Jodie’s Daddy Is a Garbageman(垃圾清理工)
Mr Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbageman!”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.
“Silence!” Mr Swales said, “Being a garbagemen is a difficult and useful job. We should all be grateful to Jodie’s father.”
Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him the way she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.
Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”
Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn’t seem angry or hurt. “Well,” he said, “they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”
The place really smelt too bad. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don’t worry, kid. In five minute you won’t smell a thing.” said her father.
Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.
It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.
“Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making other happy. That’s why I like being a garbageman so much.”
Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbageman daddy a big kiss(吻). She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbage-girl!”
Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要講述了一個(gè)女孩對(duì)自己爸爸從事垃圾清潔工這一工作態(tài)度和認(rèn)識(shí)的轉(zhuǎn)變的故事，從一開(kāi)始同學(xué)的嘲笑自己感到委屈，而最后得知爸爸工作的辛苦和偉大。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段第二、三句He had just called Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbageman!可知，當(dāng)同學(xué)們知道Jodie的爸爸是一名垃圾清理工時(shí)都在笑話她；故選D。
小題2:正誤判斷題。根據(jù)短文第四段but she didn’t run up to him the way she always did.可知當(dāng)父親回到家時(shí)，她沒(méi)有像往常一樣撲向父親，而沒(méi)有和以前一樣親吻自己的父親，所以A正確，C錯(cuò)誤，When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.一句表明她回家后在自己房間里哭了好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，B正確；Jodie told er father what had happened及接下來(lái)的父親的話語(yǔ)可知D項(xiàng)正確；故選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第十段爸爸的話語(yǔ)“Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making other happy.可知，爸爸要女兒來(lái)到他工作的場(chǎng)所是讓她體驗(yàn)到自己工作的光榮；故選C。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可知爸爸付出了自己的辛勤勞動(dòng)，方便的市民的生活，其精神是大公無(wú)私的；所以女兒為爸爸自豪，而高興地去親吻他；故選B。
小題5:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文最后兩段可看出女兒對(duì)爸爸工作態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變，她總是告訴別人他爸爸工作的光榮和以后也要當(dāng)一名清潔女工來(lái)看，她是為爸爸的工作而自豪的；故選D。

Your immune system protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells(細(xì)胞) move around your body and fight germs.

Do you ever feel a stomachache during a test? Are you ever so worried about something that you even have a headache or can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid —all this can give you a stomachache or a headache.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. Do you know it before? It says that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we should be healthy. We should also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).
This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of a young age should have ten hours’ sleep every night. Children who don’t have enough sleep can’t do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!
The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.
Exercise also keeps the blood（血液）moving around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. Exercise helps us to think better!
