Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania.Before he became interested in making chocolate,he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first,and then decided that printing was not the right job for him.
Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster.After working a few years there,he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia.His first business failed because it was not making money.After that,he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖).He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street.But his second business also failed.
Finally,Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up.He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate.By 1893he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year.Since his chocolate-flavored(巧克力味的) caramels were the best selling,he decided to make chocolate himself.
By experimenting,Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate.The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar,which helped him succeed in his chocolate business.In 1903,Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.
Today,the town of Hershey is still the home if the factory that Milton Hershey built.And if you ever visit,you can smell delicious chocolate smells just bu driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find,Just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue.Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.
64.Who is the father of Hershey Chocolate?Milton Hershey
65.Where did he grow up?He grew up in Pennsylvania.
66.Why did he go to Denver?Because he wanted to learn how to make caramels.
67.Why did he decide to make chocolate himself?Because his chocolate-flavored caramels were the best selling
68.What might be the reasons for Hershey's success in his chocolate business?His courage,new skills,determination and the large and easy supply of milk and sugar.

15.For thousands of years,people have used plants to make medicines.They used different parts of the plants-the roots,the leaves,the flowers,and the bark (樹皮).Today,doctors have rediscovered more medicinal values (藥用價(jià)值) of some plants.Let's look at some examples.
    Foxglove is a common plant.People have used it to make the heart slow down.Recently scientists have developed another drug from it.This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.
    In some areas,malaria has been a problem.Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree,the cinchona,can be made into a drug to prevent malaria.For a long time,the Chinese have known that a special plant,wormwood,can also fight malaria.Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.
    In Germany,some scientists studied garlic (大蒜) for four years.They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque (血小板) because too much plaque is bad for health.This very common plant continues to be studied.
As we know,there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world.Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value.Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made f rom the other 99 percent.
52.What can foxglove be used for?D
A.Studying plants.
B.Building up the plaque.
C.Treating AIDS and cancer.
D.Preventing heart problems.
53.What does the underline d word"malaria"in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?C
A.A drug.
B.A scientist      
C.An illness.
D.An animal.

12.New rules and behaviour standards (行為規(guī)范) for middle school students have come out.The middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are.The best students won't only have high marks.They will also be kids who don't smoke,drink or dye (染) their hair.The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth.Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam?Don't do it again!That's not something that an honest student should do.If you have played computer games for two hours in your room,don't tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school.Good students love animals and care for other people.April is Bird Loving Month in China.Is your school doing anything to celebrate it?You should join!That way,you can learn more about animals and how to protect them.When more people work together,it is more fun for everyone.
Have you fought with your teammates when your basketball team lost?Only working together can make your team stronger.Be friendly to the people you are with.Try to think of others,not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas.Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon?Maybe you'll discover Earth II someday.Don't look down on new ideas.Everyone's ideas are important.You should welcome them because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself.Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates?Don't let it happen to you.If you have to go home late,you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully.The Internet can be very useful for your studies.But some things on the Internet aren't good for kids,do try to look at Web pages that aren't good for you.You can use the Web for fun or homework.Can't you find any good Web sites for children?Here are some:http://kinds.eastday.com/http://www.chinakids.net.com/http://www.cyenct.com
