阅读理解。     When the earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011, workers in a supermarket in Japan didn"t run away
when they felt the shaking. Instead, they held on to the shelves and tried to stop the goods from falling
down.
     Reporters from NHK, the country"s largest TV station, stayed calm in front of cameras during the earth
quake, even though some were facing real danger.
     The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country"s history. But Japan"s reaction to
the earthquake has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared (有准备的) country in the world. The
calm that Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.
     This is because Japan has an earthquake culture. Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and
react to an earthquake from a young age.
     One way kids learn about earthquake safety is from the cartoon character Maruko, a 9-year-old
student. In Chibi Maruko-Chan (《樱桃小丸子》), Maruko has to wear a protective (防护的) hat in
an earthquake practice. Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month. They make students
become familiar (熟悉的) with being in an earthquake.
     Japan also has a good earthquake warning (警报) system. Warnings were broadcast on TV, the radio
and cell phones eight seconds after experts first knew about the quake on March 11. The warning system
is unable to predict an earthquake, but it can usually alert (提醒) people about 15 seconds before they
feel the effects. Even 15 or 20 seconds can be enough to save people"s lives.1. When the big earthquake happened in Japan on March 11, ______.     A. people stayed calm
    B. people were too scared to move
    C. people ran outdoors in a hurry
    D. people escaped from the country at once2. From this passage, we know that NHK is a _____ in Japan.     A. bus stop
    B. TV station
    C. famous movie
    D. five-star restaurant  3. What does the underlined word "reaction" mean in Chinese?    A. 影像
    B. 动作
    C. 反应
    D. 保护4. What can we learn from the passage?     A. Earthquake practices in Japan are very common.
    B. Japan has a warning system that can predict earthquakes.
    C. Few people were hurt during the Japan earthquake on March 11, 2011.
    D. Japanese kids learn about earthquake safety only from school earthquake practices. 5. Which is the BEST title for the passage?    A. How terrible the earthquake is
    B. Japan"s earthquake culture
    C. Japanese people are very brave
    D. The earthquakes can be predicted

阅读理解。     You have been working hard to learn English. Do you know American kids are trying to learn Chinese?
More than 60,000 American students now study Chinese.
     "Because of China"s fast development, Chinese has become more useful, and more and more
Americans begin to learn it," said Scott McGinnis, a Washington language expert (专家).
     For example, in 1999, only three schools in Chicago had Chinese lessons. This year more than 30
schools there have Chinese during school days. Last year China gave them 3,000 textbooks because they
had done a good job.
     Although Chinese is becoming more and more popular, it is one of the most difficult languages to learn.

hours for French, Spanish or Italian.1. According to Scott McGinnis, more and more Americans begin to learn Chinese ______ .        A. because of China"s fast development

     It seems that today more and more girls like to dress like boys. Maybe they are following the example of Li Yuchun,
the winner of the Super Girls contest in 2005.
     Kitty Deng is a 13-year-old from Shanxi. She has a boyish style. "I am like a boy and I am comfortable being this
way," says Kitty. "I think everybody should have a style according to his or her personality."
     Liu Bing, from Liaoning, is also a tomboy (假小子). "I don"t wear skirts because I don"t look pretty in skirts," says
the 13-year-old kid. "I get my hair cut short because long hair makes me feel very hot in summer," she says. In fact,
Liu has another reason.   The style makes it easier to play together with boys. Why not play with girls? "Because
some girls are just mean (小气的), " she answers.
     Wei Yan, 14, lives in Shanghai. She dresses like a boy, too. In her class, not many girls dress like boys. But many
girls think that being a   boy is easier. "Boys have more chances than we do," says Wei Yan. "For example,   at our
school only boys can be flag escorts (护旗手). Why can"t girls have a try?"
