Sometimes we make friends with unexpected people. For example, who would have thought that a spider would make friends with a pig But in E. B. White’s classic novel “Charlotte’s Web”, this is exactly what happens.
In the story, Wilbur is an ill-fated pig. When he is born, he is so small that the farmer decides to end the pig’s life. Luckily, the farmer’s daughter stops him from killing Wilbur and volunteers to raise the pig in a barnyard.
Wilbur grows day by day and makes many friends in the barnyard（仓院）, including the spider, Charlotte. However, one day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will be served up as dinner. But Charlotte has made up her mind to save her friend from this danger. By making words such as “famous pig” in her web, she makes the farmer believe that Wilbur is some kind of supernatural animal, too important to kill. After Wilbur is saved, Charlotte is so tired that she finally dies.
Unusually, the author（作者）makes a spider the heroine (女主人公）of the book. Many people are afraid of animals like spiders. Charlotte does everything in her power to keep Wilbur alive. It shows how a strong friendship can last through the worst possible times.

No parking
Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office, so he was able to drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars were parked outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry.
He had put up a board, which said, “No parking” in the garden facing the road, but nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey (遵守) only a police notice with white letters on a blue board!
POLICE NOTICE NO PARKING
Mrs Brown asked him to steal (偷) a police notice. He was afraid to do so. She then asked him to make one just like a police notice. He said he was not the police and couldn't use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr Brown made a blue board with white letters:
PLEASE NOTICE NO PARKING
“Oh!” Mrs Brown said. “You told me you weren't going to use the word 'police', but why do you use it now ” “Really ” he asked. “Look again.” She started to laugh, “You are really clever.”

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say ” instead of “What did you say ” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not the only difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary (词汇) for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions (表达) are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There are also some differences in grammar (语法). For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook ” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook ”
Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
What does the underlined word “separately” mean in this passage
含糊地 B.快速地 C. 分开地 D. 简略地
55. The vocabulary for cars and driving is ________________.
A. an example of British English
B. an example of American English
C. the same in America and England
D. not the same in America and England
56. Which of the following is RIGHT
A. American people usually say “I don’t know” instead of “I dunno”.
B. There are four differences between American and British English.
C. Canadians speak all the same French as Frenchmen
D. When people live in different places, the languages change in the same ways.
57. This passage is mainly about ___________________.
A. English vocabulary
B. how American sounds are different from British sounds.
C. the way the British say words.
D. some differences between American and British English.

If you drop a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, will you think about eating it again What if you drop it in the toilet Bacteria (细菌) can live here and there, even in some unexpected places.
If you eat at your computer or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl.
Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand Yes, the TV remote control. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists found that around half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus (病毒).
Don’t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom Studies show that flushing (抽水冲洗) the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. You can find ways to solve this problem. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It’s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.
The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used. Try to make them dry.
Bacteria are everywhere, but don’t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands often. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.
Bacteria Live 74
Computer A computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl. Wash your hands before and after 75 down to surf the Internet.
TV remote control It is one of the dirtiest things in your home. About 76 per cent of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus.
Toothbrush Flushing the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Don’t put your toothbrush 77 the toilet.
