题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different.  But what are the differences?

Hu Peng and his four friends decided to find them out.  Earlier this month, they went to live for a week at Huagui Village near Xishui.  They went door to door there and asked kids there lots of questions.  They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked questions like these: Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief comes into your houses? They also asked 150 city kids the same question.

On April 12, the team gave a report to their class.  They told about lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages.  The biggest difference is independence.  Hu’s team say that more than 60 percent of city kids can’t do much housework, but more than 80 percent of village kids can care for themselves.

City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time to wash clothes or make their beds.  Village kids said they helped their parents with a lot: they cook, clean houses and feed farm animals, Hu’s team also saw that village kids had less pocket money.  Many never use computers.  They play in rivers or on mountains.  Some don’t really like to make new friends.

Hu’s team said their trip gave them more self-confidence(自信心) because they were doing something by them-selves.  But it also worried them a bit because they saw they still had a lot to learn.  “When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us,” Hu said.  “We have to learn to take care of ourselves. ”

A dog's life

My name is Lucky. I am two years old. I am a 30-kg yellow dog. I am very friendly but some people are afraid of me. They think I am too big. My owner is my best friend. He takes me for a walk three times a day. He takes me to the park at the weekend and he takes me to the beach in summer. He does not like rainy days because I will get very wet and he will have to give me a shower. I like taking showers because I like chasing the towel when he dries me after a shower. I never fight or bite but I bark when someone touches my food. I can play many tricks but only when people give me biscuits.

A cat's life

My name is Dolly. I live next to Lucky. I am three years old. I am a 4-kg white cat. I love jumping onto the sofa or the window-ledge. I love watching people from my windows. I can see Lucky in the streets every day. I do not like going out because it is very dirty outside. I miaow when my bowl is empty. If you cannot find me, look into the cupboard or a cardboard box. I like sleeping in them.

A goldfish's life

My name is Yellow Tail. I live in a tank with five friends. I do not do much. I only swim, eat and sleep. My owners do not play with me. They only watch me. I like swimming in front of them.

  Before that time, one calendar (日历) was used throughout Europe. Under this calendar, people celebrated (庆祝) April 1st as the beginning of a new year. In 1564, King Charles Ⅸ of France declared (宣布) that each new year was to begin on January 1st according to a new calendar. Most people accepted it, but there were some people who didn't like the idea of the change and refused to accept the New Year's Day on January 1st. Soon people played jokes and tricks on them and called them “April Fools” (四月愚人) because they continued to regard April 1st as their New Year's Day. From then on, April Fools' Day came into being.
