One weekend， Taylor， an eight﹣year﹣old girl， went shopping with her parents． She asked her parents to buy a toy she wanted． Instead of giving her money to buy the toy， Taylor's father encouraged her to make money by herself． "How can I make money？" Taylor thought for a while and had an idea， "Why not make cakes and sell them at church to raise money to buy the toy？"

    The next day， Taylor started her plan． She first needed some money for tools and materials． So she borrowed ＄40 from her parents and promised to pay it back． Then she began to make cakes by herself． To her parents' surprise， she made ＄175 by selling the cakes that Sunday．

What's a spacewalk？ Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft（航天器） while in space， it is called a spacewalk． Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons． For example， experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft． This lets scientists learn how being in space affects（ 影响） different things． By going on spacewalks， astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix．

    When astronauts go on spacewalks， they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe． Inside spacesuits， astronauts have the oxygen（氧气） they need to breathe and the water they need to drink． To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe， the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door． When on a spacewalk， astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft． Tethers are like ropes， connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft． They keep astronauts from floating（ 漂 浮 ） away into space． Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER． SAFER is worn like a backpack． It helps an astronaut move around in space．

    How do astronauts train for spacewalks？ One way is by going for a swim． Floating in space is a lot like floating in water． Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool． For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk， astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool． Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality（虚拟现实）． It looks and feels just like a spacewalk．

    Today， only three countries have finished spacewalks independently． They are Russia， the United States and China． The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia． Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk． The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev． He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space．

The cold wind blew strongly outside． Amaya was warm in her house， thinking about an article she'd read at school． The article was about kids who helped out their communities， and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town， Harvard．

    The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help． In the article， the kids had grown food for people who needed food， but it was winter． She couldn't start a garden． Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping．

    As they drove along the road， Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk（ 人 行 道 ），wearing only light jackets． How cold they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats， hats and gloves for people who needed them．

    She shared her idea with her mom， who thought it was great． But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing？ Amaya decided to talk to her teacher， because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least．

    Ms． Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea． They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard． Then they wrote a letter explaining the project． Ms． Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster about it， so they could get the whole school to join in it． They met with the headmaster during lunch time． He was excited about the idea， and said he would make sure copies（复印件） of the letter went home with all the students．

    They collected enough winter clothing in only one week． Then they left the clothes around two parks， so families who needed clothes could get them there． Three days later， Amaya and her mom went shopping again． She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard． This time， though， the family looked nice and warm in some new coats， hats and gloves． Amaya felt warm in her heart， and was very glad she could help others．

Scrub， the pet cat of Jennifer's， was found! It got lost five years ago． Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time． She thought Scrub would never come back． But one day she got a call from an animal shelter（庇护所） and was told they had found Scrub!

    How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer？ How did they know Jennifer's phone number？ All the information was available because of the microchip， a very small computer chip（薄片）． It was placed under Scrub's skin many years earlier．

    The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal's shoulder to keep its ID number． Once the chip is in place， the pet does not feel it anymore． When lost pets are brought to animal shelters， people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it， then they'll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet's owner． This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub．

    Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back． In New York， a dog named Roxy was missing for months． Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey． No one knows how the dog got to a different state． However， thanks to her microchip， Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner．

    In 2008， a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost， the couple tried everything to find him． They visited animal shelters every day for six months， made posters and even offered a ＄500 reward（酬金）． As years went by， they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter． Without the microchip， the cat would never be able to come home again．

    Microchips can not only work for a pet's whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they've been away from home． This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home．

（1）How did Jennifer find her pet cat？　　

A． By visiting animal shelters．

B． By offering a ＄500 reward．

C． With the help of the microchip．

A． They are very small computer chips．

B． They are under an animal's skin of its shoulder．

C． They can help the owners to find the long﹣lost pets．

（3）The right order of how animal shelters help lost pets return home is　　．

①Get the ID number of the lost pet．

②Call the owner to bring the lost pet home．

③Look for the microchip of the lost pet．

④Call the microchip company to match the number to the information of its owner．

A． ③①②④

B． ③④①②

C．①③④②

D． ③①④②

B． Scrub didn't feel uncomfortable with the microchip in its body

C． it took a long time to match Roxy's ID number to her owner's information

Ray was thought to be a strange boy． One day when he was flying his kite， he said to himself， "Did anybody ever try to fly a kite at night？ I think it must be very fun． But the kite can't be seen in the dark， what if I tie a light to it？ That would be really good． I （1）　　 （try） it tonight．"

