“Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.

“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”

“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I did not do it on purpose. It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?

If I admitted it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father will get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my “I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough to say what I had.

My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to hit a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.

“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished(惩罚) . But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”

I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.

from a bookshelf?

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.

Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun- shots. When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house — cover up the holes with branches(树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.

What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You will have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

68. If you get lost in the forest, the most important thing you should do is _______.

A. find your friends B. look for a river

C. stay where you are D. shout for help

69. If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun you

should ________.

A. shout that you have got lost

B. keep up the shouting or whistling three times together

C. shout at the top of your voice

D. shout or whistle once in a while

70. When you hear _______ shouts or whistles or gunshots, you know that _______.

A. two; people will soon come to help you

B. three; someone is asking for help

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成文后的句子。

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such

discussions. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language

skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students

must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of

things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad may cost the family much money. For most Chinese

parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through

their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He
