ALesson to Learn
My little sister Betty is only 7 years old, but she is so irritating ( 使人恼火的 ). All day long she says,
“Eddie, I wonder why people can talk but animals can’t.” Or, “I wonder why the ocean looks blue.” Of course, I
don’t know the answers, but I don’t let her know that. I just make up reasonable explanations (合理的解释), and
she accepts them as if I’m the smartest person in the world. Before I answer one of her questions, I usually tell her
that she’s pretty stupid and asks too many questions.
Well, yesterday we both got our report cards. I got B’s and C’s, and she got all A’s. On my report card, my
teacher wrote, “Eddie would be getting better grades if he asked more questions.” Of course, on my sister’s report
card, it said just the opposite (相反的).
To make things worse, my sister told every family member about how I was so stupid for not asking questions!
I just sighed and told her she was right—I wouldn’t make fun of her anymore for asking so many questions.
Yes, I learned a lesson from my little sister: Never be afraid to ask questions, and NEVER be afraid to wonder
why.

Ninth Festival. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. In Chinese tradition, nine is a yang number. The ninth
day of the ninth month has two nines so it is named as Chong Yang Festival.

from the Western Han Dynasty. Also, it is good for our health. On the Double Ninth Festival, people also eat Chong
Yang cakes, enjoy chrysanthemum flowers and drink chrysanthemum wine.

Scientists have found the world’s largest sea grass meadow (草坪). They did it by using videos taken by some
unusual helpers: tiger sharks.
The work should help protect (保护) the sea grass, and it’s also an interesting way to learn about the ocean (海
洋).
Sea grasses help clean the ocean’s water, and provide (提供 ) food and living places for many sea animals.
Importantly, they help in fighting global warming.
Scientists want to protect them, but they don’t have a good idea of where and how large they are. Sea grasses
can be hard to see because the water is too deep and not clear enough. As a scientist said, “If we don’t know where
it is, we can’t protect it.”
So scientists want sharks to help with the research (研究). Tiger sharks are huge, strong, fast swimmers and
also spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows. The scientists put cameras on the fins of sharks and then let them go
back to the ocean.
The cameras fell off after a few hours and floated (漂浮) to the top of the ocean. Tracking signals (追踪信号)
helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken. Putting all this
information together, the scientists found the largest sea grass meadow.
The research also shows how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under
the sea. A scientist said, “Animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to completely new places.”
19．Who are the scientists’ unusual helpers in the passage
20．Why is it hard for the scientists to find the sea grasses
21．How did the scientists find the floating cameras
22．What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph

Grace Walker, a 7-year-old girl, lives in a quiet neighborhood. She is a child who has lots of friends and a
happy life. But she once had a problem.
Her school holds a yearly career (职业 ) fair. On that day, adults come to school and talk to children about
many different careers. This year, they listened to a doctor, met a manager and talked to a librarian. But Grace had
no inspiration (鼓舞她的人) at all.
That evening Grace was very sad at the dinner table. Her mom asked her what was wrong. Grace began to cry
when she told her mother about her future and career. Grace has always dreamed of becoming a firefighter, helping
others and being a hero. When she told her friends about her dream, they laughed because a girl can’t be a’fireman’.
Grace’s mom smiled and hugged her.
To help Grace solve (解决 ) the problem, her mom got her computer, ran a quick search and placed the
computer in front of Grace. Then she saw the screen. There was a beautiful, smiling woman firefighter accepting a
medal (奖章) for her bravery during a car accident. In the photo, she was holding one of the little girls she had freed
from the school bus. Grace couldn’t believe it.
Grace’s mom said, “Why not send an email to the firefighter ” Grace did it happily and waited, hoping for a
reply! They were so excited when a reply flashed up a few minutes later. Finally Grace had her inspiration—it was
Constance Baker. She started to read Constance’s blog (博客) and followed her daily.
That summer, Grace had a party to celebrate her birthday. When it was time to bring out the cake, Grace was
told to close her eyes. Suddenly, she heard loud sirens (警笛) coming closer and louder by the second. When she
opened her eyes, Constance was holding the cake and the rest of the firefighters were standing around the fire truck.
This was the best birthday Grace could ever have.
At school, Grace was the talk of the hallways. She is so proud of her future dream and now truly believes
anything is possible.
