A boy was one day sitting on the steps of a door. He had a broom in one hand, and in the other a large piece of bread and butter, which somebody had kindly given him. While he was eating it, and happily singing a song, he saw a poor little dog quietly sleeping not far from him. He called out to him, "Come here, poor fellow!"

The dog, hearing himself kindly spoken to, rose, pricked up his ears, and wagged his tail. Seeing the boy eating, he came near him. The boy held out to him a piece of bread and butter. As the dog stretched out (伸出) his head to take it, the boy quickly drew back his hand and hit him a hard rap on the nose. The poor dog ran away, howling (嚎叫) dreadfully, while the boy sat laughing at what he had done.

A gentleman, who was looking from a window on the other side of the street, saw what the boy had done. Opening the street door, he called him to cross over. At the same time, he held up a sixpence between his finger and thumb.

"Would you like this?"

"Yes, if you please, sir, "said the boy, smiling, and he quickly ran over to seize the money.

Just at the moment that he stretched out his hand, he got so hard a rap on his hand, from a stick which the gentleman had behind him, that he roared (咆哮) out like a bull!

"What did you do that for?" said the boy, making a very long face, and rubbing his hand. "I didn't hurt you, nor ask you for a sixpence."

"What did you hurt that poor dog for just now?" said the gentleman. "He didn't hurt you, nor ask you for your bread and butter. As you served him I have served you. Now, remember: 33 .

A.Curious and amazed. B.Surprised and angry.

C.Nervous and stressed. D.Relaxed and happy.

2.Why did the gentleman pretend (假装) to offer the boy a sixpence?

A.Because he wanted to help the poor boy.

B.Because he wanted to protect the poor dog.

C.Because he wanted to teach the boy a lesson.

D.Because he wanted to let the boy make friends with the dog.

3.What did the gentleman most probably say at the end of the story?

A.Like me, like my dog.

There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.

There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person

who can solve my riddle, " the king said. Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest

horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard "Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it,” the king challenged.

People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their

noses to the ground and scratched their heads.

How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土)over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.

A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉).

Your Majesty, "the baker said to the king, I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it. "Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.

Now, good king, "the baker smiled, "your line is shorter.

The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.

The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

She was three, just came back from a hospital after brain surgery (脑部手 术) with no hair. I was happy to see her back. My little “Mr. Clean” and I went to the shopping mall.

“Daddy, can I get a gift?” “OK, but just one,” I said. I asked her what she wanted. Without thinking twice, she said “An ice-cream comb(梳子) from the ice-cream store.”

At the end of the road, she found something new-a big fountain(喷泉).“Daddy, can I make a wish?” she jumped with joy. “Sure honey, but that will be your gift you know,” I told her. She agreed.

I put a coin in her hand. She closed her eyes and made her wish. “Can you tell Daddy what you wished for?” She answered, “I wished I could get an ice- cream comb.” Finally, she got her wish, and two gifts.

I knew that my beautiful girl would soon be on a long road of surgeries, special schools, endless treatments and end up paralyzed(麻痹) on her right side.

Today, she is almost seventeen. She can't use her right hand and walks with a limp(跛行). But each year she shows improvement. She is planning a job in early childhood education. With one year before finishing high school, she and I planned all the subjects she would need to take in college. It was her idea. You see that “giving up” was never a choice to her.

You want to run across the street to catch the bus which is leaving soon? But wait! You’ d better not. If a policeman sees you, you’ll have to pay a fine (罚款). New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.

Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians must work together to make the streets safer. The law has new rules for drivers. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks (人行横道). If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.

______ If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.

Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fence s along streets.

Do you bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike way when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.

Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet(头盔), ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.

Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.

If you see a hit-and-run (肇事逃逸), tell the police. They may give you thanks. And don’t be afraid to help to send people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.

I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge(边缘) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya(肯尼亚). Since the age of nine. I have helped to look after my family's cows. As a child, in my free time. I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices(仪器) for my neighbors.

At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution

The first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that that didn't really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed (牛棚). So I didn't give up. I continued.

And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow(稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions into thinking that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animals.
