“Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.
“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (故意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?
If I admitted (承認(rèn)) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father is going to get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise (舉起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
“I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike (打) a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds (鳥類野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (懲罰). But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.
小題1:How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves?
A．Relaxed.B．Pleased.C．Frightened.D．Guilty.
小題2:What do the underlined words “check out” mean?
A．lend B．borrowC．testD．buy
小題3:What can we learn from the story?
A．The writer’s teacher often hit her students.
B．The writer broke the window when he was catching a bird.
C．The writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake.
D．The writer didn’t want to admit his mistake at the beginning.
小題4:The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______.
A．he who is honest is wiseB．better late than never
C．practice makes perfectD．a(chǎn) friend in need is a friend indeed

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:A

試題分析：這篇短文中的作者失手打碎了教室的玻璃，一開始不想承認(rèn)。最后承認(rèn)了錯(cuò)誤，不但沒有收到懲罰，反而因此受到了老師的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。從而告訴我們誠(chéng)實(shí)人才是聰明人。

Of course, today everybody uses mobile phones and computers. Some teens can’t live without these high-tech (高科技的) things.
Justin Beck, a 15-year-old boy, feels like this: “I would not be able to live without my iPod. I use it for so many different things. I always have it with me,” he said.

Indian boy Piscine Patel is troubled by his first name. It sounds like a rude word, and his classmates laughed at him. He decides to change his name to “Pi”.
But Pi’s name problems are nothing compared to what is waiting for him.
Pi’s father owns a zoo. He decides to move to Canada. The family, together with all the zoo animals, set sail across the Pacific. One day, a huge storm hits the ship. The next morning, Pi finds his family has sunk with the ship. He is the only person still alive.

The boy and the tiger develop an amazing relationship on the sea. Although he feels hopeless, Pi never gives up. After 227 days, the lifeboat finally lands on a beach in Mexico, but Richard Parker runs away into the forest.

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists (靈學(xué)家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a“sixth sense”really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared(盯著）at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受試者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker,“I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
小題1:The aim of the two experiments is to ________.
A．explain when people can have a sixth sense
B．study how people act while being watched in the lab
C．study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
D．prove why humans have a sixth sense
小題2:The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A．valueB．resultC．performanceD．connection
小題3:In the second experiment, the subjects _________.
A．could tell when they were stared at
B．could tell where they weren’t stared at
C．couldn’t tell who they were stared at or who they stared at
D．couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t
小題4:What can be learned from the passage?
A．People are born with a sixth sense.
B．The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
C．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D．People have a sixth sense in all places.

An old man lived in a nice house with a large garden. He took care of his flowers all the time, watering and fertilizing them.
One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imagining how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place. Then ,suddenly he found the old gardener was blind. He was very surprised about this and asked,“You can’t see these flowers. “Why are you busy taking care of them every day?”
The old man smiled and said ,“I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s you.”
“Me? But you don’t know me.”said the young man.
“Yeah, it’s true that I don’t know you. But I know that flowers are angels that everybody knows. We enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.”
The blind man’s work opened our eyes and pleased our hearts, which also made his life happier. It was just like Beethoven, who became deaf in his later life and wrote many great musical works.
