Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced （保养）at a nearly garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car I agreed happily. I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 pm. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result being late. I thought if dad knew what I had done，he could never let me drive again. So when I drove up the place where we had planned to meet and saw dad waiting patiently on the comer. I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs.
“I'm terribly sorry that you have to lie to me, Janson.”
“What do you mean. Dad? I'm telling the truth.”
“I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see. I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But it’s dark, and it's 18 miles to walk home.”
I pleased（请求）all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles.
It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
My _______
“The atlas（地图册）I grew up with was a hand-me-down from my brother, dog-eared Collins World Atlas.
This became my favourite book, and I was touched that he thought I was grown-up enough to appreciate it.
After wars, my atlas was considered incorrect and out of date and I had to buy a new one for school. But I still missed the well-used pages and old-book smell. I carefully tore（撕）pages out of my old atlas, and glued them on cardboard. My father helped me to cut them into jigsaw puzzles as gifts for my friends.
Google search is an easy way to find various places, but I still prefer to search for exotic places in a real-turning atlas. One day it may be priceless!”
Rosemary Francis
“When I was 13, I wanted a horse of my own. Finally my parents softened to the idea and bought me a beautiful part-Arabian horse. To settle on a name, my father suggested I open our atlas to the page on Saudi Arabia, close my eyes and place my finger randomly（随机地）on the page. Bandar Shah（Royal Port）was a wonderful horse.”
Melanie Egan
“When I retired after 20 years with the same boss Reader’s Digest, I did not expect to be given a gold watch. I certainly did not expect to be given a Reader’s Digest Atlas of the World. But that is exactly what my co-workers decided I needed. For the next 15 years that atlas was used by my family to settle geographic arguments and plan trips abroad. Sadly, wear and tear forced its retirement, too.”

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Mexico, the largest nation in the region, provides a good example of life in Central America. Although Mexico is a large country, only 12 percent of its land is good for farming. Another 40 percent is good land for cattle and farm animals. The rest of the land is hills and mountains, dry, high plateaus, or wet coastal regions.
The mountains are too high to farm. The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is too dry to plant crops. The coastal areas receive so much rain that the land often becomes waterlogged(水涝的). For all these reasons, Mexicans must take care of the good farmland they have. Yet good farming has not always been possible in Mexico.
For many centuries, Mexican farmers had grown traditional crops. These included corn, beans and squash. However, when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, they tried to introduce new ideas. They thought new plants such as onions, turnips, sugarcanes and bananas would do well in the warm, tropical climate. But the Mexicans wished to continue(继续) with their old ways.
1.How much of the land in Mexico is good land for cattle and farm animals?
2.The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is a good farmland, isn’t it?
3.Why aren’t the coastal areas good for farming?
4.What did Spanish try to do in the 1500s?
5.Did the Mexicans want to grow the new crops?

D. Answer the following questions (根据短文内容，回答下列问题）
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people
and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked even harder.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike.
Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed feelings, like other kinds of art.
1.Was the first photo a picture of a window of a house?
2.What was the Daguerreotype?
3.If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in 1840, what did he have to do?
4.Why were Mathew Brady’s pictures special?
5.What does this passage mainly tell us?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
In general, laws for children are a good thing. One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.
Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit them. If the children go too far, the parents punish them by making fun of them.
Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank（打……臀部） their children at home, but a teacher cannot hit a child in public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast（对比）, it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet！
1.How were children treated in industrial countries 100 years ago？
________________________________________________________
2.What does the author mean by “go too far？”
________________________________________________
3.Can a teacher in Germany hit his students in public school？
