Last year, four children waited for their school bus every day for ten minutes, on the same dirty street corner. There were old bottles, parts of old bikes, and      soda cans（苏打罐） everywhere around the bus stop. The trees were brown and had no leaves, and there wasn’t any flower at all. It was ugly.
One Friday, one of the children looked at the corner and decided to do         about it. The next Monday, she brought a bag and      some of the old bottles to recycle.

Do you still remember the great snacks in your childhood? Do they remind you of your happy childhood?
Sugar Figure（糖人）

In the old days, you could always find people making sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦芽糖）with a small spoon,   using
his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragonet, and so on. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would crowd around and admire it.
Dada Bubble Gum（泡泡糖）

Almost every kid is fond of bubble gum. They often gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! It was cheap. I could get 2 for 1 yuan.
Baby Face Ice Cream

We  prefer  to  call  it  snowman  ice  cream.  It  tastes  very  delicious.  It  was rather
expensive; I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.
Malt Sugar Candy

Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It’s delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan. My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar. What happy time!
A child who wants a cartoon character should choose ____.

If you had 10 yuan, you could buy ____.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

What is the purpose of the passage?

There is an unusual holiday in the US that falls on the fourth Thursday of April every year. It is very different from Christmas, Thanksgiving, or other well-known holidays. It is called Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This holiday is meant to be educational as well as fun. The idea is simple, and the name says it all. It is a day for working parents to show their kids what they do all day.
Although this holiday doesn’t seem very complex(复杂的), it has meaningful purposes. There are many
good reasons why a child should know what his or her parents do at work. For one thing, it is hard for children to understand the life of an adult when all they know is school. Therefore, this holiday helps children learn what it means to have a job. It also helps them learn about the differences and similarities between their world and the grown-up world. When young people know more about their parents’ lives, they can form stronger parent-child relationships. This alone is worth a day of celebration.
This year’s Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day falls on _____ .

The underlined part in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___ .

The writer thinks the holiday is ____.

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early  1900s.
Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.
The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong.

These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can readily be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it. Whatever happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody.”
What can we know exactly from the first paragraph?
