&&　　We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights , and there my wife saw the bookshelf.
　　It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop. &Buy it,& she said at once. &We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (车顶架) . I've always wanted one like that . &
　　What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too .
　　As it was getting darker, I drove slowly . Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through . Carrying furniture was a good idea.
　　After a time my wife said, &There's a long line of cars behind . Why don't they overtake (超车) ?&
　　Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past . But then , with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂) . One of the offices came to me.
　　&Right, sir, & he said. &Do you need any more help now?&
　　I didn't quite understand . &Thanks, officer, & I said . &You've been very kind. I lived just down the road. &
　　He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. &Well, Well, & he said and laughed . &It's a bookshelf you've got there ! We thought it was-er, something else . &
　　My wife began to laugh . Suddenly I understood why the police drove here .

　　 &C . His wife could use a new bookshelf.
　　 &D . He could save a lot of money and time.

　　 &A . Because they thought the writer liked studying very much and needed a bookshelf.
　　 &B . Because they didn't think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it .
　　 &C . Because they thought somebody in the writer's family had died and he needed help .
　　 &D . Because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car.
　　4 . Why did the writer's wife begin to laugh?
　　 &A . Because now she knew what mistake the police had made.

　　Look at the picture. It's a small room. We can see Betty in it. There is a bed and a desk in her room. What's on the wall? It's a map of England. We can see a photo (照片) near the map. It's Betty's photo. We can see a clock on the table. There are some flowers near it. Is her black cat on the bed? No, it's her hat. Where's her bag? It's on the bed, too.
1. Whose (谁的) room is it? &2. Is the room big or small? &
3. What's on the wall? &&&&&&4. Where are the flowers? &
5. What colour is Betty's hat? &
　　解答：阅读题对于初学者来说略有困难。学生希望直接从文章中找到答案。有的题可以但有的题却不能。这篇文章介绍的是一幅画。没有提到房间是Betty的，但所介绍的物品与她有关，故房间是Betty的。
　　1、答案为It's Betty's.
　　2、文章的第二句表明房间小，故答案为It's small.
　　3、墙上除了有英国地图外，旁边还有一张照片，故答案为There is a map of England and a photo.
　　4、文章没有说花在桌子上，但钟在桌子上，花在它的旁边，当然花在桌子上，故答案为They're on the table.
　　5、文章也没讲Betty的帽子是什么颜色，但把床上的帽子误认为黑色的猫。由此可见她的帽子是黑色的，故答案为It's black.

　　Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

&&&&On February 3rd，1949，New York Harbor（港）was an exciting place．Many people were there to greet a ship from France．On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars（火车车厢）filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America．These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train（Merci：a French word meaning &thank you&）．
After World War II（二战），a lot of factories，roads and farms in France had been destroyed．Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat．In the winter of 1947，a train was sent across the United States，stopping in cities and towns along the way．At every stop，people gave whatever they could．Factories gave clothing and medicine．Farmers gave food．Families gave money．Even school children gave away their pocket money．All the things were then taken to France by ship．
By 1949，the French had begun to recover（恢复）from the war．The Merci Train was their way of saying &thank you& to America．French people had filled the boxcars with gifts．Most of them&were personal，like hand - made toys，children&s drawings，or postcards．But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts．On each car，the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces．with an American eagle on the front．The boxcars were taken to each state of America，where they were warmly greeted．
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars．Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums．The Merci Train came out of the war，but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace．

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may &be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of &energy drinks& on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! &&
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged&from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing
car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the &enemy(敌人) & would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome&our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
( &&)11. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
A. one B. two C. three D. none
( &&)12. _________ would scare the author at night.
A. Streetlight and car lights &&&&&&&&&&&&&&B. Wild animals and enemies
C. Moving curtains and wind &&&&&&&&&&&&&&D. Strange sights and sounds
( &&)13. When she went to some other places, she would _________.
A. walk away without others &&B. take a bus by herself
C. follow others closely &&&&D. make sure not to take a wrong bus
( &&)14. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
A. She was usually popular among people. &B. She was always the leader of the others.
C. She always' got poor grades. &D. She was not at all liked by others.
( &&)15. The underlined word &overcome& means &_________& in Chinese.
A. 接受 &&&B. 忍受 C. 信服 &&D. 克服

&&&&Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn&t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.

&&&&One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn&t remember doing so!

Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? &Health& means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let&s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
(1). Eat a variety of&food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.

Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate(合适的).

For most people, the word &fashion& means &clothes&. But people may ask the question, &What clothes are in fashion?& And they use the adjective &fashionable& in the same way:
&&&&&She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.&
&&&&But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs&and in languages.
&&&&Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
