One day, I was with my friends. We were having a picnic in the field and I saw something strange. A white cat with a pink nose was sitting in a tree. There was nothing strange about that, of course, but it was eating the leaves in the tree! That was strange! Cats don't usually eat leaves. "Probably it's very hungry," I thought.
While I was looking at it, the cat got out of the tree, jumped down to the ground, walked across the field and sat next to us. It was possible that it wanted some of our picnic to eat, but there was nothing for the cat. The cat got up and came close to me. I talked to it and it smiled at me.
Was it a Cheshire cat? I found some biscuits in my pocket and gave them to the cat. Soon, it was eating biscuits and smiling at us. Then, after a while, the cat got up and walked across the field. I thought it wasn't hungry any more.
1.I was ________ in a field when I saw something strange.
A.playing football B.having a picnic C.watching a game D.flying a kite
2.What was strange about the cat?
A.The cat was in a tree. B.The cat was white. C.The car was eating leaves. D.The cat had a pink nose.
3.I gave the cat some ________ to eat.
A.biscuits B.picnic C.fish D.meat
4.Why did the cat come close to us?
A.Perhaps it was tired. B.Perhaps it lost its way.
C.Perhaps it was hungry. D.Perhaps no leaves were left for it.
5.What's the best title for the passage?

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white. In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin is, the better the look is. I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!
As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained(抱怨) about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is always greener on other side. If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
1.The writer had white legs because __________.
A.She spent so much money on her legs
B.She lived in a cold and cloudy country
C.She wanted them to be white
D.She didn’t like dark skin
2.What does the underlined (划线的) word in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?
A.时尚的 B.和谐的 C.好玩的 D.有气质的
3.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A.People are always happy with what they have.
B.The grass on both sides is green.
C.People in the west have the best skin.
D.People are always unhappy with what they have.

When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were expensive. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St.Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock(码头), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take out his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelons, eating only the heart-the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, and most seed-free part-and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father's ideal of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. If you don't take the time to dangle(摇摆)your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work will probably hurt your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1.How were the watermelons to the writer when he was young?
A.Not common. B.Not cheap. C.Not delicious. D.Not sweet.
2.How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A.They ate it in a polite way. B.They only ate its best part.
C.They ate every part of it. D.They shared only one piece.
3.What did the writer's father think of Bernie?
A.He was just a rich businessman. B.He worked hard all the time.
C.He lived a rich but healthy life. D.He knew how to make money.
4.What do the underlined words "the heart of the watermelon" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The best part of the watermelon. B.The writer's busy life.
C.The writer's decision of making money. D.The writer's hope of enjoying life.
5.What can be learned from the text?
A.One has to work hard to reach his goal. B.One should help a friend in trouble.
C.Watermelon is the healthiest fruit. D.One should keep work and life balance.
