Together they have an adventure in the city. However, Oliver knows that Patch’s owner must be very worried and missing Patch. What should Oliver do?
A Dance Like Starlight: One Ballerina’s Dream
This is a young girl’s story about how she wants to become a ballerina (芭蕾舞演员). She will do anything to make her dreams come true. She lives in a poor place, and it is very difficult. The young girl fights through a hard life, but she never gives up. This story comes from the true life of the first African-American ballerina, Janet Collins.

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault (过错) or not.
It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day.
As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. A research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say ”sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake of if someone knocked into them.
In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.
People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.
However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing (迷惑不解) and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every day.
( ) 34. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What daily expressions British people often use.
B. How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners.
C. The different meanings of sorry in and out of Britain.
D. Why British people say sorry many times every day.
( ) 35. In the old days, people said sorry when they _______.
A. did something wrong B. asked the way
C. wanted to repeat something D. made a choice
( ) 36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Americans say sorry more than British people.
B. Even British people get confused when they say sorry.
C. Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day.
D. The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others.
( ) 37. From the passage we can learn that British people _______.
A. like to talk about the weather B. care a lot about others
C. are difficult to get along with D. love to correct mistakes
C
For many years, scientists have known that laughing is good for the health of our minds and bodies. Now we are learning that it’s not just laughter. Having fun and playing are also good for us! Researchers have found that play is good for people of all ages. Play actually leads to the growth of more nerve connections in the brain and gives us more brain power.
Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities with them as they grow older.
Amy Whitcomb teaches maths at a school in San Francisco. For several years, she has used games to teach maths. In one class, students play a game with small bags of candy to figure out how many pieces in the bags are red. When they get the correct answer, they can eat the candy! Amy says, ”If it’s not fun, they’re not going to want to be there. They’re not going to want to learn.”
The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood (成人期). The famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them. Their motto is “Work hard. Play hard.” They know that people often get their best ideas when they are just ”playing around ” and let their imaginations go wild.
So next time you have to solve a difficult maths problem or can’t think of a topic for an article, take a short play break. Do a little dance, or play a quick game. Then come back to it. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what your brain can do.
( ) 38. The example of the company Google is given to show that _______.
A. play is also fit for adults B. everyone there works hard
C. they have a lot of toys and games D. it is very famous in the world
( ) 39. The underlined expression”figure out” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.
A. look after B. solve the problem of
C. draw a picture of D. play a joke on
( ) 40. According to the passage, you need to play if you _______.
A. want to make friends with others B. have to do some homework
C. fail to think of a topic for an article D. find a job in a big company
( ) 41. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. A maths lesson B. How children grow
C. The power of play D. Work hard, play hard
D
Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her ... until one day a letter arrived.
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope (信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read:
Dear Huw,
I don’t know if this letter will reach you, and I don’t really know why I’m writing to you after all these years, but ...
Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw:
Best wishes
Megan
He couldn’t believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:
... after all these years, but I’ve just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I’d read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father’s papers. They were never opened.
Huw, I never knew that you’d written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said “ ▲ , my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he’s dead now, so I can’t ask him. All I can say is I’m sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I’ll understand if you don’t want to write back to me, but if you do, I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.
Best wishes,
Megan
Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn’t. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had traveled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again …
“Are you all right, Dad?” asked Mike, coming into the room.
(Adapted from Two Lives by Helen Naylor)
( ) 42 Why did Huw turn to the end of the letter before he finished the rest of it?
A. Because he was not interested in the beginning.
B. Because he didn’t like to read letters from Megan.
C. Because he wanted to finish reading it in a short time.
D. Because he wanted to know whom the letter was from.
( ) 43. Megan failed to read Huw’s letters because _______.
A. her father kept them B. they were lost on the way
C. she moved to another city C. he didn’t post them at all
( ) 44. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ?
