We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we tell it to others soon. But can you imagine that a tree can talk and share news too ? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. Strange as it may sound, though, some trees do manage to communicate with each other.
Willow (柳樹) trees are the best-known of these trees. When insects begin nibbling (叮咬) a willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical (化學(xué)物質(zhì)) in their leaves. This chemical is bad to the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees protect themselves from the insects.
The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees give messages to each other, too.
小題1:Willow trees send messages with_____________.
A．wordsB．movementsC．smellsD．sounds
小題2:The underlined word “l(fā)ips” in the first paragraph means _____________.
A．樹干B．嘴唇C．枝條D．手勢
小題3:The passage tells us that some of the trees can _____________.
A．speak just as people doB．tell stories to others
C．communicate with each otherD．kill insects in the woods

It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines.About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day.In 2003，APOPO，a Duch research company that trains the animals,came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.

After nine months’ training,the rats were taken to 4 minefield. They ran across the minefield ,stopped, sat and searched the ground to tell the deminers that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared.It had taken two deminers a day to clear a 200 m2 minefield. But with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.
The rats and the deminers saved thousands of lives.“The rats did this job much better than we expected.So far they have helpde to make almost 2.000.000 m2 of land safe.They are heroes.”said Bart Woetjcds.the head of the APOPO.

Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well.  Most of us are right-handed.  Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed.  New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands.  Scientists don’t know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand.  There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones.  Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands.  But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people.  We live in a right-handed world. 
小題1:How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?
A. 5%.     B. 50%.     C. 95%.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向…挑戰(zhàn))yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn))door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小題1:Those who have big houses may often feel         .
A．happyB．lonelyC．freeD．excited
小題2:When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will     .
A．laugh at youB．play jokes on you
C．quarrel with youD．help you up
小題3:What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A．Oh, so do IB．Congratulations
C．Good luckD．It’s just so-so
小題4: Which idea is NOT right according to the passage?
A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money
D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you
小題5: Which of the following is this passage about?
