Katelynn From: a very small town Age: 15 My parents are great, but quite strict at the same time. I still get spanked (打屁股) sometimes. I know this is one of my parents’ ways to teach me to follow the rules. They also still spank my sister who is 18. I am happy that my parents are strict with us and have rules and punishments. But I’m not sure if it is normal for a teen to get spanked. So, any of you get spanked
Jinglebot From: Lebanon Age: 14 Re: Katelynn
I haven’t been spanked since I was a little child. The way I get punished now is that I get some privileges (优惠待遇) like going out with friends or playing computer games taken away.
Bonbon From: * Age: 16 Re: Katelynn
No. My parents consider it pretty barbaric (残暴的) to spank kids, and I fully agree with them. When I do something wrong, my parents try to explain to me patiently why it is wrong, and let me face the bad results of my actions. Usually that works, and I am thankful.
Sina-B From: Germany Age: 17 Re: Katelynn

Read people’s character (性格) from their ears
The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older. But ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a very good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly), small ears was very dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical (有音乐天赋的).
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached (附上……的) to the face Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure. Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous (神经紧张的) character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.
( )49. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ______.
A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears
( )50. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the size of the ears B. musical ears
C. ears are related to characters D. our faces and ears
( )51. From the passage, we know _____ change shape as we get older.
A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth
( )52. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ______.
A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder
C
Days ago, I made a skirt for a friend’s daughter. Today, when I walked in the door, I noticed the light shining on my answering machine. It was my friend saying, “I know you worked hard on the skirt and it looks very nice, but Janet doesn’t like all those flowers. Could you change them ”
I was angry and wanted to call her back. Then I suddenly thought of Grandma and what she had once done for me long ago.
It was a summer when I was eight. One day, Grandma decided to curl (使卷曲) my hair. She spent a long time on each curl, and I could tell she enjoyed doing that.
When she was finished she was so proud. She made me stand on a chair to look in the mirror. My heart went cold.
“You can go out and play now,” Grandma said, smiling.
I nodded and slowly walked toward the door. I looked out of the small window in the door and could see some kids playing outside. My best friend, Ducky, saw me and waved for me to come outside, but I couldn’t move. I knew everyone would laugh at the curls. At the same time I couldn’t go back and tell Grandma how I felt.
Finally I went into Grandma’s room and said in a scared voice, “Grandma, my hair’s too curly.”
She didn’t say a word. She placed a comb (梳子) in water, combed out all my curls, and then stood me back on the chair so I could see in the mirror. Then I went off to play.
It was when Grandma took out my curls that I knew she loved me. She had put my feelings before hers. And that is the kind of love I try to pass on today.
I called my friend back. “I’d be glad to change the _______,” I said.
( )53. How did the writer feel when she heard the telephone message

D. The writer wasn’t satisfied with the curls.
( )55. Which word can be put into the blank of the last paragraph
A. flowers B. curls C. hair D. phone
( )56. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To introduce her kind-hearted grandma.

Who invented the umbrella There are many different opinions. Some people say that the people of ancient Egypt invented it, some say the Romans invented it and some say Luban’s wife invented it in ancient China. There’s even an interesting story about its invention in China.
Luban was the most famous craftsman (工匠) in ancient China. One day, Luban and his wife were taking a walk and enjoying the beautiful view. Suddenly it began to rain. Both of them were soaked when they got back home. Luban’s wife said, “If there is something that can protect people from the rain when they are walking outdoors, it will be wonderful.” Then Luban said, “That’s easy. I will build many pavilions (亭).” His wife replied, “That’s a good idea, but it is not convenient. Is it possible to make a movable (可移动的) pavilion, which could always follow the people ” She thought all day and all night. One day, she saw some kids playing in the rain, and each kid held a big lotus leaf (荷叶) over the head to protect themselves from getting wet. That gave her a great idea. Then, she made the first umbrella in ancient China.
Since the umbrella was invented, it has been part of people’s life in every corner of the world. Right now, there are many kinds of umbrellas, such as beach umbrellas, kids umbrellas and market umbrellas.
How many umbrellas are made every year in the world Maybe millions or even more. One interesting thing is that most umbrellas in the world are made in China. Shangyu in Zhejiang Province alone has more than 1,000 umbrella factories and it is called “China Umbrella City”.

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

( )59. What was Luban’s advice on protecting people from the rain
A. To wear a big hat. B. To bring a big lotus leaf.
C. To build many pavilions. D. To make a movable pavilion.
( )60. What do we know about Shangyu
A. It has over 1,000 umbrella factories.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Why do you seldom see windows in supermarkets It’s no accident that supermarkets don’t have windows. 61
One of them is that it’s a try to keep people inside longer. “The owners want to create a separate environment within their stores, where the outside world cannot be noticed,” explains Andrei Vasilescu, a shopping expert. “Your attention won’t be taken away by the rain or the sunshine. You may even forget the fact that someone is waiting for you outside. 62 ” It really helps create an “immersive (沉浸式的)” shopping experience, for better or worse.
Keeping daylight out of supermarkets can also help store products. 63 Nobody wants to buy anything not fresh. Too much sunshine can even make some products look not as new as before.
What’s more, having windows in their stores would take up the space to place products. “ 64 So the walls can hold the heavier objects on the shelves.” says Margine Biswas, a building expert.
Not to mention, windows are expensive and the owners of supermarkets want to keep the building costs lower. 65 It is possible that bad guys would enter their stores by breaking windows.
A. Outer walls are always stronger.
B. There are some reasons behind this fact.
C. Besides, windows could not be safe enough.
D. All you care about is the shopping experience.
E. Owners want to make more money at a low cost.
F. That’s because some food can become bad faster in sunlight.
