Three blondes (金发碧眼的女人) were being trained to become detectives by a policeman. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑犯), the policeman showed the first blonde a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second blonde giggled, flipped her hair, and said, \-eared person!\the third lady, he asked, \is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?\added quickly, \hard before giving a stupid answer.\wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜).\suspect wore contacts or not. \and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile. \it's TRUE!

Honestly, since my daughter was born, I have thought a lot about how to raise a child. I once heard a story that told about when a baby was born. The story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. The parents of that baby would become the servants. The question is: Why? Based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. Most parents who don't pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids' attitude.

I'll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with three children. Both mother and father never say \parents’ words, \

The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. As a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.

In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.

59. Why did the writer give two different stories in this passage? A. To help prove his opinion about raising a child. B. To list different ways that parents may take. C. To criticize some parents’ foolish action. D. To prove that his way of education is right.

60. What does the underlined word “postponed” in the third paragraph mean? A. Carried out at once. B. Gave up. C. Put off. D. Made a decision.

61. In the writer’s opinion, which of the following about raising a child is TRUE? A. Children should be respected once they were born.

B. Parents should educate their children as early as possible.

C. It is right time to educate their children when they are teenagers. D. Children should be helped whenever they make mistakes. C

Students often meet with questions as follows: bullied by someone, worried about a weak subject, puzzled by family problems or concerned about pets at home. All the questions above may make you not concentrated on your study. Who can you turn to if you are such an unlucky student? A great person to share your thoughts and feelings with is your school counsellor(顾问).

Add school counsellors to the list of people you can turn to when you need help. They know how to listen and can help kids with life's challenges(挑战). Counsellors have special training in how to help kids solve problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves. That doesn't mean your counsellor will wave a magic wand and the problem will go away. But it does mean he or she will help you cope with(应付) it. Coping is an important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult problems. Coping means that someone is trying to handle these problems and make things better.

Your school counsellor is available for you and wants to make your school experience the best it can be. The counsellor's job is to take your problem seriously and help you find a solution. The counsellor also wants to help you learn as much as you can in class, be a contributing member of the school community, and be a positive influence on your environment. 62. From the underlined sentence we may infer that ________. A. a school counsellor is one of those who can help you B. school counsellors are those you can make friends with C. one needs various people to help him or her

D. one has to know and deal with all kinds of people at school

63. According to the passage, which of the following happens that you may not turn to the counsellors? A. Other students treat you cruelly. B. You are too poor to go to school. C. You are weak in one subject. D. You have family problem.

64. What does the writer think of the school counsellors? A. They can solve any questions you meet with.

B. They can help students get their life or study improved. C. They are as important as teachers in schools. D. They may punish those who have bullied you.

65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A. School counsellors B. School problems C. Students’ problems D. Free counsellors

When I was at primary school in the second grade, I used to follow my elder sister who is five years older than me. She loved sports and was always playing basketball and softball.

One possible version:

Chairman Hu called on the whole society to build China into a saving country last year. As a student, I think we should do something in answer to his call. We can’t do something great but we may do something closely connected with our life. At first, we’d better not waste money on too much junk food such as ice cream, soft drinks or bread. It’s unnecessary for us to pay much attention to dressing, which will cost our parents’ much money. We must learn to save electricity and water. Whenever we leave our classrooms, we must turn off the lights and don’t turn them on in the day time. It’s a bad habit to leave the water flowing all
