“Mommy, I got something for you!” Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved    9    above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just a normal pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed the pen    10    to me, waiting for my reaction.

I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing    11    about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. At that moment, I didn’t    12    how special it was.

Days before, I had made the decision to be a    13   . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishers（出版商）. The night before, I told my husband my    14    and I thought Cody wasn’t listening. “What if nobody likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did    15    what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me hold the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your stories    16    and everyone will love you.”

Tears filled my eyes. Refusal（拒绝）and failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I    17    sold the first book, I had the best thing in the world. And I knew that pen would bring me luck. I felt really lucky, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard      18      he did to get it.

In the lunchroom, Cody heard a girl      19      having a lucky pen. He decided to get it for me. The girl was a tough negotiator（强硬的谈判者）but Cody didn’t give up.      20     , he traded（交易）his lunch, his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy—his most important things, for that pen. Just to make me feel      21     .

I put that pen,      22      it’s out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling regretful, I look at it and remember just how      23      I am. I know that it is Cody who I really treasure in my life.

The droughts（干旱）in Africa make it very hard to grow food. But a water system developed in the United States can help solve this problem. It is helping improve crop production in drought-affected areas.

The system involves plastic membranes（薄膜）that look like clear covers. When the plastic membranes are put in the ground, they prevent the loss of water and other healthful things from the soil.

The technology has so far been tested in Zimbabwe and Kenya and has been performing well. In a village of Kenya, the sandy soil has made it nearly impossible to produce crops. The problem is made worse by droughts. But the new water retention （保留）technology is giving farmers there new hope.

Shem Kuyah is a researcher at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. He is one of the scientists leading the testing of the technology in Kenya. He said the membranes were tested on farms that grow cowpeas（豇豆）and corn. “We realized that farms where we had used these membranes were more productive（多产的）,” he said.

Florence Mutisya is a farmer there. She has used the technology at her farm. “It is really helpful,” she said.“And I can say that this technology is working very well now, because I get a good harvest this year.” Another farmer named Anne Mutunga agrees. “The technology is very good,” she said, adding, “and we have vegetables which you can’t find anywhere else around here.”

Besides improving crop production, experts say the technology can also help reduce the effects of climate change. However, the new water retention technology has a high cost and requires a lot of labor. It costs as much as $2, 000 to buy the membranes to cover one hectare（公顷）of land.

27．What’s the theme（主题）of the passage?

A．Culture. B．Technology. C．Health. D．Art.

28．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The water system. B．The ground. C．The food. D．The farm.

29．What does Florence Mutisya think of the water system?

A．Expensive. B．Meaningless. C．Surprising. D．Useful.

30．What are the advantages of plastic membranes? Check and choose the right answer.

①They help save more energy when people grow vegetables.

②They help prevent the loss of healthful things from the soil.

③They make the farms become more productive.

④They can improve people’s health by growing better vegetables.

⑤They help reduce the effects of climate change.

A．①②③ B．①③⑤ C．②③⑤ D．②④⑤

31．What can we get from the passage?

A．The technology has been tested in China.

B．Shem Kuyah is a farmer in Kenya.

C．Farmers may refuse to use the technology because it is expensive.

D．It is easy to produce crops in sandy soil.

A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. The meal was delicious, and my family and I were all excited.

The gift card covered almost all of the check（账单）. After dinner, I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills（钞票）inside my wallet. The first would just cover the rest of the check. The second would allow me to cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip. I planned to pick the first one.

At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a busboy （餐厅勤杂工）in a restaurant. I had to work long hours of hard work for low pay at that time. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness on their faces at the end of each month. I blinked（眨眼睛）to hide my sadness and smiled to the waitress, pushing the smaller bill back down. Then I picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress.“You keep the change,” I said with a smile and happiness.

We are family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace suffering with joy.

A new study finds that some people attract mosquitoes（蚊子）much more than others, and it probably has something to do with the way they smell.

The researchers found that people who attract mosquitoes the most produce a lot of certain chemicals on their skin.    42    For the study, researchers designed an experiment. They asked 64 volunteers to wear stockings（长筒袜）around their forearms to take in the smell from their skin.    43    

The result shows the mosquitoes in some tubes（管子）were much more than the others.    44    The most attractive stocking was around 100 times more attractive to the mosquitoes than the last-place one.

“The research could help find new ways to repel（驱逐）mosquitoes,” said Jeff Riffell, a neurobiologist at the University of Washington who was not involved with the study.    45    

However, he said that would be hard to do. Researchers also did the experiment with mosquitoes whose genes（基因）were changed to damage their sense of smell.    46    

A scientist said mosquitoes have ways to find us even if we change some conditions. “They have many backup plans to be able to find us and bite us,” she said.

A．But those ideas have not been supported by experiments.

B．Then the stockings were put at the end of long tubes.

C．But they still flew to the same people who have the special smell.

D．In the end, they discovered a huge difference between the stockings.

E．If you want to go to a place with lots of mosquitoes, you should wear white clothes.

F．“There may be ways to change the smell that attracts mosquitoes,” he said.

G．These chemicals are connected to the smell that attracts the mosquitoes.

63．例文

Hello, everyone! It’s my honor to stand here to make a speech. In our life, everyone can make mistakes. So how to treat mistakes is very important. We shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes, because we will learn a lot from them and make much progress.

Once I failed a math exam because of some careless mistakes. I felt so sad. Then my math teacher told me mistakes could teach us a lesson and encouraged me to face them bravely. I learned a lot from the mistakes that I made. I knew why I made them and how to correct them. In this way, I got a better way to solve math problems and had a better grade in the next math exam.

Making mistakes isn’t terrible. If we learn from them, we will make much progress.

Thank you!
