Once, a rabbit built a fantastic house where he lived very happily. He had designed it so well that, when a great rainstorm arrived which flooded nearly the whole woods and the homes of many animals, his remained untouched.

Soon, one after another, the homeless animals came to his door, asking if they could spend the winter with him in his house. He invited each visitor in, and gradually the house filled up until there was no room left. This discomfort didn’t bother the rabbit, because he felt he was being generous.

One day in spring, when all the animals had returned to their old homes, the rabbit was jumping about so absent-mindedly that he didn’t realize that a lynx (山猫) was lying in wait for him. One of the animals who had spent the winter in the rabbit’s house saw this, and warned the rabbit just in time, shouting an invitation to the rabbit to quickly take shelter in his home.

The lynx destroyed the rabbit’s home, but the rabbit managed to escape and run to hide in the home of another friend. For a whole day, the lynx followed the rabbit from burrow (地洞) to burrow, from cave to cave, but the rabbit always managed to save his life, helped all the time by the friends he had offered shelter to in the winter.

He felt very happy, not only for having escaped the lynx, but also at having made so many friends in the forest, thanks to his own generosity. 1. What was the rabbit in the story like?

B. Warm-hearted. D. Hard-working. B. protect him from harm

My dad spent four long weeks teaching me everything I needed to know about the bike and the basics of riding. Day after day and night after night he worked with me, and I began to progress.

Each ride on my dirt bike, I got a little better, and finally I was ready for my first time on the trails. At first I couldn’t keep up and the boys had to wait for me. My bike constantly got stuck in the muddy creeks.

Every time I came back, I would cry, and every time I cried my dad was there to put his arms around me. He would tell me not to listen to them and that with more practice, I would be as good as others or better than them.

Things eventually got easier, as if I could ride with my eyes closed. I still am made fun of, not because I’m an amateur (技术不熟练的人) or not good, but because they felt threatened that a girl can do what they did.

Almost every kid in this country has eaten a Hershey chocolate bar. Hershey chocolate has become famous around the world.

Milton Hershey grew up in the rolling farm country of Pennsylvania. Milton Hershey first trained to become a printer. He worked for a small newspaper at first, and then decided that printing was not the right job

for him.

Then he got a job at a candy factory in Pennsylvania. After working a few years, he decided to open his own candy business. His first business had to close down because it was not making money. After closing down his first business, he traveled to Denver, Colorado to learn how to make caramels (焦糖).

He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies in the street. But this second business also failed.

Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to the farm hills where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolates. The area where he lived had lots of dairy farms, so he had a large and easy supply of fresh milk.

And he could get other supplies, such as sugar, from nearby Philadelphia. By 13 he earned a million dollars per year. Since his chocolate dipped and chocolate flavored caramels were best sellers, he decided to make chocolate himself.

By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate by using fresh sweet condensed (浓缩的) milk. His milk chocolates were so popular that he sold his caramel factory and focused his business on making chocolate only.

In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire town to go with it. The town of Hershey, Pennsylvania had a streetcar line, schools, libraries, a sports arena, a community center and a special school for needy children.

Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you ever visit, you can smell delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town. 8. Which of the following is the correct order of the events about Hershey?

a. He sold sweets in New York. b. He built a huge chocolate factory.

c. He experimented with candies in Philadelphia. d. He worked for a newspaper. e. He started his own candy business. f. He worked in a candy factory. A. a-d-b-c-e-f

B. c-a-d-f-e-b

C. d-f-e-a-c-b B. do business D. raise cows

D. b-a-c-f-e-d

9. It is implied that where Hershey lived was a good place to . A. build factories C. produce sugar

10. Why was the town of Hershey built?

A. To provide service for Hershey’s chocolate factory. B. To remember what Hershey had done to society. C. To supply Hershey’s chocolate factory with fresh milk. D. To serve as a chocolate museum for visitors to enjoy. A. The making of Hershey chocolate B. The story of Milton Hershey

11. What would be the best title for the passage?

C. The taste of Hershey chocolate D. The failures of Milton Hershey

One reason parents may not be up in arms about the lack of PE classes in school is that many of them didn’t get much out of PE classes when they were kids. If you didn’t do well in the fitness test every year, and if you didn’t have a talent for fielding balls or using the gymnastics equipment, PE classes were mostly an experience that will hurt your self-confidence. In games such as dodge ball (躲球游戏), where the least-skilled aren’t included, only the athletically gifted got the playing time.

The male-centered, competitive way has been especially difficult for girls, because many of them enjoy doing cooperative activities more.

There’s also little “physical” in too many of today’s physical education classes. Kids in PE classes should be active for at least 50 percent of the time. Researchers have found, however, that kids take part in energetic activity for only a few minutes in a typical class. The rest of the time is spent standing around while the teacher takes attendance, or waiting for a turn to shoot a basket or hit a ball.

PE classes in many of today’s schools are taught the same as it was in the 1950s. Fortunately, PE reformers (改革家) have created new programs that are being tried in a few schools. The emphasis (重点) is not on competition but on helping kids build skills and develop an interest in some activities they will enjoy doing on their own. In the new-style PE classes, games are designed to pay less attention to competition and replace (取代) it with cooperation.

12. The underlined phrase “be up in arms about” in Paragraph 1 may mean .

A. be excited about C. be angry about A. sweet

B. memorable

B. be patient with D. be satisfied with C. fun

D. shaming

13. For those who aren’t good at sports, the experience of PE classes is . 14. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that . A. kids play less in PE classes B. kids are active in PE classes

C. kids like standing to watch others playing D. kids waste most time in PE classes A. competition B. teamwork

C. interest

D. success

15. The new-style PE classes center on .
