Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar,it is also delicious. Most people,and many animals,like eating it However,the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often，these nests are high up in trees,and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper -- a little bird called a honey guide

The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?

A.It's small in size.       B.It's hard to recognize.

C.It's covered with wax.    D.It's hidden in trees.

2.What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.A bee.     B.A honey seeker.

C.A bird.    D.A beekeeper.

3.The honey guide is special in the way ________.

A.it goes to church        B.it gets its food

C.it sings in the forest   D.it reaches into bees' nests

B

The best way to cure sadness is not shopping, according to a recent study. The so-called shopping method has become common practice these days, but that can put your wallet under a lot of pressure. So if you are sad and feel like shopping, don’t!                                  

According to the recent study, sadness leads to self-focus (自我为中心的) thinking. In other words, sad people are willing to spend more money on the same thing than calm people.        "It is the result of sadness and self-focus, and it turns out that sadness leads to an increase in self-focus," said Cynthia Cruder. "What we think is that sad and self-focused people are feeling pretty bad about themselves, and one way to deal with this is buying material goods."

In a perfect situation, when you know you are sad, you should avoid(避免) making decisions and spending money. Sounds simple? Sadly, it is not. Most people don’t even know they’re sad, the study shows, and they are not aware that their feelings influence their decisions.

What to do? The study showed that those who watched a tragedy(悲剧) were more likely to spend three times more money for a simple bottle of water than those who watched a comedy. The solution: well, for starters, don’t go shopping! If you can’t help it, it is probably better to see a doctor.

4.When you can’t help shopping after feeling sad, you’d better _______.

A. talk to your friends   B. go to the store directly

C. go to bed and rest     D. go to hospital and get checked out by a doctor

5.We can learn from the passage that________.

A. sad and self-focused people are poor

B. sad people make important decisions easily

C. tragedies may make people buy more expensive goods

D. sad people are less confident than calm people

6.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Loss of Money Caused by Sadness

B. Shopping is Not the Best Way to Cure Sadness

C. A Study About How to Stay in a Good Mood

D. How to Make Decisions When You Are Sad

C

You are what you eat
     Keeping better eating habits can help you reduce (减少) disease. A healthy eating plan means choosing the right foods to eat and preparing foods in a healthy way.

 _______________________
     Do you often change your toothbrush? Maybe you think it is not necessary. A study shows old toothbrushes bring disease. You should often change your toothbrush.
Exercise

Swimming, running, skating, skiing, dancing, walking and some other activities can help you stay healthy. You should exercise at least three times a week and for twenty minutes or more each time. Do it.
Plan out your life
     You should have breakfast before you go to school. Have a proper (合适的) meal for lunch. Follow a healthy diet.
7.What's the passage mainly about?
A.Healthy food.   B.Healthy lifestyle (生活方式).
C.Junk food.      D.Healthy sports.
8.What is the best title (标题) for the second paragraph?
A.Man's disease            B.Disease
C.Watch the toothbrush    D.Your bathroom
9.At least how long should you exercise each time?
A.Twenty minutes.     B.Fifteen minutes.

II. Creativity

True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it._____ 13.There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.

III. Personal skills

Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 14._____ “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”

VI. Self Expression
