阅读理解。     Maurice Sendak"s children"s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become
very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
     The book"s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent
to bed without any supper. Before long, Max"s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away
to a land where monsters(怪物,怪兽) live. Max isn"t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild
things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot
when he arrives in his bedroom.
     Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and
imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple
of pages that have only pictures on them. "This allows children to shape the story themselves," she
said.
     The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but
experts say those words help improve children"s reading skills and challenge them.
     Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. "The book talks
about what all children go through, like "I was naughty but my mommy still loves me"," Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. "I think it"s really good to show that Max
makes friends with the monsters," Davis said. "Kids can find out monsters aren"t always the thing
under the bed that"s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can
go to scary places but still have a positive experience."
     Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many
people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little
scary for younger children. "You don"t want bad dreams over a book that"s extremely wonderful,"

举一反三

阅读理解。       Some problems are difficult to solve!  But there are a lot of number expressions that can help.
For example,if we put two and two together,we might come up with the right answer. We know that
two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.
       Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only
one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don"t make a right. If someone does
something bad to you,you should not do the same to him.
       If you are going out with your girlfriend,or boyfriend,you do not want another friend to go along
on your date. You can just say to your friend:twos company, three"s a crowd.
      A young child in school has to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and
arithmetic.  These three words do not all start with the 1etter R,but they have the sound of R. Teachers
will give three cheers when their pupils do a good job.
     Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their schoolwork. They were at sixes
and sevens. In fact,they did not care whether they could finish high school. They saw 1ittle difference
between the two choices. But they were really happy when they completed their studies and graduated
from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine.
     Last year,one of my friends applied for a better job at her office. I did not think she would get it. I
thought she had a hundred to one shot at the job. Other people at her office thought her chances were
a million to one. One reason was that she had been caught catching forty winks(打盹)  at the office. She
slept at her desk for short periods during the day. But her supervisor appointed her to the new job at
the eleventh hour-at the very last minute. I guess her lucky number came up. 1. What does the text mainly discuss?A. How to solve the difficult problems.
B. Differences between English number expressions.

完形填空。     A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
     Walking up to a department store"s cloth counter, a(n)  1   young woman said, "I want to buy this
material for a new dress. How much does it cost?"
     "Only one   2   per yard," replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
     Not to be taken back by the funny words, the woman said," That"s fine! I"ll take ten yards."
     With   3   written all over his face, the clerk   4   measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it
out teasingly,  5   forward to receive his "  6   ".
     The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and pointed to a little old man standing beside
her. "Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me," she   7   .
     He was no doubt disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are  8         when others
do not   9   their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These three
particular   10   and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
     1. Expect too much  11   .When others say, "Thank you," or in any way to show their gratitude, be
happy. It is a gift!
     2. Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and    12
your joy with others.
     3. Expect not to be  13   . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need.
  14   them and move on.
     Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more   15         right away!

In Europe, people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag (曲折的) method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:? (1) Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.? (2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels (叛逆者).They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining. (3) Forced to do so, they respond by "playing" with the silver.? Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence (无知) of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders (入侵者). However, such alertness (警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades(刀).?
1. Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.?
A. the right hand B. the left hand? C. both hands D. either of the two hands?
2. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to_____.?
A. show their independence of Mother England? B. show their disrespect to Mother England? C. add a new tradition to those in Mother England? D. show off their creativeness to Mother England?
3. In the last sentence, the word "juggle" probably means ____________.?
A. hold B. play with C. pick up D. lay down?
4. Also in the last sentence, the two "them" refer to ____________.?
A. Americans B. Europeans and Americans separately? C. Americans and Europeans separately D. Europeans
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ?
A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. B. The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.? C. The zigzag eating method has become an American feature.? D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.

She is quiet, soft-spoken and has a kind face and a strong heart. She is my mom, Lili. When I was nine, Lili quitted her job and started her own business. She said she didn"t want to stay at home and work as a housewife: "It"s a waste of life." Lili became so busy that she spent less and less time with me. She didn"t help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, "so that you can develop your independence". We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents" meetings. Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under control. I want to be perfect and I don"t expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve my goals. After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other. In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me. That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles around them. She took me to see a therapist (治疗师). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was like a wheel spinning (旋转) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I only realized it when my body couldn"t stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears. "It"s all my fault, she"s just a kid and I didn"t have time to take care of her…To be honest, I had never seen Lili cry before. After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is the one who really cares about her kid.
