A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large tempting（诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater. He would 36 a bar of chocolate if given the choice. But as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 37 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe（脚尖）, stretching(伸展) as high as he could, but even at his tallest height he was unable to touch it. He began to jump up and down, as high as he could, at the top of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of 38 .
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 39 on. His schoolbag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 40 the things inside, like his lunch box ,pencil case and Gameboy. Looking around, he hoped he might find an old box, a rock,
or, 41 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. Without seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 42 . At first, he felt angry and disappointed(失望的) thinking about how hungry he had become from his efforts, and how he really wanted that apple. The more he thought like this, the more unhappy he became.
However, the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy,even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “This isn’t 43 . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad. There’s 44 more that I can do to get the apple—that is unchangeable

Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do your best and keep up with all of your tasks if you don’t sleep well. I’m sure you already know that you should go to bed at a proper hour. Most experts agree that the best number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will influence your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the result showed that teenagers facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at suitable times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon (现象) : FOMO—Fear Of Missing Out!
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend (趋势) to wake up during the night to check their phones. Afraid of missing a reply or chance to join in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report shows some worrying facts that I’d like to share with you: 23% of 12- to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use phones. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.
One in three students are always tired and unable to study well. Students who use phones during the night are more possible to suffer from depression (抑郁) and anxiety(焦虑). So switch off your phones at night. The world won’t end and your phones will be waiting to greet you in the morning. I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important.
49.Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from?
A.Travel &Adventure B. Health C. Environment D. Fashion & Beauty
50.How does the writer introduce the new trend?
A.By using examples. B.By asking questions.
C.By making a comparison(比较) D.By showing research findings.
51.Research shows that schoolchildren are tired because they________.
A.are going to bed very late B.are eating snacks at night
C.are waking up in the middle of the night D.are getting up too early in the morning
52.Fear Of Missing Out is________.
A.a feeling of not going out at night
B.a fear of missing the newest phones
C.a feeling of not keeping up with your tasks
D.a fear of missing chances of chatting online

C
As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their brothers and sisters. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
53. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.
A. report on the findings of a study
B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C. show the relationship between parents and children
D. give information about family problems
54. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _________.
A. they are busy serving food to their children
B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C. they have to pay more attention to younger children
D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
55. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.
A. have to help their parents to serve dinner
B. get the least attention from the family
C. are often kept away from the dinner table
D. find it hard to keep up with other children
56. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A. Parents should talk to each of their children often.
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. It is important to have the right food for children.
D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.

The results were late. Finally after three weeks of waiting, they arrived. Diana came running to the house with a newspaper.
‘Anne, you’ve passed. You and Gilbert. You’re equal firsts,’ said Diana.

Britons are well known for drinking tea. The average person in the UK drinks around 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all levels of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most tea grows in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea could be bought from the market. However, it was only for the rich people.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased rapidly . Black tea arrived at this time. At first this tea served exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British colour.
In the 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. They drank tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid hunger between lunch and dinner. It is a still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
Title: 1 and Britain-a short history
Important facts
Drinking tea is an important part of British culture.
The average British drinks about 1.9 kg of tea every year.
Tea is not 2 in the UK, but mostly in India and China.
Big events
British ships discovered tea in China while exploring the world and it arrived in London in the 1600s.
Black tea arrived at the beginning of the 1970s and Britons first drank it exactly the same way as the 3 did.
A little milk and sugar were found to be a perfect 4 for black tea and a special British drink was born.
Britons began to have ‘afternoon tea’ in the 1800s without feeling 5 and it has become a tradition since then.

One possible version:
Dear Jack,
Thank you for your letter. I know as a student in Grade 9, you have some problems. I hope I can help you.
First,size and body type do not matter.Health matters more than anything else.I think you should be brave enough to tell the students who laugh at you. He may not be a true friend if he pays no attention to your feelings and keeps laughing at you.Second,I know you have a lot of homework to do every day. So please plan your day carefully. Try to manage your time better. You can choose some hobbies when you are free because hobbies are very important to you. Before the exams, you should go over what you have learnt as often as possible.Third,your parents always care about you, so you can talk to them about your problems. Sometimes they can offer you some valuable suggestions. Try your best in your study and enjoy your school life. Making friends and doing sports may be a good idea to help you solve your problems. So just take action and you will be better and better.
Yours sincerely,
Sigmund Friend
