Every object has weight. But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object. If the top of an object is heavier than its bottom, it will fall over easily. We say that its center of gravity(重力) is high. But if the bottom is heavier, it won’t fall easily. Then we say that its center of gravity is low.

Look at the first picture. This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above the line of its bottom (AB).

Now look at the second picture. There are some heavy things in the bottom of this box. It will not fall, because its center of gravity is above its bottom.

1. Box _____________will not fall.

2.The main idea of the passage is _________.

A.that everything has weight

B. a low center of gravity

It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL (English as a Second Language) classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Korea. Because Tara looked Korean, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Korea. Tara replied, "No, I'm not." Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Japan, or Thailand, or China. To each question, Tara answered them a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, "She's not from anywhere!" The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Korean.

The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory(介绍的)questions of each other. A student in Tara's group asked her, "Where are you from?" Tara answered that she was from Korea. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara's answer.

"Aha!" they both exclaimed, "You ARE from Korea!" Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized(道歉)to both of them for lying the day before. She told them that she had not wanted to get into a Korean conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their mother language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Korean. In her opinion， ESL students should try to speak English only.

"I agree." said Rose.

"You're 100 percent right." agreed Jenny, "Rose and I must stop speaking Korean to each other. Right，Rose?" Rose nodded，and then said something in Korean. All three women laughed.

The next half a year, Tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of Korean to them during class or break.

1.The underlined word "exclaimed" in Paragraph 3 means "　　　　 ".

A. announced with excitement　　　　　 B. shouted in surprise

C. screamed with joy　　　　　　　　　　 D. cried in fear

2.From the passage, we can infer(推断)that　　　　 .

A. Tara said she was from Korea because she knew the student in her group was also from Korea

B. Tara said she was from Korea because she wanted to make friends with the student in her group

C. Tara said she wasn't from Korea because she didn't want Rose and Jenny to speak Korean with her the following days

D. Tara said she wasn't from Korea because she didn't like Rose and Jenny and wasn't willing to speak Korean with them

Are you a gourmand(美食主义者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcast by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.

The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

1.How many kinds of traditional food are mentioned in the passage?

A. two　　　　　　　　 B. three　　　　　　　　 C. four　　　　　　　　 D. five

2.Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

A. It is impolite to serve a whole fish last at a party in China.

B. There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

C. The program lasts less than one hour and only introduces traditional Chinese food.

D. We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long

3.What does the writer mean in the last paragraph?

A. The writer thinks everyone can have a good eating habit after watching the program.

B. The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself.

C. The writer thinks the program is too long.

D. The writer thinks the program has brought many kinds of delicious food to us.

Today the word friendship has been used so often that it has lost its meaning. Some jokingly or seriously say that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.

True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friend’s help，you will treat him to dinner，and when you have to protect yourself，you will put your friends in a difficult situation.

In fact，true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts（心）.

True friendship is like water. Compared wish decent wine，water is tasteless，but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends don’t need to be with each other every day，but are connected in heart every minute.

True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter，it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others have a good word for you，not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.

True friendship has nothing to do with fame，power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential，but come to you whenever you need their help. You’re not his stepping-stone to success，but are his crutch to live through difficulties.

True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your life─your parents，your spouse，and your children，who take care of you and make your life happy. However，you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them，you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.

True friends stay in your heart，rather than at your side；they know you more than yourself，and try to better you.

Once you have found such a true friend，do treasure（珍惜）him. If your true friend disappears，how can you make the sound of your heart understood？

1.The writer feels sad because some people 　　　　　　 .

A. don’t treasure friendship

B. make wrong friends

C. don’t understand friendship

D. blame their friends

2.The writer speaks of water because 　　　　　　 .

A. it is important to our life

B. it has no taste

C. it is easy to get

D.it stays with us every day

3.The underlined word“influential”in Paragraph 5 means“　　　　　　 ”.

A.busy　　　　　　 B. powerful

C.helpful　　　　　　 D. quiet

4.According to the passage，true friends may help you 　　　　　　 .

A. achieve success　　　　　　　　　 B. enjoy mental health

C.understand them better　　　　　 D. live a happy life

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 anything else. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.

On our way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we go across the road. We’d better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don’t believe strange people in the street.

At school: When students around us begin to push each other, we need 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 both hands to cover the head. Lean to one side, curl up (蜷缩) our body and bend (使弯曲) the legs.

In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of 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.

For eating: 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.
