Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget.Among many things,relationships are the hardest to leave behind.Some schools try to stop students'puppy love in different ways.Anything about"love"relationship is not allowed.For example,a middle school in Fu'an,Fujian Province forbids(禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time;a middle school in Luohe,Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates,and if they meet in private they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school,a middle school in Jinan,Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex(异性).It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires"44cm"distance between boys and girls.

Some students are not satisfied with such rules."Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat?It's not using bathrooms!"Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules.For this,I'd like to say that middle school students are going through puberty(青春期).It's normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex.Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow.

52.The first paragraph mainly tells us about  

A.a beautiful memory of school to leave behind.

B.Some strict rules to stop students'puppy love.

C.Some opinions to deal with students'puppy love.

53.In a middle school in Jinan,a boy can't  a girl.

A.sit for meals with   

B.meet in private with    

C.send a gift to

54.We've learned about  rules made by schools as examples in this passage.

A.3

C.9

55.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to this passage?  

A.Not all the students agree with the rules made to stop puppy love.

B.In a middle school in Fu'an,boys and girls can't sit together in class.

C.Those rules can help students go through puberty without any difficulties.

56.The writer thinks

We see humans all around us.But when was the first human seen?Early humans did not leave behind any written records.However,they left behind many paintings on the walls of the caves(洞穴)where they lived.These paintings tell about their life,and we know these early humans walked on four limbs(四肢)like apes(猿).Also,they did not live at one place but moved from place to place in search of food and water.

Without any tools,early humans used stones,bones of animals,and sharp pieces of wood to dig,hunt and cut their food.They also used these to protect themselves from animals.Since stones were used to make tools,this age was called Stone Age.

With time going,tools made of bones and stones were replaced with metal(金属的)ones which were stronger,sharper,and long﹣lasting.Metals were also used for farming and making knives.Copper(铜)was the first metal to be used.

The first fire that early humans noticed was natural fire caused by lightning(闪电).With fire,early humans could light up dark caves.They could keep themselves warm during cold weather and cook meat.Also the fire could drive animals away.

Early humans noticed new trees growing from the seeds(种子)that fell to the ground from the fruits.This gave them the idea that they could make their own food by planting seeds,which led to farming.With the beginning of farming,early humans began to settle down(定居).They moved out of the caves and lived on farms and near their fields together,then the first villages came up.

Raising animals was a big event in human history that changed the life of early humans.The wild dogs were probably the first animal to be raised.As time went,goats,sheep,cows,donkeys,and horses were kept,too.This led to herding(畜牧业).Milk,meat and wool came from these animals.

    China has ended its long﹣lasted one﹣child policy,all Chinese couples now are allowed to have two children,which means that many Chinese children,including you,may have siblings (兄弟姐妹) in the future.

    Like many only children in China,Pan is happy and confident,except when she feels lonely every now and then."It's not fun,especially when I travel with my parents.How I wish I could have a brother or a sister,"she said.Now it could be time for Pan to realize her dream.But what would it be like growing up with a sibling?

    Having a sibling can prevent children from bad feelings such as loneliness and fear,according to Laura Walker from Brigham Young University,US."Siblings give kids something that parents can't,"she said.

    You may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with.You can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other.

    But children with siblings also have to control their feelings and learn to compromise,said Laura.You need to share things with your siblings,including attention from parents,toys,the bathroom and even the TV.There is also unpleasant competition which you have to deal with.

    It's also said that the birth order decides how parents treat their children.Parents are usually very nervous and strict with their first child.So firstborns (including only children) have more sense of responsibility because parents set high goals for them.When the couple has a second child,they are more relaxed,less strict and have fewer rules.So late﹣born kids are usually funny and creative.

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette (长棍面包) is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower," said Dominigue Anract,president of the Confederation of French Bakers.

    So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.

    UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list,it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.

    The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things:water,wheat flour,yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented (发酵) for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.

    Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However,as supermarkets continue to take over,tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette," Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."

   There were three big fish in the lake.One of them,Demo,was wise;another one,Jimmy,was half﹣wise;Martin,the third one,was stupid.

    Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets.The three fish saw them.
