“Who did this?”asked Miss Green.

There were 30 children in the classroom and all were trying to think about not only what they did, but also what our teacher already knew.

 “Who broke this window?”  

 “Uh, Oh.”I thought. I was the one who broke the window with a football. I did not mean to do it. I would be in a lot of trouble. How could I pay for a big window like that? I didn't want to put up my hand. But I had to tell the truth. So, I put up my hand and told the teacher I broke the window.

Miss Green went to the bookshelf and took down a book.

“I know how you like birds, Peter.”She said .“Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now. I will not punish you this time. But Peter, you should remember that I am rewarding (奖赏)you for your honesty(诚实), not for breaking the window.”

I couldn't believe it! The teacher didn't punish me and I was getting my very favorite book. Now, I still use that book, and it always reminds me of (使我想起)the lesson my teacher taught me.

Honesty is always best.

1.Who broke the window?

2.How many children were in the classroom?

3.Where did Miss Green take down the book?  

4.What was the book about?

5.What can we learn from the story?

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.

Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”

People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!

1.______ is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition.

A. A rabbit’s foot

B. A falling leaf

C. A cheerful wish from friends

D. A shooting star

2.From Paragraph 3, we know that ______.

A. shooting stars can often be seen

B. people can see a shooting star on a rainy night

C. your wish may come true if you see a shooting star

D. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star

3.British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.

A. the leaves fall in autumn

B. there are so many leaves to catch

C. the leaves can bring them a lucky month

D. they want to have a whole year of good luck

4.In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to(指)______.

A. trees            B. people               C. leaves               D. years

5.The passage is mainly about ______.

A. how to wish upon a star

B. things that bring good luck 

C. British people love leaves

D. which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest

If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?

Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better?

The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions(说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.

The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.

So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.

1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.

2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.

3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.

4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain(某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

1.What should be read rapidly?

A.Directions for making something.

B.Maths problems.

C.Science and history books.

D.Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.

2.What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading?

A.To read as fast as you can.

B.To fit your reading speed to your needs.

C.To read as slowly as possible.

D.To keep your reading at a certain speed.

3.Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?

A.Something about Careful Reading

B.Be a Rapid Reader.

C.How to Read?

D.How to Be a Slow Reader?
