It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade（消退）, or so we thought. We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.” But it was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner we did not have the time to buy our little girl a bike. So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade the clay bike in for a real bike?” her dad asked. So he spent the next four hours making a tiny clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little gift box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I can trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle in the world!

1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike for ever.

B. Tears were in the girl's eyes because she didn't like the present at all.

C. The girl never lost her desire for a bike.

D. The parents paid little attention to the daughter's desire for a bike.

2.Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?

A. He wanted his daughter to buy a real one . B. He didn't want to disappoint his daughter.

C. He thought his daughter would like it . D. He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.

3.What can we know from the last sentence?

A. The parents were sad and encouraged.

B. The parents felt neverous and shy.

C. The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl

D. The parents felt unhappy for the girl.

4.Which do you think is the best title for the story?

Many Chinese students ask for advice on how to improve(提高) their English. There are three common questions.

The first question is about real English. Li Gang said, “I want to learn real English. But I don’t know what to do.”

Watching English films is a good way to learn real English. You can watch them when you are tired after studying for a long time. While watching them, you can relax and learn real English at the same time.

The second question is about speaking. Chen Ming said, “I’m too shy to talk with foreigners.”

“How are you?” “Where are you from?” “What do you think of China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath(呼吸) and smile! Smiling always helps.

The third question is about vocabulary. Li Jia said, “I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them soon.”

Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on a piece of paper and put it in your bedroom. Spell the words whenever you see them, and change them every day. And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?

1.How many questions about learning English are mentioned(提及) in the message?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

2.If you want to talk with a foreigner, you’d better __________ before speaking according to the passage.

A. smile at him or her B. give him or her a hug

C. introduce yourself D. talk about the weather

3.Which isn’t a good way to learn English?

A. Watching English films.

B. Practising English with a foreigner in the street.

C. Sitting in your bedroom to remember words.

D. Say the English names for everything you see.

4.What’s Li Jia’s problem?

A. She’s too shy to talk to foreigners.

B. She doesn’t know how to improve her listening in English.

C. She spends too much time watching English films.

D. She can’t remember English words for long.

5.This passage mainly talks about _____________.
