“Hey, do you know what?　 Today is May Day！” my sister announced. “Do you remember the May Day baskets we used to make with colored paper and paste？”

I recalled that my sisters and I would run around our neighborhood delivering the baskets brimming with spring flowers. We would place them on a doorstep, knock on the door, then run away. It was delightful to look around a bush and watch our friends open their doors and pick up the colorful gift，wondering who had left it out for them.

I clearly remember the May Day of the year that I was in fifth grade. That year I was faced with a challenge involving one of my dearest friends. She lived right across the road from our family, and we had walked together to school nearly every day since first grade.

Her interests were starting to change from the interests that we had shared together. A new family had recently moved into our small town，and Pam was spending more and more time at their house.

When my mother asked me if I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam's house, I responded angrily, “Absolutely not！” My mom told me that I would have many other friends throughout my lifetime. “But Pam was my very best friend ever，” I cried. Mom wiped away my tears and told me that circumstances change and people change. She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what we want to be. And sometimes that would mean that friends would choose to spend time with other people. I could express my forgiveness by giving her a May Day basket.

It was a hard decision, but I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam's favorite color. I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As we watched from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn't forget me！”。

1. According to the passage what did Susie and her sisters do on May Day?

A. They gave their friends a basket of flowers secretly.

B. They sold baskets of spring flowers in neighborhood.

C. They hang a basket of flowers on their friends' doors.

D. They ran around the neighborhood to pick flowers.

2.Why was Susie angry with Pam?

A. Because Pam refused to walk to school.

B. Because she felt left out by Pam.

C. Because Pam didn't give her a May Day basket.

D. Because she challenged Pam for new friends.

3.In the opinion of Susie's mom, friends ________.

A. share the same interest with each other

B. spend most of their time together

C. leave each other enough room to grow

D. find chances to do great things

4.What lesson can we learn from the story?

A. Friends won't forget each other in life.

B. We can grow up even without friends.

C. There is no forgiveness in true friendship.

D. We can't expect too much from our friends.

Do you know what your child is going to do when the school bell rings at the end of the day? More than 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to affordable after-school opportunities. According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center (NYVPRC), nine out of ten Americans think all youths should have access to after-school programs, but two-thirds of parents say they have trouble finding programs locally. The bad news is that situation may be getting worse.

After-school hours are the peak time for juvenile crimes and risky behaviors, including alcohol and drug use. The NYVPRC states that children who do not spend any time in after-school activities are 49 percent more likely to use drugs and 37 percent more likely to become a teen parent. Kids are also at the highest risk of becoming a victim of violence after school, particularly between the hours of 2p.m. and 6p.m.. The highest amount of juvenile crime occurs between 3p.m. and 4p.m. , when most children are dismissed from school.

The NYVPRC defines after-school programs as safe and structured activities that offer children opportunities to learn new skills. The skills students learn can range from technology and math to reading and art. Some programs also offer opportunities for internship(实习), community services , or mentoring. These programs have been shown to improve academic achievements, as well as relieve the stresses on working families. A report by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of justice shows that students in after –school programs have fewer behavioral problems and more self-confidence , and can handle conflicts better than students who are not involved with these programs. In addition, according to the Harvard Family Research Project, after-school programs help students from low-income families overcome the inequities (不公平) they face in the school system.

1.What is the theme of the passage?

A．Prevention of juvenile crimes.

B．Risks kids face after school.

B．Students are not willing to attend after-school programs.

C．It’s difficult for parents to find after-school programs for their children.

D．Parents don’t care about where their children go after school.

3.We learn from the second paragraph that __________________ .

A．the teachers should watch over kids after school

B．children are dismissed from school too late

C．after-school hours are a risky time for children

D．children should go home immediately school is over

4.The author of the passage probably __________.

A firm handshake is the key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers.

A US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock（模拟）interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their general performance, five “handshake raters（评估人）” also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.

Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with “wimpy” shakes were judged to be more timid（胆怯的）and less impressive.

The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.

Professor Stewart said: “We’ve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don’t consciously remember a person’s handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal（非语言的）clues we get about the person’s general personality, and that impression is what we remember.”

Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.

Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, —as an overenthusiastic “bone crusher” handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of reliability.

The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.

1.The passage is probably intended for_______.

A．job-hunters        B．an undergraduate   C．employers         D．handshake raters

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave.

B．The undergraduates without a firm handshake are less competitive.

C．Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others.

D．The handshake dates back to medieval Europe.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．The handshake determines a person’s personality.

B．A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake.

C．The first few minutes of the interview really counts.

D．Job interview success depends on a number of factors.
