I really like reading and writing short stories. My favourite collection of short stories is a book called The Story Giant by Britain Patten , in which a giant , alone in a crumbling (将倒塌的) castle , knows all the stories in the world except one. He gets four children from different parts of the world to tell him stories in the hope that he will find the last story so he can stay alive. Do you think he finds the last story ?
I also like reading novels. One of my favourite novels is called Life of Pi . It is written by a Canadian called Yann Martel and is about an Indian boy who spends a long time at sea after a shipwreck (海难) alone with nobody but a tiger .
Not many people read plays these days but many people still enjoy watching them at the theatre or on television. As for me , I read scripts much more often than I go to see live theatre. I like plays which are either about great people and great events or about something from everyday life which is funny .
Perhaps the least popular form of literature is poetry. This is because many poems are very difficult to understand and often seem to be written by very clever people to be read by very clever people too. In my native England though there is a poet called Roger McGough who writes very funny and interesting poems which anybody can understand. Most of them are about everyday events and ordinary people. I wish I could write poems like him.
1. In writing this passage , the author probably intends to ___ .

I have been surprised each time my child has come home from school with a message saying his teacher wanted to see me.
I know my son seems very naughty: he cannot concentrate(聚精会神)on reading, he makes silly mistakes in his homework or often fails his exams.
Whenever such things happen, his teacher shouts,“Ask your parents to come here.”And then I have to go with my tail between my legs to find out what’s going on with my son and to listen to the teacher scold(责备)him.
I really feel sorry for my son’s mistakes and usually feel personally responsible(负责任).
But I cannot help feeling angry with him after a meeting with the teacher.
Gradually, I have realized that anger will do him no good, and that actually he needs my help.
On the one hand, I am greatly thankful to his teachers for their hard work and sense of responsibility.

阅读简答
I had always planned to take a tour of Yosemite, and I finally fulfilled my dream last December．I cannot help but express how much I enjoyed my tour of Yosemite．
As the best-known scenic spot, Yosemite National Park is actually a natural wonder．The park is located in the middle of the Nevada mountain range．It has huge rocks, great waterfalls and fantastic valleys．
I really need to thank my tour guide, Tony．He was very helpful and he told me a lot of interesting facts about the scenic spots we saw．As I couldn't drive, the tour guide was also my driver．He picked me up at 8 o'clock in the morning．He was a professional and experienced tour guide, so he tried everything to make sure that I had an interesting and relaxing tour．As he was driving, he kept on telling me about the wildlife and the unique scenery in this surprising land．
Bridalveil Fall was our first stop．The best time to see it is in summer, but I didn't go there in the hot season, so the waterfall was not as good as it could have been．I still took a photo of myself standing in front of this terrific waterfall before leaving for my next stop．When I first saw El Capitan, the largest standing sandstone structure in the world, I knew why it was called “El Capitan”．The huge structure dwarfed(使矮小)everything around it．Though I was used to seeing skyscrapers, nothing had prepared me for this．
I felt so happy and excited after I came back from Yosemite．I haven't had this feeling for a very long time．Happiness usually comes when we do activities that accomplish something, which is a deep feeling of joy that often lasts a long time．So I decided to go out for a trip constantly to make myself happy and relaxed．
1．What is Yosemite National Park famous for?(No more than 7 words)
2．Why did the author think Tony was a professional and experienced guide?(No more than 11 words)
3．Why was the author shocked when he first saw El Capitan?(No more than 7 words)
4．According to the passage, what made the author so excited?(No more than 7 words)

Ban the Band（乐队）?
Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 36 , instead of the usual school uniform.
Most of us think the dance is great 37 －even the teachers enjoy being there. 38 , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 39 band this year only CDs.
“I don’t 40 it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t 41 a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,” added Daniel.
“Well, I don’t think it’s 42 enough without a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her 43 . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 44 some more thought. And he suggested that one 45 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to 46 out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,” she 47 to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their 48 about the band and the extra cost.”
49 the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much 50 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the 51 . “I really thought that only a few people 52 their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next 53 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”
Angela was all smiles and 54 the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re 55 ,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.
