It’s not easy to be a scientist’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Mother’s Day writing competition for the whole school “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. “My mother is a scientist.” N0, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw her. How did I see my mother? Hmm, I saw her sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how she hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, she wasn’t just a world—famous scientist. She was my mom.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. The second prize was announced. It was me!
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My mother’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. Tears were running down my mother’s face. I saw my father blowing his nose. He cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my mother’s son.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确，对的涂(A)，错的涂(B)。
Students were asked to write about their mothers at the writing competition.
The result was announced on Thursday night.
The writer wrote things on his mother’s work.
The son won the first prize at the competition.

Many Chinese people like American country music(乡村音乐 ),such as(例如) the songs of John Denver. But still some people don’t know when country music began.
Country music is from the folk music (民间音乐)of the Appalachian Mountains in the east of America. There, people sang while playing the violin and guitar. They sang about everyday life, love and their problems. So the songs were sometimes a little sad.
One of the most popular country music singers is John Denver, who is also quite famous to the Chinese. For Denver, music was a language that could bring the world together. He says music can bring people together. We will understand(理解) each other better through(通过) music. People are different in colour and they may speak different languages, but people are the same in mind and body(在心灵和精神方面). All of them love music and can understand music.
The world lost a great man when John Denver died in 1997. But his music and words will live on.
John Denver is a great          singer.

American country music is from the          music of America.

“Music was a language that could bring the world together” means (意思是)people        .

John Denver died in         .

Which sentence is right?

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining, too. In India, most of people would look at the reduction(减少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a “school bag” which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 1.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in The Asian Age newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers(出版商) of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download their textbooks from the Internet. Taking notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of this company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?
A. old and dirty
B. big and heavy
C. small and light

A. They would reduce the textbooks.
B. They would invent a new machine.
C. They would work with the publishers.

A. worse              B. better      C. more impossible

A. that is like newspaper
B. that can work as a teacher

根据短文内容，将方框里A—E五个句子分别填入空缺处，使内容完整。
Everyone wants to be good-looking. We usually worry too much about how we look. Then how important is our appearance?          Do you think beautiful people are always happier people?
   Because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person. There are also some people who think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid.        .
    No one wants to have a face that even his mother doesn’t want to look at. As a matter of fact, most of the people are plain----that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten.
Then maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people are almost always attractive and unforgettable.          It can help you find happiness.

A recent report from China Daily says that about 18% of our teenagers can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with others.
Zhang Qiang, a Junior 2 student from Sichuan, could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons. He was afraid of exams. When he looked at the exam paper, he would be very nervous and couldn’t think of anything to write.
Another student, a 15-year-old girl called Wu Yan from Guangdong often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas. She became so angry with them that she started to cut her finger with a knife.
However, many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look strange if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secrets. In order to solve the teenagers’ problems, here is some advice:
●Talk to your parents, teachers or friends often and ask them for help.
●Take part in group activities and play sports.
●Go to see a doctor if the problem seems to be serious.
