4 . Flora and her dad are moving to a new house soon. Next week, workers will build a car park in the yard of the old house. The yard is full of beautiful flowers grown by Flora and Dad.
“My poor flowers,” Flora looks at the bright purple blooms (花朵) sadly. She sits outside, selling things she doesn’t want to take to the new house. Beside her hangs a sign with Yard Sale on it. Several of her neighbours come to have a look.
Dad comes out, holding some snacks in his hands. “Here’s a snack for everyone.” Flora’s dad loves sharing things.
Occasionally (偶然地), Flora feels the soft earth move under her heels (鞋后跟), and she knows what to do.
She whispers her plan to Dad. He nods with a smile. Flora takes out some flowerpots (花盆) happily. Carefully she digs up the flowers with some earth and puts them into the pots.
She lines up the pots near her sign. Now she is ready to be a generous person, just like her Dad.
“What’s the price of a pot?” asks Anna from next door.
“Zero cent!” she smiles, “Pick any pot you like!”

5 . A Neighborhood Party
A neighborhood party is a great way to raise money for a charity, to celebrate a holiday, or to get to know the people in your neighborhood. There’s no better way to bring the community together than to throw a party!
Before you begin, you first need to find out where to have the party. Churches or community centers are often suitable for neighborhood events. If the weather is nice, many people prefer to have the party outside. It could be at a park or on a street that has been closed for you ahead of time.
Next, ask your friends and neighbors to help. Volunteers (志愿者) are important for making sure the party runs smoothly. Get plenty of people to help tell others about the party, set up the party, and clean up after the party. A volunteer can post fliers or pass out cards to people in the neighborhood.
During the party, be sure to have lots of things to do. Many parties feature activities for kids, such as relay race or face painting. At most parties, food and drinks are necessary.
The best parties are when everyone brings something to share. After all, that’s what being part of a neighborhood is about!
1. Paragraph 1 tells us _________ to have a neighborhood party.| A．the reasons | B．the persons | C．the dates | D．the results |
| A．Raising enough money. | B．Getting to know the people. |
| C．Celebrating a holiday. | D．Deciding the place to have it. |
| A．Who can be volunteers. | B．When to set up the party. |
| C．What volunteers need to do. | D．Whether to post fliers or pass out cards. |
| A．Telling others about it. | B．Having relay races. |
| C．Choosing volunteers. | D．Cleaning up. |
| A．Efforts. | B．Sharing. | C．Preparing. | D．Confidence. |
6 . How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that’s what’s happening in my community (社区). There’s a park in my community, but some people want to turn it into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it’s a bad idea.
First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn’t fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down (拆卸). This is a waste of time and money. It’s also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swines (秋千), for example, will probably just end up as litter (废弃物).
Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract (吸引) lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won’t have anywhere to go and they won’t have anything to do. This means they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than (而不是) get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn’t it be better to give them something to do at the park?
Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护) it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can’t afford (负担得起) to join a golf club? That means the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.
Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest (建议) we have a community meeting before plans go any further.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。1. The writer starts the passage by ________.
| A．telling a story | B．asking a question | C．giving an example |
| A．going to get some exercise |
| B．being out on the street causing trouble |
| C．staying at home and turning on a video game |
A． | B． | C． |
| A．how to make the park more beautiful |
| B．children like to go skating |
| C．why we should stop the golf course from being built. |
7 . Buffy, Debby, Jamie, Albert and Matt are talking something together in a group on WeChat. Here is what they say.
| Buffy: Hey, guys! I have a lot of things that I don’t need, so I’m thinking about having a yard sale. What do you think? Debby: Having a yard sale is not easy. You have to collect things, put prices on them, put them out on tables and then wait for people to come. And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices. For all that time and work, you make very little money. Why not just sell your things online for higher prices? Jamie: Debby’s right. But I think it’d be even better to just give your things to people who need them. I just sent out a lot of things last week. Albert: Hey, I love yard sales! It’s a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day. In my experience, Saturday is the best. Matt: I agree with Albert. You can make money and meet interesting people. I made some good friends at my last yard sale. |
1. Why does Buffy start the chatting (聊天)?
| A．To ask her friends for advice. |
| B．To sell things to the group members. |
| C．To invite her friends to go to a yard sale. |
| A．Only Albert. | B．Debby and Albert. | C．Albert and Matt. |
| A．Clever. | B．Kind-hearted (善良的). | C．Hard-working. |

Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice.
Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care centre. You can help little kids to learn or play with them.
Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner to the homeless, volunteer at an old people’s home, or give out toys to kids.
Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters need volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you’re walking dogs you get some exercise, too.
Protect the environment. Take part in a park “clean up day”. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river.
Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you make sick people happy, you also feel happy. If you have some hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children’s hospital and teach them these interesting things.

10 . I dream of being a fireman someday
Saving families from the flames
What a good job that will be
Fighting fires every day
Many people will thank me

Mothers and children, sons and uncles
Will always want to meet me
In a fire, they will need me
Happy to help with hands and hose
Climbing ladders to the windows
There I will be, to rescue
