Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. ①Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don’t wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is.
If you have more than an hour’s work，you should give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand，② you should work at least half an hour a time without stopping.
Don’t put it off（推遲）until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework，you will have it on your mind，and you won’t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until night before a test，you will have too much catching up to do. A little each night, enough to keep up with（跟上）what is happening each day in school，will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit. It will make part of your daily work easier to do，and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.
小題1:改寫①句使句意不變。
_________ you get too tired, you should _______  doing your homework.
小題2:What will happen if you put off your homework until the last minute?

閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容回答問題。
These days, many Chinese people are happy about a piece of news. What is it? China may become the second largest economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)體) in the world. It’s only behind the US.
But is China the second richest country, too?
No. The economy is like a cake. The US, Japan and China each makes one. China makes the second biggest cake. But lots of people have to eat it. Why? There are 1.3 billion people in China. And there are only 300 million people in the US and 127 million in Japan. So, in China, each person only gets a very, very small piece of cake. But people in the US and Japan have bigger pieces.
China is not as rich as the US and Japan. For example, in the US, in every 100 people, 75 can surf the Internet; in Japan it is 74 in 100. But in China, only 26 people in 100 use the Internet.
China’s large economy brings good things. People in China have more jobs and money. We also have more influence (影響) in the world.
小題1:China is the second largest economy in the world, isn’t it?
                                                     
小題2:Why isn’t China as rich as the US and Japan?
                                                     
小題3:How many people in 100 can use the Internet in China?
                                                     
小題4:Who can get bigger pieces of cake, Chinese or Americans?

閱讀下面的短文， 并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）
_[1]If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
[2]According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
[3]The researchers also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second language.
[4]A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通兩種語言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
[5]Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without___________________. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
[6] “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
[7]It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
[8]Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
小題1:What is the best title for this passage? （no more than 10 words）
_____________________________________________________________________
小題2:Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
Mastering two languages can broaden your views in the world and makes you clever.
_______________________________________________________________________________
小題3:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words． （no more than 4 words）
______________________________________________________________________________.
小題4:What does the word "they" Line2, Paragraph4） probably refer to? （no more than 5 words）
______________________________________________________________________________.
小題5:What do you think of English learning after you read this passage?
（no more than 10 words）
______________________________________________________________________________.
