A
One day a rich man and a businessman met in

ordered soup. When it was brought, the rich
man tasted it, but the soup was so hot that he
burned
his mouth and tears came into his eyes.
The businessman asked him why he was crying. The
rich
man didn’t want to tell the truth and he
told a lie,“Sir, I had a brother who was killed
last year. I
was thinking of his death, and
that made me cry.” The businessman believed his
story and began
to eat his soup. He also
burned his mouth so much that he had tears in his
eyes. The rich man
noticed it and asked the
businessman,“Sir, why do you cry?”The businessman,
who now saw that
the rich man had cheated him,
answered,“Oh, I’m crying because you were not
killed together
with your brother.

School kids Say
Goodbye to Their Flying Friends
Jin Jun and
his classmates at Shanghai Nanyang Middle School
are not very happy to be
back from holiday.
Not because they hate studying, but because
some of their best friends on campus（校园） are
gone: pigeons.
More than 100 pigeons used
to(过去常常) fly around campus every day, making
students smile
during break time.
But
now, the birds are gone. Where? Now they’re all
locked up in a bird cage. Bird flu(流感)
has
landed in Shanghai, and expert are afraid the
pigeons might spread（传播）the disease if they
keep flying around.
For safety, the school
also asks students to stay away from the cage. “I
feel sad for those birds.
They’re my best
friends,” said Jin, a Junior 3 student. “Last term
I would bring corn to feed them,
but I can’t
do that any more. I hope bird flu will end soon so
I can play with the pigeons again.”
Nanyang
Middle School is not the only one to take pigeons
off campus.
Students in Beijjng Fengtai
Experimental Primary School also gave their
pigeons to the local
health department
（当地卫生部门）on February 3.
Their pigeons are
special birds. In 1999, students found two injured
pigeons and gave them a
home. To get money for
bird food, the kids sold rubbish paper They took
good care of the birds,
and five years
later, those two pigeons had become 265!
“The
students loved the birds,” said Mr Chen, the
school’s headmaster. “But to keep the school
safe, they are willing to give them up.”

Dear Tom,
I am studying
in Beijing now .I have a day off today. Now let me
tell you something about
Beijing. In our
country people drive cars on the left side of the
road, but here in Beijing, on the
right side.
Many people of London go to work by car, while
most people of Beijing go to work by
bike. The
weather of Beijing is better than ours. It's fine
for long here, but we have so many
cloudy days
in London．Students here work hard at their lessons
and a lot of people can speak
English. It's a
pity that students in our country don't work hard
and few people know Chinese.
That's all for
today. Please write to me soon．
Your ever,
Peter

homes people eat four meals a day: breakfast,
lunch, tea and dinner.
People have breakfast
at any time from seven to nine in the morning.
They eat porridge，eggs
or bread. English
people drink tea or coffee at breakfast.
Lunch
comes at one o'clock. Afternoon tea is from four
to five in the afternoon and dinner is
about
half past seven. First they have soups, and then
they have meat or fish with vegetables. After
that they eat some other things, like
bananas，apples or oranges. But not all English
people eat like
that. Some of them have their
dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are
breakfast, dinner,
tea and supper and all
these meals are very
necessary.

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its
old meaning is used to express a
temperature(温
度) that is a little bit cold. As
the world has changed, the word has had many
different meanings.
“Cool” can be used
to express feelings of interest in almost
anything.
When you see a famous car in the
street, maybe you’ll say, “It’s cool.” You may
think
“he’s so cool ” when you see your
favorite footballer.
We all maximize(扩大) the
meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many
words such
as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an
interesting story we can use to show the way how
the word
is used. A teacher asked her students
to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited.
On one
student’s paper was just one
sentence(句子), “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it
was the best
way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of
words. Without “cool”, some people have no
words to show the same meaning. So it is quite
important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can
you think of many other words that make your
life colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I
think
they are also very cool.
( ) 71. We
know that the word “cool” has had_______.
A. only one meaning B. no meaning
C. many different meanings D. the same meaning
( ) 72. In the passage, the word “express”
means “___________”.
A. see B.
show C. know D. feel
( ) 73. If
you are ______ something, you may say “It’s cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid
of D. unhappy with
( ) 74. The writer
takes an example to show he is ______ the way the
word is used.
A. pleased with B. strange to
C. worried about D. careful with
( ) 75. In
the passage, the writer suggests(暗示) that the word
“cool”_________.
A. can be used instead of
many words
B. usually means something
interesting
C. can make your life colorful
D. may not be as cool as it seems
