Sports 4：Swimming
   The Kowloon City Swimming Centr e is a 10-minute walk from our school．Four teachers will go to the pool and watch the students from the poolside．We will only be able to use the pool for one hour （2：45 p．m．to 3：45 p．m．）．Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity．The pool will have two lifeguards on watch．Girls must wear swimming suits．The cost is﹩15 per visit．

15．If you have a brother or sister，you already know you are different from each other．You live together in the same house and with the same parents，but you have different personalities．
Why is this？One possible reason is the way your parents treat you．
First-born children receive all the attention from their parents．Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child．Parents usually give first-borns more responsibility（責(zé)任）and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters．As a result，first-borns are often responsible，hard-wording and serious．They often want to do well at school and work．There are more first-born American presidents than second or last-born children-for example，George W．Bush，George Washington，and Lyndon Baines Johnson．
When a second child arrives，parents are not  so excited．The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents'attention and love．These children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work，but have to be creative to get their family's attention．They are often friendly and cool．Many famous talk-show hosts were born last．

56．The writer thinks that the second children are oftenB．
A．outgoing and serious                  
B．cool and friendly
C．hard-working and serious            
D．creative and responsible
57．The underlined word"personalities"meansC in the passage．
A．友好  
B．冷靜        
C．個性        
D．智商
58．A is usually the happiest in the family according to the passage．
A．The eldest child                 
B．The second child
C．The youngest child                
D．The father
59．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．the second child is very similar to the first-born child
B．brothers and sisters usually have the same personalities
C．it's easy for the second child to get his or her parents'attention
D．there are more first-born successful people than second or last-born people
60．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．birth order and personalities
B．the personalities of the second child in a family
C．the personalities of the eldest child in a family
D．the personalities of the youngest child in a family．

14．The words are meaningless； the singer's voice goes up and down； her facial expressions seem strange，almost mad．The whole impression of the song is uneasy，which seems meaningful，since the name of the song is Tante（忐忑）-a word that means uneasy．
The singer of Tante is Gong Linna and her song has caused public arguments．Some people love it，and some people hate it，but everyone agrees that it's crazy!It's so crazy that the Chinese Basketball Association （CBA） refuses to play it during their games．
I happen to like the song and I think Gong Linna has a wonderful voice．The song seems like Beijing Opera but it is also like western music．In the first half of the 20th century，musicians began writing music without lyrics and it was hard for listeners to understand．Many people thought it was just noise．However，once their ears got used to the new music，they began to like it．They discovered these kinds of writers like Elliott Carter and Virgil Thompson were telling real feelings and ideas．
To some people，Tante may just sound like noise．But to me it is a beautiful"noise"and I hope it can be welcomed for what it is-a wonderful experiment in Chinese popular music．

52．When people hear Tante for the first time，they may feelB．
A．calm
B．uneasy
C．excited
53．Tante became famous becauseA．
A．it causes public arguments

54．Elliott Carter's musicB．
A．was very popular in China
B．told real feelings and ideas
C．was easy to understand at first
55．From the passage，we knowB．
A．the writer doesn't like Tante
B．people think Tante is crazy
C．Tante is traditional Chinese music
56．The best title for the passage is"C"．
A．A piece of real music
B．A welcome voice  
C．A beautiful"noise"

"I won't decide about that until I see the bill．"I said．
Henry was drinking a glass of water．He laughed and gave me a piece of paper．It said，

"Me too，"said Henry．"You wait．It will be a bit hotter by the end of the month．"
"Yes，hotter and more expensive．The table will be 20more expensive on June 30th，won't they，Henry？"I said，"If it isn't too much trouble，please add it up again．You can forget the date．"
"OK，man．You are such a guy．"Henry said with a smile in his two blue eyes，and he left with the money he should get．

12．Generally speaking，American food is not very thick in taste．Salads are much liked and are served all year round．Many Americans are trying to keep down their weight．This is shown in menus offering"low calorie （卡路里）"or"weight watchers"meals．In markets，one can find"No Cal"drinks （meaning without calories） such as cola．
Many Americans drink coffee or tea with their meal．If a waiter in an American restaurant asks"Now or later？"，what he means is"Do you want coffee with your meal or later？"when eating out in the USA，we can ask for tea，milk，beer，and so on，if we prefer these to coffee．American restaurants cannot serve beer，wine，or liquor unless they are licensed to do so．
The main dish in American meals is usually meat，chicken or fish，but more than one of these is hardly served at the same meal．
Most Americans eat quickly during the day-that is，breakfast and lunch-unless it is a social，business，or family situation．The evening meal，however，is usually a family time．Racing through daytime meals is part of the"American pace"of life，for working hours are considered important．
The nationwide fast-food restaurants are suitable for the ways of American eating．The standard （標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的） products，of nearly the same price，are served quickly，and taste the same whether bought in New York City or in Los Angeles．
McDonald's is a popular restaurant．It offers many choices of hamburgers，F(xiàn)rench fries and"cokes"．These foods are rich in fats，sugar and salt．Often，they are the major meal of the day of many young working people．
