2 . Books

I like to read many kinds of books

From of the library shelf.

I can learn 50 very much,

And be a better girl.

I like the books with stories in

About the strange things,

Like UFOs from outer space,

And horses with big wings.

I like the books that tell me all

That I may want to know,

Like why a rainbow's in the sky,

And how the flowers grow.

I like the books of songs and games.

I like the books of colours.

I keep some by my bed at night,

And read them lots of times.

I like to read many kinds of books,

For then I can, you see,

Be the owner of the key

That opens minds and sets us free.

5 . Do you know how many bones are there in your body? When you were a baby you had about 330 bones, and now you have just over 200 bones. The number reduces because some bones join together as you grow. Your wonderful bones work together to protect you and support your body.

Many Uses

Many bones protect your body. For example, the bone that makes up your head is called the skull. The skull surrounds your brain and protects it, The ribs that cover your chest protect your heart and lungs.

Other bones are used to support the body. The many bones in your feet allow you to walk, and stand on your tiptoes. Your hands and feet have more than half of the bones in your body!

Biggest Bone

The longest and strongest bone in your body is in your leg. It is called the femur and it goes from your hip to your knee, It is a very important bone because it carries all of your weight and helps you move from place to place.

Smallest Bone

Would you believe the smallest bone in your body is in your ear? It is about the size of a grain of rice and is called the stirrup, When sound waves come into your ear, the stirrup shakes back and forth, allowing the sound waves to reach your brain. When the waves reach your brain. you hear the sound.

Funny Bones

Hah! The funny bone isn't really a bone at all. It is actually a nerve(神经). When you hit the nerve that is near your elbow. it really hurts or tingles. What's so funny about that? The funny bone probably got its name from the bone that is above your elbow. That bone is called the humerus, which sounds like the word "humorous", meaning "funny"

The bones that make up our bodies help us grow, and allow us to move. When you think about them, our bones are really wonderful.

6 . I was running a few errands(差事)in my car the other day. The sun was out, the radio was playing a joyful song, I was singing along. Then it happened, however, the sweet sound of the music ended and the news break began.

I drove on while the news started. Gas prices were getting high again. The race for the presidency(总统大选) was getting much tighter. Fights broke out when the fans of a sports team went wild while celebrating their team's win.

Finally I could take no more and turned off the radio. Silence seemed preferable to listening to anything else about the crazy and competitive world we live in. I slowed down as I entered a local town and watched the people as I drove by.

A man was helping an elderly lady out of a car and helping her walk into a store. A smiling woman was feeding a dozen birds in her backyard. A young man was walking along, carrying his 2-year-old daughter safely. He tickled( 胳肢) her gently when she pulled the hat off his head and they both laughed. I laughed too as I looked at all of this kindness. Although the music was off, I felt my heart singing.

In truth, this world could use a little more kindness and a lot less competition. Kindness makes us all winners in life and shows us that we don't have to beat others all the time.

1. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The radio was playing a joyful song.	B．The writer's voice became weak.
C．The song sounded a little heavy.	D．The radio started playing the news.

2. The writer suggests that we should ____________.

A．be more competitive	B．move to a faraway town
C．be kind to others	D．listen to less news

3. Why did the writer turn off the radio?

5. Why did the writer say “Although the music was off, I felt my heart singing”?

7 . Large stores are doing a lot of different things to try to attract more shoppers. Many of them now have greeters who stand near the door. The greeters' job is to say hello to the shoppers and make them feel at home. They also help people find what they are looking for and answer any other question. College students often take jobs as greeters. Greeters don't get paid very well, but they don't need to spend much time on the job. They have the time to do other things like study.

Discount programs are also a way to attract shoppers. Some stores give discounts if a shopper spends a certain amount of money. For example, the shopper may get 20 percent off on the first $100 he or she spends. When the shopper spends over $ 100, the discount may reach 25 percent. This encourages shoppers to spend more money at this store.

_________This is a very easy way to shop. It becomes really important during holiday seasons when the stores are crowded with shoppers. For many people, it's much more enjoyable to sit at home with a cup of coffee and pick out what they want. To make online shopping even more attractive, most stores provide lower prices. Some people think that one day we’ll do all our shopping on the Internet.

1. Why do many college students take jobs as greeters?

2. Large stores provide discount programs in order to make shoppers _______________ at their stores.
3. Many people enjoy_________________ while drinking coffee at home.
