Forgetful Nick

After school on Friday, when Nick got home, he saw Grandpa’s car! Nick smiled and walked quickly up the front sidewalk.

He reached the door and said hello to Grandpa. Then Mom called from the kitchen. “Put away your schoolbag first.”

Nick’s smile vanished(消失). “Oh, no,” he said, “I forgot to bring my schoolbag home.”

Mom was angry. “Nick, you forgot your schoolbag again! You need to be more careful!”

Grandpa turned to Nick and winked(眨眼), “I’m afraid you inherited(遺傳) your forgetfulness from me, Nick. Your grandma used to call me ‘Forgetful Jones’.”

Grandpa’s words made Nick feel a little better. But he still felt mad at himself.

After dinner, Grandpa suggested going for a walk. As they walked around the corner, Grandpa said, “I’ll tell you a little secret, Nick. We’re the same. We like to do things, make things and have fun! That’s why we sometimes forget things.”

“But Grandpa, how did you stop forgetting? How can I stop forgetting?” Nick asked.

“Well,” said Grandpa, “I know a few tricks(竅門). I use them to help me remember important things. For example, it’s important to turn off my car lights when I park the car. So every time I get in the car, I put my notebook in my lap(大腿).”

“I saw it!” said Nick. “I always wondered why you did that!”

“Now you know my secret,” said Grandpa, “It’s a simple little trick, but it works. Why don’t we put our heads together and come up with a schoolbag-remembering trick?”

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳選項。

Food is a major part of every culture． After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when．

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread． Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal． In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p．m． But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p．m． Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p．m．

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat．

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously． Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals． Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee． They eat lunch at around 1:00 p．m． and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p．m．

The French consider eating a social activity． Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of． The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same．

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast． Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables． Between 6:00 p．m． and 8:00 p．m．, people enjoy a smaller meal with their families．

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推車)． But they always finish eating before walking away．

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ． Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast． Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast． For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers． Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns． American restaurant servings tend to be huge． But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common．

1.People of Egypt usually start a day with ________．

A．a(chǎn) drink

B．a(chǎn) bagel

C．some meat

D．some vegetables

2.In which country do people consider lunch the largest meal?

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題。

Internet is educational. Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interests. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while surfing the Internet.

Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don’t understand. All of these may have some bad influence on children’s development. Also, it is dangerous to let children chat in rooms by themselves. Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street, so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the Internet too. What’s more , sitting in the front of a computer for a long time isn't good for children’s eyes, so parents should monitor(監(jiān)視) the time that children spend on the Internet.

In a word, children should be kept away from anything that could be bad for them. I strongly believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use the Internet.

1. When should the children always be watched in the writer’s opinion?

____________________________________________________________

2.What do the parents tell children to do when they meet strangers on the street?

____________________________________________________________

3.Why shouldn’t children sit in front of a computer for a long time?

___________________________________________________________

4.Who can help children stay away from the bad influence on the Internet?

___________________________________________________________

5.What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?

___________________________________________________________
