So, have we given too much protection to our young kids? Perhaps it is so. But the adults’ thoughts are indeed easy to understand. The kids meet swindlers sometimes as we adults tell them. Also they get some news about cheating(欺骗) in newspapers or on TV every day. That makes the kids believe that they just cannot trust strangers.

    Let’s look at an example from everyday life. Say, if someone carrying a wooden stick(棍子) comes nearer to you, will you try to run away at once even before he or she starts talking to you? Will you guess this person’s intentions(意图) and think that he or she wants to rob(抢劫) you of something? Think of the answer for yourself.

    Of course, the kids should look after themselves, but overprotection can sometimes stop them from making new friends. Sometimes it’s not good for their new friendships.

    Trust is like a mirror. When we offer trust to people, they might just show you trust in return.

1 What do “swindlers” probably do?

  A. They cheat other people.

  B. They often call other people.

  C. They rob people of something.

  D. They teach children to protect themselves.

2 Which of the following is NOT the reason why children don’t trust strangers?

  A. Their parents tell them not to trust strangers.

  B. They get to know some news about cheating in newspapers or on TV every day.

  C. Strangers always have bad intentions.

  D. They sometimes have experiences of being cheated.

3 What does the writer want to tell us?

  A. Children should always follow their parents’ advice.

  B. We should never talk to strangers.

  C. Parents should learn to protect their children.

  D. People should try to trust each other.
