Answer the questions according to the passage you read.

A great French writer said that we should help everyone as much as we can, because we often need help ourselves. Sometimes the small can help the great. And he told the following story.

An ant was drinking by a small river and fell in. She tried her best to reach the bank(岸), but she couldn’t move at all. The poor ant got too tried but was still doing her best. Then a big bird saw her. The bird threw a piece of wood into the water. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself on the grass, she heard a man coming up. The man was walking with a gun(枪) in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wanted to kill her. But the ant bit(咬) him on one of his feet and at the moment the bird flew away at once.

The ant saved the bird’s life.

2.What does the sentence “we often need help ourselves”?

3.Why did the ant couldn’t reach the bank when it fell into the river?

4.Though the poor ant was too tried, what did she do？

Read the passage and answer the following questions. （回答问题）：

When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter (字母) E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?

In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. However, E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.

The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:

A: 95-100% (excellent)　　　　 B: 85-94% (good)　　　　 C: 76-84% (fair)

D: 75% (barely passed)　　　　 E: below 75% (failed)

We can see the E grade instead of F grade.

Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. Later, many schools decided to change the E grade and into the F grade. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.

Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler. As the 20th century began, school classrooms became bigger. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.

Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents still prefer the letter grades because they are familiar and easy for parents to understand. Although they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.

1.It there a letter E in the grading system now?

____________________________________________________________

2.What does an F stand for in the A.B.C.D and F grading system?

____________________________________________________________

3.When was the letter grading system first used in the US college?

____________________________________________________________

4.What is the one of the possible reasons for changing the E grade and into the F grade?

____________________________________________________________

5.How did most teachers like the letter grading system in the 20th century?

6.Do you want to get letter grades or number scores on your test or homework? Why?

Answer the questions according to what you read.

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock（股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.

Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”， he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).

Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs， including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.

It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However， he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.

Ma’s hero is Forest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015，Ma said， “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题）：

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the population of the Earth will have grown by 10 people. That may not sound much, but it is about 14,000 people an hour. That is the same as adding most of the population of Germany to the world every year!

Most of these new people are born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa, South America, and parts of Asia. In the developed coun¬tries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average, only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, around one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be the home to only around one tenth of the world’s people.

In the developing countries，more than one billion people already live below the poverty line(贫困线）.These people don’t have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing； children get little or no time at school and suffer from many kinds of diseases.

The United Nations(UN) tries to guess population growth. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world's population was around six billion people. The UN has said that the world's population will level off at 12. 5 billion people by the year 2100. Other people think the world's population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion people before it becomes stable or even falls.

1.How many people are added to the world’s population an hour?

2.In what areas of the world can developing countries be found?

3.In 1950，what percentage of the worlds population lived in developing coun¬tries?

4.By 2050，there will be many more people living in the developed countries, won’t there?

5.How many people will there be in 2100 according to the UN?

6.What may happen if the population keeps growing?

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题):

Reading newspapers is a convenient way to get the daily news. They are not expensive, and we can buy them at gas stations, supermarkets and newsstands. However, newspapers were not always so easy to get until Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press (印刷机) in the fifteenth century. It made copies by making a piece of paper across metal type (金属活字印刷). There is black ink on it. That’s why “the press” not only means the machine that prints the newspaper, but also newspapers themselves.

The term “newspaper” was first introduced during the 17th century, and the first newspaper was printed in Germany. Before people got into the habit of buying their own copies, a single copy was posted in a public place on a wall or notice board.

Newspapers were not designed very beautifully at first. Today, newspapers contain much more than a record of the day’s events. There are sections for fashion, food, sports, cartoons and games. Newspapers are a source of information and entertainment. For hundreds of years, printed newspapers were very popular.

However, in the 21st century, printed newspapers are starting to disappear. Four hundred years ago, there were not many newspapers because they could not be printed quickly, and many adults didn’t even know how to read. Today tablets, phones, and the Internet are replacing (代替) newspapers because it is easier and cheaper to read the news online.

1.Newspapers were easy to get in the fifteenth century, weren’t they?

_______________________________________________________________________.

2.Where was the first newspaper printed?

_______________________________________________________________________.

3.How was a newspaper made after Gutenberg invented the printing press?

_______________________________________________________________________.

4.How many newspaper sections are mentioned in the passage?

_______________________________________________________________________.

5.What happened to printed newspapers in the 21st century?

_______________________________________________________________________.
