Different people have different ideas about time. People in the USA think that it is important to know
the time. In cities in America, there are clocks in stations, factories and other buildings. Radio tells the
correct time during the day. Most Americans also have watches with them wherever they go. They want
to do certain things at certain time. They don"t like to be late.
But time is not so important to everybody in the world. When you visit a country in South America,
you will find that people there don"t like to rush. If you had an appointment with somebody, he could
probably be late, because he may not want to arrive on time.
In South America, even the radio program may not begin on time. The men on the radio may not think
it is important to tell the exact time. People in South America think that clocks or watches are just machines.
They think that you let a clock or a watch control your life if you do everything on time. |

We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It"s true that
male mosquito doesn"t bite and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is
always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn"t
like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just
remember you are chosen. You"re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and
quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body
because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, she has
flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a
place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. |
| 1. In which part of a magazine can you probably read this article? |
A. Science World.
B. News Report.
C. Sports Square.
D. Culture Corner. |

| 3. The mosquito bites you ______. |
A. in order to have a good rest
B. too quickly to let you know
C. only if you"re female
D. when she gets angry with you |
| 4. Why do you have an itch after the mosquito bites you? |
A. Because she drinks too much.
B. Because she bites so quietly.
C. Because she lays eggs in your blood.
D. Because she puts something special into your blood. |

I worked for a short time as a cashier (出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean
up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the
floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy
at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure
enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to
describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when
I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him "no", at once he opened it and showed
that it had nearly $800 in cash (现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed
at this."A reward (酬劳) for your honesty, young girl." he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was
in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it.
But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone"s Christmas plans by finding and returning the
wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy. |
| 1. What"s in the lost wallet? |
A. Nothing valuable.

| 2. The writer didn"t give the wallet to the man until ______. |
A. she got a reward
B. the man expressed his thanks
C. the man described the wallet exactly
D. she saw the man again in the restaurant |
| 3. If the owner of the wallet couldn"t be found, the writer might ______. |
A. return it later
B. keep it herself
C. call the police
D. give it to her boss |
| 4. How did the writer feel after returning the wallet? |
A. She felt very happy about it.
B. She wished that he hadn"t done it.
C. She was disappointed about what the man did.
D. She was sad to lose the chance to keep the money. |

Dear Annie,
I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing.
I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong. Sometimes
you really need help in life, I guess. And that"s why I"m writing this letter to you. I have a happy family. I love
my children and they love me. I"m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大) children,
and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.
But now I have a serious problem: the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should
do a lot of homework now, but he doesn"t seem to be interested in it. He can happily spend six or eight hours
at a time on the Internet every day, He chats with people that he has never met before, but speaks little to us.
He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.
I just want him to be a good student. Now he seldom does his lessons at home. I"m afraid he will drop
behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor, a very kind man. He never seems to be afraid of his father.
What can I do?And don"t tell to talk to him. We"ve tried that and it didn"t work. But this is really a big
problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of. I wonder how the Internet is so attractive
(有吸引力的). You"re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith |
