In my family, there     1     (be) three people. My father is a     2     (farm) and goes to work in the field every day. He isn’t good at     3     (talk) but he gets on well with other people. My mother is very kind and is     4     (friend) to everybody. So when I have     5     problem I will turn     6     her for help.

3 . Let’s be honest, kids are weird. And when you hear your three-year-old arguing over who gets to be the mom while playing ＂house＂ alone in the other room, you might question if you’ve done something wrong as a parent. But don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal for your child to have an imaginary friend, and it even has some benefits. While your kids are benefitting from playing with their imaginary friend, try out these other ways to raise an intelligent child!

One of the biggest pros is that it promotes creativity. Just think about it — you have to be kind of creative to carry on a conversation with an imaginary figure that doesn’t respond. Developmental psychologist Marjorie Taylor told PureWow that your children’s creativity will remain with them as they get older, even when they stop hanging out with their ＂friend＂.

Along with being more creative, they will also have a better developed and more diverse vocabulary as well as stronger social skills. Talking to ＂Sally＂ or ＂Bob＂ all day will allow them to practice their speech and conversation skills. Researchers at La Trobe University in Australia found that children who engage with their imaginary friends on a regular basis use more complex sentences and are more confident in everyday social situations.

There are also some benefits for the parents. If your child’s siblings aren’t around or they’re an only child, they have someone to entertain them while you take the time to chip away at your never-ending to-do list. So even though it might get old when your kids constantly ask you to set an extra plate at the table for their imaginary friend, they’ll benefit in the future from keeping them around. Having an extra member of the family can’t be that bad, the more the merrier, right?

1. Who is the three-year-old talking to while playing ＂house＂ alone?

A．His toy.	B．His mother.
C．His ＂friend＂.	D．He himself.

2. How does Marjorie Taylor like children’s playing with their ＂friends＂?

A．It helps children develop better.

B．It relieves busy parents’ worry.

C．It shows children’s loneliness.

D．It connects the family closer.

3. What does the author suggest to parents?

A．Taking their children to play outside.

B．Sparing their time for their children.

C．Adding an extra member of their family.

D．Letting their children play while at work.

4 . My mother is a kind and gentle woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher she works diligently (勤奋地) and efficiently. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort. I have an elder brother. He and I both love her dearly, as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching maths at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to the school early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. She loves her students and cares for them. She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent qualities and very good teaching results, she is always praised and respected by both her students and colleagues alike. And she has been chosen or elected as a model teacher several times.

My mother is a thrifty and industrious (勤劳的)woman. She never buys expensive or beautiful dresses for herself; she goes occasionally to buy some inexpensive and high-quality clothes for us. She never goes to big restaurants to enjoy expensive meals. She only eats a cheap meal outside when she is too busy. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints. As soon as she comes back from school, she sets about doing housework; sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. Besides, she prepares nice dishes for us to eat. She seems to be on the go all the time. As she has been very busy working hard every day, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, and her hair has turned silver white. But she looks

as cheerful and happy as ever.

Often she says to us, “Work while you work, and play while you play.” What a good piece of advice this is! I never forget it and always keep it in my mind. This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my action.

7 . The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years. The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot. They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings. They knew much about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.

In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it. The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were builders or priests (祭司)．

The Maya believed in many gods. They built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.

Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.

Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from a deadly disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people. They are still one of our greatest mysteries.

1. The Maya lived better than most people of their times because ______．

A．they had skillful workers

B．they believed in many gods

C．they knew better about nature

D．they could measure time correctly

2. It can be inferred from the passage that ______．

A．the priests were not highly respected by the ancient Maya

B．the ancient Mayan cities and temples were well built

C．the ancient Mayan people led a happy life in the cities

D．the ancient Mayan people died from a serious disease

3. The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refers to ______．

A．the Mayan people	B．the Mayan villages
C．the Mayan cities	D．the lost secrets of the Maya

4. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A．The Cities of the Maya	B．The Belief of the Maya

8 . The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a weekly ___________ that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive ___________.

My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we ___________ along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I ___________ that almost every crossing I passed through was ___________ by a panhandler(乞丐). And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a (n) ___________ lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull alongside a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh, by the way … here’s lunch.”

We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately headed back in the opposite direction for home. ___________, the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was ___________ and didn’t know quite how to behave.

She made her way to our car, “No one has ever done ___________ like this for me before,” she said with ____________. Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So, ____________ do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”

She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch.” I was ____________, but before I could say anything, she continued, “You see, I have a little girl and she just loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have the money. But you know ____________ ? Tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”

I don’t know if the kids ____________ the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too ____________ or insignificant to really effect change. Yet in that moment, I recognized the truth of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things — only small things with great love.”

When I was a very young children, my father created a regular practice. I remember well years late. Every time he arrived home at end of the day, we’d greet her at the door. He would ask who we was and pretend not to knowing us. Then he and my mother would have had a drink when she prepared dinner and they would talk about his day and hers. When they chat, my father would lift my sister and me up to sit in the top of the fridge. It was both excited and frightening to be up there! My sister and I thought he was so cool for putting us there.
