1 . Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, I suppose you would run away; but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.

A．unless men try to run away	B．if they are too old and too weak
C．if they are able to get enough food	D．however men act towards them

2. Some wild animals will become very dangerous ______________

A．when they grow old	B．if they are left alone

A．how to protect wild animals	B．how animals look for their food
C．how to make friends with wild animals	D．how animals act towards men

During last year’s Spring Festival, I organized a badminton match for my large family. I came up this idea because we tended to overeating and failed to do enough exercise during this period these years. “My proposal won support from my uncles, aunts, several cousins or especially my grandparents.” When asking by my father why I chose this sport, I said almost everyone could play the badminton. The match, what lasted for the whole afternoon, ends without a winner. But after the match, we were quite “energy and relaxed.” Festivals are occasions for happy, but they can never be achieved without health.

3 . Social media has become a part of our lives. It is the communication tool that children have been brought up with, but it is still illegal (违法的) for a Canadian child under the age of 13 to have a social media page.

This is a shame when you consider the learning opportunities that social media offers. At our school, Vernon Christian Elementary school in Vernon, B. C., I can see how it provides children with the chance to learn how to communicate properly and effectively. If they want their friends to follow them or re-tweet (转发) their messages, they must learn to write them creatively in an interesting and amusing style, attach (粘贴) pictures, and ask questions to invite a response. Students will learn a lot from the process.

Social media can also help students to sharpen up their writing skills. My students usually use the blog to keep a diary about something that interests them, and suddenly they appear to love writing.

So is it necessary to restrict (限制) students in the social media age? Not really. A survey has found that 59 percent of children have already used a social network by the time they are 10, and 43 percent have messaged people they didn’t know by the age of 12.

Of course, primary schools should care about the dangers of social media. Measures (措施) should be taken to protect students from the dangers. In our school, we have a social media platform with a teacher’s dashboard (信息窗) where all activities can be managed. On one occasion, a boy wrote hurtful comments (评论) about a girl in a post message. After a discussion with him about why it is wrong to send hurtful emails, he was embarrassed and said sorry to the girl.

Over the past 23 years teaching in British Columbia, I have focused on computing. I therefore take notice of the bad effects of social media on primary students. However, social media offers learning and communicating opportunities to elementary students. More importantly, we cannot ignore (忽视) the fact elementary children are using social media. I strongly believe that exposing students to the social media will equip them to be wiser grow-ups in the future.

1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The writer has made students learn a lot by using social media as a teacher.

B．All the students can’t be allowed to use social media in British Columbia.

C．In Canada, children under 13 have rights to use social media pages freely.

D．The writer has paid less attention to primary students in using social media.

2. The phrase “sharpen up” in the third paragraph means “_________”.

A．Achieve

B．improve

C．form

D．practise

3. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

A．More schools will encourage students to use social media skillfully.

B．It is necessary to stop the students from using social media at school.

C．Social media at school will make great influence on students’ future.

D．It is so important to keep school websites safe in Information Age.

4. In the writer’s opinion, social media _________ at school.

A．will take the place of other learning styles slowly	B．can help students make a good habit of learning
C．will make students take less interest in learning	D．should be developed more widely among students

8 . It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu (an island in Canada) with my church to serve (服务) the military (军人) families. At first, I heard this and thought, “You are asking an eleven-year-old in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people?” Of course, I responded (回答) with a kind refusal (拒绝) , but my mom found a way to convince (说服) me to go.

When we were on the ferry (渡船) to the island, a thousand thoughts were running through my head, such as “What am I going to do here?” “Am I even going to be useful?” and “Why am I even here?” When we got to the island, I was asked to do the childcare. I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me. The first time I met the kids, I got to know them pretty well. They were all between the ages of four and six. Some of them stayed behaved (表现乖) and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.

With those kids, I was very strict, but I still tried to be positive (积极) and keep a smile. After all, they were just innocent (天真的) kids. In most of the time, I needed to help them with things like washing clothes, and setting tables. Even though it sounded dull, I enjoyed every second of it. One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool (打台球). I made friends with a few kids there. They were really easy to talk to. Some of the things we talked about were sports, food, video games, and most of all pool.

Even though I was only at Malibu, Canada for one week, I feel like I made spiritual (精神上的) changes in some people’s life. You don’t have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone’s life. In the end, it all comes down to what way you changed them. It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect. So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
