Sam really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity.
Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he ate a lot of food. As a result, he put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near Sam when Sam read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked. Everyone was pleased that Sam thought that was true, but there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up(编造).
At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Sam told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings, Cindy had second thoughts.

How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here’s a good example.
Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.
The Meek couple didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities.
Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks’ would go out to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we’ve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.
So we should do more outdoor exercise to keep healthy in our spare time.What are Tim and Kerry Meek’s jobs?

DNA is the whole "map" of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In I860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called "genes"(基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞)to build its parts, the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one "word" means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs. The two scientists found ______in 1961.
| A．all the words in the DNA map |
| B．small things called "genes" in our body |
| C．the first "word" they could understand in that language |
| D．those small parts arc written in the DNA with a special language |
How can we help sick people if we understand more "words" in the DNA map?
| A．Make better medicine. |
| B．Make them get jobs. |
| C．Make maps for them. |
| D．Make them attractive. |
Which one is NOT TRUE according to the article?
| A．We look like our parents because of "genes" in our body. |
| B．We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do. |
| C．DNA is the whole "map" of the human body. |
| D．DNA tells the cell to build its parts. |
What do people think about this research about DNA?
| A．It can be only bad. |
| B．It can be only good. |
| C．It can be good but won't work. |
| D．It can be good and bad |
The message was short. I read it three times: “Hey, Mom, can I come to see you?” I wrote back: “Yes!” He said he hoped to make it in time for dinner.
I made a quick run to the market, put sheets on the guest bed and set the TV to record the Warriors’ game, so if traffic was awful, he wouldn’t have to miss the first half. Then I began cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk.
It’s called waiting. I’m good at it. When he was a newborn, I’d wait for him to go to sleep. Soon then I’d stand by his bed waiting for him to wake up. I waited, as he learned to do things like walking, talking and feeding himself; throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book.
I waited for him to start preschool, primary school, middle school and college.
I waited with dread for him to start driving. And I waited up every time he came home late.
I wait for my son to grow up, but that doesn’t mean the waiting game is over. It never really ends.
Mothers wait for all kinds of reasons—good news or bad, happiness or heartache. But the waiting is soon forgotten, usually, the minute a long awaited child walks through the door.
My boy will be here soon. But if he’s late, I can wait. I’m good at it. And he’s worth(值得) it. I will always leave a light on for him.
After knowing her son would come home, which of the following activities did she do?
a. Shopping. b. Cooking.
c. Cleaning. d. Watching the Warriors’ game.
| A．bc | B．ad | C．abc | D．bcd |
What does the underlined word “dread” mean?
| A．激动 | B．骄傲 | C．厌恶 | D．害怕 |
Which of the following about the writer is TRUE according to the article?
| A．Luckily, her son never makes her wait long. |
| B．She has experienced all kinds of feelings while waiting for her son to do things. |
| C．When her son went to college, her waiting ended. |
| D．Waiting for her son is often boring, but once her son arrives she forgets about it. |
Which do you think would be the best title for the reading?
| A．Worth waiting for |
| B．Being patient is difficult |
| C．Learn to be a mother |
| D．Visit your mother often |
