When I was in Grade8, I had an argument(争吵) with my classmate, Tony. I will never forget the lesson I learned that day.

I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right.Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn't believe my eyes. How could he say the object was white? “Clearly, it was black!" Another argument started between Tony and me,this time about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing.We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides--from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now,what do you say?”The teacher smiled at us. Tony became my best friend from then on.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you'd better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.

45..How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in paragraph 2?

    A.Surprised       B.Pleased         C.afraid         D.Thankful

46.Why did the writer give two different answers?

   A. Because he was unfriendly to Tony.        B. Because he changed his place with Tony.

   C.Because he wanted to have another argument.  D.Because he turned around the object.

47..What would the writer probably do after this lesson?.

    A. He would forget the arguments.        B. He might shake hands with Tony.

    C. .He would sit in the front of the class.   D. He might listen to the teacher carelessly

48..Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Great minds think the same            B. Many hands make light work

C.Look at things in another way          D.There's no smoke without fire

C

    A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Dad, Mum, Mary, Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. They drove away and left it lonely and empty in the clearing among the big trees, and they never saw that little house again. They were going to the Indian country. Dad said there were too many people in the Big Woods now. The path that went by the little house had become a road. Almost every day Laura and Mary stopped their playing and watched in surprise at a wagon(四轮马车)slowly passing by on the road.

      Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Dad did not like to stay, either. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid. He liked to see little fawns(小鹿) and their mothers looking at him from the woods, and the fat, lazy bears eating berries(浆果) in the wild-berry lands. In the long winter evenings he talked to Mum about the Western country. In the west the land was level, and there were no trees. The grass grew thick and high. There the wild animals ran and fed as though they were in a grass and there were no settlers. only Indians lived there.

49. Where did Dad want to move?

    A. The Indian country.     B. The Big Woods of Wisconsin.

   C. Some people built a road instead of a path for Laura’s family.

   D. There were too many wild animals in the Big Woods now.

51. What did Laura and Mary stop to watch in surprise every day?

    A. The little fawns and their mothers.

    B. The fat, lazy bears.

    C. A wagon slowly passing by on the road.

    D. The wild animals walking around.

    B. Dad wanted to live a free life.
