In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat（重复）it. If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

You mustn’t be absent（缺席）on a test day. If you’re seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a makeup test（补考）, you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school.

Be on time!It is impolite（不礼貌的）to be late. If you are late, be sure to come in quietly. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. Take out your books after you sit down. In the US, you needn’t knock at the door before you come into the classroom.

If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too. There is no need to ask for the teacher’s agreement.

3 . There is no doubt that mothers play an important role in the lives of their children. But what about a father’s role? My belief is that fathers play just as important a role as mothers.

Fathers give us support. They are the shore we swim to when our arms and legs feel tired. They are the strength we rely on as we take our first step into the world. Fathers can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.

For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them.

______, the father is their first idol and possible the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.

For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can trust to watch over the babies as closely as we would. We are protected in the knowledge of their love. A father is the person on the planet with whom can do whatever we want... one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face our devotion.

Without fathers, we wouldn’t be moms. I would like to thank them from all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in this business of raising children.

Chicken eggs are just thin shells(壳) made of mineral(矿物), but you may be surprised how strong they are: What you need: *Four eggs                                  *A bowl                                         *A pen *Scissors or a knife                     *A piece of paper                            *Some books What to do: STEP 1: Use the scissors or knife to break a hole in the small end of each egg. Empty out what’s inside into the bowl. Wash and dry the shells. STEP 2: Draw a fine line around the widest part of each egg. Break away the shell between the line and the hole slowly. STEP 3: Put shells in a square at the four corners of the piece of paper, with the round end of the egg on top. STEP 4: Place books gently onto the four egg shells one after another, and see how many books you can add before the egg shells break down! What happened: The strength of an eggshell lies in its shape. It’s like a 3D arch(拱形) or dome(穹顶圆屋顶), which is one of the strongest shapes. The shape of the eggshell spreads pressure all over the whole egg, rather than at one point. In fact, the shape of the eggshell is seen in many types of architecture, including doorways and large windows. The strong walls of the shell will support the weak point. At right conditions, the thin eggshell can even hold up 20 kg of weight!

5 . 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误。正确的涂A，错误的涂B。

It is important to know the relationship between children and sports. Parents should know that sports play an important part in the development of a child. The reasons are following:

(1) They get physical exercise, so they are fitter and stronger when they grow up.
(2) They know the importance of teamwork.
(3) They become more outgoing.
(4) They get to know the importance of working hard.

When parents choose a sport for their children, they should remember the following things. First, the special skills that the sport needs shouldn’t be too hard. Second, don’t force the child to take up a sport that he or she doesn’t enjoy. It’s also important to remember not to push a child too hard to play a game. The child should learn a game and develop it at his or her own pace（进度）. This will also give him or her the chance to choose a right sport.

The relationship between children and sports is usually discussed by many families all around the world. Remember to choose a sport that is fit for the child’s age and know the child’s ideas on any sport.

1. The writer mainly writes this passage for children.
2. Doing sports can make children become thinner and happier according to the passage.
3. The second paragraph mainly talks about how to choose a sport for a child.
4. We can learn that the underlined word “force” means “强迫” in Chinese.
5. The main idea of the passage is the relationship between children and sports.

6 . Do you feel relaxed when you walk into a room with blue walls? If yes, maybe it’s because blue is a calm color.

Sometimes colors can affect our feelings and moods. Wearing blue clothes or sleeping in a blue room is good for our mind and body, because this color gives us good feelings. Blue is also the color of sadness, so you may say, “I’m feeling blue.” when you’re feeling sad.

Green is the color of nature. It can give us more energy when we feel tired.

Some colors can make us feel warm. People in cold winter use warm colors like orange and yellow instead of white and blue. Orange means happiness. It can bring us success and cheer us up when we are sad. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it can remind（提醒）us of a warm, sunny day.

In a word, we can try different colors if we aren’t feeling our best.

1. Is it good for us to wear blue clothes or sleep in a blue room?
_________________________________________________________________________
2. Which color can give us more energy?
_________________________________________________________________________

8 . 阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题。

It seems food deliverymen (送货员) are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.

These rude behaviors have caught the public’s attention.

In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer.

Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their praising systems. Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice then he will be stopped from driving food service delivery transports for a whole year.

1. How many car accidents did food deliverymen in Shanghai cause in the first half of 2017?
____________________________________________.
2. Why do the deliverymen take the risk of their lives to break traffic rules?
____________________________________________.
