"You are a pretty Polly." Every day the man spoke new words to the parrot. “Hello.” he said to it, and then, “Good-bye.”One day the parrot was not in its cage. It was flying in the room. The man came into the room and saw the parrot. "What are you doing?" he asked.＂What are you doing?" the parrot repeated.The man laughed. Then he put the parrot into the cage and went out to visit his friends.That evening, a thief came to the house. He walked around the house and looked into the windows. There was no one at home. The thief broke the door and entered the house. First, he went into the sitting room, he found some bowls and vases and put them in a bag. Then he found a golden watch and some money in the bedroom. He put these into the bag, too. He stole many things from the house and put them into his bag. The bag was soon full. The thief put it over his shoulder and walked to the door. He opened the door and looked. There was no one there. Suddenly a voice said, "What are you doing?" Hearing this, the thief jumped high into the air and dropped his bag. Quickly he ran out of the house.＂What are you doing?" the voice said again. "Pretty Polly. Hello. Goodbye. What are you doing?"26.

Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar(相似的) to.For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on Aug 8, 2008.The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.So what’s an unlucky number in China? One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.29 What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?A. The shape of the number. B. The sound of the number.C . The history of the number. D. The spelling of the number.30.A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have ________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers.A．35 B．44 C．50 D．6031.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is best?(①=Paragraph 1  ②=Para. 2  ③=Para. 3   ④=Para. 4  ⑤=Para. 5  ⑥=Para. 6)A．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥ B．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥C．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ D．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥32.What is the story mainly about?A．Lucky and unlucky numbers in Western culture.B．Meanings of different lucky numbers.C．Meanings of different unlucky numbers. D．Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture. CI worked as a volunteer at a hospital at the age of sixteen. A year later, a little girl named Lisa lived in hospital because she had a very serious disease(疾病) and she was dying. The doctor had done his best to help the girl but no medicine really worked. There was an only chance(机会) to save her life. It was a blood transfusion(输血) from her brother who was only six years old and two years older than the little girl. The little boy had the same disease before. Luckily, his body developed the antibodies(抗体) and the antibodies fought against the disease. The boy was saved.The doctor talked to the boy about his sister and asked him if he agreed to give his blood to his sister. The little boy was worried about his sister. He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I do.” During the blood transfusion, the little boy said nothing and lay in bed next to his sister. He looked at his sister and smiled. In the end, when he saw his sister’s face turn a little red, his smile disappeared and became afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, “Will I begin to die now?” The doctor understood his feelings and was touched. He said, “You are a brave child. You will not die because of this and your sister is saved because of you.”This brave and kind-hearted boy was too young to understand the doctor’s words.

Thank you for attending the meeting. I’m Li Yuan, the President of the Students’ Union. Today I’d like to talk about how to use computers properly.Nowadays, nearly everyone at home has a computer. It makes our life more convenient, but it also causes some problems.On one hand, there are some advantages. People can use computers to do many things, such as watching videos, sending messages and pictures, and so on. Besides, it is convenient for us to keep in touch with family members and friends on computers. What’s more, we can have online classes with a computer.On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. Some students spend too much time playing computer games instead of studying.  It is bad for their health and study. In addition, people talk less to others when they use their computers for too long.How to use computers properly? In my opinion, we should control the time of using it. Also, we should take a rest and do some exercise after using it for half an hour.Let’s make good use of computers together.
