I still remembered my first day of second grade．I was led to a room．No teacher yet．Girls talking．Boys trying to kill each other．
I took some paper and a pencil，picked a desk，and went to work．Minutes later，a girl came over and sat on top of my desk．
"What're you doing？"she said．
"Writing to 100，"I replied．
"Is that you can do？"
"No，"I said．
Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener．I had no idea that when I stood，the desk would fall over and hurt her leg．
Her name was Jane．From that day on﹣﹣she was my best friend．Wherever we went﹣﹣to school or church or basketball games，Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her．
Many years later，after college，I moved to California and married．Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker．We were friends for more than 50years．After her death seven years ago，I still think of her often，especially at the start of the school year．
TV ads try to tell us what children need for school﹣new shoes，clothes，backpacks．But really，children's needs are simple．Besides the basics﹣to be fed，cared for，and loved﹣they need the gift of friendship．
For years，I feared how people saw me．But one day，I finally understood．I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular．I just needed to be kind．
My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for "Friendship"．Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved．They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one．
40．When she came into the classroom，the writer ．
A．went to talk with Jane quickly
B．helped Jane write the numbers to 100
C．worked quietly at her desk alone
D．was afraid that others would fight with her
41．From the passage we know that ．
A．the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of school
B．the two girls were close friends until Jane died
C．Jane often helped the writer to do some social work
D．the two girls stayed in the same city after college
42．Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because ．
A．he was kind to others
B．he was smart at his schoolwork
C．he was loved by his grandma
D．he joined in the Olympics
43．The best title of this article would be ．
A．My Best Friend Jane
B．How to Choose Friends
C．My First Day at School
D．Friendship Values．

Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet., the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attack attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.What happens to people attacked by sharks?
| A．Most of them because blind. |
| B．Most of them because of deaf. |
| C．Most of them died. |
| D．Most of them are still alive. |
How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?
| A．By biting. | B．By smelling. |
| C．By touching. | D．By killing. |
Which sentence about sharks is true?
| A．Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat. |
| B．Sharks might mistake humans for seals. |
| C．Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat. |
| D．One bite from a shark is nothing serious. |
What would the author write the passage mainly for?
| A．To tell surfers to stay away from sharks. |
| B．To ask people to stop killing sharks. |
| C．To let us know the reasons for shark attacks on people. |
| D．To show that humans are much stronger than sharks. |

Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
