“We still need to replace that button you lost,” Nana said.
“Why not use the button from my old coat?” Grandpa suggested.
　　“Good idea, Grandpa,” Zach said. “But a memory will be   44   from the box.”
　　
　　But Zach wasn’t   45  . He thought for a moment. Then he cut off the bottom button from his shirt.

16.
“I forgot. You’ve never seen a supermarket before, have you,
Jimmy?”
I shook my head no.
　　 “A trading post in the pueblo only shows you a small part of the world. This store speaks of a world that is a very big place.”
“So I should just forget where we come from, is that it?”
　　“No. Carry it with you, so that you may be always in both worlds, large and small.”
　　“So it’s big, so what! I’d rather be in a trading post any old day. Maybe they only have one kind of apple, but they are all ripe!” While I was saying that, I was watching a woman putting the green apples into a bag. “That woman is being cheated because she doesn’t know the apples aren’t ripe.”
Grandfather laughed. He also put about half a dozen of the green apples in a bag. 
“You’ll get a stomachache if you eat green apples,” I said.
Grandfather looked as though he were going to laugh again, but he didn’t. 
　　At the cash registers, Grandfather paid his money. Nobody said much. Maybe everybody in a city always acted like strangers. Maybe that was how people got along with each other here.
When we got outside, Grandfather reached for one of those green apples.
　　“Feel like sharing an apple with me?” He used a small knife to cut the apple in half. He offered me one piece. 
I was hungry, but I said no. 
Grandfather chewed the other piece, making a great show of how good it tasted. “Not afraid of an apple, are you?”
　　I didn’t know why he was making such a big deal over an apple,so I took it.I bit into it was juicy and sweet.
　　“It’s not a trick. I thought it was when I first saw them, too. But it is this kind of apple, it gets ripe but it stays green.” He finished his half of the apple.
　　“It tastes pretty good,” I finally admitted. A green apple that was ripe! It just didn’t seem possible somehow.
　　“You’re going to see lots of new things here. Just try not to forget the old things you already know and you will do well,” said Grandfather. 
1.Where did Jimmy go with Grandfather?
A.To a hotel.    B. To a garden.  C. To a supermarket.  D. To a restaurant.
2.Jimmy thought the woman was cheated because he believed __________.
A.the apples weren’t ripe              B. people laughed at her

C. she was a stranger here        D. she didn’t get along well with others
3.What can we learn from the story?
A.We should follow the rules in public.       
B.We should be ready to share with others.
C.We should try to learn from the old people.
D.We should keep the old and be open to the new.

17.　　Every school has an in-crowd—and a less-than-cool group, too. 
　　Amy’s hair is always perfect. “And,” says 17-year-old Danielle L. about her classmate, “she has so many outfits that she doesn’t wear the same one twice.” Like Danielle, you probably know who’s really popular at your school. They’re the trendsetters (引领潮流者), and everyone else follows their lead.
　　The standards of the in-crowd differ from culture to culture and even school to school. Nevertheless, teens worldwide worry about popularity. As people grow from children to adults, looking for support from peers (同伴) is normal, explains a psychologist at the University of North Carolina.
　　Being popular has certain benefits. Popular kids often enjoy plenty of party invites and dates. Along the way, they develop social skills and learn how to get along in different situations too.
　　Being a trendsetter can also be exciting. That’s especially true if that status (地位) is used for a positive goal, such as making school a more welcoming place. “It is my hope that popular teens will choose to be the superhero rather than the villain,” says psychologist Leanna Closson.
　　Popularity can have an unpleasant side, though. “Amy is very self-centred and complains about petty things,” notes Danielle. “She makes fun of other people and is in general not an all-around nice person.” Eric M. says the popular crowd acts the same way at his high school. “They act really mean on the outside to make themselves seem better than everyone else,” says the 16-year-old.  
　　If being both popular and unlikable seems strange, think about how some teens—especially girls—try to boost (吹捧) their status. They don’t just pick on unpopular kids; they often aim at the middle and higher popularity levels. Teens may secretly hope their popularity will rise if they knock down possible “competitors”. Even if that makes them more popular, in the process they may make themselves less likeable.
　　Achieving popularity doesn’t priomise happiness,either.One study of New England  teens found that high-status girls were more likely to have symptoms of deoression(沮丧) after high school.Feeling you always have to act a certain way to stay popular can be stressful,suggests Antonius Cillessen of the Netherland’s Radboud University.”Kepping status is like walking on your toes all the time,”he says.”It’s hard work.”
1.What can we know from Paragraph 2? 
A.An in-crowd is mostly made up of girls.
B.Amy belongs to a less-than-cool group.
C.Danielle is popular because of her hair style.
D.Trendsetters set the trend for others to follow.
2.What does Leanna Closson hope to see? 
A.The in-crowd will develop better social skills.
B.Popular teens will influence others positively.
C.The in-crowd will work hard to achieve popularity.
D.Popular teens will take part in more competitions.
3.What is the best title of the passage?
A.School Competitions: Yes or No
B.In-crowd at School: Dos and Don’ts
C.School Trendsetters: The Good and Bad
D.Being Popular at School: For or Against

