Giving a gift can mean a lot. It can be a way to deepen (加深) a friendship. Before you get a gift for someone, spend time really thinking about what makes him or her special. Think about their interests, hobbies, needs and happiest moments. For example, friends and families with children might love a special calendar that contains everyone’s birthday and other special dates and events.
For music fans, a CD filled (填充) with their favourite music always makes a special gift.
Spending time with loved ones is also a way to give them a gift. You might take that special person out for a birthday dinner at your favourite restaurant.

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.

In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.

A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.

Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!

If you look at the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(圖案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.

For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.

1.There is ____ special on this wall.

A．something

B．a(chǎn)nything

C．nothing

D．everything

2.What was the “VICTORY” written in?

A．Chalk

B．Pencil

C．Pen

D．Brush

3.When has the poem been written?

A．At the beginning of the last semester.

B．At the end of the year.

C．At the end of the last semester.

D．At the beginning of the last month.

4.What’s the meaning of the underlined word?

A．部分

B．分離

C．和好

D．聚集

5.What’s the title of the passage?

A．The Pictures of the Wall

B．The Feelings of the Students

My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He's had it for years. As he is very careful with it, so it still looks as good as new.   1   He shook his head. "Then how did you get it?" I asked. "Well," he answered, "there' s a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella.   2   And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop.   3   What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing.   4   As I hoped he would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark doorway where I had been standing.   5    As I suddenly appeared before him, the young man was so shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it ever since."

A. Gradually, it grew quite dark.

B. He held a large umbrella over his head.

C. I asked him where he was going with that umbrella.

D. No buses ran through the street and there were no taxis.

E. I asked my uncle if he bought it or some one sent him as a gift.
