These days, I’m surprised at what my classmates have changed since school started. It’s not just the new teachers, new buildings, or new rules. I also notice how people are dressing differently. Dressing is not just a choice to keep warm. It’s also a healthy personal choice in so many ways.
Dress rules: Many schools have dress rules. They tell students what to wear at school. The teachers don’t hope to see their students wear unsuitable clothes in the classroom.
Self-respect: The way we dress shows the way we feel about ourselves. If we aren’t confident or need lots of attention, we’ll often dress in ways that help us get that attention. If you want to get attention in a healthy way, you don’t need to dress in an interesting way to express your mind.
Body image(形象): If some kids look very bad or ugly, dressing properly(正確地) can cover them. And it can also help them feel beautiful and comfortable among their friends.
Being what you wear: Dressing is important. Dressing in a wrong way can make people mistake(誤解)you. People like to judge according to what they see. Clothing can often give people a wrong idea.
【小題1】 The writer feels very ____________ because of the way his classmates dress these days.

A．happyB．surprised
C．a(chǎn)ngryD．sad
【小題2】The writer thinks that how a person dresses _______.

【小題3】The underlined word “Self-respect” means “     ” in Chinese in the passage.
A．貶低B．自嘲

【小題4】 The writer suggests that students should wear clothes in the right way      .
A．to help them feel comfortable
B．to become famous
C．to cover their bad habits
D．to avoid(避免) being mistaken


【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】D

My interest in Chinese food started many years ago, when I had my first job. I was a young reporter for the Daily Journal in San Francisco. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown. I usually managed to arrange my time so that I could go there at least two or three times a week for a good meal.
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. And since then, it just tastes better and better to me. The first thing I noticed was the fresh tastes of the meat and vegetable. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
About 5000 years ago, China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor management of its forest. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to learn how to use it better.
In order to use less wood in cooking, they started to cut their meat and vegetable into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in the manner kept its fresh flavor(風(fēng)味)--- and its this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking.
I often wonder if the Chinese appreciated their solution to that ancient energy problem as much as I do now --- whenever I eat Chinese food.
【小題1】This passage is mainly about ___________.

A．why Chinese food tastes fresh
B．what Chinese food tastes like
C．how Chinese food is cooked
D．what makes Chinese food special
【小題2】The author got to know Chinese food _______________.
A．when he worked as a reporter in China
B．from a news story in the Daily Journal
C．a(chǎn)fter he got a taste of it in the Chinatown
D．before he got his first job in San Francisco
【小題3】The author thought the Chinese cut meat and vegetable into small pieces in order to _____________.
A．keeping its fresh flavor
B．saving their hard –to-get wood
C．producing a different kind of food
D．a(chǎn)ttracting westerners to their food
【小題4】The word “ fuel” in the 4th paragraph most probably means ____________.
A．fresh flavor B．meat and vegetable
C．hot oil D．firewood
【小題5】According to the passage, the special freshness of Chinese food is the result of _______________.
A．the wood used to make the cooking fire
B．the fast speed at which it is cooked
C．the high quality of Chinese meat and vegetable
D．the well –developed art of Chinese cooking

Miss Wu is a young teacher of English in China. She loves teaching very much. One day when she was giving an English lesson, she found the headmaster sitting at the back of the classroom. After class, the headmaster told her that he came to her class to find out how much English and how much Chinese she was using. The result was about half English and half Chinese.

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way.
Some students say they don’t want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure read­ing is too easy.
Many experts（專家）say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.
Dr. Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.
Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don’t have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:
●learn how English speakers use English
●read faster in English
●find examples of good writing in English
●learn new words
●learn about the cultures（文化）of English speakers
【小題1】Is pleasure reading important for learning English?
【小題2】Which is the easier way to become a better reader, pleasure reading or studying?
【小題3】What do some students think of pleasure reading?
【小題4】How can we become better readers?
【小題5】What’s the greatest advantage（優(yōu)點）of pleasure reading?

We each have a memory(記憶力). That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things in a short time, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
【小題1】Some people can easily learn many things in a short time because______.

A．they always sleep very wellB．they often eat good food
C．they read a lot of booksD．they have very good memories

A．a(chǎn)t the age of sixB．when he is a small child

【小題3】Before a child can speak, he must _____________.                .
A．read and writeB．make sentences
C．hear and remember the soundsD．think hard
【小題4】Why can a Chinese learn English easily if he is in England?

Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.
【小題1】Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ___________.

A．will work hardB．will become heroes
C．will follow herD．will achieve her goal
【小題2】The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ___________.

【小題3】From the passage we know that ___________.
A．there are fewer heroes than before

C．heroes should be polite, patient and famous
D．heroes have to do some great things
【小題4】The best title for this passage is ___________.
A．What Heroes DoB．Who Are Heroes
C．How Heroes LiveD．Where Heroes are

To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary.
If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word. “Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English. When such a thing happens, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English.
The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. It uses a special alphabet (特殊字母表) to show pronunciation. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters (音標(biāo)) with some words to show you how they are pronounced.
