Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county．Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night．I was so tired and exhausted．My whole life was hopeless．Then one day I read the following article from a magazine：
"A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert(沙漠)during the war．She simply hated the place：the heat was almost unbearable，125 degree in the shade，the wind blew incessantly，and there was sand-sand everywhere．Finally，in desperation(不顾一切地)she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home．
Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father-just two lines：
'Two men looked out from prison bars．One saw the mud，and the other saw stars．'
The daughter did some real thinking，not only with the intellect(思维)but also with her heart．She decided to stick to her post．
She made friends with the natives，learned to love the country，and eventually wrote a book about it．
The desert hadn't changed，but her attitude had．Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent，a whole new world opened up to her．"
A change of attitude could change everything．
After reading the article，I was deep in thought(陷入沉思)…
The underlined word"unbearable"means________in Chinese．
After she received her father's reply，the woman________．
From her father's reply，we can infer(推断)that________．

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.
Doctors are starting to worry about young students’ back and neck because their school bags are too heavy for them.
“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my heavy bag,” said Rick Hammond, an ll-year-old student in the USA.
Rick is among students who have school bags with two straps(带子),and many other students choose rolling(有滚轮的) bags.
But even with rolling bags ,getting upstairs is still a problem for children .Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight (重量)。
Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should carry no more than 10% of their weight and older children shouldn’t stay with over 15% , because their bodies are still growing.
Teachers and parents should do some things to help children. And the best answer is to have less homework!From the passage we cam know that .
| A．only children in China carry too heavy school bags. |
| B．children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags. |
| C．both children in China and the USA carry too heavy school bags. |
| D．only children in the USA carry too heavy school bags. |
Children feel it hard for them to go upstairs because .
| A．they are too young. |
| B．their school bags are too heavy. |
| C．they are too heavy. |
| D．their parents don’t always go upstairs with them. |
If a child carries a heavy school bag, .
| A．his back and neck may be hurt. |
| B．his head and arms may be hurt . |
| C．his hands may be hurt . |
| D．his feet may be hurt . |
According to the doctor, Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over .
| A．5 kilos | B．3 kilos | C．5.5 kilos | D．4.5 kilos |
Some students think the best answer to this problem is that .
| A．they should have a little homework to do after they get home |
| B．their teachers had getter not ask them to do any homework |
| C．they should only take home the books they will read that night. |
| D．They should use thin books instead of thick ones. |
In Britain ,people often invite friends for a meal , a party or just coffee. People who know each other very well may visit each other’s houses without an invitation(邀请),but if we invite new friends, usually an invitation is needed. When people invite someone to their homes , they often say ,“Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday ?” Answers are, “Thanks, we’d love to. What time?” or “I’m sorry, We’d love to ,but we have tickets for the concert.” However, it is not polite to say,“No, we wouldn’t.”
Sometimes, the British use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example. “You must come over for a drink sometime .” or “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk . They are not real invitations because they don’t mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are ,“Yes , that would be nice .” or “OK, yes ,thanks.”
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?It’s always necessary for to visit each other’s houses with an invitation.
| A．close friends | B．family members |
| C．neighbours | D．new friends |
It is not polite to answer the real invitation by saying “ “
| A．Sorry. We’d love to, but we have tickets for the concert . |
| B．Thanks. We’d love to, what time? |
| C．Sure. We’d like to. Thanks a lot. |
| D．No, we wouldn’t! |
If the British just want to end a talk politely, they may say,” ”
| A．Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday? |
| B．Let’s go out for a meal one of these days. |
| C．Let’s go out for a meal on Saturday. |
| D．Shall we go for a drink this afternoon . |
The British often use “ ”to answer the invitations that are not real.
| A．Yes , what time ? |
| B．No, that’s not a real invitation. |
| C．OK, yes , thanks. |
| D．No, you just want to be friendly. |

Dear editor（编辑）
I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks(孔雀)here .The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square（广场）
They are given food freely by visitors ,They usually throw food to them ,and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors . I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds ,but don’t realize(意识到)that they may be doing them harm (伤害).The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food .For us every person, it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