18.　　　　It’s no secret that reading is helpful. But can it help kids lose weight? In the first study to look at the influence of literature (文学) on overweight teenagers, researchers at Duke Children’s Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference.
　　The Duke researchers asked overweight girls aged 9 to 13 who were already in a weight loss program to read a novel called Lake Rescue. It was carefully created with the help of pediatric experts (儿科专家) to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models.
　　Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease (fall) in their BMI scores (-.71%) when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadn’t (+.05%), explained Alexandra C. Russell, a fourth-year medical student at Duke who led the study.
　　“As a pediatrician, I can’t count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful advice, yet I’ve never been able to point to research to back up my recommendations,” says Sarah Armstrong, director of Duke’s Healthy Lifestyles Program where the research took place. “This is the first probable interventional (介入的) study that found literature can have a positive influence on healthy lifestyle changes in young girls.”
    Obesity is becoming more widespread in children,according to the CDC(Centres for Disease Contrlo),which reporst that 16 percent of childern aged 6 to 19 are overweight or obese,a number that has increased since 1980.Researchers are looking at a lot of ways to help kids stay healrthy ,lose weight and be more active,but Armstrong say’s,”most don’t work very well.The weight loss choices that are effective typically involve taking powerful medications with side effects,or requit long-lasting surgical procedures.”
　　While the BMI decrease due to the book is small, Armstrong says any decrease in BMI is encouraging because BMI typically increases in children as they grow and develop. That’s okay as long as it follows a normal, progressing curve. In overweight kids, however, BMI usually increases more quickly. “If their BMI percentile (百分位) goes down, it means they are either losing weight or getting tall and not gaining weight. Both are seen as positive signs in kids who are trying to lose weight,” she explains.
1.What did researchers at Duke Children’s Hospital do? 
A.They tried to find out the reasons why kids are overweight. 
B.They focused on the research into girls’ healthy lifestyle.
C.They studied whether literature could help lose weight.
D.They helped the girls to choose right books to read.
2.The underlined phrase “back up my recommendations” probably means “_____”.
A.influence my research                          B. change my opinion 
 C. respect my study                               D. support my advice
3.Which of the following statements about the research is TRUE? 
A.The researchers interviewed the girls and studied information. 
B.Pediatric experts offered specific guidance to the research.
C. 16 percent of children aged from 9 to 13 were overweight.
D. The girls read a certain novel and gave their reports.
4.What’s the finding of the research?
A.That the girls all grew tall and lost weight after 6 months.
B.That the girls showed great interest in reading literature works.
C.That the girls who read Lake Rescue had a decrease in BMI.
D.That the girls need to take powerful me dications to lose weight.

19.　　Would you like to explore (开发) the oceans? Do you want to find more life than we imagine there? For Jacques Cousteau, the answer was “yes”. His career was a life-long dream, and he is probably the most famous ocean scientist in recent times.
　　Cousteau was born in France in 1910. Even as a child, he loved water. Cousteau was bright, but he got bored with school and began to cause trouble.    1   . There, Cousteau finally felt challenged. He studied hard and did well in all his courses.  In 1933, he served as a general officer in the French Navy.    2   . He worked on a breathing machine to stay under water longer. It was finished in 1943. 
　　In 1948, Cousteau became a captain, and he had new duties. Even so, he continued to explore the oceans. Two years later, he became the president of the French Oceanographic Campaigns. He also bought a ship to help with his dives.    3   . To do that, he produced many films and published（出版）a number of books. His films include “The Silent World (1956)”, “World without Sun (1966)”. One of his books is “The Living Sea (1963)”. 
　　   4   . Its work was to further oceanic research and to encourage people to help protect the oceans and the life within them.
　　Cousteau won many honors for his work, including the Medal of Freedom and membership in the French Academy in 1989.

20.　　“Yeah, I want to clean up the environment, but what can I do? One person can’t make a difference.” Some people may say. 
 It is hard for one person to make a change, but when all the “one persons” get together, something meaningful can be done. You can start by getting all the “one persons” together in your school and set up your school environmental club! 
　　In our school, our club started because we wanted to clean up the earth. We realized the movement had to begin with cleaning up the environment closest to us.

      One project our club started was a clean-up of our school’s outdoor campus (校园). We hated the amount of pollution we found around our school. So we went to pick up trash during lunch and after school. We put the trash on display because we wanted everyone to enjoy the garbage artwork we created.
　　 Another project we started was recycling old Christmas trees. We advertised this new program at local Christmas tree stores. After Christmas we also asked our neighbors if we could replant their still-living trees. We planted them in some local parks.
　　 In the months to come we have a number of projects planned. We hope to set up our paper recycling program again which was put off because of limited storage space. We have planned another outdoor campus clean-up this spring. We will also make reusable hall passes to take the place of the wasteful paper ones.
      So now that you have some ideas for your school’s environmental club, get started. Let’s show the world what a difference kids can make. We look forward to seeing you carry out your wonderful ideas. 
1.Is it hard for one person to make a change to the environment?
2.What did the movement in the writer’s school have to begin with?
3.Why did they put the trash on display?
4.Where did they plant the still-living trees?
5.What is the passage mainly about?

On weekends I sometimes practice basketball skills with my father in the gym. I don’t play as well as he does, but he encourages me not to give up in the face of difficulties.  I benefit a lot from playing basketball. I not only feel relaxed but also feel a sense of happiness when I play basketball. Doing sports is really a good way to relax and refresh ourselves after a busy day.
