    14．April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool．However，the April Fool's Day of 2009was quite different for my mom and me．
      That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game．I had dropped down from a bar（横木）many times in the past without ever having a problem，but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare（噩梦）．I broke my arm．
      Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on．When he saw the problem，he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital．As that day was April Fool's Day，Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke．Mom was finally convinced （确信）by Jimmy's mom．When she saw me，she was in tears because she felt so bad～～she originally（起初）thought tliis was just a big prank（恶作剧）．
      I guess one could compare this to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf．Since I had pulled pranks before，it is no wonder that my mom didn't believe it．I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day．We both learned a valuable lesson．

    A．He had an accident．
    B．He dreamed a terrible dream．
    C．He was hurt by Jimmy．
    D．He fooled his mom with his friend．
    47．Why did Jimmy's dad phone the writer's mom？C
    A．Because he wanted to play a joke on her．
    B．Because he wanted her to go to the hospital to pay the money．
    C．Because he wanted to tell her about the accident．
    D．Because he wanted to see how deeply she loved her soa．
    48．What does the underlined sentence"Mom was not buying it"mean？C
    A．She had no preparation for the bad news．
    B．She would not like to pay the money．
    C．She didn't believe what Jimmy's dad said．
    D．She thought her son deserved （应受）it．
    49．Why did the writer mention the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf？D
    A．Because he was proud of his story．
    B．Because he felt he was luckier than that boy．
    C．Because he thought it was his mom's fault
    D．Because he had a lesson like that．
    50．From the passage we can infer（推断）thatB．
    A．the writer's mom didn't care much about him

    5．Your parents may have named you Tracy，Kyle，James or Keesha．But many of your friends （56）call you by another name---a nickname（绰号）---something like Red，Little Lazy Cat or Big Guy．
    Your real name was given to you when you were just a newborn （57）baby，before you developed your personality（性格），talents（才华） and looks．Because of this，your name actually is more loved by your（58）parents than you．They may have named you after a relative，or a famous person，or even because they just （59）like/love the sound of the name．
    But your nickname，the one your （60）friends call you，probably comes from something （61）special about you．If you're tall，people might call you Stilts（高跷）．If you are （62）clever，you may be called Brainiac（才智非凡的人） or Einstein．If you're （63）good at basketball，you might get the name King of Basketball．
    Nicknames like these，are a way of giving （64）meaning to a name and letting a name describe the person．The name Bill doesn't really tell you anything about a person，（65）but if Bill is known as Flash，you can guess that he may be a fast runner．

    2．
    If you like unusual places，you should visit the Hebrides Islands．Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland．The land is not good for farming．It's only good for keeping sheep．The winters are long，cold，and wet．It's hard to make a living on the Hebrides，but for a visitor，these islands can be very special．
    They're not for everyone，however．Even summer days are cool and often windy．The water is too cold for swimming．There are no forests，and there are only a few trees and green fields．Instead of fields，there are just rocks and small plants．The hills，too，are just piles of rocks．Sometimes the view looks like pictures of the moon．
    But there is beauty in this place．From the beach you can often see all the way to the rocky hills．From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean．The colors，too，are special．Blue is everywhere．It's in the sky and in the ocean．It is in the tiny flowers that grow on the hills．In the spring there is also green in the hills．In the summer and fall the hills are more purple．Often the air is soft and gray with clouds and rain．
    On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world．The evenings are quiet．The restaurants close early，and there isn't any nightlife．Visitors stay at a guest house or a Bed and Breakfast．This is the best way to learn about life on the islands．The islanders are often friendly，and they like to talk．
    If you want to meet islanders，you can also try the pubs（酒吧） or even the shops．People are in no hurry here．They like to chat about the weather or the fishing．There are also some tourist shops，but not many．They sell the usual tourist things．They also sell some beautiful clothes made of wool from the islands．
    Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping．Come to walk in the clean，cool air．Come for the quiet beauty and for the views．

    65．Are there many people living on the Hebrides Islands？No，there aren't
    66．What's the weather like on the Hebrides in the summer？It's cool and windy
    67．Where can you see other islands and the open ocean when you are on the Hebrides？From the hills
    68．Where do visitors stay for the night on the Hebrides？At a guest house or a Bed and Breakfast
    69．According to the passage，what can we do on the Hebrides？We can enjoy the quiet beautiful scenery，walk in the clean cool air，talk with the islanders and learn about life on the islands．．
