He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money was lost from the bank, others believed O. Henry took it. So people sent him to prison﹡. He stayed in prison for three years. There he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and went on writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because they always finished with a sudden change at the end, to the reader's surprise﹡.

What is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn﹡? You want to yawn, too! Yawning is contagious.

Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. That's why scientists think yawning is contagious.

It’s no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure.

Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Others believe yawning has something to do with breathing﹡. When there is too much carbon dioxide(CO2) in our bodies, our bodies will tell the brains﹡to breathe deeply. That causes a big yawn.

In 2007, scientists said people yawned to cool down their brains. These scientists found people yawned more often if they were warmer than others.

Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, immediately everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.

43. The underlined word "contagious" in Paragraph 1 means__________.

A. helpful to our health    B. passing from one person to another

C. hard to understand    D. getting into one trouble after another

44. According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are__________.

A. born    B. one year old    C. 17 or 19 years old    D. inside their mothers

45. Which of the following is NOT RIGHT according to the passage? __________

A. People yawn to catch others' attention.    B. People yawn because they are bored.

C. People yawn to cool down their brains.    D. People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide.

46. We can probably read this passage in a__________.

A. story book    B. movie poster    C. science magazine    D. travel guidebook

D

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always sent me to a store with a long shopping list. How could I hope to find all these things? In the store, there was a tall lady with black glasses on her nose. There wasn’t a smile on her face.

“Excuse me,” I said. She looked down and said, “I’m Miss Bee.”

“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go to get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to some shelves﹡. “There’s no one here, only you and me, so get yourself a basket and get all these things yourself.”

That summer I visited Miss Bee twice a week. Sometimes she gave me wrong change﹡. One afternoon I corrected her, “That bag of beans is only twenty-nine cents!”She just looked at me over her glasses and changed the price. Going to the store was more like going into battle﹡. I got into the store just like General Patton getting into North Africa.

Soon I learned how to find the product on the shelf… At the end of the summer, the shopping trip only took me 15 minutes. Before I left, I stopped in the store to get some candy.

“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” Before I could answer. Miss Bee laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don’t care! My job is to teach every child some life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad you ever met Miss Bee. Haha!...”

I didn’t think of her words. Years passed, one day my daughter came to me with her homework. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”

“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store and I knew what I learned from the old lady that summer.

47. What did the writer’s grandmother always ask her to do during her summer vacation? ____

A. Make lists for her shopping.    B. Buy something in a store.

A. She got all the things herself.    B. Miss Bee helped her a lot.

C. She asked someone for help.    D. She shopped with her grandmother.

49. By telling the writer to shop herself, Miss Bee wanted her to know_________.

A. helping others is helping herself    B. there’s no free lunch in the world

C. she can ask for help when she needs    D. she can’t always get help from others

六、Dear Tina,

I’m so glad you are coming to my hometown. Wenzhou is really beautiful all year round, especially in winter. It’s sunny most of the time although it may be a little cold in February. The temperature always stays above zero, so don’t worry about the weather. I suggest you bring some sweaters. Don’t forget to bring a jacket.

There is a lot to see and to eat around Wenzhou. Most families have cars, and shared bikes are everywhere on the streets. Taking buses is also a good way to travel around.

As you know, Spring Festival is important for Chinese. It falls in January or February. All Chinese people have a holiday. Families usually get together and have a big dinner on the eve of Spring Festival. There are many kinds of traditional food for the festival. After dinner, people enjoy the Spring Gala on TV. It’s fantastic!

I hope this may help.

Yours,

Li Ming
