7、It was in my high school science class．I was doing a task in front of the classroom with my favorite shirt on．

       A   1   came, “Nice shirt,” I smiled from ear to ear．Then another voice said, “That shirt belonged to my dad．Greg’s mother works for my family．We were going to   2   that shirt away, but gave it to her   3  ．” I was speechless．I wanted to hide．

6、There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers （梦游者）．People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep．

       In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there．

       At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River．He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed．

       An American expert on sleep claims （声称） that he has never seen a sleepwalker．He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep．He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers．But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers （应征者）．”

       Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality．It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite fantastic （怪诞的）．Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed．Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded．

       C．swimming in the Lowa River before going to bed

       D．walking about before he went to bed

       D．No records about it have been made．

5、In Britain today, is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details alone tell us about health, diet and the type of work a person does．A hundred years ago the working class often looked unhealthy, small and they were either too thin or too fat．The upper classes were often tall, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy．Today living and working conditions have improved, and such descriptions are no longer true．People are taller now than a hundred years ago．Everyone in Britain today is able to have free medicine, a good diet, acceptable working conditions and enough rest and leisure．

       The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their backgrounds．Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer is rich．Clothes can provide other clues as well．The upper classes appear to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather and cotton．Lower working-class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made materials．A sociological explanation for this would be that colour and interest are missing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to produce this is taken．

       Clothes are available at a price within most people’s reach．New clothes make the wearer feel good and show some degree of wealth to the outside world．Today it is the younger people who spend most money on clothes．Fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich．Young people from all social classes spend a lot of money on clothes．Some new fashions are started by working-class people who want to look different and feel important．They want people to look at them．

1．In the past, a person’s appearance could not tell other people about his ________．

       A．health                                         B．diet

       C．occupation （职业）                         D．habits

2．The clothes people choose to wear tell us about their ________．

       A．education        B．richness                                        C．backgrounds D．hobby

3．A working-class person may start a new fashion because ________．

       A．she wants to draw the attention of other people

       B．she wants to look different and healthy

       C．she wants to show their wealth

       D．she wants to show their taste

4．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

       A．Expensive clothes look expensive and show the wearer is rich．

       B．Working-class people prefer clothes in bright colours because they lack colour in their lives．

       C．Today, it is still the upper class people who spend most money on clothes．

       D．Today, fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich．

3．If your child wants to read stories of animals, whose book will be your choice?

       A．Pat Alexander．                                   B．Beth Webb．

3、It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．“Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day．”

“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning．

       My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and went．I came home to find a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．“Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”．

       When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive．“Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened．A broken rib （肋骨） might have pierced （穿透） a lung．．．．”

       My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear．I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled （愤慨地说出） those words at him earlier in the day?

       It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him．

       “Daddy．．．I am so sorry．．．．”

       “It’s okay, sweetheart．I’ll be okay．”

       “No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day．You know, that morning?”

       My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident．I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though．” He managed a weak smile．

       My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．
