One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it.The farmer _      seed (做种子的) corn to his neighbors.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors？” the reporter asked.“You know they are taking part in the _      with you each year.”

Many students have already had clear ideas about what jobs they would like to have in the future. We believe boys’ choices are different from girls’. To find out how different their choices are, we made a survey in Green High School. The following diagram shows the results of the survey.

About 45% of the girls would like to be ________ in the future.

About ________ of the boys want to be teachers as well.

Which job do the girls like least?

What does the diagram show us?

Which of the following statements is RIGHT?

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter.  The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign签字 this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with对---满意 a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6^th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
Why did Ted come home with .a letter last Friday ?

If a student in the USA gets "OK" in his school work, it means       .

American parents will be       when their children get a B-grade in their school.

The underlined words "high expectations" in this passage means       .

The writer mainly wants to tell us       .

“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains大脑 and then our brains interpret（解读） the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “Visual illusion（视觉错误）.
Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.

That’s because        .
A. something is wrong with our eyes
