Molly was a peasant girl. Her parents did not have much money and Molly did not have many nice clothes.
One day Molly’s father said to her, “Molly, take this pot of milk to market and sell it. You may keep the money.”
Molly was very happy. She put the pot of milk on her head and started her journey to market. While she was walking alone she began to think. “I will get quite a lot of money for this milk,” she thought. “What will I do with the money? I will buy a lot of eggs. I will take the eggs home with me. One of our hens will sit on them. Then there will be lots of little chickens. I will not sell the chickens. They will grow into hens. Then there will be more eggs. And these eggs will give me still more chickens. Soon I will have hundreds of hens. Then I will sell them all. They will bring me a lot of money. I will be rich. I will buy lots of new clothes. I will always wear nice clothes. Then a rich man will marry me. We will have a beautiful house, a big car and nice children...”

The united States has about 475,000 school buses — all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.
小題1:What does this passage mainly tell us?
A．High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.
B．New measures to transport school students.
C．The safest form of student transportation.
D．The origin of Walk to School Day.
小題2:In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.
A．changing some bus routes
B．stopping some bus routes
C．a(chǎn)sking parents to drive children to and from school
D．using other types of fuels
小題3:The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.
A．save more fuels and diesel for the country
B．keep the children safe on their way to school
C．make the children live a simple life
D．keep the children healthy and the environment clean

If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that   preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but in fact eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction(反應(yīng)) to fear.
Finding a hiding place
Unnecessary labor (勞動) will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys--- cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal(發(fā)信號) rescuers for help
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible--- it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket ( a special blanket for traveling ), build three smoky fires and put your blanket ---gold side facing out --- on the ground.
Do not walk away
It will make finding you more difficult , as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbitten(凍傷) , do not rewarm the affected area until you are out of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten(凍傷) feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.
小題1: When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you _____.
A．take a space blanket with youB．do more physical labor
C．try to find a car immediatelyD．walk as far as possible
小題2: According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they ______
A．do not take enough equipmentB．stay in the middle of the mountain
C．do not keep themselves warmD．stay in a snow-covered area
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Don’t travel by yourselfB．Mountain traveling is dangerous
C．Don’t get frightened in dangerD．Avoid going to unfamiliar places
小題4: Which statement is not true according to the passage?
A．If lost in the mountains, you must try to find a way out quickly.
B．Stay out of the valleys when looking for a hiding place
C．The best time to signal rescuers is during the day
D．With a space blanket, you can put it on the ground---gold side facing out

One bitterly cold day，a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood，I quickly set out with my best friend，Bruce，to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along with. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of danger.
When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and prepared to cut it down，my best friend suddenly warned me，“Don’t cut down that tree！It’s too close to the power line！”I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell，there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line，bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all，electricity can’t travel through wood，so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree，pain ran up my arm and through my head. I was shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what had happened，she quickly called the power company. The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree，and when I told him I had，his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed，” he said.
So why am I still alive？It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours，the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt，my mother was still serious. After all，I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience，I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective.  time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.
小題1:The underlined word “disregard” in the second paragraph means “________”．
A．pay no attention toB．take notice of
C．considerD．follow
小題2:In spite of Bruce’s warning，the author still cut down the tree because________.
A．he was sure there would be nothing to happen
B．he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and was anxious to go home
C．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing wind
D．he knew electricity can’t travel through wood
小題3:The underlined part “the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother” means “________”．
A．my mother was still angry with me for not listening to my friend’s warning
B．my mother was still in fear of the terrible accident
C．my mother was still comforting me
D．my mother was still worried about my safety
小題4:The author wrote the passage mainly to________.
A．give an account of one of his terrible experiences
B．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective through his experience
C．tell us not to cut trees down any more
D．remind us to be careful while we are working

If you are planning on traveling, there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出發(fā)) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at he airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (現(xiàn)金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination(目的地) before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome of Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
小題1:Where is the writer most probably from?
A．BritainB．The USAC．ItalyD．Greece
小題2:When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he      .
A．a(chǎn)sked the driver to give him a free ride
B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake(假) money
D．tried to pay by credit card
小題3:Generally, in May the weather in London is     .
A．warm and dryB．cold and dry
C．hot and wetD．cool and rainy
小題4:The writer mainly tells us      .
A．how to make life easier
B．how to be well prepared for a trip
C．how to enjoy ourselves on trip
D．how to schedule our trip
