Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘書) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.
小題1:The writer always refuses to give people directions because _____________.
A．she is a stranger to the cityB．she doesn’t know the people
C．she has no time to help othersD．she’s afraid of giving wrong direction
小題2: A man stopped the writer on the way to _____________.
A．sell her something B．a(chǎn)sk her the time
C．make friends with herD．a(chǎn)sk for the direction
小題3:The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ______________.
A．livesB．studiesC．worksD．teaches
小題4:The words “embarrassed” in the paragraph means “___________”.
A．尷尬B．困惑C．激動D．拮據(jù)
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer is too shy to give others directions.
B．The writer has a very poor sense of direction.
C．The writer never got lost when she was young.
D．The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.

小題1:D
小題2:D
小題3:C
小題4:A
小題5:B

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是因為作者自己方向感很差，所以當(dāng)有人向他問路時，他總是拒絕別人。有一次又有一個人向作者問路，作者像往常一樣拒絕了他。但是他隨后就意識到那個地方正是他工作的地方，可已經(jīng)來不及了。當(dāng)作者在辦公室里見到那個陌生人時，作者感到非常的尷尬。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文開頭Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them.可知，作者的方向感很差，所以他不敢給別人指示方向。故選D。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.可知，一次在回家的路上，一個陌生人向作者詢問怎樣去友誼大廈，即在向他問路。故選D。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building.可知，當(dāng)一個陌生人向作者問路的時候，作者像往常一樣拒絕回答，但是后來他突然想起來，友誼大廈就是作者的辦公樓，就是他工作的地方。故選C。
小題4:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的句子以及上文第四段中的內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)那個陌生人問路的時候，作者像往常一樣，沒有為他指路。但是后來在作者的辦公室里，作者又再次見到了那個陌生人，所以見面時，作者應(yīng)該是感到很尷尬。故選A。
小題5:推理判斷題。根據(jù)So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.可知，作者不給陌生人指路是因為他自己方向感差，害怕給別人指錯了方向，故A不對；根據(jù)I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. 可知C不對；短文中沒有提到那個陌生人見到作者時的感受，但是不應(yīng)該是nervous，緊張，故D不對；根據(jù)Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them可知B是正確的。故選B。

What is the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It’s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel (牙釉質(zhì)) in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria (細菌) away. However, teeth are vulnerable (易受傷害的) to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let’s pay attention to the health of our teeth.
Tooth     (1)   are    (1)   around the world. Most children and young adults have tooth decay (齲齒). A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample (抽樣) of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.
(2)Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids (酸) that eat away at tooth enamel.This cause holes in your teeth.
Another common problem is crooked teeth (齙牙). When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven’t fallen out, there isn’t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.
Don’t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy.
Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime.
Learn to use dental floss (牙線). The floss gets rid of food that’s hidden where your toothbrush can’t get it.
Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.
Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.
Wear braces (牙套) to make your teeth straight and beautiful.

It's important to develop the healthy habits in your daily life. The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.
Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn't have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.
Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you’ re not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you'd better rub both hands while washing them.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance. Wha’s more, it’s good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.
Stay connected. Having regular communication with friends is the key to reducing stress. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help improve memory. Having a friend or a circle of friends can help you feel good.

According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, we officially welcome the Year of the Horse better than others.
The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world. Horses were used for thousands of years as a means of transportation, a weapon of war and a plougher of fields(犁地農(nóng)具), but "the horse was more than just a vehicle - it had more character than a car, a tank or a tractor," Clare Balding wrote for The Telegraph.

In the Middle Ages in Western societies, the horse was a symbol of chivalry（騎士神）and nobility(貴族). In fact, the word "chivalry" comes from "cheval" in Old French, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to fashion the 19th-century "gentleman", which was about good manners, courage and honesty to friends.
Nowadays, because of economic(經(jīng)濟) development, people in Western societies are less likely to see or ride horses. People living in cities, in particular, hardly ever experience horses except through movies, paintings or books. But horse racing, and betting .money on horse races, is still popular. The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular sporting events every year in the US.
In the UK, the royal police still go around the city on horseback and the Queen rides in a traditional horse-drawn carriage on "ceremonial occasions (正式場合)”．
Some sayings about horses are still used in English today. For example, people still say "hold your horses" to mean “slow down". If someone seems too proud, people might tell him or her to "get off his or her high horse". And since horses are strong and energetic, there are expressions such as "as strong as a horse", "workhorse" and "horsing around".   .
Interestingly, the horse also appears in many Chinese sayings, such as Qianlima, which means a talented person. Other Chinese horse sayings include Madaochenggong (instant success) and Baimawangzi (prince charming).
Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have "excellent memories", according to Discovery News. Maybe that's why Chinese people say, "An old horse never gets lost".
Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to share them.
小題1:According to Chinese tradition, which year is welcomed best officially?
A．the Year of the SnakeB．the Year of the Tiger
C．the Year of the MouseD．the Year of the Horse
小題2:According to the passage, which is NOT the role of the horse nowadays?
A．A weapon of war.
B．The royal police's transportation to go around in the UK.
C．Race horses.
D．Animal actors in movies.
小題3:If a friend of yours is overconfident, what are you supposed to tell him or her?
A．Hold your horses.B．Get off your high horse.
C．Be as strong as a horseD．An old horse never gets lost
小題4:According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why people like horses?
A．The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world
B．The horse was a symbol of chivalry and nobility in the Middle Ages in Western societies.
C．Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have “excellent memories".
D．Horses are only used as a means of transportation like a car, a tank or a tractor.
小題5:From the passage we know that                     .
A．Economy develops a lot, so people in Western societies hardly see or ride horses nowadays.
B．The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular betting events every year in the US.
C．Qianlima in Chinese means a person who can run one thousand kilometers a day.
D．Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to be as strong as a horse.
