Dawson was an old grouch (脾气坏的人), which everyone in town knew. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious , even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Jane and her friend Amy were on the way to Amy’s house, but as they got close Jane saw Dawson sitting on his front porch (前廊) and they cross over to the other side of the street. She was of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.
Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. , Jane was growing more nervous with each step to the man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw Amy, a broad changed his entire face as he said, “Hello, Miss Amy. You’ve got a little friend with you today.”
Amy smiled back and told him Jane was staying overnight and that they were going to play games. Dawson said that sounded fun, and them each a fresh apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Dawson had the best apples in town.
When they got Dawson’s earshot (听力范围), Jane asked, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. he was so nice to us?”
Amy explained that at first he wasn’t friendly and she was afraid of him, but she he was wearing an invisible (看不见的) smile, so she always smiled at him. It took a while, but one day he -smiled back at her.
After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started to her. Just a “hello” at first, then more, and now always plus an apple.
“An invisible smile?” Jane.
“Yes. My grandma said if I pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back, sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says are contagious (传染的).”

Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree-he wants to save a whole rainforest!
In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.
Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.
Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.
Evan says everyone can help the planet-even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.
1.Evan started the group _______.
A. to help the poor B. to make himself well-known
C. to win the Barron prize D. to save the rainforest
2.How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?
A. About $4,500. B. About $850.
C. About $1,000. D. About $280.
3.What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.
A. actions speak louder than words
B. we can all do something to protect the earth
C. we should learn to recycle from now on
D. a good beginning makes a good ending
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Evan Green-a famous teenager
B. The Red Dragon Conservation Team
C. Boy gathers support for rainforests
D. Rainforests are being destroyed

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To encourage people to read and share.
C.To involve people in community service.
D.To promote the friendship between cities.
2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A.They had little interest in reading.
B.They were too busy to read a book.
C.They came from many different backgrounds
D.They lacked support from the local government
3.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A.In large communities with little sense of unity
B.In large cities where libraries are far from home
C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
4.According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by
A.the careful selection of a proper book
B.the growing popularity of the writers
C.the number of people who benefit from reading.
D.the number of books that each person reads.

People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license. The law went into effect on January l. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U.S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants." Others call them "undocumented immigrants".
Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.
The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.
Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young, white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
"It's simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did." Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States.
1.Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited?
A. Because he can request a driver's license.
B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California.
C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant.
D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.
2.What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'?
A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrants
B. They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.
C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.
D. With the words "Federal Limits Apply", immigrants can enjoy special rights.
3.What’s the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California?
A. supportive B. negative
C. neutral D. controversial
