When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to __11__ where they sold toys for children. Being charmed with the sound of a whistle, I __12__ all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much__13__ with my whistle. My brothers and sisters said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, They __14__ at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more__15__ than the whistle gave me pleasure.

This, however, when I was tempted to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle, ”and I__16__my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and observed the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.”

If I knew a miser（守财奴）who __17__ comfortable living, for the sake of gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I,  “you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but merely __18__ himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “Mistaken man, you are providing pain __19__ pleasure for yourself; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of appearance who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his fortune, and for which he had run into debt, and __20__ his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.”

In short the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a false value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.”

The romance novel Me Before You tells a story that you might never forget. It is the latest bestseller by British writer Jojo Moyes. The book has been made into a movie. British actress Emilia Clark and actor Sam Caflin play the lead roles in the movie.

There are two main characters in this book. One is Louisa Clark, or Lou, a girl who has lost her job at a cafe. The other is William Traynor, or Will, a young man who has become disabled after a motorcycle accident.

Lou ends up taking a job where she has to take care of Will. At first, they don't like each other very much. However, they gradually become good friends. But this happiness only lasts a few days.

While I read the book, I couldn't help but notice its language. There were a lot of descriptions to show what the characters are feeling. There are also many detailed descriptions of the environments around the characters. For example, Moyes writes "I saw it was bigger than I had imagined, red brick with a double front…",describing how surprised Lou is when she sees Will's house for the first time.

At the end of the book, Will writes "Just live well, just live" in a letter. This short line is the last thing that Will writes to Lou. It shows Will's deep feelings about life. He wants her to live life to the utmost(竭尽全力)－the very thing he had wanted to do before he had his accident.

六、阅读表达（本题共3小题;每小题2分，满分6分）

Playgrounds offer kids fresh air, friends, and exercise. However, each year, more than 200,000 kids go to hospital because they are hurt in one way or another when playing on the playground. So what can we do to improve the situation?

We should make sure the playground is safe for the children. It should be soft and thick enough, so when the children fall, they won't hurt too much. Things like water, rocks or broken glass might cause danger to the kids. Cleaners should check the playground from time to time and clear away these dangerous things. In fact, children themselves also need to help keep the playground clean and safe. That means each time after playing they should pick up the rubbish they've produced. If someone finds there is something wrong with the equipment (设施), he should report to the keeper of the playground, so people will come to fix it.

Teaching kids how to play safely is also very important. If they know the rules of the playground, they won't get hurt easily. For example, they should never push when others are on seesaws or swings. If someone is going to jump off some equipment, he should first look down to make sure no other kids are in the way. Of course, wearing right clothes may also help to keep safe. Clothes with strings (绳) can get caught on equipment which may hurt the kid badly.

 In short, our kids can both enjoy themselves and be safe if we are working together to improve the situation.

53. What things might cause danger to the kids on the playground? 

_____________________________________________________________________________

54. Why should we teach kids how to play safely on the playground?

_____________________________________________________________________________

55. What's the passage mainly about?

_____________________________________________________________________________

Online learning

Online learning，as a new way of learning，has been more and more popular among students．

It has many advantages．Through online learning， we can learn anytime and anywhere．We can  choose what we want to learn freely．However，it also has disadvantages．Some students lack self-control， so they spend too much time on computers or mobile phones．It's not good for their study．I think online learning is better．Because we can learn more knowledge which is not found in books．In addition， online learning is more interesting than the traditional way of learning．
