試題分析：小題1:本句的意思是“孩子們迅速地逃跑了�！薄疤优堋笔莚un away。是固定短語。所以本題選B。
小題2:would like to do sth表示“想做某事”，故排除AB；又因?yàn)閘et sb do和invite sb to do，而根據(jù)后面的to可知，應(yīng)該用invite“邀請”。所以本題選D。
小題3: 本句的意思是“當(dāng)他到達(dá)宮殿的時(shí)候，他非常驚訝”，“到達(dá)”是arrive。但是arrive后面既可跟at，有可用in，at用于小地方，而in用于大地方，如城市，國家等。故本空應(yīng)該用arrive at。所以本題選C。
小題4:根據(jù)He had never seen such a dinner before.可知，烏龜國王給他的是豐盛的晚宴。所以本題選A。
小題5:本句的意思是“他對一切都很滿意”。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是：be pleased with“對…滿意”，be strict with“對…要求嚴(yán)格”，be angry with“生…的氣”，be sorry to“向某人道歉”。所以本題選A。
小題6:根據(jù)I am going to give you two boxes,和you can open only one可知，此處應(yīng)該用but，表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。所以本題選C。
小題7:根據(jù)上文，我們可知，年輕人應(yīng)該是從大海回到家，home前面不能用to，所以本題選B。
小題8:根據(jù)the box was full of gold“箱子中盛滿了金子”可知，年輕人應(yīng)該說自己是個(gè)富人了。所以本題選B。
小題9:根據(jù)文章的意思，我們知道龜國王只給了年輕人兩個(gè)箱子，一個(gè)已經(jīng)打開，只能是再打開另一個(gè)，表示兩個(gè)中的另一個(gè)應(yīng)該用the other。所以本題選D。
小題10:本句的意思是“他的臉看起來像一個(gè)八十多歲的老人。Look like后面跟名詞，而look后面跟形容詞，因?yàn)閍n old man，故應(yīng)該用look like。所以本題選C。
點(diǎn)評：本文告訴我們做人不能太貪婪。本題重在考查對文章的理解，兼顧語法的考查。所以在做題時(shí)應(yīng)該盡量通讀全文，熟悉文章的意思，一定要結(jié)合上下文。

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the  money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument(樂器) or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children are short of self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully step by step. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激發(fā)) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
小題1:Most Chinese parents don't realize_______.
A．how much the best education is worthB．when children should be educated
C．what children really need in later lifeD．why school tests don't satisfy children
小題2:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Fixing old machines is very important. B．Interest is necessary for everything.
C．Broken things are useful for children.D．Using hands helps improve thinking ability.
小題3:The writer's attitude（看法） to children's education is that
A．the cheaper an education is, the better it is
B．children today should learn different skills
C．practical skills are useful to children's growth
D．school education can't meet parents' expectation.

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread（散布） a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo（彌補(bǔ)） the wrong.”

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But
you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive(原諒) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But Instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be anger. You may think you’re right  and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
