When the chickens arrived the next day, they were all in a box. Mary took the box off the truck(卡车)and began to carry it into her garden, but the box of chickens was so heavy that she dropped it.
The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Mary spent hours in trying to find them.
A few hours later her uncle came. He asked, “Did the chickens arrive safely?” “Yes, but I dropped the box. The chickens ran everywhere. It took me the whole morning to look for them,” Mary said.

Read people’s character（性格） from their ears
The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older. But ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a very good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly), small ears was very dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical（有音乐天赋的）.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached（附上……的） to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he / she just has high blood pressure（血压）. Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous（神经紧张的） character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.
6. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ______.
A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears
7. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the size of the ears B. musical ears
C. ears are related to characters D. our faces and ears
8. From the passage, we know _____ change shape as we get older.
A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth
9. We can guess Beethoven（贝多芬） may have ______.
A. pale ears B. white ears
C. small ears C. a big inside hole of the ear
10. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ______.
A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder
C

Many things can make summer great: swimming, camping, and the World Cup! The 20th FIFA World Cup will take place in Brazil from June 13 to July 14. Get ready for it!
People around the world love football. The sport is very easy and cheap to play. All you need is a ball. Anyone or any country, rich or poor, can play it. A small or poor country like Ghana could never beat the US at the Olympics. But they can send the US home at the World Cup.
In countries like Brazil and England, football is so popular that it has become part of their culture. People there will be very happy and proud if their national team wins the World Cup. This summer thousands of England fans will go to cheer for their team in Brazil, even though the trip could cost each of them 10,000 pounds!

答案与解析：
I. 单项选择。
1. B. 在否定句中表示“也”要用either，肯定句表示“也”要用too。它们都放在句子的末尾。
2. B。在动词mind的后面用动名词形式作宾语，在回答Would you mind doing something?的时候，如果表示不介意用Certainly not；如果表示介意用Sorry, you’d better not.
3. C。从句子的意思可知，用think of 表示“认为、觉得怎么样”。
4. B。在动词enjoy的后面用动名词形式作宾语。
5. A。修饰不定代词的形容词要放在不定代词的后面。
6. D。“agree with sb.”意思是“同意某人的意见”；故本题选D。
7. C。句意为“她爸爸喜欢Sports World，但她妈妈不喜欢。”，由此可知，本句时态是一般现在时，因为前后两句主语均是第三人称单数，故答案是C。
8．C。 hope to do sth. 意为“希望做某事”，为固定用法。
9．C。 根据题干的第二句可推知，这本书很无聊，故排除A、B两项。boring用来修饰或描述物；bored用来修饰或描述人，故选C。
10．D。be famous for 意为“因……而出名”为固定搭配。
11．A。本句为there be 句型，首先排除C、D两项，news为不可数名词，故be动词用is，故选A。
12．C。doesn’t 和can’t 后都要跟动词原形，故选C。
13．B。题干想要表达的是“或许”的意思，C、D两项无此意思，may be 在句中作谓语，题干中并不缺少谓语，故可排除；maybe 是副词，做状语，符合要求。
14．D。 expect sb. to do sth．意为“盼望某人做某事”，为固定用法。
15．C。 根据答语的第二句中的but可推知，回答者不喜欢看肥皂剧。故选C。
