“Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin,28,a writer in Beijing.

A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping .Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products（产品）are the most popular on line.
It was reported that more than 250 billion（十亿）yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.
Taobao means “looking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books ,from candies to DVD players .
You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient. Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money .You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”
Taobao is ____________.

Which is the best title（标题）of the passage?

           
What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love :12+15+22+5="54," and luck : 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and become friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important things in a person’s life?

According to the passage, what’s the mark of the word “succeed”?

What does the underlined word “positive” mean in the text?

People like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind for them. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is beautiful. We can use “Thank you” not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence we often use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk pass you without touching you.  When others are talking, if you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.
Let’s learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.
You should say “Thank you” when__________.

When you are going to ask someone to tell you the way, you should say “_______”.

The passage mainly tells us the way____________.

Every day she gets up at around 4 o’clock in the morning. When I sometimes call her at 7:30 in the evening, she tells me that she is still in the field and doesn’t have supper. I tell her I’ll study hard in the school. I also ask her to take care of herself and dad because I can’t live without them.
Mum says that the happiest time for dad and her is when my sister and I come back home.
We play cards in the room, watch TV, or do anything we like, with dad and mum making delicious food in the kitchen. It is also the happiest time for me.
Love, sometimes, doesn’t need many words. Love your parents like they love you. Give them a call, tell them you miss them.
Why can’t the writer live without their parents?

The happiest time for the writer’s mum and dad is____________.

Which of the following is the best title?

   Many people are so busy these days that they have no time to cook at home. This becomes a problem because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and a family meal can bring everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only chance everyone gets to see each other at the same time during the day.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child’s sweet tooth. He or she is sending a message (信息). The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.” There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of cooking makes people happy. It makes most of us feel good and loved--even if we’re the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情，心境).
Why do many people have no time to cook?

Home cooking is __________.

The writer thinks the smell of home cooking _____________.

What’s the main idea of the passage?

Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them can protect (保护) them.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch them. Why? It’s because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of the crops (庄稼).
When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获) time comes, locusts change to the same color as crops have.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. Hunters can’t find them easily. This is because ①they have the colors much like the trees.
A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of black liquid (液体) when it ②faces danger. While the liquid spread (扩散) over, it can’t be found (被发现). And it immediately swims away. ③It is not strong at all, but it can live up to now.
