Abby’s Lesson
① When talking about obeying rules, Abby will never forget her experience with her father and her pet Tobias, a small mouse at the airport years ago.
② One day, Abby’s father was taking her to visit her grandmother and they are not allowed to take a mouse into another country. It was a rule. But Abby put the mouse into her sock in her bag secretly without telling her dad. When they arrived at the airport, they had to be checked by the X-ray machine. Abby felt her legs shaking and her heart beating fast. Unexpectedly, they passed.
③ On the plane, Abby opened up the bag after her dad and the woman next to her fell asleep. Tobias was excited to jump out from the bag. He landed upside down on the woman’s knee. The woman screamed loudly so that many people on the plane heard the voice. At that moment, Abby put Tobias into her bag quickly. But her dad didn’t know at all but slept.
④ After they landed, Abby’s dad ticked (打勾) NO on a paper to: “Are you bringing any live animals into the country?” But a man at the X-ray machine asked Abby to open her bag. Abby had to open and pulled out the sock. Then the man led Abby and her father into a small, dark room. There were some people in uniforms. Tobias was in the sock on the desk. One police officer talked to Abby’s dad. “This is very serious,” he said, “You have tried to smuggle (偷运) an animal into this country and you have lied on the paper.” “It’s my fault,” Abby said in a small voice, “Dad didn’t know I had Tobias.” The police officer stared at her, “What’s your name? Have you ever been in trouble before?” Abby opened her mouth, but no sound came out. At last, her dad had to pay a big fine (罚款) for what Abby did. It cost a lot of money. And Tobias had to go into quarantine (隔离检疫) for six months.
⑤ It must be a real lesson for Abby. From then on, she never breaks the rules any more.

At home, my parents are strict with me. They ask me to get up early to read English every morning. On weekends, I can’t play outside with my friends. I have to take math lessons on Saturday, because I don’t do well in it. On Sunday, I have to learn to swim in a club. So I have no time to relax every day.
There are more rules at school. I think it’s cool to wear a hat, but we can’t wear hats at school. We have to wear school uniforms on school days. We can’t eat or listen to music in the classroom.
I think some rules are right. For example, we must be quiet in the library and we mustn’t fight. But why can’t we listen to music in the classroom after class? We need to relax! I’m not a little child now. I wish to have some time to do my favorite things.

Dear Molly,
I know how you feel. I know there are too many rules for students. But think about it, to be an adult (成年人), there are also many rules for them. For example, your mother must make breakfast for you every morning. She just wants you to have a healthy life. When you get to school, your teacher is always there. However, there are lots of things you can do. You can go to a movie, watch TV and play sports with your friends on weekends. You can also wear what you like on weekends. Finally, remember, rules can always help us to live better. People need rules, and the world needs rules.

【推荐1】During this past summer holiday, my family made a six-day trip to Phuket Island (普吉岛) in Thailand. Phuket is known for its beautiful, natural scenery that includes long coasts, a clear, blue sea and green hills.
In Phuket, we did some water sports such as diving, parasailing (驾帆伞滑翔) and canoeing, which were all new to me. The most impressive (印象最深) was diving with so many amazing fish swimming alongside me. I felt like we were close friends!
In addition to daytime activities, we also enjoyed the evenings. We would go to the fresh markets to buy seafood, such as different kinds of fish and crab (螃蟹). We also tried many local (当地的) fruits including mango, coconut and pineapple.
During the trip, I got many chances (机会) to meet and talk with people who were always friendly and helpful to us. They were always there when we asked where to play and eat. Their smiles warmed our hearts.
It was really an amazing trip. I tasted many “firsts” in my life and was glad to communicate (交流) with people from different backgrounds and cultures. In Phuket, I felt like I was in a mini global village to know each other.

【推荐2】Little Johnny lived in a poor village. One summer day Johnny’s mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried wood for the fire.
Johnny looked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade, and by it were some fine, wild blueberries(蓝莓).
“How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought Johnny. He picked up all of the blueberries. As he was lifting the first blueberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village.
With this in mind, he put the blueberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he asked himself.
He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He divided them into two parts, but each part looked small. He put them together again.
“I will only eat one,” he thought.
But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back.
When the sun was beginning to sink, Johnny set out for home. How happy he felt, then, that he had all his blueberries for his mother.
He heard his mother’s faint(虚弱的) voice calling him. "Is that you, Johnny? " I am glad you have come back. I am thirsty, and am longing for some tea.
Johnny ran to her and joyfully offered his wild blueberries. “And you saved them for your sick mother, didn’t you?” said she, laying her hand fondly on his head, with tears in her eyes.

【推荐2】①It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
②One reason for this is climate（气候）change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data （数据）from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield （平均产量）has reached 1. 37 tons of bananas per hectare （公顷）.
③However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world5s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.
©Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it*s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 "C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.
©Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings （茎段）rather than seeds （系中子）. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.
⑥One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus （真菌）in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.
1. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph② refer to?| A．A banana is a much-loved fruit. |
| B．A banana tastes great. |
| C．A banana is convenient to be eaten. |
| D．A banana will die out in 30 years. |
| A．In the last few years, the average yield of bananas has increased. |
| B．Panama has killed all the bananas in some areas like South Asia. |
| C．The higher the temperature is, the better bananas will grow. |
