A

From day one, I knew that you were going to be my favorite thing. I got you a few months after my sixth birthday. I was old enough to care for you and I tried to take good care of you.

Dad’s face was filled with joy every time he looked at you. Mom didn’t give you as much attention as you wanted, but I think she loved you. She was just too busy. My sister loved you, too. You were like our brother.

I’m sorry for yelling at you when you barked sometimes. You never yelled at me for talking, so I apologize. You always let me tease you and run around with you. And sometimes, you were my shoulder to cry on. The best feeling was having you greet me at the door when I returned. You kissed on my face. It showed me you loved me as much as I would always love you.

When you were 9, you became sick. When I got my mom’s call, I was worried and afraid. I hurried home and saw my sister crying. I thought it was the end of the world, but luckily it wasn’t. You became better the next day.

This fall, I had to leave for college. You were already 13 years old. I knew that leaving you after spring break could have possibly been my last time seeing you, and it was. Two months later, I lost you---my best friend.

Thank you for always being my best friend. I love you, buddy. Rest easy.

Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have. A US accent, perhaps imitates(模仿) a Hollywood star speaker? Or maybe you want to imitate the British accent of a BBC news reader?

Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex(异性)! Let’s listen to what they have to say.

Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK

A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl-next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle(感觉) that is really fashionable. A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang(鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.

To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics（特征）and lifestyles of the people.

Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US

From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot(好感) for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.

Everyone, however, agrees that the most attractive aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak .

The English accent seems almost like art.

4. In Stephen Yang’s opinion, accents just show ___________.

A. the beauty of the language                   

B. how the language is spoken

C. the cultural differences of the speakers         

D. the fashion of the day

5. The underlined word “cute” probably means____________.

A. strange          B. exciting         C. interesting       D. attractive

6. Many American girls watch Harry Porter again and again in order to _________.

A. learn the acting skills of these stars

B. learn the magic performed by Harry Potter

C. imitate the actors’ accents

D. know more about British English

7. what is probably the best title for this passage?

A. British English and American English

B. British English or American English

C. American English Accent Is Most Accepted

D. British English Accent Is Most Accepted

C

Are you carrying too much on your bag at school? I'm sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”．Not only the students in China have this problem，but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

 “It's hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it's so heavy，” said Rick Hammond，an 11­year­old student in the US.

Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps(带子) to carry them，but many other students choose rolling(有滚轮的) bags.

But even with rolling bags，getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.

But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight(重量)．

Scott Batch，a back doctor，said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%.But it is also important that older children don't stay with over 15%，because their bodies are still growing.

“Children are losing their balance(平衡) and falling down with their school bags，” he said.

Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

One of the best answers is，as some children said，to have no homework at all!

8．From the passage we can know that__________.

A．only children in China carry too heavy school bags

B．children in other countries don't carry too heavy bags

C．both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

D．only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

9．Children feel it hard for them to go upstairs because __________.

A．they are too young

B．their school bags are too heavy

C．they don't know how to go upstairs

D．their parents don't always go upstairs with them together

10．If a child carries a heavy school bag，__________.

A．his back and neck will be hurt  

B．his head and arms will be hurt

C．his hands will be hurt  

D．his feet will be hurt

11．According to the doctor，Scott Batch，if a child in Grade 5 weighs(重) about 30 kilos，the school bag he carries should not be over__________.

A．5 kilos          B．3 kilos         C．5.5 kilos         D．4.5 kilos

D

Liverpool city council(市政厅) want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city center.

   The council wants people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city center and into parks and open spaces.

   Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city center to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds—known as “robops”—will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon(游隼), make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.

12. What does Liverpool city council try to do?

A. They want people to feed the pigeons with healthy food.

B. They want the pigeons to move out of the city center.

C. They want people to keep the pigeons at home.

D. They want to keep robotic birds instead of pigeons.

13. The robotic birds are used to             .

A. help feed the pigeons    B. make the city colorful

C. drive away the pigeons   D. show people directions

14. Liverpool city council wants to clear the city of fat pigeons because           .

A. the pigeons are eating junk food

B. the pigeons might get killed

C. the pigeons make the city center crowded

D. the pigeons sit on the roofs of buildings

15. This passage is most probably a(n)          .

A. news report          B. notice        C. short story       D. advertisement

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be so strange.    16     

Don’t worry. The following tips can help you.

Be kind to the new people you meet at the new school.   17   If you think that you will say something that may make them feel uncomfortable, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you.