    As soon as it was dark， he （2）　　 （take） his kite and lantern， and went to a large field about a mile from his home． He tied the lantern to the tail of his kite． The lantern （3）

　　（make） of paper． The kite flew higher and higher． He tied the string（ 线） to a tree， then he stood there， staring at his kite． It floated（ 飘 ） high up into the air． How wonderful! While Ray （4）　　（enjoy） his special kite， some people in the village also saw it．

    "Look! A light（5）　　 （fly） in the sky，" one person said． "It can't be a light，" said a man．

    "Perhaps it's a big firefly（萤火虫） ，" said another．

    "Maybe it's a comet（彗星），"said another man． "How strange!" said a boy．

    "Let's find out what this strange light （6）　　 （be）．" the last one said． Then they went to the field．

    While this was taking place， Ray， who had gotten tired of standing， was sitting behind a tree． He （7）　　 （see） the men as they came， but they didn't see him． When they reached under the light， and saw what it was， they looked at each other and said while laughing， "There is nothing unusual （8）　　 （happen）! This is just a trick of some naughty boys'， but it （9）　　（fool） us all， let us keep the secret．" Then they laughed again and went back to the village．

    When the men had gone， Ray thought it was time for him （10）　　 （go）， so he went home， too． When his mother heard what he had done， she hardly knew whether to laugh or scold（责备）， but just told him to go to bed．

Marty was growing up． All he wanted was to do things in his way． Why did all the wolves have to do （1）e　　 together？ They ate together， played together， slept together， and hunted（猎食） together． Everywhere， every day． It was tiring．

    Marty thought he could do things （2）h　　 now， such as hunting a rabbit， hanging out， sleeping without the pack and so on． But his mom wouldn't let him try those （3）i　d　 on his own． She always said to him， "Packs（群体） help us live．"

    One day， the pack was walking through a forest． Marty thought， "I'm going to go down that path（小路） and I'll have plenty to eat! I don't need you， guys!" He ran off without telling anyone． He ran for miles． He started to get （4）t　　， and it was getting dark． Usually， the pack would all find a place together to sleep， but Marty had no pack now． He found a small cave to sleep in． He thought， "Sleeping would be much easier with my pack by my side． If something dangerous comes， they will （5）p　　 me．"

    He could hardly sleep that night． The next morning， he decided to go （6）b　　 to the place where he'd last been together with his pack． On the way to find his pack， he smelled a deer． "Hmmmm…" Marty thought， "The pack would be happy if I brought a deer for them all．" （7）S　　 he decided to hunt on his own． He followed the deer into an open space． Marty looked around． Where was the deer？ Suddenly， something charged（ 猛冲） out of the trees at him! It was the deer， and those antlers（ 鹿角） were sharp!!! Marty ran from it as （8）f　　 as he could． After a while， the deer （9）s　　 running after him． Marty rested．

    Now， he felt hungry and lonely． He realized his mom was （10）r　　， packs did help them live． He hoped he could find his pack and work hard to help them as much as they help him．

Reading is fun! Besides for fun， we can also analyze （分析） texts to learn more from the texts and more about the texts． One way we can do this is by finding out the theme of the texts．

    The theme of a text is the "big idea" that runs through the text， connecting the characters and events．It is what the writer wants to tell us through the story． Usually the theme of a text isn't told directly， you have to use clues （线索） in the text to find it out． ①Themes can be ideas like family，friendship，love and so on． The theme might not be just one word， but it might be an idea such as "Friendship is important．" There may also be more than one theme in a story． How can we find out the theme of a text？ The following steps may help you．

    Read through the whole text Usually characters change as the story goes on， so the theme you get at the beginning might not be true at the end! For this reason， you need to read through the whole text first．

    Find out the clue After reading the whole text， try to answer the following questions． What important events happened during the story？ What was the problem？ How did the problem get solved？ How did the character（s） change？ What did the character（s） learn？ The answers may help you to get the clues．

    Get the big idea Read again for the writer's purpose of the text by answering the following questions．Was most of the plot（情节） around friendship？ Did the characters solve problems with their families？ Did the main character learn the importance of friendship？ If one of the answers is "yes"， you may get the big idea．

    Check the big idea out If you've found a "big idea"， go through the text to find the evidence（ 证 据 ） that supports this idea in the text． For example， if there was only one small problem with a character's family， then "family" might not be the theme of the text． You might find more evidence for other themes．

    Have you got the way to find out the theme of a text？②Get your favorite book quickly and see if you can find the theme out!
