Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and hours, day after day, on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath, and at the front of the house. We also rode together as a family a lot. Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money.Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard in Campbell town, South Australia, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldnt believe that someone would do this.He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox. The following morning, when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope with the magical words, Buy yourself a new bicycle. There was a $100 banknote inside.We were very touched that someone had the heart to do this. Weve never been able to thank the person but we suspect（猜想）that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbors. Bradley painted a big ! on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street.A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensive but remained just as important for those family bicycle rides. Now Bradley is 25. Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.All these years later we are still thankful for the strangers kindness. We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us. We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who the kind stranger was.（1）According to the passage, Bradley often when he was a child.

I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr. Right gave out our papers one after another. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning(叹息),and I could guess by the groans that the scores were not looking good.Mr Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to catch attention, was my score, 55! I let my head go down, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. The scores were not very good, none of you passed, Mr Right said. The highest score in the class was a 55.A 55. Thats me! Suddenly I didnt feel so bad. I had the highest score. I was getting a little better.I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, How did you do in your test?

But its the highest! I insisted (坚持). I dont care what scores others had, you failed. The important thing is what you do! my mother said in a strong way.For years, my mother was always in that way.

Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal. Ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I save him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as l walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. I dont know what to do with him these days, she said. Hes forgotten all the manners we taught him. He hasnt forgot tell them. Hes just decided that hes not going to use them. Sheconfessed(坦白)that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table. Stare at me and say. I dont like your dress: Its ugly. One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. Where did we go wrong? her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much.

Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning.Getting a good nights sleep is important for the learning and memory process. Its important because it stores (储存) the training and learning exercises into our memory forever while were sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. And then the next morning when we wake up, our mind is better prepared to act on that information, Twery, an expert on the science of sleep said.But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. In fact, napping can help older adults with their brain performance and may also help this group of people fight off age-related (年龄相关) memory loss.The researchers studied 3, 000 people and found that those who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental (智力的) tests. The hour-long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. But researchers note that these findings are for those over 65, and for young, healthy adults, an hour-long nap may be too long.At present, were suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or less. Thirty minutes is enough to remove (消除) the pressure and will help us feel more awake. If we nap longer, we will get trapped into (陷入) the deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of, Twery said. This feeling is called sleep inertia (迟钝)the period when you awake from a very deep sleep. For a time, you are unable to think clearly.（1）From Paragraph 1, a good nights sleep _.

The importance of having a good nights sleep.D . How long should people take a nap during the day?（5）In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage? A . NATUREB . SPORTSC . HEALTHD .

They are known as guang chang wu da ma. Their love for square dancing has made them a national phenomenon (现象).However, some people dont think highly of it. Their music is too loud, and they take up too much public space. Besides, they even dance at improper (not proper) places-such as the square in front of the Louvre in Paris, where Chinese tourists broke into a dance last year.Even so, the dancers are growing in number and style. Li Dong, 46, is a pioneer in this field.In addition to keeling fit, square dancing has become so popular because older people who are free from work and from raising children want to be connected with one another. But I think that square dancing has a deeper meaning.By teaching herself different dances, such as Latin, Tango and Cha-cha, Li adds variety (花样) to square dancing. Although we are old, we are curious (好奇的) and want to try different dance style, she adds, because square dancing has attracted so much attention, I want to take it seriously. As for peoples objection (反对), Li says her team has taken the suggestion of turning down the volume (音量) and dancing at proper sites. We are not a trouble at all.（1）Why does the writer mention Chinese tourists broke into a dance in front of the Louvre in Paris?A . Because their music was too loud.B . Because they werent dancing at a proper place.C . Because they took up too much space.D . Because they wanted to show their dancing to others.（2）Which of the following is NOT the reason why older people love square dancing?A . It can help them keep healthy.B . They want to communicate with one anotherC . They are free from work and raising children.D . They want to attract peoples attention.（3）As for peoples objection, Li has .A . taught herself different dances like Latin, etc.B . danced better than beforeC . put on beautiful dressesD . tried to make less noise and choose proper sites（4）Which words can be used to describe Li Dong?A . Curious and creative.B . Helpful and careful.C . Kind and funny.D . Patient and active（5）This passage most probably comes from .A . A story bookB . A science magazineC . A newspaperD . A text book10. （10分） Have you ever seen snow? Many people in the world have not. Some countries never have snow; some have only a little on the tops of very high mountains. In the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England, there is usually little.When a student from a warm country comes to England in autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first. There are often dark clouds, grey sky and cold rain in England in autumn, and most students from warm countries do not like this.But snow is different. Though it is cold, it is also beautiful. Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the student wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks “Is it so late?” and jumps out of bed. But no, it is not very late. He looks out of the window and there is the snow on the ground and on the houses and everywhere. The light of his room comes from clean, beautiful snow.（1）In which part of England is there much snow in winter?A . In the east.
