“But he can't see, he's blind!”

“Remember Gertie, the bird we saved?” I asked.
“Yes,” Lila nodded.“ I remember Gertie.”

Lila 6 again.
“Even though it had broken her wing; even though you wanted to hold onto her; even though she was disabled too in a way, and we were 7 she might not make it, we still let her test her wings.”
“Yes.”
“And she did come back, didn't she? Not only that spring, but for several springs, and a couple of falls, too.”
“But never to stay.”
“No. Never to stay,” I agreed. “And that's the 8 it is with children too, once they're grown and gone.”
There were tears in Lila's eyes again, but her voice was firm(坚定的) as she stood up.

13、The colour systems used by scientists and artists are completely different. An artist will mix blue and yellow paint to get a shade of green; a scientist will mix green and red light to create yellow. The printed page in a magazine is yet another system.
Scientists recognize the light primaries(原色) are red, green and blue. When mixed, red and green light rays produce yellow, blue and green produce cyan, red and blue produce magenta. Red, green and blue mix to create white light. This colour model is used in computer monitors, television sets and theaters.

15、阅读理解。
HIGH (Human Growth Hormone) could be the favorite drug at the next athletic world championships, and we might never know it. It is a natural substance(物质) produced by the human body, and it helps children’s bones and muscles(肌肉) to grow. Scientists are allowed to make the drug and it is also legal to take HGH in most countries. HGH is considered a wonder drug for children. It helps many children with growth problems every year.
However, some athletes are now taking the drug. HGH helps add muscle in adults and recent research by the World Anti-Doping Agency shows that HGH may improve the sportsman’s time by 5% when he takes part in short, fast races. Some athletes say that HGH surely makes them stronger. It also helps them to recover(恢复) more quickly from injuries.
Although it isbannedby most professional sports, HGH is almost impossible to test for. The drug is completely natural and it will only show in tests for around 24 hours after taking it. Testing is usually done only during competitions, but athletes use HGH during training, so it is very difficult to know who has used the drug. This makes it very attractive for some athletes. Scientists are developing a new test which will find the drug in the body for up to two weeks. But it isn’t going to be easy. Everybody has different levels of natural HGH in their body.
For this reason, scientists are warning athletes of the possible problems with the drug. Research shows that HGH increase the risk of cancer. But is this enough to stop athletes from taking it? Scientists don’t think so. Some athletes will do all they can to win, and worry about their health later.
1．Which of these statements is WRONG?
A．HGH is a natural substance.
B．HGH is needed to help bones and muscles grow.
C．HGH is used as medicine for children.
D．HGH is not allowed to be produced in many countries.
2．The second paragraph tells you that ____.
A．some athletes believe HGH can help them do better.
B．HGH is mainly taken by some scientists.
C．research shows that HGH is effective in 5% of athletes.
D．HGH doesn’t have any effect on performance.
3．Besides making them stronger, why is taking HGH attractive for some athletes?
A．Because it can be taken during a competition.
B．Because it is very difficult to test.
C．Because it is allowed to take it.
D．Because it works for 24 hours.
4．The underlined word “banned” in the third paragraph means ____.
A．支持 B．赞成
C．禁止 D．忽视
5．Scientists are afraid that ____.
A．some athletes will pay no attention to the dangers of using HGH.
B．there isn’t any risk of developing cancer as a result of taking HGH.
C．health problems caused by HGH will stop athletes from taking it.
D．athletes’ results are almost the same, so they want HGH to help them be the best.

16、“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.
Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!”
But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”
After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.
Luckily, Dan’s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.
“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons’ rooms.
“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother’s arms.
“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny. And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day.”
Some years later, Rover came to Maggie’s home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.”
1．Who rowed Maggie to land safely?

17、 Long long ago people made fires（火）from lightning（闪电）. But they had to keep the fires burning（燃烧）, for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stones（石头）together could make a spark（火花）. The spark could fire dry leaves（树叶）. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing（摩擦）. They made a hole on a big piece of wood（木头）and put a smaller stick（树枝）into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat（热）from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries（世纪）ago，people began to make matches（火柴）. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them i
