Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are those differences?
Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids' everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children's lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu's team found that 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and they have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu's team  also found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don't even like to make new friends.
Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. "When we grow up, our parents can't take care of us," Hu said. "We have to learn to take care of ourselves. "  Shen Guanquan, one of Hu's friends said, "When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. "

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   11  how difficult it is to write a   12  children’s book. Either the author has aimed too   13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   14  the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are   15  very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16  who hears the story and the adult who   17  it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this,   18  the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   19  to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as   20  of children’s literature(文學(xué)) were in fact written for   21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often   22  the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a   23   and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(連環(huán)畫), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop   24  to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   25  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥協(xié)） over the bedtime story.

Your genetic makeup plays a big part in determining your size and weight. If both your parents are tall, there is a good chance you’ll be tall. But if your parents are smaller than average, you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!
The same goes for your body type. Have you ever heard someone say a person is “big boned?” It’s a way of saying the person has a large frame, or skeleton(骨骼). Big bones usually weigh more than small bones. That’s why it’s possible for two kids with the same height, but different weight, to both the right weight.
Being overweight can run in someone’s family, but it may not be because of their genes. Poor eating and exercise habits also run in families and these may be the reasons the members of a family are overweight. And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others, when they eat right and exercise, most kids can have a healthy weight that’s right for them. It’s true- the way you live can change the way you look.
How much your weight is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use. If you eat more calories than your body needs to use, you will gain too much weight. If you spend you free time watching TV, your body won’t use as many calories as it would if you played basketball, skated, or went for a walk. But if you eat more and exercise less, you may become overweight. On the other hand, if you eat less and exercise more, you may lose weight.
小題1: Which one can be used as the best title of this passage?
A．What Makes Me the Weight I Have?
B．How Can I Lose More Weight?
C．What Makes Me the Height I Have?
D．Is the Way You Live Important?
小題2:_______ might be the most important in determining your size and weight.
A．Your father and mother
B．Your genetic structure
C．Your diet and habit
D．Doing exercise in the morning
小題3:If two kids are of the same height _______.
A．they must have large frames.
B．they must be of the same size
C．they must be of the same weight
D．their weight might be different
小題4:Which one of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph?
A．Eating right and exercise normally can keep you healthy.
B．The members of a rich family must be overweight.
C．The way you live has nothing to do with the way you look.
D．the members of a poor family can’t be overweight.
小題5: ______ can help you to get your weight right.
A．Watching TV in your spare time.
B．Eating more and doing less exercise
C．Eating less and doing more exercises
D．Sleeping more in your spare time

Hummingbirds have got their name from the distinct “hum” sound made by their rapidly flapping (拍打) wings. The size of the bird decides the number of flaps it can do. The average lifetime of a hummingbird is 3 or 4 years, but some of them have lived beyond 12 years also. They are unique in many ways. Besides the number of rapid flaps they can do per second, they can also fly backwards.
Hummingbirds have an amazing sense of assessing the amount of sugar in the nectar (花蜜) they eat. They feed on the nectar of flowers. Hummingbirds do not feed on flowers whose nectar contains less than 10% sugar. Talk about a sweet tooth! As they cannot sustain themselves on nectar alone because of its poor nutritional value, they also feed on insects and spiders, and hummingbird food mixture that one can make at home.
Attracting hummingbirds to your garden will require a little planning. Plant butterfly bush, mimosa, coral bells, foxglove, morning glory, etc. These flowers attract the hummingbirds due to their high visibility (可見性) and nectar production. Avoid using pesticides (殺蟲劑), as it will not only kill the insects around the flowers, but hurt the hummingbirds as well.
A common food for these birds is the sweettasting sugar syrup (糖漿). Hummingbird food ingredients are just two: sugar and water. Take a large clean bowl, pour in it four cups of hot water, and dissolve one cup of table sugar in it. Stir slowly until all sugar has dissolved.
Hummingbirds, tiny as they are, collect a lot of nutrition. Providing them with hummingbird food mixture made of sugar water is a sure way to get all these beauties humming in your garden.
小題1:Hummingbirds will have some little animals for their meal when      .
A．they can't find any green plants
B．they can't take in enough nutrition
C．they are bored with eating nectar
D．they are too old to fly
小題2:In order to attract hummingbirds, you should      .
A．plan high trees
B．grow plants with small flowers
C．grow plants whose flowers are bright in color
D．grow plants coming into flower in the morning
小題3:The main idea of the fourth paragraph is      .
A．how to prepare food for hummingbirds
B．where hummingbirds can find delicious food
C．hummingbirds can't live for long without sugar
D．hummingbirds like manmade food better than nectar

Many older brothers and sisters have an irritating (惱人的) tendency to take charge, a habit   21   while growing up. We can easily see this pattern in Martha, the older sister of Mary and Lazarus. She had a strong   22   to do everything exactly right and was   23  to being in control.

Martha worried about details. She wished to   26  , to serve, to do the right thing, but she often succeeded in making everyone around her uncomfortable. Perhaps as the oldest she feared shame if her home didn’t measure up to   27 . She tried to do everything she could to make sure that wouldn’t happen. As a result, she found it hard to relax and enjoy her guests and even   28   to accept Mary’s lack of cooperation in all the preparations. Martha’s frustration (挫折感) was so intense that she finally asked Jesus to settle the matter. He gently corrected her attitude and told her that getting caught up in   29   can make us forget the main reasons for our actions. In fact, the personal attention she gave her guests should be more important than the   30  she tried to provide for them.

Once in a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay – at – home athers.

Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home.” A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it’s a code for “My wife, or any woman is the better parent.”
I was a stay – at – home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.
