    Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

    During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

    He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

    Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

    My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.

    Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

    That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish.

    1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?

    A. Join his family. B. Go shopping.

    C. Find a house. D. Take his family.

    2.The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from _______.

    A. a friend of his family

    B. a Sydney policeman

    C. a stranger in Sydney

    D. a letter in his papers

    3.What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?

    A. showed. B. sent out.

    C. gave back. D. delivered.

    4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A. Turning Trash to Treasure.

    B. Living in a New Country.

    C. From India to Australia.

    D. In Search of New Friends.

    More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.

    “Look, we get three eggs this time.”

    Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.

    “We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop（鸡笼；鸡舍） and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst.

    Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks.

    After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.

    Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.

    “We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.

    Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.

    Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.

    “I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(赞成养鸡). That is happening all around the United States,” he said, He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.

    1.According to the passage people raise chickens probably to __________.

    A. save the living cost

    B. reduce farmers’ burden

    C. solve the employment problems

    D. get safe and healthy food

    2.The Hurst family used to have trouble in ____________.

    A. building a website for raising chickens

    B. building the coops and buying the chickens

    C. finding some place to raise the chickens

    D. persuading the neighbours to accept their idea

    3.We can learn from the passage that __________.

    A. you can enjoy the Rent a Coop service after 18 months

    B. you can search online for any questions related to raising chickens

    C. you can pay for keeping the supplies and the chickens for ever

    D. you can pay 185 dollars a week for renting things to raise the chickens

    4.Tyler Phillips designed and made the coops ____________

    A. based on the environmentally friendly concept

    B. based on the government’s supporting policy

    C. to help advertise the organic and local food

    D. to meet his neighbors’ need of raising chickens

    I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in the play, that was my dream. As a shy and thin girl, I used to be quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class, I am often the first one to stand up and answer questions even if I may take some mistakes. No pains, no gains. Now I am always brave enough overcome the difficulty in my heart and have changed in a lively girl. So my experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can we make progresses.

    Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

    Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

    Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

    Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

    1.What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

    A. interesting B. ridiculous.

    C. boring. D. puzzling.

    2.Why was the author confused about the task?

    A. He was unfamiliar with American history.

    B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.

    C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.

    D. He was new at the school.

    3.The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.

    A. annoyed B. ashamed

    C. ready D. eager

    4.In the end, the author turned things around _______.

    A. by redoing his task

    B. through his own efforts

    C. with the help of his grandfather

    D. under the guidance of his headmaster
