Look at your classmates around you. You all wear the same uniform and similar sneakers(球鞋) .Do you want to stand out among them? What about a hedgehog backpack (刺猬包) ？A fashionable and useful backpack can be a great idea!

   Backpacks are lightweight and easy to carry on the go.

   They are great tools for students. They help you to stay organized. You can keep school things,books and personal items like cell phones and keys neatly. With a unique backpack,you can also stand out among your classmates.

   Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks,backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile,they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos.

   But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today. It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modem backpack in 1951. He used nylon (尼龍) and aluminum tubing (鋁制管型材料) to make backpacks lightweight.

   Today,backpacks come in different styles. Rolling (滾動(dòng)的) backpacks have wheels on the bottom. Users can pull them along the ground if they are too heavy to carry on their shoulders.

   Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example,someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy,but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “ I visit the shore once in a blue moon. ” While many people use this phrase,not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

   The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually has to do with the shape of the moon,not the color.

   As the moon travels around the earth,it appears to change shapes. We associate (聯(lián)系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example,when we can see a small part of the moon,it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all,it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire moon,it is called a full moon. Usually,there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes,however,there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens,the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.

   Over the next 20 years,there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see,a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.

1. A blue moon will happen in nature .

   A. when there are two full moons in one month

   B. when the moon has a blue color

   C. when we cannot see the moon at all

   D. when we can only see a small part of the moon

2. As described in Paragraph 3 ,what is another example of something that has a crescent shape?

   A. Your thumb. B. A distant star.

   C. The letter “C”.   D. The letter “O”.

3. According to the last paragraph,over the next 20 years,how often will a blue moon happen?

   A. Once a year.

   B. Less than once a year.

   C. More than once a year.

   D. Not enough information is provided.

4. In the last paragraph the author writes “a blue moon is a very rare event” to .

   A. answer an earlier question

   B. provide an example

   C. support the following conclusion

   D. challenge the above statement

5. Which of the following would be a good example of someone doing something “once in a blue moon”？

   A. Mary likes to go to the mountains every weekend.

   B. Tom seldom remembers to take out the trash.

   C. Cindy hates to wash the dishes. However,she does it every day.

   D. Ming sometimes forgets to do his homework.

   Do you want to collect stamps? Getting started on a new stamp collection can be fun. There are a number of ways to start getting stamps.

   First be sure to ask your family and friends to save the stamps they get. They can just save the whole envelope (信封) for you or they can cut out the stamp part for you. Be sure to have them cut all the way around the stamp so they don't bend or cut the stamp. Also,ask them if they have any old letters in the envelopes. These can be some of the most interesting stamps you’ll come across.

   You can also jump start your collection by buying stamps. You can also get a catalogue of stamps. By looking through the catalogue,you can start to see what kinds of stamps you like and would like to collect. Your tastes may change over time,but some people like to collect stamps from some countries or animal stamps,famous people stamps,etc. One of the cool things about stamps is that there are so many types and ways to collect them.

   How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English,or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.

   People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States,people begin counting with their first finger,which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China,people count by using different finger positions. In this way,a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.

   Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的) people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.

   In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”，“ more trees”，or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count ,“ but here is a group that does not count. They could learn,but it's not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up. ”

   Although all humans are able to understand quantities (數(shù)量) ，not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.

1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to.

   A. make a survey

   B. interest readers

   C. tell a story

   D. solve math problems

2. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the US and China?

   A. People from China count much faster than people from the US.

   B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.

   C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.

   D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.

3. Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?

   A. They have only a few words for numbers.

   B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.

   C. They can only count to five on their fingers.

   D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.

4. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that.

   A. people all over the world know how to count

   B. people of the tribe have words for numbers

   C. some groups of people are not smart enough to count

   D. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

   A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.

   B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.

   C. In some aboriginal cultures,people don't even know how to count.

   D. Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers.
