Just as I came back home. I heard a sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was from my favourite violin.

“Thief （小偷）!”

I rushed upstairs and saw a boy in dirty clothes pulling my violin down. At first sight, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed he was surely a thief.

However, when I saw his eyes full of fear, my anger disappeared. I smiled and asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s student Rubens? I’m his butler（男管家）. I’ve heard Mr. Ram say his student will come. It must be you.”

“Has my teacher gone out ?” the boy said, “I think I’d better visit him again in a while/”

I nodded and asked him, “Do you like playing the violin?”

“Yes, but I’m too poor to afford one.” the boy replied.

“Then, I’ll give you this violin.” The boy looked at me surprisingly, but he picked up the violin. While going out of the room, he suddenly saw a huge photo of me playing the violin at the Grand Theatre of Sydney on the wall. His face turned pale. He stood there for a moment and ran out. He must have understood what had happened because no master（主人）would put up the butler’s photo on the wall of his living room.

A few years later, at a music competition in Melbourne, I was invited to be the judge （评委）. Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize.

After the prize-giving, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, his face red, and asked, “Mr. Brian, do you still know me? You gave me the violin, which I have treasured ever since! Today, I want to say sorry and give back this violin to you without regret…”

He was just the “Mr. Ram’s student”!

Dear Lucy,

In your last letter, you asked me how to show love to your parents. 1.

★Make a picture for them. Whether with pencils or paints, it’ll be valuable to them forever.

★Cook them a dinner! It can be some rice, some cheese or some hot dogs. 2.

★Tell them that you love them very often. Your love can make them feel warm and proud.

★ 3. Probably the biggest way to show them you love them is never to lie. This shows them that you not only love them, but also believe in and respect them.

★ 4. Watch a film with your mom once in a while, or go to a sports match with your dad once in a while just to show them how much you care and want to be closer to them.

★If you do something wrong, say sorry to them and explain it! They will know your regret. You could do something for them to show that you want to make it up to them. 5.

Yours,

Agony

根据短文内容回答短文后面的问题， 并把答案写在答题卡（纸）的相应位置。

At 5:05 pm on March 19, a loud alarm sounded around the playground of Tanghu Middle School, Sichuan. Students hurried to the playground with something covering their mouths. Don’t worry. There wasn’t a fire. Students were having a fire drill（演习）. School is a good place for students to study. Yet sometimes, it is easy to have accidents there.

A survey suggests that right safety training could prevent 80 percent of these accidents. In China, fire drills at school are common to teach students to deal with emergencies（紧急情况）. At the same time, many other countries have their own ways to keep children safe around school.

In Japan, public primary schools hold earthquake drills once a month. They teach students safety tips during an earthquake drill. The training teaches students to escape from earthquake-stricken areas without pushing and stampeding（踩踏）.

Most US school buildings have fire escapes on each floor. A fire escape has platforms with stairs and ladders. They are usually made of iron. Students can get to the fire escape through a fire exit door or a window.

In many middle schools in the UK, students can choose to take a bicycle course. There, they learn how to ride to school safely. Also, on roads without traffic lights near schools, there are crossing guards. They wear bright color clothes and stop cars to guide children across the road safely.

1.Did a fire really happen in Tanghu Middle School?

2.How often are earthquake drills held in public primary schools in Japan?

3.How do the students get to the fire escape in the US?

4.Who helps to guide children across the road safely in the UK?

5.How many countries are mentioned in the article?
