    6．It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching a new school．I love my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past．They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching．
         Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift．In fact，I wasn't expecting any gifts．
         Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break．First，I got a much-loved stuffed monkey from a shy girl．I was told，"He is my favorite，but I love you and I want him to be with you，Miss Taylor"How thrilled I was!
         Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was"missing"from a mother's cupboard．
         Finally，I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received．It was an old，dirty and broken Christmas story book．Just then I wanted to express my happiness，I was interrupted（打断）by the giver，"And see，it is new!It still has the price tag．""
         When other children laughed at him，I stopped them and said，"Oh，books are good in that way．The story is always new if you have not read it before．Now，Let's share one together．"Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life．
    I still keep those Christmas gifts，They always remind me of my lovely kids．
    71．Why did the teacher like her small special class？
    Because they were hungry for knowledge．
    72．When did the children bring their teacher gifts？
    On the day before our holiday break．
    73．Who sent a stuffed monkey to the teacher？
    Ashy girl．
    74．Was the Christmas story，book new？
    No，it wasn't．
    75．How did the teacher feel when she got the presents？
    Thrilled．

    分析 文章大意：
    相比于之前的班级，我更喜欢现在的学生，因为他们渴望获得知识．
    班级里的孩子们都来自贫穷的家庭，也并不奢望有人会送给他们圣诞礼物．
    但是，在我们放假前夕，每个学生给了我一份礼物，这让我既惊讶，又兴奋．

    16．During the Second World War，John's family didn't have a washing machine．Therefore，（63）keeping/to keep （keep） clothes clean became a problem for them．
    Before long，a family friend decided（64）to join （join） the army and his wife was going with him．John's family told them that they could take care of their furniture while they were away．To the （65）family's  （family） surprise，the friend suggested they should use his Bendix washing machine．"It would be better for it to（66）be used  （use），rather than sitting （67）quietly （quiet），"he said．
    Young John helped with the washing，and he developed a deep love of the old，green Bendix．（68）Later （Late），the war ended and the family's friend returned．When he came to take the machine away，John became very sad．His mother saw this and said to（69）him （he），"Son，you must remember that machine didn't belong to us in the（70）first （one） place．It was a gift for us to be able to use it for such a long time．So，instead of （71）being （be） sad about the loss，let's be grateful that we（72）were （be） able to use it at that time．"
    We have all experienced loss：loss of people and things．However，if we see the thing we（ 73）have lost （lose） as a gift that we were given for a time，maybe the sad（74）memories （memory） will change into thankful ones．

    When lots of sea water gets hot in the sun，it evaporates（蒸发）into the air．This makes the air hotter，too．Once the air gets warmer，it starts to move very quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps rising in the sky．（67）BAnd when the wind moves faster than 30minutes a second，a typhoon begins．
    A typhoon has two parts．One is called the"eye"．This is right in the middle of a typhoon and is calm（平静的）．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．（68）A This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are found．
    Typhoons bring water to people．（69）E They blow away houses and cars and even kill people．
    How to stay safe when a typhoon hits？
    •If you have to get out，take a train．It's safer than taking planes and cars．
    •Close the windows and stay away from them．
    •Stay as far away as possible from building sites．
    •（70）C
    •Before the typhoon arrives，try to bring all of your things inside，such as plants and your bikes．

    11．The crab is a living clock．It tells the time of the day by the colour of its skin，which is dark by day and pale by night．The crab's changing skin colour is a regular twenty-four hour cycle（周期）that follows the daily rhythm（循环）of the sun．
        Does the crab really keep time，or is its skin simply affected by the sun's rays（光线），changing colour with the amount of the sunlight？To find out the answer，scientists kept some crabs in a dark room for two months．Even without daylight the crabs'skin colour continued to change．
        The change probably had something with the rhythm of the sun，to help protect the crab from the sunlight and enemies．After millions of years it has become completely regular inside the living body of the crab．
        Scientists noticed that once each day the colour of the crab is especially dark，and that each day this appears about fifty minutes later than the day before．From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides（潮汐）．The crab's darkest period（一段时间）is the time of low tide on the beach where it is caught．
    33．The crab's changing colourB．
    A．tells the crab what time it is               
    B．protects the crab from the sunlight
    C．keeps the crab warm                     
    D．gives the crab a lot of energy
    34．Scientists studied crabs in order to find outC．
    A．why they change colour                   
    B．how to use them as clocks
    C．whether they change colour                
    D．where they can be caught
    35．When the crabs were kept in the dark，D．
    A．they didn't change colour                   
    B．they changed colour more quickly
    C．they changed colour more slowly             
    D．they changed colour as usual
    36．The crab is like a clock because its colour changesA．
    A．in a regular 24-hour rhythm           
    B．at low tide
    C．with the sun's rays                   
    D．every fifty minutes．
