When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭). It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw(人力黃包車).He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads (裝載)all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload. No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.
From June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In some parts of the city, the roads flood (水淹), and anything with an engine(發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) is useless. But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.
But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government want to ban rickshaws. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problemwith this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw. If the city bans rickshaws, these men won't have a job. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.
小題1:What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A．The rickshaw drivers carry things for local people in Kolkata.
B．Parents need rickshaws for taking children to school in Kolkata.
C．Rickshaws can find a way through the bad traffic in Kolkata.

B．The rickshaw is still a part of public transport in Kolkata.
C．The local government offer many other jobs to the rickshaw driven.

One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now.

In America, when people say “man's best friend”, they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person (盲人) or “ears” for a deaf(耳聾) person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.
小題1: “Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” is used to tell us that        .[
A．pets have the right(權(quán)利) to inherit(繼承) money

Be careful! Some people may use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but misses important information that should be included, he can create a false impression(印象).
For example, someone might say, "I just won 100 dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that ticket back to the store and they gave me 100 dollars!"
This man is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he paid 200 dollars for 200 tickets, and only one ticket won. He's really a big loser.
He didn't say anything that was false, but he didn't give the other important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not lies, but in fact they are dishonest.
Advertisements sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to lie in advertisements, so they try to deceive with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine-tenths of doctors believe that Fancy Pills will be good to cancer. " It doesn't tell you that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Fancy Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小題1:What does the underlined word "deceive" mean in Chinese?
A．坦白　B．引人注意　C．獲勝　D．欺騙
小題2:When people tell part of the truth,          .
A．they are really lying
B．they are lottery losers
C．they may want you to buy something
D．they may not be honest
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The truth can be used by dishonest people.
B．All lies are hidden in the truth.
C．Nine-tenths of doctors work for Fancy Company.
D．Advertisements are full of lies.
小題4:What does the writer clearly want people to do?
A．Think carefully when they read or hear something.
B．Spend no money on lottery tickets.
C．Never trust anyone no matter what they say.
D．Always tell the truth.

A．Tell the Truth　　B．Everybody Lies

It is reported by Chinese Xinhua News that students waste more food than the national average. So the campaign on school food waste is getting popular across the country. The move is part of a national campaign started by students at different schools.
At East China University of Science, students who finish their food in the school dining hall get a special card when they return their plates after meals. Students can collect cards and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, schoolbags, magazines and umbrellas. “It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to eat up our food.”
“The purpose of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also teach students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang from University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Other schools also pay attention to the quantity of food. At Nanjing No.9 Middle School, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from according to their own need. “It’s great because I can try different dishes at half price and don’t waste so much food,” said Fan Peng, 15, a student from this middle school.
What if you really can’t finish all your food? At Changchun Normal College, they provide a take-away service. “If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the left food home. Even if you feed the cat, it’s not wasted,” said Zhou Zeyong, a student who learns Chinese education.
“I’m happy that we’ve cut down waste since joining the school ‘eat-up’ meeting. But some food is poorly cooked, meaning that students are not willing to finish it all. Some schools have taken note of this. So if we hope students try to waste less food, we should also improve the service and keep an eye on the meal quality on weekdays at school. If not, you can’t complain students for throwing away much food,” said Wang Guangji, the head-teacher of Beijing No. 29 Middle School.
小題1:Why did we start the campaign on food waste at schools?  Because __________.
A．food waste at school is very serious.
B．students should not eat more food
C．it is students’ duty to eat less food
D．it’s easy for schools to start a campaign
小題2:Who can get some gifts at East China University of Science?
A．Students who buy some special cards.
B．Students who eat up all the food.
C．Students who do some dishes.
D．Students who spend money on gifts.
小題3:What’s Tao Siliang’s idea in the passage?
A．Getting small gifts is surprising.
B．Different-sized bowls make students happy.
C．Students should take a healthy lifestyle.
D．It’s a good idea to feed a cat with left food.
小題4:Which of the followings is true according to the passage?
A．The campaign is only to encourage students to eat up food.
B．We try to think up many good ways to help clear plates.
C．We will make notes if students waste much food again.
D．We shouldn’t complain students for throwing away food
