A
Long ago there lived in the mountains a small dragon named Marvin. Like all the other dragons, Marvin had hard skin, a long tail, wings for flying, and a breath of fire. However, Marvin was different from the others. He was friendly like a dog and smart like an elephant.
Three large dragons, Bord, Brun, and Barg, delighted in scaring and teasing (戏弄) the other animals on the mountain. One day a goat got lost and came to a place where Bord, Brun, and Barg were sitting. The dragons surrounded the goat and began to tease it. They breathed fire at it and burned its wool. They hit it with their long tails. The scared goat was desperate (拼命的) to get away from the three large dragons.
Marvin was flying overhead. He saw what the dragons were doing and landed on a cliff above them.“Excuse me!”Marvin shouted down to the dragons.“Which of you is the strongest dragon?”
The other dragons looked up at Marvin.
“The old man with magical powers who lives on the other side of the mountain wants to find the strongest dragon.” answered Marvin. “So which of you is the strongest?”
“I am!”shouted Bord, and he lifted up a huge rock over his head. He swayed under the weight of the rock but held it strong.
“I am!”shouted Brun, and he grabbed the tops of two trees. He bent them towards each other so the tops touched and held them strong.
“I am!”shouted Barg, and he drank all the water out of the mountain lake. His stomach swelled like a balloon, but he held the water strong.
As the three dragons showed their strength, Marvin flew down to the goat and gently picked it up. “Come now, small one,” Marvin said to the goat. “Let us go quickly to the old man and tell him that we have found the three strongest dragons in all the land!”

On a cold winter afternoon, I was walking home from a supermarket. I was feeling a little tired, as I was carrying my shopping bags. They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park. As I walked towards the gate of the park, I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of me. He was holding a paper bag in his dirty hand. He walked to a nearby dustbin and started looking through it.
I suddenly felt sad. I knew this man would take all that he could get, so I went up to him and gave some fruit to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him. A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then some drinks, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, boy.” Then he went away, singing a song. Just then, I realized what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help. Everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness. Giving sometimes doesn’t cost you much, but it means a lot to the people who you help. The man’s happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others.

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights（权利）, you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
◆Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered（庇护）by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
◆Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
◆Children must not be cruelly punished（惩罚）by their parents or any others.
◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse（虐待）and neglect（忽略）.
◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

A. All countries B. A few countries C. No countries D. Most countries

A. something people have to do B. something people want to do
C. something people know how to do D. something people love to do
13. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Parents should punish their children.
B. Children should make money for other people.
C. Governments should protect children from neglect.
D. Children under sixteen should not fight in an army.
14. Some children can’t get an education because ________.
A. there aren’t enough schools B. there are no schools
C. they come from rich families D. they want to work in factories
15. What’s the main idea of this passage?

C. Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered.
D. The United Nations has listed the rights it thinks children should have.
