It was a warm spring afternoon. Three boys, Mike, Sam and Ned, went out to play in nature. With the fine weather and the broad field, they ran freely and had a really good time.

As they sat down to rest for a short time, they heard a bird singing.

“How well it sings!” said Mike.

“It must be quite close to us, I think,” said Sam.

“I would like to see it,” said Ned.

“There it is,” said Sam, “so you can fulfil your wish, then.”

“Where?” said Mike, and up he sprang(跳), just in time to see the bird as he rose higher in the air. It was a little beautiful bird covered with colorful feathers. It made Mike think of the beautiful rainbow.

Just then, Mike saw that Ned had a small stone in his hand. Mike thought that he meant to throw the stone at the bird. So Mike said, “Ned, do you mean to throw that stone at the bird?”

“Yes, why not? What harm would there be?” said Ned, “I want you to see how well I can aim.”

“Shame on you, Ned!” said Mike, “Put down the stone. Why do you want to kill the bird that sings such a sweet song to us? If you like, I will soon show you that I can aim as well as you can. But I won’t let you do such bad thing.” Hearing this, Ned looked at the singing bird and then hung his head in shame. He took a step back, putting down the stone.

One afternoon, a man asked his wife what she’d like for her birthday. “I’d really love to be ten again,” she replied hopefully.

On the morning of her birthday, the husband got up early, made her a nice breakfast and then took her to the amusement park. He put her on every ride in the park—the Slide, the Roller Coaster (过山车) and the Wall of Fear. They tried everything in the park.

When they went out of the park four hours later, she felt tired and hungry. Right away, they hurried to a McDonald’s for lunch. Her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with a chicken hamburger and a large cup of milk shake.

Then they were off to the cinema to see the latest movie, complete with a hot dog, popcorn, a big drink and a huge bag of M&M’s, her favorite sweets.

After that, the husband drove his heavy wife to the biggest store in the city. There he bought her several dolls that little girls like best.

It was a really busy day. The husband was so proud of what he did for his loving wife.

Finally she went home with her husband and threw herself into the sofa. He asked his loving wife with a big smile, “Well dear, what was it like being ten years old again?”

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. “You FOOL,” she replied a little angrily, “I meant my dress size.”

I made a new friend. Her name is Dominika Cebula. She didn’t want to see the boring road in her city so she tried to add some color to the streets—by turning a bus stop into a flower museum.

Cebula is a student studying art. She likes plants and nature. To make the bus stop near her home beautiful, the girl dried hundreds of flowers for a long time. She put them in big pieces of glass. Then people could enjoy them for longer. Many of the flowers were from her friends and family.

How did Cebula get this idea? “In nature, people won’t get angry and make noises. They usually feel calm and happy,” the art student said, “We love flowers, because they are presents in so many happy moments in our lives.”

After Cebula made it in her own way, the bus stop looked like a colorful flower museum. Many people took pictures of the flowers and enjoyed their beauty. They really make people feel happy and close to nature.

IX. 任务型阅读 (每小题2分，计10分)

    阅读下面短文，按要求完成66-70题。

Different weather makes people feel different. Weather influences health, intelligence and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in July and August, the hot months of the year.

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. They feel hot and get angry easily.

How interesting!
