“Haibao，the mascot(吉祥物)of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo，is very cute，”said Gu Hui，a school kid．“I want a big toy like the mascot．”
Haibao looks like the Chinese word ren，which means people or a person．The name，a typical lucky one in Chinese tradition comes from the Chinese phrase “Si Hai Zhi Bao” —the treasure of the four seas．It also means the treasure of Shanghai，which lies beside the sea．
Haibao’s blue curly(卷曲的)hair looks like the waves of the sea．Its smile is a sign of the healthy spirit of China．Those thumbs-up(翹拇指)will welcome millions of people to Shanghai from around the world．Its big feet show China has the ability to host a successful Expo．
Haibao was created by two artists，one from the mainland(大陸) and the other from Taiwan．The design is about people living together in the city．The designers want it to fit the theme of the Shanghai Expo，that is，a good life should be created by all the people and people should have harmonious relationships(和諧關系) with nature and society，so that life in cities would be better．
Surely the mascot will become the lucky symbol and cultural remark of Shanghai Expo．
小題1: Which is the mascot of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo?

小題2:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．School children like Haibao．
B．The name Haibao shows Chinese traditional culture．

小題3:What is the theme of the Shanghai World Expo?
A．One World, One Dream.B．One China, One Family.
C．Better City, Better Life.D．Shanghai, An Open City.

小題1:B
小題1:D
小題1:C

小題1:haibao只是一個吉祥物，是通過人的想象構造出來的，故選D，haibao是一種生活在上海附近海洋的動物。
小題1:根據(jù)The designers want it t…… would be better．這段話可知選項C，最符合題意。越來越好的城市，越來越好的生活。

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打擾) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
Answer the following questions according to the passage.
小題1:Is “Survival Holidays” for children or parents?
小題2:Why do people like “Survival Holidays”?
小題3:What do the children in big cities usually do?
小題4:How do children feel when they are in danger?
小題5:What can children learn in the survival activities？

My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do?
Helen
My best friend has suddenly turned her back on me and I don’t know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and e-mailed too, and over the weekend we went shopping together and she was fine. But at school on Monday morning she didn’t look at me or speak to me. I don’t know what I’ve done. She now spends all her time with another group of friends.
Jane
I have a really bad habit of chewing（嚼）the ends of my hair. I try to stop, but I can’t! My mom is starting to get really angry about it. Have you got any ideas?
Gina
 
Advice
Hi _________,
Why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house—it’s only fair. I don’t think you should change your looks though. Young people should look like young people.
②Hi_________,
Wearing your hair pulled back in a ponytail（馬尾辮）will help keep it out of your mouth. When you feel like chewing something, try bubble gum（泡泡糖）. Give yourself time and you should be able to break this habit. The first few days are usually the hardest. Good luck!
