“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering. Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?” “I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!” “We are here to help you. Don’t worry about anything. I don’t know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).” “Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?” “ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.” “My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.” Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail. Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.” “He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes. “No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.” “Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?” “My dear Mr Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room.” 小题1:Paragraph 6 beginning with “My name is …” is mostly about_______________.A.Helen’s dead sister | B.Helen’s trip to London | C.the house Helen lives in | D.Helen’s stepfather and the family | 小题2:What is Holmes doing while Helen is telling her story?A.Walking slowly | B.Listening carefully | C.standing sadly | D.Writing quickly | 小题3:Which of the following can best describe the gypsies according to the passage?A.They are very rich | B.They are afraid of other people | C.They live on a horse-drawn wagon | D.They move from one place to another | 小题4:The passage is probably from __________.A.a novel | B.a guide | C.a poem | D.an advertisement |

“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term. “Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students. Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.” “How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer. “Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.” “Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.” “Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud. “Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.” “What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy. “Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.” “What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult. “Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.” “He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out. “Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself. Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer. “So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.” Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?” “You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…” 小题1:What class did Mr Gruber teach?A.History | B.Science | C.Maths | D.Business | 小题2:Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?A.Tom | B.James | C.Peter | D.Sandy | 小题3:How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting?A.He himself kept talking’ | B.He just read from a textbook. | C.He showed a movie to his students. | D.He got his students to take part in a discussion. | 小题4:What do you think of Mr Gruber according to the passage?A.Strange | B.Patient | C.Shy | D.Proud | 小题5:What can be the best title of this passage?A.Get What You Want | B.Needs and Wants | C.Try to Get More Money | D.How to Live Well |

My parents have always loved everything about India, so a year ago we went on holiday there. It’s a wonderful 15 with beautiful scenes and interesting people . However, I didn’t enjoy Indian 16 very much. On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the 17 they said. “If you go by train, it’ll take you only two hours to get there.” However, the hot 18 took over four hours. I was very 19 when we got there , so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were 20 to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs. I said to my dad, “I’ve been eating rice all week. Can I have some meatballs please?” Well, they looked delicious so I ate the first one very 21 . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself 22 —my mouth was on fire! I started to cough(咳嗽)and there were tears (泪水)in my eyes. I couldn’t 23 how spicy (辛辣的) it was! I drank about ten glasses of water but the worst thing was everyone was laughing at me. You couldn’t make me eat another Indian meatball for all the 24 in the world!

My Year Abroad This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes. Mariko Okada – Tokyo My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future. Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home! Alvin Chen – Hong Kong Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went! 小题1:All the three teenagers went abroad .A.to study English | B.to visit friends | C.to have a holiday | D.to find a job | 小题2:Who didn’t really enjoy the stay in a foreign country very much?A.Mariko. | B.Carla. | C.Alvin. | D.None of them. | 小题3:Travelers Corner is most probably .A.a sports club newsletter | B.a science documentary | C.a travel magazine | D.a news website |

At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where 22 people can become rich. “ 23 don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.

My father 29 working hard, and reached his goal. “Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come 30 in life.” That is what I learned from my father.

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result. One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon. So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works. When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies in glass cases. The teacher liked the samples(标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave. “What are you doing, Tommy?” she asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s when the parents are coming to see them.” “I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night.” “But, aren’t the butterflies yours?” asked the teacher. “No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s” “But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else’s” “I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer, “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.” 小题1:What did the class teacher think of hobbies for children?A.Unwelcome | B.Hopeless | C.Harmful | D.Important | 小题2:What time did Tommy get back to school that afternoon?
