My friend keeps copying my look, but I like looking special.
What should I do?—Ann

The important thing is to tell your friend the truth without hurting her feelings. To do that, you can talk to her using kind words and not feeling angry. You can offer her your advice on popular dressing or even suggest wearing clothes that go together. This way you’ll still look like each other, but not twins!
My room is always messy.
No matter what I do, I can’t keep it clean!—Mike
Here are some great ways to make your room a bit tidier. Start by picking up things you don’t use or want anymore. You can give them away to those in need. Less things means less mess! Then, try to make it a habit to put away things after you use them. Done with your sports shoes for the day? Back where they should be. Finally, set a timer for five minutes each night to clean any mess!
I’m sad because I have to go to a summer camp.
I just want to have a summer like my friends. Help me out!—Jessie
We’re sorry you’re feeling this way! The best thing to do is to look at things on the bright side. There, a new group of kids will become your friends. They’ll know exactly how you feel and help you. What’s more, going to a summer camp doesn’t mean a terrible summer. You’ll still have fun in the sun with your friends. The only question is, what are you guys going to do together?

Come on, Amy. You must TRY HARDER. Amy told herself silently. She was in her class’ Second-Day-of-School Game with her teammates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends, and she was nervous.
So far Amy hadn’t given any useful suggestions—after all, she was totally new to this town. Luckily, no one seemed to care about it. This relaxed her a lot.
Since the Blue Team left the park, they had worked out the first two clues (线索) and had been to the post office. Now they were in front of the cinema.
Henry was reading aloud the third clue: Go to our town founder’s last resting place.
I know THIS ONE! Amy thought, excited.
“To the cemetery (墓地)” Cindy said.
“No, wait!” Amy said. “I’ve read about it. The founder was buried near the library.”
“Wow. I’ve walked by every day,” Tyler said. “Never knew that!”
“Good job! That will save valuable time, ” Cindy smiled at Amy.
“We still need to hurry,” Tyler reminded, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near.
“I know a shortcut!” Henry suggested. “Follow me!” No one moved.
“No, seriously,” Henry said. “You know I’m always running late. I know every shortcut in town.” The others finally agreed.
A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around!
“The football stadium!” They called out together and started to run…
Now they’d got the final clue: Look where you’ve been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you’ll be a star!
Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard.
“Aha! A star!” Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil.
As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood.
They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team!
“So…close…” Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together.
“Nice job, new girl,” Cindy gave Amy a high-five.
“That was really fun,” said Henry. “I hope we’ll be on the same team soon.”
“Me, too,” Amy agreed, smiling.

29. What does the beginning of the story tell us about Amy?
A. She didn’t want to play the game. B. She was a new student in her class.
C. She was a member of the Red Team. D. She didn’t understand the game rules.
30. Why did the team let Henry lead the way at last?
A. He ran fastest in the team. B. They didn’t know the way.
C. They trusted his rich experience. D. He was best at playing the game.
31. Where was the finish line of the game?
A. In the park. B. Next to the post office.
C. In front of the cinema. D. Outside the library.
32. Why did Amy smile at the end of the story?
A. Her team came in first. B. She was accepted as a friend.
C. She no longer felt nervous. D. There would be a game soon.
(C)
Computer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?
For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don’t need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.
Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.
To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave’s robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!
33. Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?
A. It will become more beautiful. B. It can do better in lifting things.
C. It will pay more attention to children. D. It can better communicate with people.
34. What does the underlined word “creepy” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Uncomfortable to look at. B. Impossible to touch.
C. Boring to talk to. D. Difficult to understand.
35. Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?
A. People should treat robots as humans.
B. Robots need to express their own feelings.
C Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.
D. People can easily accept robots with a human face.
36. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.
B. To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.
C. To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.
D. To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.
(D)
People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?
Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.
Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.
So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.
As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.
37. Why did dictionary writers read important books?
A. To know more about the period. B. To collect words and their uses.
C. To understand different subjects. D. To learn to use interesting words.
38. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?

A. ①-③-④-② B. ①-②-④-③ C. ③-④-②-① D. ③-①-④-②
39. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?
A. It should be done by historians. B. It was a task of inventing and recording.
C. It was long-time hard work. D. It had to use the law-making rules.
40. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?
A. Be open to the new uses of words. B. Follow the dictionary strictly.
C. Use online dictionaries instead. D. Try to create new words.
