Host: Hello! I'm Gavin from All Talk 970 FM. Welcome to our program. Today our topic is part-time jobs. Are they good for school children or not?

　　Headmaster (校长) : Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they fall asleep in class.

　　Mrs Bttck: I agree. I know school hours are short, but there's homework too, and children need a lot of sleep.

　　Mr Black: Young children perhaps, but some boys stay at school until they're eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can't harm them. In fact, it's good for them. They themselves earn their pocket-money. And they see something of the world outside school.

　　Businessman: You're quite right. Boys learn a lot from a parttime job. And we mustn't forget that some families need the extra money. If the students don't take part-time jobs, they can't stay at school.

　　Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why?

　　It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

　　If you study the animal life, you' 11 find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colours much like the trees.

　　Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌) cannot find it. And it immediately, swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

(1) From the passage we learn that locusts ________.

[　　]

A. are small animals

B. are easily found by birds

C. are dangerous to their enemies

D. change their colours to protect themselves

(2) How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger？

[　　]

A. They run away quickly.

B. They have the colours much like their enemies.

C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night.

D. They have to move quietly.

(3) Bears and lions can keep safe because ________.

[　　]

A. they have the colours much like the trees

B. they move quietly

C. they like brown and grey colours

D. they live in forests

(4) Why can the kind of fish live up to now?

[　　]

A. Because it is very big and strong.

B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.

C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.

D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.

(5) Which is the best title for this passage?

[　　]

A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests

　　Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

　　Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it doses, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

(1) Those who have big houses may often feel ________

[　　]

(2) When you fall down in a P, E. class, both your teacher and your classmates will

[　　]

(3) What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?

[　　]

(4) Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?

[　　]

A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.

B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.

C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

(5) Which of the following is this passage about?

　　We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood. They learn history to know something about human beings they meet every day. What they learn at school is, of course, quite useful, but is that the only reason why they go to school?

　　No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school, above all, to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or does it badly. So the purpose (目的) of school is not just to teach the students these useful subjects but teach the way to learn.

[　　]

A. they can grow fast at school
