   Seeing this, the fish got worried. They didn’t want to become food.

   This wisest fish among them said, “We must find another pond and leave quickly.” While one fish agreed, the other didn't’ want to leave. He felt that this pond was their home and he had many good memories there. He said, “We shouldn’t be afraid of them, for this pond is our home.”

   The other two fish tried hard to make their friend leave, but they failed. So they made a decision to part ways and leave for a new pond. On the following day, when the fishermen arrived, they caught all the fish in the pond and took them home for delicious meal.

   It’s easy to just get fast food when you’re hungry. But it can also be unhealthy. So I made healthy food at home for five day instead of having fast food.

Day 2: Trying new things

I cooked healthy vegetable noodles. I was surprised by how good they were.

For breakfast, I had a banana sandwich. Don’t let the term “sandwich” cheat you. The banana actually works as the “bread” for this breakfast.

Day 4: At-home burrito(墨西哥玉米饼)

I made myself a burrito. I used tomatoes, beans and some other vegetables. What a great meal!

Yellow Dress

By Janet Lee

Mary had a yellow dress

Bought from the department store

It looked as beautiful as the moon

And as bright as the sun.

Mary wore all the time

The yellow dress

I felt so right.

Every day from day to night

I saw her in the dress so bright.

"Buy me a yellow dress "

I cried to Mom and Dad

"As beautiful and bright

As the dress the girl living near has!"

I cried and cried and cried

Until they said with sad eyes

"We need food for your baby sister

And clothes for your coming brother."

Since then I've learned

Mary's yellow dress Is better to dream of

Than to ask for.

A. classmates    B. relatives    C. neighbors    D. sisters

   In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three of them. They carried out the lastest Shenzhou XIII mission. Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there?

★ health important.

   To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example, a decayed tooth(龋齿) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts. You can’t have scars(伤疤) either. They may split in space, as Pang Zhihao a space scientist, told the Beijing Morning Post.

★     Become stronger with hard training

In China, you must be a great pilot before you can be an astronaut. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. You’ll start training when you become a backup(预备的) astronaut. It’s very difficult. For example, you need to build your muscles as strong as professional athletes by running, swimming and doing pull-ups. You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This a like doing tasks during a spacewalk.

★     Learn science

Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design, physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies happen during the mission. They can also do scientific experiments in space.

56. Who is NOT part of the Shenzhou XIII mission?

A. Zhai Zhigang   B. Yang Liwei    C. Wang Yaping   D. Ye Guangfu

57. What might happen if astronauts have a decayed tooth in space? 

A. They might have heart problems.     B. Their decayed tooth might become worse.

C. Their good teeth might split.      D. They will have scars in their mouth.

58. What training should an astronaut take?

A. Flying an airplane for about 600 hours.    B. Playing sports against professional athletes.

C. Wearing a special suit and doing tasks underwear. D. Practicing spacewalks for six or seven hours every day.

59. What should astronauts do to deal with the possible problems in space?

A. They take courses to learn things like math and science. B. They can design space crafts themselves.

C. They make sure there will be no emergencies.   D. They do scientific experiments on earth.

60. What is this passage mainly about?

A. How astronauts stay healthy in space.    B. Why becoming an astronaut is difficult.

C. What astronauts do in space.      D. How people can become astronauts.

   On Monday Derek and Janey got to school early. They slipped into the classroom and took the trousers out of the bag. They saw the oil from the bus and the dirt from Derek’s garden. They saw the glue and the green paint. They looked at each other and sighed, “We have to do it,” said Janey. “We have to tell the truth.” Then they put the trousers back on the hanger and went off to look for Mr. Such. They found him in the hall.

   “Janey, Derek,” said Mr. Such with a smile. “What’s all this?” “It’s your suit, Mr. Such,” Janey said bravely. “We have got something to tell you. ” But before she could say another word, Mrs. Venn burst into the ball and grabbed Mr. Such by his arm. “Chips! Chips!” she screamed. “No, thank you, Mrs. Venn, ” said Mr. Such. “It’s too early in the morning for chips. ” “No, no, Mr. Such. The chips in the kitchen! They’re on fire!” “What?” Mr. Such hurried over to the kitchen doors and pushed them open. A cloud of blue smoke rolled into the hall.

   “My word!” he said, and backed away again. “Chuck some water on it, sir!” squeaked Derek. “You can’t do that,” said Mr. Such. “Water will make it worse. I need a clothes or something to smother the flames.” Then he saw the suit dangling on its hanger from Janey’s finger. “I think there’s only one thing for it, Mr. Such,” said Janey, and Mr. Such grabbed the suit. Of course the suit was ruined. It turned into a mangled mess of smoke and grease. Janey tried to tell Mr. Such about the green stains and how they tried to clean them off. But Mr. Such didn’t really listen. “Never mind, ” he kept saying. “Never mind about that.”

Mr. Such was the hero of the hour so he was rather pleased with himself. The head promised him another brand new suit and he was pleased with that, too. “Jolly good,” said Mr. Such. “I can get a nice, bright white one.” “Oh, don't’ do that, ” said Janey quickly. “”Why ever not? “Well, we think green would suit you better, don’t we, Derek?” “Much better, ” Derek nodded. “We think green’s a lovely color.”
