The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and gave him a nice check (支票) and it was much higher than the money for painting.
"You have paid me for painting the boat!" he said in surprise.
"But this is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the hole in the boat," answered the owner of the boat.
"It was just a small service. You don't have to pay me such a high price!"
Then the owner told the man what happened. When he asked the man to paint the boat, he forgot to tell about the hole. After the paint was dry, his children took the boat to fish but they didn't know the hole. The owner wasn't at home at that time. So when he came back and heard they had taken the boat, he was worried. Luckily, his children came back soon from fishing. He was excited.

A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专家). If sports aren't going to be your future, then why should you play them Why should you train every day Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports.
First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches, teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.
Maybe you're not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person.
33．According to the text, which of the following is true about sports
A．When endorphins are made in our body, we will get angry easily.
B．If young people do more sports, they will have more problems.
C．When doing sports, we should respect everyone in the game.
D．More indoor exercise can bring people happiness and health.

A．Reports. B．Sports. C．Problems. D．Rules.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Sports Are Just For Professionals.
B．Sports Teach People To Work Hard.
C．Sports Are Good For Everyone.
D．Sports Make People Go Outside.
36．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage (P = Paragraph)
B. C. D.
D
Do you have true friends Do you want to know better between you and your friends There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”.
The first kind of friends is simply an acquaintance. All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”.
The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel.
The last kind of friends, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you.
We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.
What does the underlined word “acquaintances” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese
A．同学 B．熟人 C．邻居 D．同事
38．If you and John are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”.

39．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

B．how to learn from your best friends
C．what a best friend is
D．a best friend can correct you when you are wrong
40．From the passage, we can learn that ________.

D．a pest friend will never become your best friend

Dear Bob,
Thank you for your letter. Everything goes well these days. Last weekend, I went to the countryside with my parents. We fed the chickens, milked the cow and had a great time.
Comparing with living in the city, I would like to live in the countryside, because I like rural creek and field. I like the castle peak running water. I like rural environment and fresh air in the countryside. There is too much pollution in the city. I can plant fruit and vegetables in the countryside and they are green and pollution-free. And they are good for my health.
As for TV shows, my favorite TV program is Animal World. I can learn a lot about nature. What about you Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
