It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.

A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.

What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.

The insect moved round and round in one spot(地点). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.

By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.

As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.

And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.

Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.

I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.

I took my walks by the sea that summer. But I never again learned as much as I did on the one.

1. What did the ant lion use to dig holes?

A. Its tail       B. Its feet.            C. Its head         D. Its whole body

2. Why did the ant lion hide in the hole?

A. To keep the sun away           B. So no one would catch it.

C. So the ant wouldn’t see it        D. To keep warm.

3. Why did “I” sit down by the side of the road?

A. To think                           B. To eat her lunch

C. To watch the little holes          D. To catch ants.

4.Why did the ant lion dig the holes?

A. To play a game                 B. To catch its food

C. To hide its eggs                   D. To hide from its enemy

5.Why did “I” never forget that day?

A. Learned something          B. Had a nice time

C. Saw the ant lion whenever she took a walk

D. Felt sorry for the ant.

It was a sunny summer day last year when I got the news that I was admitted by the university.

Soon the news spread all over the village. Hearing the news, my parents were more than(不止) happy: big smiles formed on their faces. But behind their happiness and pride for my success, I noticed my parents worries about the heavy financial burden on their shoulders. I kept being calm.

In order to prepare for my study expenses, my parents worked hard day after day all that summer. And the day finally came when I had to go to school which was far away from my hometown. I still remember it was in the morning that we arrived at the bus station. My parents had helped me get everything ready. It was so hot that day: the scorching sun baked the ground dry. The heated air was filled with the crowds’ noise and all kinds of smells coming from the station. Sweat streamed down my parents’face. I took my seat on the 11 AM bus and looked at my parents through the window, waiting for the bus to start. Two minutes to 11:00！ My heart leapt (强烈跳动). I suddenly recalled all the efforts they made for me, all the energy and all the sweat they spent on me. They were so selfless! I almost burst into tears! While I kept my tears back, I turned around, for I didn’t want them to see me crying…

The last moment came. The bus started and was moving further away from my parents. They waved at me and I turned toward them, watching their shadows disappearing gradually into the sea of people. I, an 18-year-old girl, who had never left my hometown, began my long trip to my school.

I didn’t know what would the future be, but I knew that I would have a long way to go, and I believe I could be brave enough to take up all the challenges in my future life with my family’s love, their wordless and selfless love.

I will be always thankful for this love.

It warmed my heart today to walk into the Thirsty Camel downtown in the Thanksgiving Day, for a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip. Ihan, a food shop owner, said that he was refusing to take money today because it was Buy Nothing Day. To increase awareness(意识) of the strange’s over-spending nature of our society, Ilan suggested a trade for food today. He simply asked that you offer something of equal personal value for the meal you received.

At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if it would be fair to exchange a yet to be determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all, his food is the best in the town!

We ended up writing our IOU’s with promises of a book, some paintings and the offer of work in　 a variety of ways if he needs it.

I think the idea isn’t that the trade is “equal” so much as the importance of the kind of transaction. We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater understanding for the meals we ate.

We don’t buy a lot, especially at this upcoming time of year. We don’t give gifts at all in fact. The holiday time is spent enjoying each other’s company and doing things together with family and friends. This is what seems most sensible.

Ilan is a good person. We are all lucky to have someone like this in our community.

1.Ilan did not take any money that day in order to　　 .

A. have a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip

B. trade for something of equal value in return

C. make people aware of their over spending

D. buy nothing that day to save some money

2.For the meal, the author finally offered Ilan　　 .

A. some promises　　 B. a book

C. some paintings　　 D. work in different ways

3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “transaction”?

A. transport　　 B. trade

C. meal　　 D. giving

4.What is the author’s attitude to Buy Nothing Day?

A. Disagreeable　　 B. Meaningless.

C. Doubtful.　　 D. Supportive.
