Not long ago, my daughter's leather shoes were cut by a knife. She burst into tears. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young shoemaker took a look at the opening and said, “There is 31 I can do but change the leather.”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 32 me, I will add more cuts in the form of the special style and reuse.”
I didn't quite know why, but I decided to 33 the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 34 on each shoe, but all the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线). The shoes looked more special and interesting than ever, I couldn’t help 35 the master for his work.
Another time, my sister's white 36 had a large opening on the back. My wife took it over and checked 37 , and then said, “Let me take it home and repair it. Three days went past, and I was 38 to see it again: all the openings were sewed up by thin and 39 thread and they looked like the ice crystals (晶体) on winter’s branches (树枝) in the north. She 40 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It's just as beautiful as a piece of art.”
“I learned from the master. Patches (补丁) can be designed to look perfect,” replied my wife. Life will have wounds. Since you can't change that, you can cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound.

Dear Raymond,
I have a good friend. Her name is Daphne. I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry. When I have some nice snacks or other things, I will share them with her. But she never shares anything with me. And if I gently play jokes on her, she will shout at me.
What should I do? Can you help me?
Breda
Dear Breda,
It seems that your friend is o bit difficult to get along with. But there are two things for you to think about.
The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do. Do you know what her life is like at home? Her parents might fight with each other often. What do you know about her feelings? She might be upset or worried, and doesn't know who to turn to for help. These things can make people act in strange ways.
Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with (对待). How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. It is not an easy thing to do. But if her friendship is causing more harm (伤害) than good, then it might be something for you to think about.
Raymond
44. What does the underlined word “stingy” mean in Chinese?
A. 慷慨的 B. 小气的 C. 多疑的 D. 忙碌的
45. In Raymond's letter, what did he ask Breda to do?
A. Tell Daphne about her feelings. B. Make friends with Daphne's parents.
C. Stop being friends with Daphne right now. D. Try to find out why Daphne acts like that.
46. What can Breda learn from Raymond's letter?
A. Daphne is important. B. How to deal with friends.
C, Friendship hurts people. D. Choosing friends is difficult.
47. In which part of a newspaper will you see the letters?
A. Travelling B. Animal World C. Life of Students D. Sports Today

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK—“An Englishman's home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their bouses, such as painting the walls or punting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with n few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
48. How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage?
A. Making their homes beautiful. B. Visiting their friends.
C. Travelling all over the world. D. Making a lot of money.
49. Why do English people like DIY?
A. Many stores sell DIY things. B. DIY can bring them fun,
C. TV programs teach them to DIY. D. All DIY projects are easy.
50. What can we learn from the passage?
A. DIY is a waste of money. B. It is always difficult to DIY.
C. We should be careful while doing DIY. D. It's very safe for us to DIY.
51. In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means _____________.
A. we can eat everything we like B. we should do something difficult
C. we do something that is too difficult D. we eat too much food that is not safe
D
Farmer John and Former Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they were getting along very well.
Then their good relationship (关系) broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter (仇恨的) words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream (小溪) between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing at the doorway.
“I'm looking for a few days' work, "the carpenter said.
“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob. He dug (挖) a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence (栅栏)—an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched (伸出). “Hi, John! You're quite a guy to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. “I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other,” said Farmer Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I'd love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”
52. Why did farmer John think that Farmer Bob dug the stream?
A. Because they were neighbors. B. Because their good relationship broke.
C. Because they were getting along very well. D. Because they never had bitter words with each other.
53. Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because _____________.
A. he wanted to protect his farm B. he didn't want to do it himself
C. he wouldn't like to see Bob D. he wanted to find him something to do
54. What does the sentence “You're quite a guy to build this bridge!” mean?
A. John was not good at building bridges. B. John was great to build this bridge.
C. John was silly to build such a bridge. D. John should build the bridge earlier.
55. What is the best title for the passage?

Not long ago, my daughter's leather shoes were cut by a knife. She burst into tears. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young shoemaker took a look at the opening and said, “There is 31 I can do but change the leather.”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 32 me, I will add more cuts in the form of the special style and reuse.”
I didn't quite know why, but I decided to 33 the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 34 on each shoe, but all the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线). The shoes looked more special and interesting than ever, I couldn’t help 35 the master for his work.
Another time, my sister's white 36 had a large opening on the back. My wife took it over and checked 37 , and then said, “Let me take it home and repair it. Three days went past, and I was 38 to see it again: all the openings were sewed up by thin and 39 thread and they looked like the ice crystals (晶体) on winter’s branches (树枝) in the north. She 40 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It's just as beautiful as a piece of art.”
“I learned from the master. Patches (补丁) can be designed to look perfect,” replied my wife. Life will have wounds. Since you can't change that, you can cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound.

Dear Raymond,
I have a good friend. Her name is Daphne. I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry. When I have some nice snacks or other things, I will share them with her. But she never shares anything with me. And if I gently play jokes on her, she will shout at me.
What should I do? Can you help me?
Breda
Dear Breda,
It seems that your friend is o bit difficult to get along with. But there are two things for you to think about.
The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do. Do you know what her life is like at home? Her parents might fight with each other often. What do you know about her feelings? She might be upset or worried, and doesn't know who to turn to for help. These things can make people act in strange ways.
Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with (对待). How important is her friendship to you? Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. It is not an easy thing to do. But if her friendship is causing more harm (伤害) than good, then it might be something for you to think about.
Raymond
44. What does the underlined word “stingy” mean in Chinese?
A. 慷慨的 B. 小气的 C. 多疑的 D. 忙碌的
45. In Raymond's letter, what did he ask Breda to do?
A. Tell Daphne about her feelings. B. Make friends with Daphne's parents.
C. Stop being friends with Daphne right now. D. Try to find out why Daphne acts like that.
46. What can Breda learn from Raymond's letter?
A. Daphne is important. B. How to deal with friends.
C, Friendship hurts people. D. Choosing friends is difficult.
47. In which part of a newspaper will you see the letters?
A. Travelling B. Animal World C. Life of Students D. Sports Today

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK—“An Englishman's home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their bouses, such as painting the walls or punting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with n few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
48. How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage?
A. Making their homes beautiful. B. Visiting their friends.
C. Travelling all over the world. D. Making a lot of money.
49. Why do English people like DIY?
A. Many stores sell DIY things. B. DIY can bring them fun,
C. TV programs teach them to DIY. D. All DIY projects are easy.
50. What can we learn from the passage?
A. DIY is a waste of money. B. It is always difficult to DIY.
C. We should be careful while doing DIY. D. It's very safe for us to DIY.
51. In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means _____________.
A. we can eat everything we like B. we should do something difficult
C. we do something that is too difficult D. we eat too much food that is not safe
D
Farmer John and Former Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they were getting along very well.
Then their good relationship (关系) broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter (仇恨的) words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream (小溪) between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing at the doorway.
“I'm looking for a few days' work, "the carpenter said.
“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob. He dug (挖) a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence (栅栏)—an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched (伸出). “Hi, John! You're quite a guy to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. “I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other,” said Farmer Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I'd love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”
52. Why did farmer John think that Farmer Bob dug the stream?
A. Because they were neighbors. B. Because their good relationship broke.
C. Because they were getting along very well. D. Because they never had bitter words with each other.
53. Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because _____________.
A. he wanted to protect his farm B. he didn't want to do it himself
C. he wouldn't like to see Bob D. he wanted to find him something to do
54. What does the sentence “You're quite a guy to build this bridge!” mean?

C. John was silly to build such a bridge. D. John should build the bridge earlier.
55. What is the best title for the passage?
