Unbelievable view appealed to me by accident.Just then, I checked once again: the somewhat tiny wood was having a leaf.Could I trust my own eyes? Had the hot sun annoyed me? After all, it  as summer in Costa Rica, a country in Central America.
I left off, wiping sweat from my eyes.Then I moved the wood with my finger.It stopped.It looked up at me with big triangular eyes.Surprise! It was a mantid, a kind of insect, instead of a piece of wood.
The mantid was hanging upside down on a branch.Its wings made it look like a piece of tree bark.Then I noticed something else.The leaf wasn"t a leaf at all.The hungry mantid was really eating another insect—a katydid.By now, all that was left of the katydid was a pair of wings.A few moments later, the wings dropped to the ground.The mantid folded its long legs.It sat still.Now it looked even more like a piece of wood than when I had first seen it.
I thought about how I had been fooled by these clever animals.Then I thought about how the two insects go about trying to trick each other.Both mantids and katydids are masters of make-up.Katydids are particularly good at it.Many look like something they are not.Katydids often look like plants.Many seem to be leaves.Others look like leaves of grass.All day, the bugs try to stay perfectly still.Because their bodies look like plants, most animals interested in killing them don"t bother them while katydids eat plants.
小题1:What is the main topic of the text?
A.An experience of watching insects.
B.The fake image of mantids and katydids.
C.The fight between mantids and katydids.
D.The living habits of mantids and katydids.
小题2:What caused the author amazed at first?
A.The hot sun in summer."
B.The quick moving of the wood.
C.The sight of wood eating a leaf.
D.The fight for food between mantids and katydids-
小题3:When the mantid was hanging upside down on a branch, it was ____.
A.waiting for its other foodB.enjoying its food- katydid
C.eating a leaf from the branchD.having a break under the tree
小题4:Based on the passage, it can be inferred that the mantid ____.
A.is a kind of meat-eaferB.is easy to be found by a katydid
C.looks more like a green leafD.mainly lives on the green leaves

举一反三
What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist(牙医)may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first.In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.
The simplest thing to do is put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk.Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth.He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液).He also tried, just drying the teeth in the open air.He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons.The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液)or stored in the air for one hour.Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped-off the teeth.Dr.Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.
The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth.However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school.
The next best thing was milk.But Dr.Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽)in the mouth.For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting.So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist.
小题1:This passage is mainly about             .
A.how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
B.how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
C.how Dr.Courts and other researchers made their experiments
D.how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket
小题2:The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it       .
A.in cell-culture mediumB.in milkC.in waterD.in the open air
小题3:Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in because    .
A.milk works better to keep the tooth healthyB.milk causes less pain
C.cell-culture medium is not usually handyD.cell-culture medium is more expensive
小题4:“Dr.Courts said that the best of al1 was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth.”In the sentence, the word “best” means              .
A.cheapest and healthiestB.least painful and cheapest
C.quickest and least painfulD.easiest and healthiest

The 42 mother made the child handicapped (disabled)  43  he could go out on the streets to beg.  44  by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating.And almost at once, several children  45  around this small piece of bread covered with sand,   46 bits from one another.It was the 47  reaction of hunger.He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread.  48   he gave out the bread to the children (mostly handicapped), he  49   cheers and bows from these  50   children.For the first time in his life, he understood  51  people could give up their  52  for a loaf of bread.He came to   53   how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to  54   about food that didn’t taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him   55   dreamed of having.Perhaps life wasn’t bad at all.

Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯响) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
小题1:The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
A.show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B.provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories
C.show Yoshiko’s young life was difficult and frightening
D.tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write
小题2:In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.
A.family relationshipsB.terrors in the night
C.limitless possibilitiesD.sacrifices to benefit others
小题3: What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A.Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B.Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C.Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D.Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.
小题4:What is the main idea of this story?
A.People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B.Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C.Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D.Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for material.
