阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

　　Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air．You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air．You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball．If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳)back．

　　But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass．If you drop one of these, they will be broken．They will never be the same．You must understand that and try to have balance in your life．How?

　　Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others．It is because we are different and each of us is special．

　　Don't let other people set goals for you．Only you know what is best for yourself．

　　Don't give up when you still have something to give．Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying．

　　Don't be afraid of difficulties．It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave．

　　Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible．The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings．

　　Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going．

　　Don't be afraid to learn．Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily．

　　Don't use time or words carelessly．You can't get them back．Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why we call it “the present” Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step．

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

　　Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job．Every day trucks come into a city to collect it．Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use．If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish．

　　In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站)．Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole．The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system．The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆)and other places．

　　To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish．Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land．Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump．

　　In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places．The fire burns everything but the metal．Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal．The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth．It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow．

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

　　Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere．

　　He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm．During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆)along the side of the farm．He could see a house with golden windows．“If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house．” He imagined how great it would be to live there．Then he promised himself, “Some day 1 will go there and see this wonderful place．”

　　One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest．Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows．

　　As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was．The house was much farther than he had expected．As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting．A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence．He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows．The girl said, “Sure, I know．” and invited him to sit on the porch(门廊)．As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came．There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows．

　　Scientists(科学家)think that many animals cannot see colours．The world is black and white to them．Scientists want to find out if(是否)dogs can see colours．When the scientists give the dogs food, they show them a certain colour every time．The dogs get ready to eat when they see this colour．The scientists then show the dogs another colour．Again the dogs get ready to eat．The colours are all the same to them．

　　Colours are not all the same to monkeys．For example, if we put food in a red box, and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box to get food．If we put food in a blue box, the monkey won't go to it．

　　In England, people don't usually talk very much．You can go on a bus, or in a train, and everyone sits looking out of the window．Often they read．They read books and papers．But they don't talk much．

　　When you meet English people, they often talk about one thing-the weather(天气)．So when you meet someone in England, you can say, “Nice weather for the time of year! ”

　　“But it was a little cold yesterday, ” someone may answer．

　　“But it was warm later, ”you can answer．

　　If you talk like this, the English will think, “ How friendly you are!”

阅读下面的三篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

　　You may know the English letters A, B and C．But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas．But do you know there is such a thing a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me．

　　ABC means American-born Chinese．An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States．Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”．A banana is yellow outside and white inside．So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese．

　　Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language．Some of them don't speak Chinese．Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics．

　　But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course．They are Chinese．They are overseas Chinese．These people may be citizens(公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore．But they have Chinese blood．Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China．They all have black eyes and black hair．But they are not Chinese citizens．They are not people of the People's Republic of China．For example, we all know the famous scientist, C．N．Yang(杨振宁)．He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957．Chinese people love him．But he is an American citizen．
