阅读下列短文，然后从每小题A、B、C、D 中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
On Thanksgiving Day, about 88 percent Americans will eat turkey. But one lucky turkey not only will not be eaten but also will become famous! Every year, turkey farmers present a turkey to the US president. But instead of eating this turkey, the president gives it a “pardon”. The turkey is flown to Florida for a Thanksgiving Parade(游行). Then it lives on a farm for the rest of its life.
Turkeys come from America and have been part of American culture for centuries. Benjamin Franklin even wanted the turkey to be America’s national bird.
Turkeys that are kept on farms are large, awkward birds that can not fly. But wild turkeys are quite fast. They can fly at speeds up to 88 kilometers per hour. They can also run at 40 kilometers per hour.
Turkeys don’t have ears. They hear by using a growth above their beaks(尖喙). But their hearing is five times better than human hearing.
Turkeys are such interesting birds—no wonder Benjamin Franklin wanted them to be America’s national birds!

Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”

Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can’t imagine how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones. And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.
1.Who thinks that students don't have to learn at school?
A. Everyone. B. The writer.
C. Some people. D. The teachers.
2.What does "a new kind of school" mean in the passage?
A. A school with many new computers.
B. A school with many new students.
C. A school with many new teachers.
D. A school which is linked to the Internet.
3. Older people ______.
A. never go on the Internet
B. go on the Internet more often than younger ones
C. go on the Internet as often as younger ones
D. go on the Internet less often than younger ones
4.What the writer thinks is that ______.
A. schools are still necessary
B. more schools should be built
C. there should be fewer schools
D. more computers are needed in schools
5.Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A. Technology will change our way of learning.
B. If you are a student, you can set up Web sites to show new technology.
C. The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.
D. On the Internet, you can visit another city's library as easily as the people there.

Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. When he was born a month later, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.

After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided. However, he says he will definitely (绝对地) do something great.

I packed, and was ready to leave for my two-day trip. I had been busy with my work. I had made preparations for the 1. t for the last few days, and I expected to get 2. r for several days.
As I got into the car to leave, my mind flew to my kids.
How to keep in touch with your kids when you' re busy or far away is a dilemma (两难的问题) many fathers have. Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long period, but this can lead to trouble. Moving from work to family isn' t always an easy thing. And if you don' t 3. s your kids that you're thinking about them, they may think that you don' t care.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped to 4. t back to my house and wrote a short message on a5. c of cards to each of my children. I put each in a " secret" place where I knew they'd find it.
When I called the next night, they both said excitedly," Daddy, I got your card. When did you do that?"
I was moved when I heard these words. What I had never thought was that a small thing had a big influence on my kids. It proved(证明) that they were in my 6. h . And distance (距离) couldn' t separate them from their 7.f . To my satisfaction, they feel "love" of their father. This 8. v experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.
As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours, they usually pay 9.l attention to the small things. Don' t miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are.
Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids. It won' t 10. s small to them.

Running away is a serious problem. There are lots of runaway and homeless kids living in the streets around the world.
孩子们为什么想离家出走呢？
★Some kids run away because they have problems with their families.
★Some kids run away because they’re afraid to tell their parents the bad things that they did at school or in society.
★Some kids run away because there is violence(暴力) in the family.
★Some kids run away because their parents divorce(离婚) or marry again.
★Some kids run away because they have problems at school.
What will you do if your friends want to run away from home?
If your friend is thinking about running away, tell him or her that it is difficult to survive(幸存) in the streets. Try to help your friend feel less alone.
Whatever the problem is, there are other ways to solve it. Maybe you can’t think of the ways right now, but an adult(成年人) will know how to help you.

And running away isn’t a solution(解决方法) for either of you. It only makes more problems and danger.
