    It was a village in India.The people were poor.However，they were not unhappy.After all，their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
    Then one day，some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs.However，they did not have enough frogs of their own，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
    This seemed like money for nothing.There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers.All they had to do was catch them.Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs.Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money.For the first time，the people were able to dream of a better future.But the dream didn’t last long.
    The change was hardly noticed at first，but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well.More worrying was that the children fell ill more often，and，there seemed to be more insects around lately.
    The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak.They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines.Soon there was no money left.
    Then the people realized what was happening.It was the frog.They hadn’t been useless.They had been doing an important job—eating insects.Now with so many frogs killed，the insects were increasing more rapidly.They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
    Now，the people are still poor.But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs.These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

    小题4:C

    小题1: C
    解析　细节理解题。由第一段中“The people were poor.However，they were not unhappy.”可知，他们虽清贫但还算幸福。A项原文未提及；B项是后文所述之事；D项与第一段中的信息恰恰相反。
    小题2:A

    In Asia，there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(结构)，they are widely different in size and shape.Kite­fighting competitions are also held，in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手) kites or cut their strings(线)．
    For more than 15 years，the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite­making and kite­flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite­making lessons，students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes！Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙)．Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.
    The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two­string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.
    Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun.Go on，give it a try！

    Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.
    The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.
    Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(耸肩) and turn a blind eye.
    Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.   
    Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.
    Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.
    I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.
    小题1:According to the author, true friendship _______.
    A．is easy to getB．deepens with time
    C．needs managementD．affects one’s happiness
    小题2:Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.
    A．why drugs are bad for teenagers
    B．problems that will test friendship
    C．ways that help avoid arguments
    D．whether a friend is trustworthy
    小题3:According to the author, which matters least in friendship?
    A．Age.B．Sensitivity.
    C．Sense of humor.D．Communication ability.
    小题4:Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?
    A．Old friends and old wines are best.
    B．A friend without faults will never be found.
    C．A life without a friend is a life without the sun.
    D．a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

    There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar（衣领） workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土话)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(车道), and explore new ways of living “green”.
    Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan(about US $700).
    The life of a green collar may go something like this: Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged.
    Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.
    “They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
    B．The increasing awareness(意识) of environmental protection.
    C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.
    D．The lifestyle of green collars.
    小题2:Green collars are living green because _________.
    A．they have a large income to use
    B．they refuse to live an unhealthy life
    C．they spend a lot of money and time in the open air
    D．they devote themselves to environmental protection
    小题3:What’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
    A．Appreciative.B．Doubtful.C．Negative(否定的).D．Neutral(中立的).
    小题4:The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_________.
    A．in heavy polluted areas B．in faraway places
    C．in a poor state of education D．in unfavourable(不利的) conditions

    Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
    Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
    The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
    小题1:What were the demonstrators protesting about?
    [A] Private profits.
    [B]Nuclear Power Station.
    [C] The project of nuclear power construction.
    [D] Public peril.
    小题2:Who had gas-masks?
    [A] Everybody.
    [B]A part of the protestors.
    [C] Policemen.
    [D] Both B and C.
    小题3:.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?
    [A] Public transportation.
    [B]Public peril.
    [C] Pollution.
    [D] Disposal of wastes.
    小题4:.With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?
    [A] With prisoners.
    [B]With arrested demonstrators.
    [C] With criminals.
    [D] With protestors.
    小题5:What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?
    [A] stubborn.
    [B]insistent.
    [C] insolvable.
    [D] remissible.
