The policy is that a child can keep a toy as long as they want to. If another child wants the toy, they have to 36 until the first child is done with it. We are 37 “save” toys for the child if they have to go to the bathroom, or go to the snack table, etc. so that it wont be 38 before they are done. This applies to anything in the school that can be 39 , including swings(秋千) and monkey bars.That is the 40 that all the kids know, so they dont feel uncomfortable when you tell them, “You can have it was Sally Joe is done.” But 41 Ive been noticing a totally different attitude towards 42 in other places where I go. Gradually(逐渐地), Im starting to 43 why the rule of the school is important. Here is a(n) 44 of sharing practices that Ive seen lately. My good friend and her 45 were at the park one day. He had 46 a small car from home to play with. Another child, a lot bit 47 , wanted to play with the car and was demanding that my friends son 48 him the car. A typical little boy fighting started. I stopped them 49 . I heard the other mother told her son angrily, “I guess his mom didnt 50 him how to share”, which I dont think so.I think that it is 51 to teach a child that he should have something that someone else has, simply because he wants it. 52 it belongs to someone else, not yours. If you want to share his, “No” is a perfectly 53 response, unless hes ready to share with you or you 54 it with something. Even if it is something public, when another is playing it, you should wait for your 55 politely. Therefore, how to share and how to treat it are important.36. A. seeB. waitC. sayD. cry37. A. everB. yetC. evenD. also38. A. takenB. studiedC. damagedD. improved39. A. covered upB. made upC. dealt withD. played with40. A. difficultyB. growthC. ruleD. answer41. A. finallyB. immediatelyC. rarelyD. recently42. A. workingB. helpingC. sharingD. supporting43. A. understandB. wonderC. decideD. suggest44. A. wayB. exampleC. stepD. idea45.

There is no one in charge of the Internet. It is sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for. It is also easy to get the wrong information on the “Net”.Some businessmen cheat people on the Internet. Internet thieves can steal credit card numbers. Some advertisers send spam to e-mail boxes. E-mail boxes are often filled with these unwanted advertisements. Illegal businesses can operate on the Internet. These businesses sell X-rated materials, cigarettes and alcohol to teenagers. The Internet has websites with information about making bombs, breaking the law and terrorism. Criminals can fool people, especially children, in chat rooms. They can spread poisonous information and attack new members. The Internet is the greatest advance in communication since human emerged. But it can also be like a dark alley in a dangerous part of town. Parents need to set parental controls on their children when they use the Internet. This will keep some of the bad materials away from their children. The Internet can be dangerous to computers, too. Some people who have evil intentions enjoy causing problems for other people they dont even know. They create computer viruses. A computer can get viruses by downloading a program that has a virus in it. Some viruses come by e-mail. A virus can destroy the data a person has saved in computer files. A virus can cause a computer to crash. A virus can also reproduce itself! It can send copies of itself to everyone on a persons e-mail address list. Then these peoples computers will have the same problems and cant work normally! 56. The underlined word “spam” in the third paragraph means _. A. letters B. productsC. useless informationD. poisonous information57. Why can illegal businesses operate on the Internet? A. Because there is no one in charge of the Internet. B. Because some people like to buy banned products on the Internet. C. Because X-rated materials, cigarettes, alcohol and so on can be sold well on the Internet. D. Because people who operate businesses on the Internet are criminals. 58. Parental controls are needed when children use the Internet because _. A. children cant use the computers wellB. children may damage the computersC. the Internet is always unsafe for the childrenD. poisonous information may have a bad effect on children59. We can infer from the passage that the key to solving the problems with the Internet is _. A. to improve the computers B. to improve peoples moral levelC. to order people not to use the Internet D. to find a medicine to kill computer virusesBIf you are a human, you cant help but experience the time when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during the low time that words of encouragement from family, friends, coworkers or even strangers can boost your spirits. It is also during the low time that destructive words can be devastating(毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit.The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to tell him to give up. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Dont let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.60. Why did the frog that succeeded in jumping to safety neglect(忽视) the other frogs comments?ABecause he would like to jump out of the pit.BBecause he could hardly hear what the other frogs said.CBecause he didnt want to give up his hope.DBecause he had a positive attitude toward life.61. What can we infer from the first paragraph?AThere is no way to go when we go wrong.BLife depends on encouragement.CDestructive words will lead to death.DWords are playing an important role around us.62. The writer mainly wants to tell us _ in the last paragraph.Athe power of words Bpositive wordsCnegative words Dthe opportunities to say somethingCLakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather. But water also can be dangerous for kids if you dont take great care. Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning.Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:At the Lake or Pondl Dont let little kids swim alone without adult supervision lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore. l Ponds and lakes may hide jagged(锯齿状的) rocks, broken glass, or rubbish. l Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes. l Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm. l Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol(饮酒). Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water. At the Beachl Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty. Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides(暗流). Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions. l Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over. l Teach kids that if theyre caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim parallel（顺行地） to the shore or should tread （踩）water and call for a lifeguards help. Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning.63. Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach? AGo off the water without a lifeguard on duty BGo on swimming in a heavy rain CGo off the water before checking the water conditions DCall for help if caught in a dangerous wave 64. A child should_ at a lake.Aswim on his/her own Bbe careful about weeds and grass Cswim without shoes on Ddrink only a little wine 65. Swimming at a beach is more dangerous than in a pool because .Athere are no lifeguards at a beach Bthere are currents and tides at a beach Cthe waters of a beach are more calm. Dthe waters of a pool are warmer 66. The passage is probably written for .Astudents at school Bkids who want to learn swimming Cparents with little children Dcoaches who teach kids to swim 67. In which column(栏目) of a magazine can you find this passage?AEducation BScience CEntertainment DSportsD There is an interesting, but at the same time a sad phenomenon now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good music. Many singers or bands know little about what good music means. What is the cause of this rise? Most of these singers have taken music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have a good appearance and also expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boy. They will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level. Therefore, we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothing to do with music. They choose to wear very provocative(挑逗性的) clothes to catch attention, but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess and one doesnt need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent. But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to another. It is the publics fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music. People who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bands. However, the young generation should understand while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voice. If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help them improve singing abilities. 68. The passage shows that many singers consider music as _. A. an art serving the public B. a good way of making money C. a way of living fully D. a fashionable lifestyle 69. From the passage we can learn that _. A. appearance is the most important thing in the world of music B. all people who have received training in singing can become famous C. adults should help young people improve their abilities D. a singers talent and voice are the most important factors 70. What do you think is the authors attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Worried. 71. What kind of article does this passage belong to? A. entertainmentB. sportC. commentD. story EMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries like the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafs rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words ar
