Every living thing needs to reproduce.Reproducing means creating more members of your group.In order for plants to reproduce，they have to spread their seeds （种子） to other areas.Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.
The simplest way is gravity.Many seeds are inside of fruit.When a piece of fruit gets too heavy，it falls from a tree to the ground.Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area.That helps move the seed even farther away.Apples spread this way.
Other plants use wind to spread their seeds.Dandelions are a good example of this.Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows，it carries dandelion seeds to new places.Maple （枫树） seeds also use wind.Their seeds are connected with long，thin leaves that look like wings.When the seed falls from the tree，its "wings" help it fly farther from the tree.
Some animals help plants spread their seeds.The animals eat the seeds.While the seed is in the animal's body，it stays whole.when the seed leaves the animal，it's in a new place.
Ants also help spread seeds.Some seeds have a special smell that attracts ants.The ants bring the seeds back to their home，which of course is underground.They only eat part of the seed.They leave the rest of the seed underground.After that，the seed can start growing.
（1）What does the word "gravity" mean in the second paragraph？
A.The action that makes animals drop seeds.

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
Ever since I was a little girl， I've loved reading crime and detective （侦探） novels， so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older． However， my family is very big on having a traditional career （职业） and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing， my parents told me that I couldn't． They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career， and not something as risky as writing． I suppose I could have studied journalism （新闻） ，but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work， not for pleasure． I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise （妥协 ） ， especially because of the long holidays． It was a good choice： by the time I was twenty﹣five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent．
To be honest， I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything， and my friends have always known． One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance （浪漫） novelist for older women． She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought， "Well， if you think it'll make me successful， okay，" I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel． I asked her some questions about it， and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it ﹣ she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course， sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies， but I think my parents probably did me a favor： my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world．
（1）Hazel is probably ．
A． an agent
B． a journalist
C． a teacher and artist
D． a teacher and writer
（2）The underlined words "is very big on " in the passage most probably mean ．
A． to give no advice
B． to like something very much
C． to have more experiences
D． to misunderstand something
（3）It's clear that Hazel ．
A． agreed to study journalism for a degree
B． accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name
C． would like to write something for teaching
D． told her workmates about her writing novels
（4）Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was ．
A． helpful
B． exciting
C． disappointing
D． risky
（5）We can infer from the passage that ．
A． Hazel likes showing off in public
B． Hazel's students all want to write novels
C． Hazel's agent has played a role in her success
D． older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

Bangladesh（孟加拉） is an agricultural country between India and Burma． Storms from the Indian Ocean sweep across the country every year， and large areas of farming land are flooded（冲毁）． The people are very poor．
Fewer than half of the country's children complete their primary education． When they are six or seven years old， many children leave school to work in the fields or at home． The rest of their "education" consists of looking after cattle， collecting firewood or doing household jobs．
Not long ago， an experimental school was opened near the capital， Dacca， to help poor children． There are only 120 children in the school， which has three classrooms． In each class， forty pupils are divided into four groups of ten． Each pupil is free to decide which group he or she wants to join．
The most able pupils do a great deal of the teaching． They act as group monitors． Their duty is to ensure that all pupils in their group understand and practice what the teacher has taught．
There are a number of unusual features in the Bangladesh school． Children do not move up a class automatically when they grow older． Each group is promoted （升级）only when EVERY pupil in it has succeeded in getting to the right standard． As a result， all members of a group work hard to help the less able pupils． Nobody is left behind．
Lessons are extremely practical and include work on farming， carpentry， health and running a home﹣as well as lessons on the basic skills of reading， writing and arithmetic． At school， pupils prepare for adult life by learning to carry out almost all the tasks which they will face when they grow older．
If pupils have to look after cattle or young children， they are allowed to bring them to school． If a child has to stay at home to help his parents， there is no scolding or punishment （责罚） at school． Children enjoy their lessons and the school is cheap to run． It is so successful that other schools in Bangladesh are beginning to imitate（模仿） its methods．
Visitors are even coming from other agricultural countries to see if they can use a similar method．
（1）Many people in Bangladesh work on farms．
（2）Most children in Bangladesh complete their primary education．
（3）In each group， the biggest or oldest pupil is made a monitor．
（4）At the end of each school year， all the pupils move to a higher class．
（5）At school， pupils learn to do almost all the tasks needed in adult life．

Dogs are very sociable（合群的） animals．When owners go out and leave their dogs alone，the dogs get worried and upset．Dogs should be trained to be their own while still young instead of when they are older and set in their ways．When owners are not around，they should provide some toys for their dogs to play with．Leaving the radio or television turned on might also provide relaxing background noise．
Howling（嚎叫） is a form of communication．Dogs do it to tell one another where they are．Some dogs howl when they are lonely，while others do it when greeting strangers whom they are seeing for the first time．Some even howl to music and do this because it is fun．
When it comes to training dogs，giving rewards（奖赏） is a far better way than using punishment．Food makes an excellent reward，and if they do not respond（反应） to this，owners should try touching．Dogs like being touched by owners very much．Words of praise work well too，but not as well as food or touch．It helps if owners spend more time with their dogs．

Many kids help their parents with chores， such as doing the dishes， cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish． And some kids get money or other rewards（奖赏） such as more computer time by doing chores．
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores． Susie Walton．an expert， believes that by rewarding kids， parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something． "Running any kind of family is a team work，" Walton says． "A home is a living place for everyone in the family． It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house．"
Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money． There are also now apps（应用软件）． With the Chore﹣Monster app， kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores． Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world． "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards，" one man says．
What do you think？ Should kids get rewards for doing chores？ Or should kids help do chores without getting anything？
