Tom and his best friend Rob were out of school for the summer. They had been swimming, gone to the movies, played video games, and even built a castle out of some old cardboard boxes. But today they were so bored. “At least we would have something to do.” Tom thought for a while and suggested, “Let’s make some popcorn and lemonade and sell it outside.”
The boys went to the kitchen and asked Tom’s mom if she would help them make some lemonade while they popped the popcorn. Tom’s mom got the lemons from the refrigerator and also a small amount of sugar. She mixed up the lemonade while the boys started popping the popcorn.
Tom and Rob got a small table from the garage and set it up near the sidewalk. They made a red sign telling everyone that popcorn and lemonade was for sale. The boys sat for about ten minutes before they got their first sale. Mrs. Jenkins, one of their neighbors, was walking her dog. “It’s so hot today.” “I sure can use a drink,” she said. Soon the boys were busy handing out popcorn to Mr. Baker. He was walking down the street sending the mail. “I need a break,” he said. “Walking all over the neighborhood gave me an appetite.”
The boys had only three popcorn bags left and enough lemonade for three more cups. “Wow, I didn’t think the popcorn and lemonade would sell that fast. We made six dollars,” said Tom. “If we get bored again before school starts, we can try selling more lemonade with cookies(饼干) next time,” laughed Rob.

核心考点
试题【Tom and his best friend Rob were out of school for the summer. They had been swi】;主要考察你对日常生活类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Nearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, they are bored. Their little brother is kicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜点). Yet their parents are still eating and talking…and talking…and talking.
“Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”
All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.
Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.
The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.
On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.
So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For others, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.
小题1:Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?
A.Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.
B.Because the dessert isn’t served in time.
C.Because they can do nothing but wait.
D.Because the food there isn’t delicious.
小题2:What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?
A.Children don’t like eating fancier food.
B.Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.
C.Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.
D.People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.
小题3:What conclusion can we draw from the research?
A.It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good food and play areas.
B.Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.
C.Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.
D.It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.
小题4:What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A.Cities need to help develop restaurant business.
B.Children are supposed to be much more patient.
C.Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.
D.Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.

My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai(傣族人) and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in bike riding too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, "Where are we going?" It was my sister who first had the idea to ride along the whole Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.

My sister has one serious shortcoming(缺点). She can be really stubborn(固执的). Although she didn"t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted(坚持) that she organize the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn"t; my sister doesn"t care about details(细节). So I told her that the source (源头)of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe(呼吸) and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.
Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From it we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qinghai Province. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.
小题1:Who planned the trip to the Mekong River?
A.Wang KunB.Wang WeiC.Dao WeiD.Yu Hang
小题2:The Mekong River  begins from________.

A.Wang Kun and Wang Wei dreamed about taking a bike trip and finally they got the chance.
B.Wang Kun thought that it would be easy to start their trip in Qinghai.
C.Wang Kun had to stop arguing with Wang Wei and accept her idea finally.
D.Wang Kun and Wang Wei didn’t know that half of the river is in China before they went to the library.

When I was a little child ,my parents took me to German. 小题1:  .When I came back, I could speak German fluently. “ Can I do something useful with German?” I asked myself.

I counted (数)the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting in my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard ,and you will do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more interesting than translating. Do your homework tomorrow.”
I stood up and would turn off the computer. But then I remembered what my parents had told me, “ Whatever(无论什么) you do, don’t stop half way.”  小题5:    .
