Mrs Elise was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my tuna fish (金枪鱼) sandwich and suddenly Mrs Elise asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot hunch from the cafeteria (食堂).
I was excited. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use it again the next day. So you could understand my happiness when I had the chance to buy a hot lunch.
When we finished lunch that day, Mrs Elise took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. I really didn’t care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her special attention, so I was quiet as she explained. She told me that she was a Catholic(天主教徒) and Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays, they ate fish on Fridays.
Oh, I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mother that from then on I wanted a tuna fish sandwich on Fridays. After my mother understood why, she gladly made tuna fish sandwiches for me on Fridays. She even made it with brown bread because she knew Mrs Elise liked brown bread. From then on, every Friday I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food. It tasted divine to me!
I realize now that Mrs Elise could have made herself tuna fish sandwiches on Fridays. But she bought mine because she saw a little girl who was excited at the simple act of having a hot lunch.
I will never forget Mrs Elise for her pity for me and generosity (慷慨) and what I should do is to follow her example.

These days, many students like playing 3D games. Do you know what 3D games are like? In most 3D games, game players need to control (控制) a character. The character can be a robot or a soldier (士兵). Game players usually use the mouse to make the character move around in his own world. Game players can find things such as food and weapons (武器) to help them go on with the game. The character can go straight, sit down, turn left, turn right or pick up things in the game.
Some 3D games have many levels (等级). The character needs to finish different goals for each level.Game players can play against their computers, and sometimes they can play with other players on-line. It"s great fun to play 3D games. But playing 3D games for long is not good for our study.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt (安全带) when you’re in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.
小题1:The passage mainly tells us ______.| A．two important ways to keep safe in cars | | B．how air bags work to make cars safe | | C．how seat belts work to make cars safe | | D．why we must tie the egg to the skateboard |
小题2: The writer gives the example of the egg to ______.| A．tell us that eggs are easy to break | | B．show how to wear a seat belt | | C．show why it’s important to wear a seat belt in a car | | D．tell us what a skateboard is |
小题3: Seat belts can make us safer because ______.| A．we are interested in them | | B．they can stop us from hitting other cars | | C．they can help us stay safely on the seats | | D．they are made of strong materials |
小题4: Air bags are important for cars because ______.| A．they are made of plastic | | B．they can also help us to keep safe in a car | | C．they can keep cars running slowly | | D．they’re put in front of and next to the seats |
小题5: Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?| A．When a car hits something, its air bags will come out a few minutes later. | | B．It won’t be dangerous if there are seat belts or air bags in a car. | | C．Now most of new cars still have only one air bag. | | D．Volvo was the first to use seat belts. |

What’s language for？Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules（规则） and learning lists of words --the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native（本土的） speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. So Chinese students should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.
小题1: Language is used to __________ .| A．express oneself | | B．practise grammar rules. | | C．talk with foreigners only | | D．learn lists of words |
小题2: If too many native speakers break a rule,________ .| A．what they use will become right. | | B．they are against the law | | C．they should say sorry to others. | | D．they will become heroes |
小题3: When we speak a foreign language, we should________ .| A．speak in Chinese way | | B．speak by the rules | | C．speak to native speakers | | D．not be afraid of making mistakes |
小题4:What should Chinese students put first?| A．Language | B．Communication | C．Rules | D．Grammar |
