You Can Make a Windsock(风筒)
Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own!
You will need:
● one piece of colored paper
● five ribbons(丝带)
● strong tape
● a string(绳)
● a pencil
What to do:
Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.
Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube(管子). Hold one of the shorter edges(边缘) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.
Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie(系) the ends of the string together.
Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot(结) in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.
Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. Now you can enjoy watching it dance around on its own!
45. Which of these things do you need for Step 2?
A. Tape. B. Ribbons. C. A pencil. D. A string.

When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelons were expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d eat only the heart(心)—the reddest and sweetest part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. It was not Bernie’s money itself but his way of dealing with(处理) it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
Some of us have a lot of money but are never free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to have fun, your work is hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I learned from Bernie. I was too busy making all the money I could. But now I hope I have time left to enjoy the success(成功) and to have fun. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
48. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it. D. They shared only one piece.
49. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie_________.

Mr. Jones opened a shop in Aston to sell writing-paper, pencils and things like that. During the first month, very few people visited his shop. He sold little, and he could see that he was going to lose money.
One night, Mr. Jones sat by the fire and was worried after another very bad day. Suddenly he got an idea. He found a piece of wood and wrote the following notice on it in big letters:
“WHAT DO YOU THINK I GIVE AWAY PENCILS AND PAPER AND INK”
He put up the notice in front of the shop window before he went to bed. He slept better than usual that night.
The following day, many people came to the shop. Mr. Jones said good morning to them all with a bright smile and asked the first woman what she wanted.
She chose some writing paper and a pencil. After he put them on her hands, she turned to leave the shop.
“That will be thirty cents(美分), please,” he said.
“Why?” she asked in surprise.

“But your notice says it’s free,” she answered.
“Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”
She took him outside and showed him the notice. “It is wrong, too,” she said. “Where is the question mark after the world ‘think’?”

“Not at all,” said the woman. “It is quite easy to read. It says: What do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”
“No,” Mr. Jones said. “You should read it like this: 52 And the answer to the question is: Of course not! So you really have to pay me thirty cents, you see.”

At May Middle School in London, the students must stay at school from Monday to Friday. They can go into the town in the evening, but must return to the school before eight o’clock.
A student called Bob walked to the town and went to the cinema. When he arrived at school, it was half past eight. He was a little worried. He ran quickly to the gate. It was closed. Then he saw an open window on the first floor. It was the headmaster’s office. Bob looked into the room. No one was there. He quickly climbed up and jumped into the room. Just then he heard someone was talking outside the door. He looked around and hid himself under the sofa. One minute later, the headmaster came in. He turned on the light and sat on the sofa. Then he began to read.
Bob lay under the sofa and looked at the headmaster’s feet for an hour. He was too afraid to move. Finally the headmaster stood up and walked towards the door. “Thank Godness. He did not find me under the sofa,” thought Bob. Then the headmaster stopped. He turned his head and spoke to the sofa, “Could you turn off the light before you leave?” and then left the office.
