13、Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had．We did everything together：piano lessons，movies，swimming，horseback riding．
When I was 13，my family moved away．Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding(婚礼)and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes，and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，stamped“ Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years，I missed Linda very much．I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died.
There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name．“There must be thousands of Wagmans，”I thought，but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter．“Mrs.Tobin!”she said excitedly，“Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much，even after 40 years，laughed and cried
and caught up on each other’s lives．Now the empty place in my heart is filled．And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure：We won’t lose each other again!

14、I had never really liked reading and thought it was a waste of time. But once my teacher told our class to go to the library and find our favorite books. I love basketball, so I picked out a basketball book. It was called “Hoops” by Water Dean Myers. It is a good novel, and suitable for basketball lovers.
This story is about a high school ball player named Lonnie. Lonnie lives in a poor family in Harlem, New York. He is a good basketball player and dreams of playing basketball in college, and of course in the NBA．When Cal, his new coach, walks into his life, he just wants to keep away from him. But at last they become friends and face many challenges together.
I am now reading more of Walter Dean Myers’ books. A lot of his books are about growing up in Harlem, just like he did. However, I like “Hoops” best. From Lonnie, you will learn that the people around you really affect who you are, and how much it helps to have the support of family and friends in your life.
This book also makes me think about how hard it would be to grow up in a rough(艰难的) neighborhood. I have realized that we must believe in ourselves when life gets hard. I have learned a lot from this book, and I think anyone will learn much after reading it.
It is a good story, and I really suggest that everyone read it. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I do.

A．history book B．fashion magazine
C．newspaper D．novel

15、Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.
David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.”

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”

Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ I’m afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I’m a Hindu (印度教信徒) and my religion (信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”

Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I didn’t want to touch them.”

A．she can’t eat food with beef
B．she doesn’t like their appearance
C．she doesn’t like foreign food

16、Although most of Pakistanis live in the countryside, still many Pakistanis live in cities. Karachi has over 5 million people and Lahore has over 3 million people. Islamabad was built to be Pakistan's capital. The rich city people live in large, air conditioned houses.
Pakistan has 121,000 miles of roads. Bus services and minibuses are available to the public. The trains are still the most common transport of long-distance travel for Pakistanis. Pakistan also has an airline that operatesdomesticand international flights.
It is difficult to identify(识别) Pakistani food because the country shares food traditions with its neighbour, India. The main difference between Pakistani and Indian food is that Pakistani food is less spicy (辛辣). Pakistani dishes are often made with yoghurt(酸奶), which reduces the effect of the hot spices used in cooking.
Wheat is the main food for most of the people. It is eaten in the form of bread named chapattis or roti, together with vegetables in season. Sweet tea, milk, or lassi, a drink made from yoghurt, makes the meal perfect. Those who can afford to buy it eat meat, although in the countryside these are usually festival foods. Goat meat is a favourite. Pakistanis will not eat pork by the way.
1．Which city is the capital of Pakistan?
A．Karachi. B．Lahore. C．Islamabad. D．Bangkok.

17、What do you think of open-book exams? Do you have anything to say about this kind of exam? Here are several opinions about open-book exams from some students and their teacher.
May：

We students have so many burdens (负担) in our school life. Maybe the examination is the greatest one. Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter， I think. At least it means that we need not learn so many things by heart any more.

Hill：

Open-book exams do not mean students do not need to recite (背) the textbooks any more. Instead， it shows how much students really understand about the textbook. It may mean we need to spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book exam means going deeply into the textbooks.

Sun：

We need a long time to learn for history and politics exams because there are so many things to remember. And sometimes the results are not very good， even if we have spent a long time studying. But if we are able to take textbooks into our exams， we will save time and we won’t have so many headaches.

Tang (teacher)：

Open-book tests are harder for students because the tests make them feel they do not need to understand the textbooks any longer. They only depend on the textbooks and spend most of their time looking for answers during exams. Sometimes they might not even be able to finish their tests because they have wasted too much time looking for answers.

1．Who thinks open-book exams are easier for students?
A．Sun and Hill. B．May and Tang.
C．May and Sun. D．Tang and Hill.
2．According to the passage， students ________ today.
A．like to learn history and politics by heart
B．have so many burdens in their school life

D．are not clever， so they need open-book exams

A．the time for tests is too short for them
B．there are so many things to remember
C．they waste time learning the answers by heart
D．they don’t understand the textbooks very well
4．Hill thinks that open-book exams mean “________”.
A．students do not need to recite the textbooks any more
B．how much students really understand about textbooks
C．students will save time and they won’t have headaches
D．students needn’t learn so many things by heart any more

18、 Every day of the week has its own color. Here’s what colors days show.
Monday is like a white paper for you to picture anything you want. On Monday almost everyone chooses to close their mouth to be silent and wait for something. So it’s white.
Tuesday is light gray. As you might have already guessed, Tuesday is more interesting than the first day of the week. It means that the white paper starts getting some colors on it.
Wednesday is red because you’re in the middle to start an exciting weekend. You should meet friends and have fun together on the day. So this day is with colorful activities.
