Yesterday afternoon, it was very hot. Mr. Green, with his family, planned to go swimming. There was a new and large swimming pool near their house. It was free for the first week. So they wanted to have a try there. When they got to the swimming pool, they were told to read the notice first.

*People who have drunk, caught colds or who have skin diseases(皮肤病) can’t enter the pool.
After reading the notice, the Greens were all very clear about what they should do and how they could keep themselves safe in the swimming pool. They enjoyed themselves there all afternoon.

I have three kids and I make them do housework. However, my mother doesn’t agree with me. She thinks I’m too strict. In her opinion, it is adults’ job to do housework.
Our family is made up of five family members. No one in the family is more important than another, so each member should help with chores. I don’t ask my kids to do the same chores, because their ages are different.
At the end of the day, after they finish playing with their toys, I ask them to put the toys away. If they don’t, they will have to say goodbye to their toys. I expect my kids to set the table at night and help fold their own clothes. I don’t think I’m asking too much.
I know they are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life —harsh（严酷）but real. I don’t want to pay them for doing some chores. They live in the house, so they should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay them for cleaning up their rooms later in life and I’ll not start doing it now.
Some parents protect their kids to much from anything unpleasant（使人不愉快的）and make their kids’ lives too comfortable and safe, but I’m not interested in that way. I hope my kids are able to look after themselves and can be independent early.

A．She doesn’t do housework at home. B．She doesn’t get on well with the kids.

C．she often asks them to do the hard ones D．she always asks them to do the easy ones
77．If the kids don’t put away their toys, the writer ________.
A．will ask her mother to do it B．will put the toys away by herself
C．will probably throw the toys away D．won’t give the kids pocket money
78．What’s the best title of the passage

C．Housework Makes Life Better D．Kids and Housework
A House of Memories
It was a fine afternoon. Eddie was putting his toys into boxes. His family were about to move to a new house, and they needed their home cleaned for the next family. Eddie looked around his big and empty house, feeling a little sad. He liked this house and his friends—he did not really want to move.
Eddie followed his mother to the attic（阁楼）. Eddie’s father was already up there, looking through boxes of old photos. He handed Eddie one. It did not have much color left, but showed a young boy playing baseball in his backyard.
“Who is that ” Eddie asked.
“That is me, Eddie, when I was your age,” his father replied.
“Look! Here’s one of me,” Eddie’s mother said, handing Eddie another photo. In it, a young girl was playing hopscotch （跳房子）.
“You guys were kids ” Eddie asked.
“We weren’t born this old,” Eddie’s mother said, laughing.
Eddie looked at the photos some more. He had never seen his dad or mom playing baseball or hopscotch or other games. They were always working, cooking, cleaning, and driving. It was hard to imagine them as kids playing in their backyards.
Looking out, Eddie could see his backyard. He did have a lot of fun there, but he was not a little kid anymore. At the new house, he would go to a new school. He wanted to try out for the school soccer team and join the drama club. Maybe it was a good time to move after all.
As the family went down from the attic, Eddie picked up their camera, took it to his parents and said, “Mom, Dad, please take a photo of me playing in our backyard!”
79．Edie’s family cleaned their house for ________.
A．their visitors B．their friends C．the new baby D．the next owner
80．Eddie’s parents showed Eddie two photos to ________.
A．talk about their hobbies B．explain their plans
C．share childhood memories D．advise Eddie to move
81．What would Eddie think about moving house finally
A．Acceptable. B．Troublesome. C．Surprising. D．Unpleasant.
Not long ago Kim and Vaughn Tucci from Perth, Australia, welcomed five healthy babies at a time —a son and four daughters. Suddenly they seemed to become the happiest but busiest parents in the world.
Recently Ms. Tucci has shared some photos of her lovely babies. One of them shows 26-year-old Ms. Tucci is lying with her five babies whose tiny bodies are in soft wraps (包裹).
More challenges (挑战) the family will have to face in future will be on the young couple. “Sometimes I lock myself in the bathroom and cry on the floor,”Ms. Tucci said on the TV program 60 Minutes. “We have to change 350 dirty nappies (尿布) a week and feed each baby eight times a day. Although the work may be terrible, it’s worth doing.” “No one thought I could do it, but I did. So I’ve actually been proud of myself now,” Ms. Tucci said.
All her five babies have surprised a lot of people. When they were born, each weighed more than one kilo and seemed very healthy. Now more and more people are trying to help and support the family. We expect all the babies can grow up healthily and have better futures.
82．How many people are there in Ms. Tucci’s family

C．They were born healthy. D．They weigh over two kilos now.
86．What can we know from the passage

C．Both Ms. Tucci and her husband like to sleep with their five babies.
D．Ms. Tucci is always pleased to look after her babies.
One day, when I finished raising money for a charity and was on the train back home, I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbours. And many names came to my mind right away.
While writing the notes, I realized I spent too much time on the phone moving from app to app, enjoying other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors and teachers. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I find myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful food. Jake and I will never forget the cake you made for our wedding. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card—to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling coming up inside me. Gratitude.
87．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．writing thank-you notes B．taking the train back home
C．putting the phone away D．raising money for charities
88．How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina
A．Shy and surprised. B．Pleased and relaxed.
C．Nervous and excited. D．Moved and encouraged.
89．The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A．charity B．neighbour C．family D．food
90．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage
A．Many thanks from her neighbors. B．More time to enjoy her own life.
C．More help from people around her. D．Happy moments to be with friends.
