The little Prince（王子）
French Writer：Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Both adults and children love this classic book．It is about the adventure of a young prince．It shows the importance of innocence （纯真），imagination and love．
The little prince comes from planet B-612．In his eyes，adults are all very strange．Unlike them，he sees the essence （本质） of things．He cares more about a flower and a sheep than the"important"things of the adult world．
     The prince lives on his planet with a rose．He loves the rose very much．But he soon feels tired and leaves his planet．He meets many more strange adults on other planets．
On Earth，he discovers interesting things such as a snake，other roses and a fox．The fox tells him a secret：Only the heart can discover the most important things．This helps the prince realize his love for the rose and he goes back to his planet．
To Succeed on One's Own
American Writer：Liu Yong
Writer Liu Yong from Taiwan wrote this book for his daughter．It can help young people succeed．

14．Last week，Chicago became the first city in the US to join the"Lights Out Plan"．People turned off the lights in the city's tallest buildings，so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes．Every year in autumn，some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south，and come back the next spring．
Lights mean danger to birds．Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky．Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars．This means they can not find the right way to go home．
This month，about 300types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter．Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons．Many birds cannot live in the cold，so they fly to warmer places．But there are other reasons，too．Birds need to look for food in the south．Another reason is that they want to have baby birds．Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same"house"they lived in last year，so they fly back there．
There are about 9，000kinds of birds in the world，and about 600kinds of birds migrate（迁徙）．Some birds can fly a very long way．Sometimes they fly to other countries．We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds．

64．Why did people in Chicago turn off their last week？D
A．Because people wanted to save money．
B．Because people liked the dark night．
C．Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise．
D．Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way．
65．What does the underlined word"migrate"mean in Chinese？A
A．迁徙
B．定居
C．冬眠
D．重生
66．Today we have fewer birds becauseC．
A．lots of birds are often ill
B．people kill lots of birds
C．there are fewer places for birds
D．other animals eat them
67．Which of the following statements is NOT true？A

11．Are you happy most of the time？Or do you easily get angry sometimes？Everyone has a different temperament（脾气）．It is usually believed that both genes（基因） and environment may influence people's temperament in different ways．Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role．
Scientists from Budapest，Hungary，studied 400 university students．In the study，the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had．From the questions，scientists found that the students always answered something like"My mood（情绪） often changes for no reason．"and"I love to deal with new projects，even if it is risky．"These answers were then connected with their birthdays．
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter．Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer．
The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry，while those in winter were not easier to be angry．
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body．And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life．"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders．"scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph．

10．In life，everyone once struggles for a dream，whether it's successful or not．I still clearly remember one day when I was in high school，I saw on a website that China's Got Talent's mass-election （海选）for the best singers was going on．I was very excited and decided to go and try out．But it wasn't as easy as I had thought．When I got there，I saw at least 100 people already waiting in line．My hands started to sweat and shake as my turn got close．I got up and started singing，but I sang so badly that I stopped before I even finished the song．Afterwards I quickly said goodbye to my friends and walked home crying．I thought that I would never be able to show my face in public again．
However，after about a year，that terrible experience became a funny memory．I realized that I didn't need to care about losing that dream，because I made a new and more realistic one．I'm good at English，as well as other subjects．I made it my goal to get accepted into Columbia University．Columbia is hard to get into，and about 1，300 students from all over the world are accepted every year．Though it is hard to get into，I think my dream will come true someday by working hard!
