the road before I could catch her.Emily lay there for a moment,guessing her chances of survival.Finding the chances were in her favor,she sat up with a smile that quickly turned into tears when she saw the blood on her knee.I took her in my arms,saying words of comfort as I carried her into the house to mend her hurt.With much comfort,she let me wash and put ointment on her knee.I kissed her cheek.“All better now,sweetie？”“No,Grandma.you must say the Mommy words.”she said.I quickly ran a list of Mommy words through my mind:Please?Thank you?I love you?“You know,Grandma.Mommy says them to make me all better.”Emily took a deep breath and recited(朗诵),“A little kiss,a little hug,I give you these,with all my love.”My mind raced and I remembered.It was the same little song that I had said to my children,my mother to me,and her mother to her.My grandmother had died when my mother was eight.There had been nothing left but her dear memories.When she became a mother herself,she passed on the gentle love of her mother and the“Mommy words”that made all bad things go away and only the good remain.Hearing it now,I realized that though I had never met my grandmother.I did know her.We were mothers we were connected at the heart.I heard my grandmothers,my mothers,my daughters,my granddaughters,and my own voice mixing through time.“Dont cry,Grandma.I am all better.”Emily and I kissed and hugged,and said the Mommy words to each other.1After falling from the bike,Emily lay on the ground for a moment _.A.wondering if she was alive B.waiting for her grandmothers help C.because she was badly injured D.because she was deeply shocked 2Why did Emily ask the author to say the Mommy words?A.She missed her mother very much.B.She just wanted to confuse the author.C.She wanted the author to comfort her.D.She hoped to learn the Mommy words.3The underlined word“her”in Paragraph 4 refers to _.A.the authors grandmother B.the authors mother C.the authors daughter D.the authors granddaughter 4What do you think is the theme of the story?A.A mothers love is great.B.Children are our teacher.C.True love shows itself in time of need.D.Kind words are the music of the world.B You just heard you have a math test on Friday the same day as your big history test and weekly quiz on Spanish verbs.How will you get all your studying done?Studying for tests and quizzes actually starts before you even know youll have a test.Good study techniques begin in the classroom as you take notes.Note-taking is a way of remembering what you were taught or what youve read about.Even if you are an amazingly organized and neat note-taker,copying and organizing notes after class helps you absorb and understand the material.And that makes studying easier and faster at test time.As you study,review your notes and any special information from your textbook.In the case of math or science problems,do some practice.Pay special attention to anything the teacher seemed to stress in class.Many teachers tell students ahead of time what the format(格式)of an exam will be.This can help you study.For example,if the exam will contain essay questions,youll want to think about which topics are most likely to be covered.Then come up with several possible essay topics and use your notes,books and other reference sources to figure out how you might answer questions on those topics.When trying to memorize dates,names,or other factual information,keep in mind that it usually takes a number of tries to remember something correctly.Read things over several times if you need to,and write down any phrases or thoughts that will help you remember main ideas or concepts.5The best title for the passage would be“_”A.Note-taking Is Important B.How to Study in Class C.How to Prepare for Exams D.Ways to Study 6According to the passage,the first step to get a high score in a test is to _.A.remember what youve learned B.take notes in class C.understand what youre taught D.do more exercises 7Before an exam teachers usually tell students _.A.what theyll examine on B.what they should pay attention to C.how to answer questions D.the ways to take an exam c If you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Greenhouse of Flowers,you will have a chance to see some meat-eating plants.Take bladderworts,a kind of such plant,for example.They appear so small and grow in a quiet pool.But these are the fastest-known killers of the plant kingdom,able to catch a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap(陷阱)door!Once the trap door closes on the animal falling into it,the enzymes(酶)similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect.When dinner is over,the plant opens the trap door and is ready for trap again.Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesnt offer much food value.In such conditions,these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional(营养)needs over thousands of years.North America has more such plants than any other continent.Generally speaking,the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye,like pitcher plants,which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers(a container like a bottle)full of honey.The Asian pitcher plant,for example,has bright colors and an attractive half-closed cover.Curious insects are attracted to come close and take a drink,then fall down the slippery wall to their deaths.Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons(7.5 liters).Meat-eating plants only eat people in science movies,but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isnt a good place to get a drink.8From Paragraph 1,we can know that meat eating plants can _.A.catch 50 small insects in a second B.catch an insect in the shortest time C.be found floating on a quiet lake D.notice an insect in 1/50 of a second 9What does it mean if the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed?A.The plant is fooling insects into taking a drink.B.The plant is producing honey.C.The plant is attracting insects to come close.D.The plant is enjoying a dinner.10Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they _.A.can get nutrition from animals B.dont need much food value C.can make the most of such conditions D.have developed digestive enzymes 11We learn from the text that meat-eating plants _.A.are big and tall B.like to grow in dry land C.look bright and beautiful D.are usually covered with hair D A Day of Hope A Day of Hope is a student-run non-profit(非营利性的)organization that sends baskets of food for Thanksgiving to poor families in Northern California.Over the past three years,A Day of Hope has sent baskets of food to 405 families in need.Arts for All Ages Arts for All Ages is a non-profit organization that travels to

lessons and workshops for all children,who show an interest in learning any one of the arts we teach,free of any cost to them.Charity Music Charity Music is a non-profit public service organization

Program was established in 1996 by former Macomb Symphony Orchestra President,Roger Fachini.The Food for Everyone Foundation The Food for Everyone Foundation is a non-profit organization that travels
