Papaji, my grandfather, was a thin but strong farmer. He always stood straight and looked serious. But my sisters and I looked forward to seeing Papaji and visiting his farm.

When we got to the farm, it was the end of a school year and summer started. On the farm, we could do what we liked. We could play with the animals all day. When we were hungry, we went back to Bibiji, our grandmother. She cooked over a wood fire in the kitchen. We blew on the wood to make the fire rage, hoping it would help the food cook faster. Sometimes we played hide-and-seek in the storeroom, or ran through the field like horses.

But the summer I turned nine was different. One morning I heard clickety-clack, clickety-clack, ping. I searched carefully for the sound: Papaji in his study, typing a letter. I tried to see it better, but fell through the door. I stood up, looked at the floor, red in the face, hoping his words would be short. Papaji's eyes glinted（闪光）and didn't say anything. Then the rest of the summer I heard the sounds of typewriter（打字机）, dreaming of touching the beautiful yellow keys.

After going home, I spent the year thinking of ways to let me use the typewriter when I got

back to his house. But the next summer, I still stood beside him as he typed, hoping he would let me try it.

On going back home that year, I got a box from the post office. When I opened it, it was the typewriter! Papaji let me use it at last. My serious grandfather wasn't a cold-hearted man after all

C.Go horse riding. D.Run in the field.

4.What's the best title of the passage?

A.Papaji's farm B.Papaji and Bibiji C.Papaji's typewriter D.Summer with Papaji

Do you know about bio-plastic（生物塑料）？It is a kind of plastic. but it is not the same as normal plastic. Normal plastic is made from chemical materials and takes a very long time to degrade（降解）. But bio-plastic is good for the environment. it is made by using bacteria（细菌） to process（加工）natural sources like vegetable oils, corn or sugar. It can degrade more easily.

But there is a problem with bio-plastic. The "food" that bacteria eat is what we eat. This means that bacteria are competing against humans for the same resources.

Now scientists have found a new way to make bio-plastic－using two kinds of bacteria and sunlight. According to Newsweek.

One of the bacteria can use sunlight to produce sugar. The other land eats the sugar and produces polymers(聚合物）. Polymers are used to create bio-plastics. The way the bacteria store polymers is similar as humans store fats.

The new way to produce bio-plastic has many advantages. It is 20 times faster than the normal way we produce bio-plastic. Moreover, using these two bacteria saves resources.

The next problem scientists face is that they want to put their tab research into real-world practice. By doing this, bio-plastic made with these two bacteria can be widely produced in the future.

1.According to the passage, which is TRUE about bio-plastic?

A.It is bad for the environment.

B.It's made from chemical materials.

C.It is a new kind of bacteria.

D.It can degrade more easily.

2.What does the phrase "The food" underlined refer to?

A.Normal plastic. B.Normal bacteria. C.Salty waters. D.Natural sources.

3.From the passage, which is the correct order to make bio-plastic?

a. eating the sugar

b. creating bio-plastics

c. producing polymers

d. using sunlight to produce sugar

A.a-d-c-b B.a-d-b-c C.d-a-c-b D.d-c-a-b

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A.A new kind of plastic. B.A new way to produce bio-plastic.

C.A way to store fats D.A way to produce two kinds of bacteria.

A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning（食物中毒）, fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than any other things. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.

When we're on our way home or to school . Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We'd better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don't believe the people we don't know in the street.

When we're in the school activity . When students around us begin to push each other, it's necessary for us to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use our hands to cover the head. Lean to one side, curl up（蜷缩）our body and bend（使弯曲）the legs.

When we meet a fire. Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly with the help of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so we should use a piece of wet cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground.

Then roll! It will make the fire go out.

When we eat . Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates（保质期）on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don't eat it.
