    My name is Kumar,a little boy. Here is my story.

     After I left home,I got a job in a hotel. I had to wash the dishes. I was not paid,just given two meals a day. At night,I slept on the tables after the customers left. After a year,I left and walked to the next town. One day,a man,called Mr.

     Stewart,told me that he could help me get a job in Kathmandu. The man said that I would be trained to make carpets (地毯) and that I would be able to earn a lot of money. But the man was not telling me the truth. He took me to a big factory that was full of children,mostly girls. I was only ten

    I years old,but I was not the youngest child.

    It was like a prison (監(jiān)獄) ，and we were locked inside. We worked every day from 5 am to midnight making carpets without pay. One day,I saw a half-broken window in the bathroom,so I ran away.

    After that,I lived on the street. Some of the older boys were thieves (小偷) .They ordered me to steal. If I refused,they would beat me. One time,I was caught and I went to prison for six months.

    When I came out,I lived on the street again. I was the youngest kid in a group of thieves. One day,my head was hurt. My friends took me to a hospital by Child Workers in Nepal. There,for the first time,I found adults who cared about me. That happened when I was 11 years old. If it wasn’t for that accident,I would probably be a big thief by now.

     Once upon a time,a young man came across a spring (泉 水) of clear water while crossing the desert. The water was very sweet,and he filled his leather container (皮革容器) so that he could bring some 61 to his teacher. After a four- day journey,he presented the water to his teacher. The old man took a deep drink,smiled 62 and thanked his student very much for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart. After a while,the teacher let a 63 student taste the water. He spat (吐) it out,saying it was tenible. It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh and sweet because of the old leather container. The student questioned his teacher, " Master,the water tasted strange. Why did you still like it?" The teacher replied, "You 64 tasted the water while I tasted the gift. The water was the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be 65 .”

    After reading the story,we can understand that when we receive a chocolate as a gift from a child,we get more than the chocolate 66 . What we should do properly is to express 67 naturally to him or her because we love the idea within the gift.

    Gratitude (感謝) doesn’t always come naturally. 68 v,most children and many grown-ups like only the thing given rather than the 69 shown in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and 70 of gratitude. After all,gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

        Why does the sky change colors?

   What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer,aren’t they?

    In fact,the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?

    We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly,they need air to lift their wings. Planes can9t fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth,we’ll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane,but they cannot fly or live without air.

    Looking up above us,you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color will be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.

   Sometimes the sky doesnH look blue. When the sun rises or falls,you will see red,orange,and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.

    Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts!They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However,before flying into the outer space,they sit in a spaceship high above the earth,and there is no air at all. The sky will be that dark and its color will be black.

   Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air,there would be no light or colors.

52. Planes can't fly as high as possible because .

   A. the sky is blue

   B. the wings are heavier

   C. the sky has no color

   D. the air becomes thinner

53. When you stand on the top of a high mountain,you will see

   A. more air       B. bluer skies

   C. more colors   D. more clouds

54. In Huzhou,we might see many colors in the sky at during the day.

   A. 6:00 a. m.      B. 9:00 a.m.

   C. 1 ：00 p. m.     D. 3：00 p. m.

55. The sky changes colors because.

   A. it's colorful itself

   B. the world is colorful

    "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回聲) .It was just standing there,with Father standing on one side,and I on the other side.

    We were both in great anger. " Never set foot in this house again!" shouted Father. With tears welling up in my eyes,I rushed out of the apartment and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining,causing a rather sad feeling. I walked aimlessly (漫無目的地) .

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space： happy and carefree.

   But now — I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are different in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behavior on me.

We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

   I walked on the streets,without an aim in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets. I walked on until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached where I lived,I saw all the lights were off except Father's. I thought to myself,"Is Father waiting for me,or is he still angry with me?"

    Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After an argument,he never showed any moments of regret. However,he always has the habit of moving quietly and putting my arms underneath the quilt in my sleep.

    This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

     The light was still on. "Am I wrong?"I whispered,maybe... With the key in my hand,I was very nervous. At last,I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door,I saw my father making my bed,my tears running down my cheeks. I suddenly realize that the iron door that I had imagined between us disappeared completely. Love — it's second to none.

   A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.

   B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.

   C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.

   "A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw,the less he spoke,the more he heard. Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?” 一 Edward H. Richards.

    We all need to learn to listen well. Listening is a learned skill,the same as speaking in public. It just takes much longer to learn!Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day. And I mean active listening,not just listening when it is convenient to us.

   listening shows others that they are inportant. It9s a sign of respect (尊重) . If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking,it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.

    How do you practice listening? Here are some basic rules ：

   Put down whatever is in your hands. Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and fold your hands. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again. Then put it down.

   Turn off your computer. The computer will distract you from your job at hand — listening.

    Face the person you are speaking with. Facing the person you are speaking with will help you focus completely on listening. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important. 

    Mind your body language. Leaning toward the speaker will show interest. Crossing your arms in front of your chest shows disagreement. Looking around the room shows you have no interest. Tapping your fingers tells the speaker that you are really too busy for him. Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.

     Listen completely. Do not start making comments after the first few words. Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind. Pay attention to the speaker. Really listen to what he is telling you.

   A make readers laughgraph

   A. 使擔(dān)憂   B. 使放松

48. To practice our listening skill,we .

   A. shouldn’t look the speaker in the eye

   B. should cross our arms in front of our chests

   C. shouldn’t express our own opinions before the speaker finishes

   D. should think about how to reply to the speaker when he's speaking
