Next Is a loved one missing some body parts? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimps（黑猩猩）differ in only 400 genes. And should that worry us ?Is it horrible for you thinking one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, or a person and his family may be hunted cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes…We live in a time of great scientific leaps! Next challenges our sense of reality, blending fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems.
	Life of Pi The son of a zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India. Planning a move to Canada, his family takes a ride on an enormous ship. After a shipwreck, Pi finds himself in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat with a wounded zebra，a hyena（鬣狗），a orangutan（猩猩），and a tiger named Richard Parker. It sounds like a colorful setup, but these wild animals don’t burst into song as in the Disney cartoons. All want to survive，however Pi finds himself the weakest one of all. After much infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat’s only passengers. Pi is left to survive for 227 days through waters with his large dangerous companion，using all his knowledge，wits and faith.
	Five People You Meet in Heaven When a lonely and elderly man dies in an  accident, he awakens in an unfamiliar place called Heaven where five people, some strangers, some loved ones，take him on a clear journey through his life . Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal（揭示），and a lesson to share. Through them Eddie learns “lessons”, finds out why certain events happened in his physical life, and understands the meaning of his own life. The book explores the unexpected mysteries of the afterlife by reminding us what really matters here on earth.
	Marley＆Me：life and love with the world’s Worst Dog John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They brought home Marley, a yellow fur-ball of a dog. Life would never be the same. Marley crashed through doors，and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around. However，just as he refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless，too He shared the couple’s joy and heartbreak. He was there whenever the couple needs help. Marley＆Me is so much more than the story of a lovable dog；it’s the story of a family. Toward the end of book，Grogan speaks of the life lessons-loyalty, courage, devotion，simplicity，joy-that Marley taught him.

　　No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are familiar to the mosquito, although you probably wish you weren't. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种). Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.

　　No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves. She? Yes, she. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, it's true. And it's not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce.

　　Do you know how the female mosquito decides whom to bite? She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物) carefully. First, she uses sensors(感觉器) to find her victim. These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角) and her three pairs of legs. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you are not attractive, she'll reject you for another one. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen. You are special.

　　If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your, flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her long nose tip. Long nose tip? What's that? It's a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito's eyes. It contains six sharp instruments called stylets. She thrusts all six stylets into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, she'll get a full dinner in about a minute. All this usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening.

　　Why does a mosquito bite itch(痒)? The itch is not really from the bite. It's from the saliva(口水) the mosquito mixes with your blood to keep it from being blocked as she sucks it up her long nose tip. By the time the itch begins, she has gone.

　　And then what happens? Well after her delicious dinner, the mosquito is tired. She just wants to find a place to rest. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot on a leaf, a wall or a stone to quietly lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.

1．The female mosquito looks for you because she ________.

[　　]

A．is thirsty for your blood

2．Only when ________ does she do biting.

[　　]

A．she locates these sensors on her two antennae

B．she finds the weather is fine

C．she finds body moisture, body warmth and chemical substances

D．she finds what she likes

3．Which order is right for the statements according to the process of a female mosquito's biting?

a．She uses her long nose tip to break your skin.

b．She thrusts her stylets into your skin.

c．With sensors, she tests your body.

d．She stops onto a part of your body gently.

e．She takes in a mouthful of blood out a pipe.

[　　]

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.  
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention. 
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.
【小题1】What is the text mainly about?  

A．The basic needs of children.

B．The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

C．The happy life of two families.

D．The experience of the only child being with mother.

【小题2】Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.  

A．happy

B．curious

C．regretful

D．friendly

【小题3】What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?  

A．Tom has less difficulty in speaking.	B．Sam holds her hand more often.
C．The boys become better followers.	D．The daughter acts like a leader.

【小题4】The author seems to believe that ___________.  

A．having brothers and sisters is fun

B．it’s tiring to look after three children

C．every child needs parents’ full attention

D．parents should watch others’ children.
