Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it. It is true. People usually begin their talks with“Isn’t it a nice day?”
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly(幾乎不) agree with each other. One man may say,“Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.”Another man will say,“No, it’s going to be fine tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for
something to tell him it’s going to rain; he won’t believe(相信)anything else. When friends have a travel, they are sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly.
Almost(幾乎)everyone listens to what the weatherman says, but he doesn’t always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes mistakes. Still(仍然), he probably(或許)comes closer to being right than anyone else.
小題1:“No one does anything about the weather”means ______.
A．No one can make weatherB．No one can change(改變)weather
C．Asking each other’s nameD．Talking what they eat
小題2:______is a common(普通)way to begin a talk.
A．Talking about weatherB．Keeping silent(沉默)
C．Asking each other’s nameD．Talking what they eat

小題4:Weatherman is a man who ______.
A．reports weatherB．can see weather
C．can change weatherD．can make weather
小題5:“Weatherman”______makes mistakes.
A．oftenB．neverC．sometimesD．little

小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:A

As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight. So I do know something about exercise. Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try.
Salsa (薩爾薩舞)
I try to maintain my weight through dancing. Dancing improves my coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories. I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive(有表現(xiàn)力的). But I have not yet to start classes, because classes are very expensive, and I cannot find a dance partner.
Ping-Pong
Ping-pong is the national sport of China, so how could I know nothing about it?
My father is a ping-pong fan, and a really good player. He's won several informal (非正式的) matches. My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off. I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest. The reason is because I can’t find a good partner. Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring.
Tae Kwon Do （跆拳道）
I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity. There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book. Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman’s crying. I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped(拍打) her face. No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong. Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent.
That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself.
小題1:We can guess that the girl is _____ according to the passage.
A．too thinB．a(chǎn) little fatC．carefulD．brave
小題2:Why doesn’t the girl want to go to learn salsa?
A．The dance is too difficult to learn.
B．Nobody wants to dance with her.
C．She has no time to join the classes.
D．She finds it sexy and expressive.
小題3:She is interested in ping-pong because ________.
A．she can play it well
B．it is the national sport
C．her father plays it well
D．she finds a good partner
小題4:She has made up her mind to learn Tae Kwon Do mainly because______.
A．she wants to lose weight
B．she wants to protect others and herself
C．she wants to win some matches
D．she wants to beat a strong man
小題5:We can learn from the passage that________.
A．the girl has learnt salsa for a long time
B．the girl has played ping-pong many times
C．the girl was brave enough to beat the man
D．she has learnt tae kwon do well

Mike found a job in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn’t do anything but wanted to get rich.
It was a cold morning. It snowed and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street.
“It is full of expensive things.” Mike said to himself. “I have to get it right now, or others will take it away.”

  Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying ,‘Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friend and keep it?
A Chinese writer Bai  Xun tells young students some smart ways to find friends. She says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.  
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks .A good friend should be kind and patient .For example , if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can not be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should they do when you have a fight with your friend ? You have to talk to him or her .When there is no one around , have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrongly, and explain why you did this or that . Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
