Dear Grandma,
How are you? I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your neighbour, Mrs. Lu. bringing you enough books to read? 1 hope so. You’d love our school library, Grandma. There are so many books on all kinds of subjects. The other day I found a book about engineering (工程学) . I couldn’t really understand it but I hope to learn more about this topic sometime. This term I have some new subject classes, so I think I’ll tell you about them.
I study biology. It is a very interesting subject. I’m learning all about the human body, where everything is and what it does. Did you know that we have a kissing muscle? It s called “orbicularis” and it’s a circle muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It’s so interesting! Another new subject is religion (宗教). I didn’t think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to hear how different people worship (崇拜) . We are learning about lots of religions from all over the world, not only Asia. My other new subject is Spanish. It’s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful for me in the future, if I want to travel around the world.
Spanish (西班牙语) is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I’ve learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish, it would be really useful.
Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn’t it? I’ll come to visit you again in the next holiday , which I think is in eight weeks’ time. I’ll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.
Lots of love,
Sara

B
Elsie Eiler is the head of Monowi, a tiny town in northern Nebraska, USA, and that isn’t her only job. She is also the town secretary, the town treasurer, the librarian, and she works in the cafe. Why has she got a lot of different jobs? Because there’s nobody else to do them. Monowi has got a population of one Elsie.
Monowi is an unusual sight. There are about twelve old wooden houses there. They are all empty and are surrounded by a few trees, several old cars and lots of rubbish. The town is silent. An old yellow school bus, with no wheels or seats, stands next to the small school. The school closed 40 years ago. Opposite Elsie’s cafe is an old building, filled with rubbish. It was a shop but it closed in the 1950s.
The busiest time for Monowi was in the 1930s. Then, the population was 150, and was made up of mostly farmers and their families. There was a railway too. However, the farmers couldn’t compete (竞争) with the large industrialized (工业化的) farms, and left the town to look for other work. In 1971, the railway closed and the town began to die. Three years ago, the last people that lived there, except Elsie’s family, moved away. Then, Elsie’s husband died, and then her son and daughter left to find work in bigger towns, leaving Elsie the only person in the town.
___4___ Her food is good, her beer is cold, and farmers and truck drivers travel a long way to eat at her cafe. “One day Monowi will just be memories, and it will probably turn to dust,” she says. “But I like it, and as long as I can take care of myself, I will stay here.”
( )1. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Elsie Eiler?
A. She is the only person living in Monowi. B. She has a good time living in Monowi.
C. She can do different kinds of jobs. D. She will leave Monowi soon.
( )2. Mostly ______ and their families lived in Monowi in the 1930s.
A. railway workers B. shopkeepers C. truck drivers D. farmers
( )3. The article tells us about Monowi EXCEPT ______ .
A. what it looks like B. whether there is train there
C. when people first lived there D. why people started to leave it
( )4. Which of the following can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph?
A. Elsie believes Monowi will have a bright future. B. Now Elsie wishes her kids to return to Monowi.
C. Elsie will leave Monowi in a couple of years. D. Now Elsie lives alone but she isn’t lonely.
C
A few years ago, I worked at a church(教堂). Since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local store, and get a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.
The clerk(店员) at the store made our lives more enjoyable each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’m not even sure if she realized that her warmth and brightness put a smile upon the face of each customer(顾客).
When a customer brought cakes to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cakes?” Instead, she asked:“Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cakes?”
She might have asked me if I wanted sugar with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”
Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.
Sometimes, if my day at the church had been very tiring, we’d stop at that store before going home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us.
“Would you like some shampoo (洗发香波) with that orange juice?”
( )1. What did the writer do a few years ago?
A. She was a teacher in a school. B. She was an office worker.
C. She was a doctor in a hospital. D. She was a worker at a church.
( )2. When did the writer and her son usually stop at the local store?
A. In the morning. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. In the evening.
( )3. Why did the writer and her son return to the store again and again?
A. Because the drinks were delicious there. B. Because the food was cheap there.
C. Because they felt happy there. D. Because there was only one store.
( )4. What was the clerk like?
A. She was serious. B. She was lively. C. She was nervous. D. She was silly.
( )5. The clerk at the store may ask the customers, “_________”
A. Would you like some milk with the cakes? B. Would you like some bread with the milk?
C. Would you like batteries with the toys? D. Would you like pencils with the cake?
五、阅读专题----回答问题
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages(发短信) to your friends and family?
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling in our thumbs. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons over and over again. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10 - 15 minutes once, we could have problems in the future.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computer and mobile phones or playing video games. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
1. What is becoming very popular now according to the passage?
  ___________________________________________________________________________
2. Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the second passage?  
  ___________________________________________________________________________
3. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI?   （No more than 4 words）
  ___________________________________________________________________________
4. What can also cause RSI except（除了）texting?    （No more than 8 words）
  ___________________________________________________________________________ 
5. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile phones or larger ones?
  ___________________________________________________________________________
