But do you know there is a holiday called Sweetest Day in the USA? Does it mean people can eat lots of sweet on that day?Sweetest Day is a popular holiday for Americans. People celebrate it on the third Saturday in October. On that day, people show their love to the elderly, children, their good friends or anyone else they want to help. Orphans(孤儿) and patients can also enjoy peoples greetings. In fact, anyone may get a gift on that day. Its just a day that offers people a chance to show their love and care to others.How did the holiday originate? Here is a story. In 1922, a very kind man in Cleverland, a city in Ohio of America, thought that many poor people in the city needed care from others. He wanted them to be happy and he hoped they would find people always remembered them and cared about them. So he gave them boxes of sweets or small gifts to show his love. He also asked his friends and neighbors to help him do these things. Many people thought it was a great idea. After that, more and more people in Cleverland began to do things like him every year. Gradually(逐渐地) it became a popular holiday for lots of Americans.（1）October 6th is the first Saturday in October this year, so Sweetest Day will be celebrated on. A . October 6B . October 13C .

Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals（信号）Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means yes. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means no. If you want the pilot to know that its safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that its not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so its a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isnt hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless youre sure that it cant spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIts a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you cant find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F I need food and water.II I need medicine.I I am badly hurt.X I am unable to move from here.Pilots repliesIf the pilot lowers the planes wings from side to side, this means message received and understood. (At night, the pilot flashes the planes green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means message received but not understood.(At night, the pilot flashes the planes red lights.)However, there is no signal which means message not received. Why not?（1）Which picture means its not safe land?A . B . C . D . （2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Swinging your arm from side to side means yes.B . If the ground is dark, light smoke cant be seen.C . If you need some medicine, make a symbol II.D . The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.（3）What is the passage mainly about?A . The explanation of building signals on an island.B . The importance of making signals on an island.C . Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D . Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island4. （8分） TOKYO, JAPAN-What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂）？ Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器）.Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people cant,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾）to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须）. They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches dont always move in the right direction.（1）The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because _.A . they want cockroaches to do things people cant in the futureB . they want to control the movements of the cockroachesC . they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakesD . they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches（2）What can cockroaches do to help people?A . They can lift 20 times their own weight.B . They can help people to carry very small cameras.C . They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.D . They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.（3）Scientists control cockroaches movements _.A . by removing their wingsB . by sending signals from the remote controlC . by using very small camerasD . by removing their antennae（4）What problem do the rcscarchcrs meet with?A . The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move.B . The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction.C . The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble.D . The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.5. （10分）根据短文内容，判断正误。AJohn and Bob joined a company at the same time. They both worked very hard.
