"I can"t believe what I"m hearing!" I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人) for president
of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said. "I"m sorry, Mike. I really thought you should
be 1 ."
Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a 2 "Congratulations" and
walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
"I"m, er-I"m just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team," he said 3 . "You
are really smart, and you would be a great manager."
"I don"t think so," I replied, feeling unsure.
"Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow," he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about 4 from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process (选举过程)
would give 5 a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.
My first goal was to 6 a catchy advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff"s
pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway 7 passing Jeff"s
smiling face.
My next step was to 8 which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them
wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.
With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster 9 to add these
activities to our school program.
An eighth grader said, "It"ll be 10 like attending a new school with Jeff as president."
Hearing these words made my heart filled with 11 . I had wanted to become president of Student
Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff"s team. He became
the most popular candidate and I was large part of his 12 . The fact that it has made a difference in other
people"s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling! |

| 阅读理解。 | Susan, the US
My best friend is Fanny. She is clever and interesting. We always look after each other.
The first week we met, I got sick and she looked after me every day. | | 阅读理解。 | Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films
and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National
Geographic magazine.
A working day foe Dereck and Beverly starts very early-at 4:30 in the morning! That"s when they get up
and start filming. And it"s a long day-they often work until 8:30 in the evening. In the winter it"s very cold
and in the summer it can be 40℃. Dereck always does the filming-Beverly never does that, and she doesn"t
write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they
both believe we should shoot animals with cameras-not with guns!
When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually
writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes
sleep in the Land Cruiser-when you"re very close to wild animals, it"s sometimes safer to sleep in the car.
Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says
that animals are not just something to look at-they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals
can teach us a lot about ourselves. | | 1. Dereck and Beverly start working ______. | A. at 4:30 in the morning
B. at 4:30 in the afternoon
C. at 8:30 in the morning
D. at 8:30 in the evening | | 2. Dereck and Beverly usually sleep ______ at night. | A. in a car
B. in a tent
C. in a house
D. in a hotel | | 3. Beverly thinks the wild animals ______. | A. are something to look at
B. are very popular
C. play an unimportant role
D. can teach us a lot | | 阅读理解。 | What do you do if you"re stranded (处于困境的) on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to
get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals (信号)
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave
your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm
from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it"s safe to land, push your hands out in
front of you and bend (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that it"s not safe to land, put your arms in the
air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it"s a good way to draw attention. If the weather
is dry, it isn"t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of
control. Never light a fire unless you"re sure that it can"t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be
seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It"s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If
you can"t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F"I need food and water."
II"I need medicine."
I"I am badly hurt."
X" I am unable to move from here."
Pilots" replies
If the pilot lowers the plane"s wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood".
(At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s green lights.)
If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".
(At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s red lights.) However, there is no signal which means "message not
received". Why not? | | 1. Which picture means "it"s not safe to land"? |  | | 2. What can we learn from the passage? | A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".
B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can"t be seen.
C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".
D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night. | | 3. What is the passage mainly about? | A. The explanation of building signals on an island.
B. The importance of making signals on an island.
C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island. | | 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处 的最佳选项。 | Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey live in Iowa. They have a big family. Mikayla is the oldest child in the family.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it"s hard for you to communicate with
your parents, don"t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
● Don"t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don"t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents
probably won"t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can"t express yourself well if you are
angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you
want to say to your parents. If you don"t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
● Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep
your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise
on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect
will keep your relationship strong.
● Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell
your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in
life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! | | 1. Your parents probably won"t consider your ideas if you _____. | A. don"t get to them often
B. write a letter to them
C. don"t speak to them politely
