Read“My Problem” and answer questions 1 to 5.
My ProblemHi, my name is Effie!
I woke up on Monday morning at 7 o'clock. It took me 10 minutes to get dressed, 15 minutes to eat my break fast, 1 minute to brush my teeth and 9 minutes to walk to the bus stop. I had a feeling it was going to be a good day. At school, Mrs Finchley helped us make a graph of the birthdays of everyone in the class.
After that, we had to make a list of all the children in the class who were born in September.
The whole morning was going well until just bef ore lunch time. Mrs Finchley told us that it was Rebecca's birthday and her mum had made 24 cupcakes for the class. But there were 25 kids in my class!
Oh no! Who was going to work out how to share the cakes?
Suddenly, my head was filled with numbers whizzing around. Then, Casey raised his hand and said, “I don't like cupcakes.”

Reading Comprehension
People are wiser and can do more things than other animals because of their wonderful brains. We can talk, read, write, build houses, and invent things. Your brain has three main parts：the front brain, the hind brain, and the middle brain.
The front brain is the largest. It is gray outside and white inside. This is the part of the brain where you remember, think, and plan. With this part of your brain you make your arms and legs do what you want them to do. Here is where the messages from the eyes, ears, and nose let you see, hear, and smell. The hind brain is smaller than the front brain and is more like that of other animals. This part of the brain gives you balance and control of your muscles. You walk without tripping and skip without falling because the hind brain is doing its job. If it were not, you would lose your balance and fall over.
The middle brain is the smallest of all, but very important. It controls the beating of your heart, swallowing food, breathing, and other things you do without thinking. The middle brain is a small swelling where the brain joins the spinal cord－a large bundle of nerves in your backbone. The spinal cord is the main road to and from the brain. It comes into the middle brain bringing messages from all parts of your body. It also takes charge when some part of your body is in danger. If you touch a hot iron, the message to the spinal cord makes you pull your finger away even before you feel the pain of the burn. This is called a reflex. Nerves conned most parts of your body to the spinal cord.
1．What is the main idea of the passage?
[ ]
A．How brains make people intelligent.
B．How your brain is connected with most parts of your body.
C．How the spinal cord in your body works.
D．How each part of your brain functions.
2．Which part takes charge when one is designing his research project?
[ ]
3．The spinal card leads to your
[ ]
4．What does the underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
[ ]
5．If you cut your finger, how can your brain know it?
[ ]
A．Your heart feels it and lets your brain know.
B．When you see the blood, your eyes will send the message to your brain.
C．Your backbone collects the message and sends it to the brain.
D．Your spinal cord collects the massage and sends it to the brain.

Read “The Curious Kiwi” and answer questions 1 to 6.
The Curious KiwiINTRODUCTION
The Kiwi lives only in New Zealand. It looks a bit like a long-beaked chicken, but it has no tail and it cannot fly.
Its tiny wings are completely hidden among the hair-like feathers. Kiwis are shy birds that live mainly in fern-filled forests. They sleep in burrows by day and come out to feed at night. They eat worms and insects that live in the soil or among dead leaves. They also enjoy fallen fruit.
Survival Watch
Kiwis are becoming rare, largely because so many have been killed by the cats, dogs and other animals that people have taken to New Zealand.
Kiwi Facts
The kiwi is up to 45 cm long, including its beak. It gets its name from its call of ki-wee.
The female weighs only 4 kg, but she can lay two eggs weighing about 500 grams each.
That's nearly ten times as heavy as a chicken's egg.
The kiwi is a very strange-looking bird. Its dark coat looks more like shaggy hair than feathers.
The nostrils at the tip of the beak can smell worms and other food several centimetres below the ground.
1．What do kiwis eat?
[ ]
A．worms and insects
B．ferns and fallen fruit

Mr. Clarke lives at the foot of the mountain. He keeps the forest for a rich farmer there. The only road to the forest is just in front of his house.
