A smart home is a home with a communication network．This network connects devices （装置），such as TV sets，and allows people to control from far away through mobile phone communication．
More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home，because it makes life much more comfortable．It can help keep your room at a certain temperature．It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone．When you are on vacation abroad，you can use a smart home controller to turn on or off the power when necessary．They can even feed the cat and water the plants．

My Favorite Sweater
By Bonnie Highsmith Taylor
My favorite sweater grew too small．
I love that sweater best of all．
My grandma made it when I was three．
She made that sweater just for me．
I picked the yarn （纱线），a special blue．
The color of bluebells （风铃花）．
When I was three I was very small．
But now I'm five and much too tall．
I have a new jacket now that's green．
So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen．
Queen just gave birth to kittens in her room．
My favorite sweater is now their bed．

28．Who made the sweater？A
A．The grandma．
B．Miss Taylor．
C．The Kittens．
D．The cat Queen．

18．So many of us expect everything we do to be successful．We look forward to success to show us our value or to be the top of the group wherever we are．How many times in our schooling did we hope for a high mark？We want it and then feel like a failure when we don't achieve what we want．Even when we succeed we still pass that and go onto the next success and then the next．We are not often taught how to face failures．
For me，failure taught me more than success did．Success is of the moment and temporary（暂时的）but failure means we have ever done．It makes me stop and think．It opened my eyes and brain to different possibilities．Failure is just a choice in redoing not in giving up．Experiencing failure，I looked deeper and further．
I have a grandson who plays hockey（曲棍球） and as all players do，he went through aslump．So I saw he was unhappy with himself．Then I said to him，"Why don't you think of it differently rather than being unhappy？"And I asked，"Scoring is your goal，right？"He answered，"Of course．""Why aren't you scoring now？Do you need a readjustment（重新调整）？"All of a sudden he calmed down--he was thinking of what I had just said．So in the next game I saw him trying different things to do better．Later he started scoring．Now when something is wrong，he takes the time to think it over rather than just keeping the"failure"mode（方式）．
Look at failure differently．Failure is what gives us power to try a different way of doing things．
It teaches us to rethink，redo，and then success will come about．Don't give up but learn to use a different way．
56．According to the author，when we succeed weC．
A．are quite proud
B．are usually wild with joy
C．usually set up a higher goal
D．usually think of our failure over and over
57．According to the author，failureC．
A．is the thing that troubles people
B．is of the short term or temporary
C．makes us learn more than success does
D．can make him unhappy from time to time
58．What does the underlined word"slump"in Paragraph 3mean？D
A．Course of winning the game．
B．Chance of being well-known．
C．Situation where one works hard．
D．Time of losing heart or being upset．
59．Why did the author's grandson do better in playing hockey in the end？B
A．He grew up and learned more skills．
B．He thought and tried in a different way．
C．He used the skill his grandma taught him．
D．He didn't make a change and kept the"failure"mode．
60．Which is the best title for the text？B
A．Expect Success．
B．Face Failures Differently．
C．My Grandson and I．
D．Keep Failure Mode．

16．My favorite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain．Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St．Petersburg，Missouri．He's a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures （冒险）．He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days．With Huck he goes looking for treasure，with Becky he gets lost in a cave．and finally，they find a box of gold．
My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead．He decides to go to his own funeral．He hides and watches for a time．and then suddenly he appears．Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive．
Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters．Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him．Becky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Tom's best friend．and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story．
The theme of the story is about children growing up．It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America．Finally，it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior．
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today．And although it's only a story．Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real．Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature．Go on---read it!I know you'll enjoy it，too．
34．Where does Tom run away with his two friends？C
A．To a quiet street．
B．To a small town．
C．To an island．
D．To a forest．
35．Who is the bad man in the story？B
A．Huck Finn．
B．Injun Joe．
C．Becky．
D．Polly．
36．The whole book is mainly aboutC．

14．Walt Disney is believed to be successful for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse．However，he cannot get the praise for creating other well-loved characters，such as Cinderella and Snow White．They are almost automatically connected with Disney because Disney turned old fairy tales into cartoon movies．
The original Cinderella is quite different from the Disney version（版本） we know today．It started off with the girl feeling deeply sad about her mother's death．Besides，there were only birds that helped Cinderella； there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice，nor was there mention of a carriage（马车）．
The stepsisters were cruel：they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes（灰） of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor．And she got her name accordingly．
In the original story，the king's ball（舞会） actually lasted for three days．With the help of the birds，the girl，beautifully dressed，danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her．However，she broke away from him to rush back home each night．On the last night，the prince placed something sticky on the stairs ； as Cinderella ran away，a shoe got stuck on it．
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant：when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe，the stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe（脚趾） to fit into the shoe．The daughter did as told．So the prince took her away to be his bride（新娘）．But the birds called out to the prince．
"Turn and peep（瞥见），there's blood in the shoe，
the shoe is too small，the true bride waits for you．"
Realizing he had been tricked，the prince returned the daughter to her mother．The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe，with the same result．Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her．The story ends with the wedding（婚礼） day； as two stepsisters followed her，birds flew by and plucked（啄） out their eyes．Because of their wickedness（邪恶） and falsehood，they had to spend the rest of their days blind．
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version．Thank goodness Disney made such changes； it was a really wise movie．

A．The helpful mice made Cinderella a beautiful dress．
B．The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding．
C．Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose．
D．The birds told the prince that he had been cheated．
84．What does the original story want to tell us？A
A．A wicked person cannot avoid punishment．
B．A nice person is certainly worth admiring．
