    Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has come up with the “Nubrella”, which means “new” + “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.
    “I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and had a new idea,” said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the nubrella was born.
    One cool feature of the nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a normal umbrella; you wear it. The shoulder straps (肩带) of the nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the nubrella will never be inverted (颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.

    小题1:   “Nubrella” is a kind of _____ umbrella.
    A．normalB．hands-free
    C．traditionalD．paper
    小题2: --- How can you use the “Nubrella”?
    --- You can _____.
    A．wear the shoulder straps of the nubrella
    B．put the nubrella on your head
    C．use your hands to hold it up
    D．carry it on your bike
    小题3:Which of the following is not right?
    A．"Nubrella" means "new" + "umbrella"．
    B．The idea of the nubrella came from the rainy day．
    C．Walking in the rain, you'd better take the nubrella．
    D．If you go out with the nubrella, you have it in your hands.

    小题1:B
    小题2:A
    小题3:D

    Most kids hate doing housework. However, not all hope is lost. There are some things that you can do to get your kids to help you clean your house. If you are struggling with the chores (家务)and need your kids to help you, take a look at some of the creative ways in this article.
    If you are dealing with older kids, you may want to try the allowance deal. You can give your kids a list of chores that need to be done each week. If they complete these chores, you can give them some money. You can also break the list down and tell them they will get so much for each chore that is finished. Older kids , who like to do things on weekends or buy things like video games, will work hard to complete their chores and earn their money. This is also teaching them responsibility.

    If you are dealing with younger kids, you may want to go with the rewards chart(奖励图表）. This is where you design a chart and list their chores on the chart. For each chore they complete, you can put a red flower beside it. For the rewards, you canalso do a number of things ,such as going to the park, going out to eat, buying a DVD or something similar. The rewards would be up to you because you know what your kids like.
    For real small kids, you can turn it into a game. When kids were much younger, you can teach them to dance around and sing as you cleaned. The kids loved it and would do a wonderful job at picking up their toys. So, consider turning cleaning into a game for the real small kids.

      It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.
    He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.
    The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed ( 发嘶嘶声) and crawled (爬, 爬行).
    He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.
    The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days!”
    His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
    Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (绊脚) on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain（徒劳）: “ Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
    小题1: Why does the author set his story on New Year’s Night?
    A．He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the past
    B．He suggests the aged man will have a bright future
    C．He attempts to stress（强调）the man’s sad feeling
    D．He expects people to share the man’s sad feeling
    小题2: The aged man in the passage on New Year’s Night can be described as ____.
    A．sorrowful, fearful and regretful
    B．hopeful, sorrowful and peaceful
    C．regretful, painful and disappointed
    D．disappointed, regretful and hopeful
    小题3: The author writes the passage mainly to ____.
    A．encourage young people to take the right road
    B．help the old man to pick up his confidence
    C．describe the old man’s unsuccessful experience
    D．show his sympathy for the old man

    Over 30% of the natural world has been seriously destroyed by humans (人类) over the last 30 years. This is because the number of people living on Earth is nearly six billion (十亿). All of these people need food, space and energy. As a result, lots of Earth’s natural resources will be used up. When we destroy our earth to get natural resources such as wood or oil, animals often lose their living space. They cannot have enough food, and they will get hurt or die.
    The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international charity. It tries to prevent humans from destroying more of nature than is necessary. For example, in China WWF is working with the local government to reconnect (重新连接) some small lakes in Anhui Province to the Yangtze River and to create(创造) more protected areas so that China’s natural beauty will not be lost in the future. WWF works in more than 50 countries, saving rainforests and stopping hunters from killing rare animals and protecting traditional ways of life in areas where they are in danger of being lost. WWF’s main goal is to encourage development that does not harm the environment and the animals that live in it. Even though the charity is known all over the world, and a lot of people support the goals of WWF, not so many donate money often. This makes it difficult for the charity to do all the things it wants to do.
    小题1:Why has over 30% of the natural world been destroyed?
    A．Because hunters are killing rare animals.
    B．Because not enough people help WWF.
    C．Because WWF does not have enough money.
    D．Because there are so many people living on Earth.
    小题2: How has WWF helped in China?
    A．They have protected traditional ways of life.
    B．They have helped to protect China’s natural beauty.
    C．They have saved many rainforests in Anhui Province.
    D．They have built some bridges over the Yangtze River.
    小题3:What is WWF’s main goal?
    A．To save rainforests.
    B．To stop hunters killing rare animals.
    C．To get more people to donate money.
    D．To protect the environment while developing.
    小题4:Why is it difficult for WWF to do all the things they want to?
    A．Because too many people do not know WWF.
    B．Because WWF doesn’t have enough money from donations
    C．Because there are too many problems for them to solve.
    D．Because WWF doesn’t encourage development.

    Children today would rather read, do housework or even do homework than play outside--- and they get out half as much as their parents did when they were young.
    According to a UK study, those growing up during the 1970s and 1980s enjoying more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday, and nine hours on weekends—whatever the weather is. But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday, and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
    So, the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors.

    Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
    　　The bed is connected to an alarm clock(闹钟). First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispered in a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!”
    If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical(机械的) “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide(滑落) off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!

     School education(教育) is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
    It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.
    Great scientists didn’t get everything from school. For example, Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things . The reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.
    小题1:  According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _______.
    A．to teach his students everything he knows
    B．to teach the students how to think
    C．to know everything they want to know
    D．to teach the students how to work out a math problem
    小题2: To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.
    A．a certain formulaB．a certain fact
    C．some factsD．the way to solve it
    小题3: Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Great scientists read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading.
    B．Great scientists did thousands of experiments.
    C．Great scientists always worked hard and never wasted time.
    D．Great scientists got everything from school.
    小题4: The passage is written mainly to tell us         .
    A．how to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）
    B．who the great scientists are
    C．How to study
    D．why Edison didn’t finish primary school
