1 . In 2013, the H7N9 virus(病毒) hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染) with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.
Don’t be afraid— it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect(保护) yourself when it comes.
Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet(厕所), and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.
Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes（打喷嚏）or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distant(距离) while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.
Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.

2 . Many people can't get good and enough sleep because of the stress(压力) of working and studying. Do you often wake up in the night? Can you get up easily on time? Do you feel tired after getting up? Can you put your heart into the class? Do you feel sleepy during the daytime? If your answer is yes, that means you get a bad night's sleep.
But how to get good and enough sleep? First, never drink coffee before bedtime. Second, don't eat too much. Third, you'd better take a shower before going to bed. Fourth, go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Another way is to count numbers in your heart. It can give you fast sleep. Lying on the bed for long doesn't mean you will have good sleep. It's important for us students to get good and enough sleep. Less than eight hours is not enough. Let's keep a good sleep habit.

3 . ①" Beep, beep," goes the car horn(喇叭). You've got dressed, but you've not had time to eat breakfast. You run out of the front door swinging your school backpack, and jump into the waiting car. Inside, your friends say "hey" as one of their parents drives you to school. This is the daily car pooling(拼车)to school.
② Car pools are a common way of transportation for many students in the US. You, along with many of your friends can fit in the car, and share the journey to school each day. Parents may take turns to drive you all to school. Here are some good points that may catch your eyes.
③ What do you do in the car? If you have no time for breakfast, you can have it in the car. If you’re behind on your homework, this is your last chance to finish it before class. Some students simply add their sleep time before classes begin.
④Besides walking or cycling to class, car pools are energy efficient(节能的), if you can't take the school bus. Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day, they can all squeeze into one. Think of how much _____▲______that you can save!
⑤ More importantly, car pooling teaches students valuable life lessons not taught in class. It can teach students about the social responsibility of being on time. If you’re late, then all of your friends will be late, too.

4 . Little Jack loves being the youngest boy, since everybody cares about him so much. However, the only problem for him is that Mum never lets him play on the street. So his favorite time of the day is when his friend Timmy comes to play.
One day when Little Jack was playing with a ball with Timmy, the ball rolled across the street. Before remembering Mum’s rules, his little legs were running as fast as they could. At that time, he heard a loud sound. As he looked to the left, he saw a big white car very close to him.
Uncle Joe came running from behind. “Little Jack, are you okay?" he shouted loudly, but little Jack could not speak and he could not move.
Just then his mum came out. “Little Jack, get out of the street RIGHT NOW!” she ordered. Little Jack felt his legs and body shaking, and he could not stop himself crying.
Uncle Joe said softly(温柔地), "Come on, Wee Man. Get up. You' re out of danger now.” Little Jack answered. “I know the rules, but I just don’t want to follow them.”
Uncle Joe’s face got serious and said, " Well, Wee Man. Nobody really wants to follow the rules at first. But when we understand that people make rules just to help us, we begin to see why we must follow them.”

How can you protect yourself if there's an earthquake at school? What should you do if you are caught in a stampede（踩踏）? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.
This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students（NDESEMSS）（全国中小学生安全教育日）. The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.
A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries（伤害）.
What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm（镇静）is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.
A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.
Earthquakes are common natural disasters（灾难）. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.
When there's a fire, follow the teachers' instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.
1. What's the theme of NDESEMSS this year?| A．To give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe. |
| B．To give students more knowledge about health and make sure they eat healthily. |

8 . For many learners of English, learning vocabulary means learning long lists of words by heart. Although this skill can help you remember words, how can you learn vocabulary so that you can use the words?
Plan your vocabulary learning by choosing what to remember. Think about how you choose words to learn. Do you try to learn all the new words you find in a text? Do you think of your listener when you choose vocabulary? Will the person listening to you be able to understand this word or phrase?
Here's an example.
We have some words for weather here. All the phrases mean the same thing: It's raining cats and dogs；it's pouring with rain；it's raining stair rods；there is torrential rain；the rain is terrible. Now which ones are the best for you to remember? Well,“It's raining cats and dogs” is a nice expression—it's very funny and so it is easy to remember—but many people wouldn't understand you if you said this. Even in England, people don't usually say this. If you're thinking of talking to different people—and not just people from England—perhaps it's better to say “torrential rain” or “The rain is terrible” because they are easier for other people to understand.
English has too many words for you to learn all of them, so you need to decide which words you want or need to learn. Think about the context(语境) or sentences with the words. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.
1. What's the passage mainly about?| A．Listening to music. | B．Speaking English. |
| C．Learning vocabulary. | D．Asking for advice. |
| A．By telling stories. | B．By asking questions. |
| C．By giving examples. | D．By listing new words. |
| A．Three. | B．Four. | C．Five. | D．Six. |
| A．trying to use the words |
| B．thinking about the context |
| C．choosing which words to learn |
| D．remembering all the words |
9 . If a friend helps us, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note. But in fact, how many of us sit down to do this? “People don’ t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Professor Kumar said. Why don’t people like to send thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they get one?
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or getting these notes made them feel. Here is the result.
They found that these writers didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them. They worried about what to say and how to say it. The receivers, however felt enjoyable when they got the notes. When you are a receiver, you really care about the warmth of the note, “Kumar says. “How friendly and warm was it?”
Also, the writers didn’t like to write the notes because they thought it might be awkward (尴尬的) for the receiver to get a thank-you note. But in fact, it’s not true. “They feel quite happy,” Kumar says. “They don’t really feel awkward at all.” If people knew that writing a thank-you note could be so important to others, they would do it more often, Kumar says.
In a word, simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat (对待) other people and how we feel.
1. We know from the passage that if a friend helps us, it’s a good idea to ________.| A．just say thank you | B．write him a thank-you note |
| C．sit down with him | D．get a thank-you note from him |

Look at the center circles of Diagram（图）A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger?
Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B, But in fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.
“What's happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don't worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret（解读）the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion”（视觉错误）.
Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I Shrunk The Kids just make use of illusions.
