 "I hate school, and I'm not going back!" Have you ever had that thought? Lots of kids have had. Usually this feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much?
        When you worry about school, it can affect your body. You may have a headache. Having trouble sleeping is also a sign of stress. And if you’re not getting enough sleep, you may feel unhappy and tired during the day. Feeling tired can make your school day seem even worse.
If you don’t like school, the first step is finding out why. You might not like school because someone causes you some trouble, or maybe you don’t get on well with your teachers or classmates and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy or too hard.       
It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems. Your mom, dad, friends, teachers, or even classmates will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school. For instance, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotion. If you can’t keep up with your school work, your teachers can help. Teachers want and expect you to ask for help. Try not to let the problems go on too long. It’s easier to catch up on one chapter(章) than the whole book!
( )51. When kids worry about school, they might not _________.
A. have headaches B. have trouble sleeping
C. feel unhappy and tired D. feel free and relaxed
( )52. If you don’t like school, the first step is to _________.
A. have a good rest B. let it go on

D. What to do when you hate your parents.

B. we don’t tell the problem to our friends
C. keeping a diary is a great way to let out emotions
D. teachers don’t expect students to ask for help

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.
Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been.
Space rubbish is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites（人造卫星）, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸) in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space rubbish.
Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
( )55. What is the greatest danger to spacemen in space?
A. Space rubbish. B. Radiation.
C. The Sun. D. Other stars.
( )56. What does the underlined word “these” refer to?
A. Man-made things B. Spacemen.
C. Dangers. D. Spaceships.
( )57. What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?
A. Space is dangerous.
B. The space in the future.
C. Space rubbish is dangerous.
D. People should visit space.
( )58. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to protect space.
B. The dangers in space.
C. How to avoid the dangers in space.
D. The success and dangers in space.

A person with a traditional skill
Mr. Li makes bamboo weavings from bamboo. He is short and a little fat with a round face. His hands are very rough because he works with bamboo all the time.
In Mr. Li’s work, only bamboo and knife are required. Mr. Li uses his hands to turn bamboo into different things, such as bamboo mats, bamboo baskets, bamboo sieves, and so on. These bamboo weavings are all very useful in people’s daily life.
I like Mr. Li’s bamboo weavings because I think his skill is amazing. I hope that one day I can learn to make bamboo weavings from Mr. Li.
