    One warm day when I was walking in my backyard, I saw a pinecone(松球) on the ground. I picked it up, and some seeds fell out of it. Those seeds would be a tasty treat for a squirrel (松鼠).
    I realized that pinecones were not always open like this one. Sometimes cones were tightly closed. I decided to find out why.
    I gathered pinecones from my backyard. I watched them for over a year. Here’s what I learned.
    Pinecones open and close slowly as the weather changes. When it’s cold or wet, cones are tightly closed. This protects the seeds inside from rain and snow.
    When the weather becomes warm and dry, pinecones open. On a hot day, you might even hear the sound of cones popping open. The seeds inside may then fall to the ground. The wind may blow the seeds to places where they can grow into new pine trees. A seed has a better chance of taking root and growing when the weather is warm.
    “Pine seeds are an important source of food for many animals,” says Monty Maldonado. He is a pinecone expert with the United States Forest Service. He says squirrels depend on pinecone seeds for most of their meals. They spend lots of time gathering and storing the cones. Maldonado says some animals eat only the seeds from a pinecone. But red squirrels and gray squirrels will eat the whole thing.
    Small animals aren’t the only creatures that eat pine seeds. Maldonado says big grizzly bears (灰熊) and people eat them, too.
    Seeds inside a pinecone are important for the growth of new trees and as food for animals. It is the pinecone’s job to protect them. So take note of the pinecones you see on the ground. They hold treasures inside.
    45．According to the passage, when it is rainy, cones          .
    A．are open   B．are usually shut       C．grow quickly    D．stop growing
    46．According to Monty Maldonado,        .
    A．not all squirrels eat the whole pinecone        
    B．pine seeds are difficult to find for many animals
    C．people in the forest are sometimes attacked by grizzly bears
    D．most small animals depend on pinecone seeds for their meals
    47．We can learn from the passage that on sunny days         .
    A．seeds may fall out of the cones      
    B．squirrels stay still in their nests      
    C．it’s difficult for a seed to take root
    D．the wind will put the pine trees in danger
    48．In the last paragraph, the author points out that         .
    A．more and more new trees need to be planted in future 
    B．people should be responsible for protecting animals
    C．people should be careful not to damage the pinecones  
    D．squirrels now have few seeds to feed themselves
    49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The author learned why pinecones are not always open in the forest.  
    B．The author gathered pinecones and observed them for a month.  
    C．The author is fond of gathering and storing the cones. 
    D．Pine trees are precious to animals and people.

    Don’t be surprised when strangers talk to you in Canada! You will find that many Canadians will smile at you as they pass in the street, or say something to you like “Hi!” or “How’s it going?” Just reply with something similar. In the UK the reply would be “I’m fine”, but in Canada they say “I’m good”.
    In company, when someone is offering you a second helping of food or more wine, if you don’t want any more, use the same expression— “I’m good”. In this case, it means “No, thank you. I’ve had enough”. Most Canadians don't press you to eat more than you want.
    In restaurant, your plate will be cleared away almost immediately you have finished eating. When you go into a shop or store, the shop assistant asks you how you are or if they can help you, it is their way of being friendly and making conversation with the customers.
    Canadians eat early and go home early. When you are invited to a Canadian’s home, you may be asked to arrive at 5:30 pm or 6 pm. But guests in Europe don’t expect to arrive until 7:30 pm or 8 pm. Remember to take off your shoes and leave them inside the door without being asked. It’s not a religious custom, but it’s practical. In winter, there can be a lot of snow and dirt on your shoes, once you are in the warm house it melts and falls off, making a mess. Canadians tend to have light colored carpets or hardwood floors.
    If you’re invited for dinner, it will be a full sit- down meal. Meat is usually barbecued in the freezing cold of winter. Do take something with you, like a bottle of wine. Arrive on time and don’t stay over 10 pm.
    1. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A.
    		“I’m good” can mean you do not need more food in Canada.
    B.
    		In Canada, you will meet strangers in the street saying “Hi” to you.
    C.
    		In a Canadian restaurant, the plates will stay at the table until you leave.
    D.
    		Canadians usually say “I’m good” to answer the greeting of “How’s it going?”
    2. If you are invited for dinner in your Canadian friend’s home, ________.
    A.
    		you will have a full sit-down meal
    B.
    		you don’t have to bring any gift for the host
    C.
    		you are expected to arrive at 7:30 or 8 pm
    D.
    		you don’t have to take off your shoes when you enter the room
    3. When a Canadian shop assistant says “How are you?” to you, it suggests that _______.
    A.
    		they hope to make friends with you
    B.
    		they want to ask you for help
    C.
    		they are very friendly to customers
    D.
    		they are your good friends
    4. What can we learn from the passage?
    A.
    		Canadians like dark colored carpets.
    B.
    		In Canada, meat will not be barbecued even in the cold winter.
    C.
    		You will always be asked to eat more food than you want in Canada.
    D.
    		It is usually rude to stay over 10 pm in your Canadian friend’s home.
    5.What would be the best title for this passage?
    A.
    		Some customs in Canada
    B.
    		Dinner party rules in Canada
    C.
    		Studying in Canada
    D.
    		Doing business in Canada

    Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised," Barbara, be enthusiastic (热情的) ! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. "How right they were!
    "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It isthe paste that helps you hang on there, then the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" When others shout, "No, you can't!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted, yet she didn't stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
    We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, Cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. An author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote," Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. "
    Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, 'I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.' "
    If we can't do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius. "
    We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses--finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.
    72. Which of the following would be the best title for the test?
    A. Enthusiastic people will never get old.
    B. Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.
    C. Enthusiasm is more important than experience.
    D. Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame.
    73. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
    A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.
    B. If you don't have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing.
    C. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame.
    D. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honour.
    74. The author mentions Cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that _______.
    A. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm
    B. enthusiasm can give people needed inspiration to succeed
    C. enthusiasm can make people feel young
    D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy
    75. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
    A. Three.            B. Two.              C. Four.             D. Five.

    Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?
    Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（给……起绰号）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.
    “You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”
    Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.
    One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.
    Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”
    I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”
    小题1: The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us     .
    A．the origin of the Nobe1 Prize
    B．the achievements Harry and his wife made
    C．how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was started

    A．help the kids in the U.SB．realize the importance of education
    C．raise a lot of money for the poorD．do a lot to help kids in need

    A．She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa.
    B．She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans.
    C．She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia.
    D．She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana.
    小题4: What advice is given by Talia to those who want to help kids in need?
    A．To ask for an idea from adults.B．To set a higher goal at first.
    C．To win help from adults.D．To make an idea become popular.

    Having driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (饵料) before heading to the lake.
    Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and began to fish.
    “Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me.
    Turning around, I saw a game warden (猎场管理员) with a clip-board.
    “Good morning,” I said, nodding my head.
    “Catch any fish?” he asked.
    “No sir, just relaxing and killing time.”
    “Can I see your fishing license?”
    I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop.
    “Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested.
    “I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden.
    “The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him.
    “Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear.”
    “You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face.
    Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction（拍卖）.
    I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead.
    After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no
    one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight.
    Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.”
    On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten o’clock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing.
    As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block.
    “We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer.
    “50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd.
    “51 dollars,” yelled another man.
    I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction.
    “66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued.
    “100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent.
    “100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer.
    I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!
    As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong. It’s the law that is wrong.”
    I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line.
    小题1:Who wrote a letter to the writer telling him about the auction?
    A．The Department of Fish and Game.B．The game warden.
    C．A person unmentioned in the passage.D．The auction organizers.
    小题2:Why did the writer walk out of the auction while it was going on?
    A．He realized he was unable to get back his fishing gear.
    B．He was too nervous to stay inside till the auction ended.
    C．He couldn’t bear hearing people selling his fishing gear.
    D．He knew the game warden was waiting for him outside.
    小题3:What did the game warden mean by saying “It’s the law that is wrong”?
    A．It didn’t make any sense to prohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina.
    B．The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason.
    C．The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back.
    D．The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment.

    A frightening example of the sea’s power saw 125,000 people die in 12 different countries last week. The terrible disaster was caused when a great earthquake sent tsunamis breaking into Indian Ocean coastlines. Various areas in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa have been destroyed by the huge waves. Whole towns were simply swept aside by the power of the water. Cars, trains and buildings could not remain steady, not to say the people who stood in the way.
    The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale and occurred off the coast of Indonesia. It was recorded as the fifth strongest since 1900. Scientists said the quake was as powerful as a million of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan during the World War II. “This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history because it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas.” said Jan Ege-land, a UN official.
    Because such waves hardly happen in the Indian Ocean, there is no system in place to warn coastal people who are about to be hit. Tsunami is a Japanese word. They are usually caused by a sudden rise or fall of part of the Earth’s crust under the ocean. Tsunamis often happen in oceans and they are most common in the Pacific.
    Tsunamis can be very long, as much as 100 kilometers. They are able to cross entire oceans without losing much energy. One of the most striking facts about tsunamis is that an earthquake on one side of the Pacific Ocean can cause huge waves on the other side.
    When the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed at speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour. They can cross the entire ocean in a day or less. The wave may only be a few meters high in the ocean, but when it is near the shore and reaches shallow water, the wave builds up very quickly in height.
    61. How many countries were stricken by the terrible disaster?
    A. 6.                                   B. 12.                   C. 18.                   D. Not sure.
    62. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT __________.
    Tsunami is a word taken in from Japanese
    Tsunamis are quite common in the Indian Ocean
    The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale
    No warning system has been set up to watch tsunamis there
    63. We can know from this passage that __________.
    the earthquake has been the strongest in the last century
    the wave soon becomes higher when it reaches the shore
    the atomic bombs were more powerful than the earthquake
    tsunamis can cross entire oceans with almost the same energy
    64. You’ll see the passage in __________ section of a newspaper most probably.
    A. Sports                      B. Health               C. News                D. Culture

    Grand Opening
    Bentwood Truck Museum
    Saturday, November 8 at 10:00 A．M．
    After eighteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the Bentwood Truck Museum is ready to open．The old factory had been scheduled to be destroyed．When Roger Haygood heard about the plans to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there．Then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum．
    During the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories．Instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past．The museum now houses 68 trucks, and we hope to have even more soon．There is a 1959 school bus, a 1942 bakery truck, and a 1937 fire engine．Our oldest vehicle is a 1919 milk truck．Our newest vehicle is a 1966 tow truck．
    You can take a ride on a fire truck, a mail truck, or an ice - cream truck．Rides are $ 2．00, but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood．
    Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends! There is something to interest everyone who attends．The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history．
