He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤兒院)since he was only four.  I thought of him. He was honest(誠(chéng)實(shí)). For example, the handle (柄) of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Children’s Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldn’t take the money. "I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "
"But Jerry, no one hits the wood in the right place all the time. And it was a weak handle. I’ll speak to the seller. " It was only then that he would take the money.
Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. "I’ll put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴風(fēng)雨)comes up, you can stay warm. "
One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. "You look like my mother, especially(特別) next to the fire"
But you were four, Jerry, ’when you came to live at the Children’s Home. Do you still remember your mother?"
小題1:How long had Jerry lived at the Children’s Home by the time he met the writer?
A.One year.B.Four years.C.Eight years.D.Twelve years.
小題2:How did Jerry feel after he broke the handle of the ax?
A.Sorry.B.Happy.C.Angry.D.Lucky.
小題3:What did the writer think of Jerry? He was        .
A.clever, honest but lazyB.honest, helpful and worked hard
C.honest, warm - hearted and strangeD.careful, honest and weak
小題4:The sentence underlined (劃線的)means that        .
A.you should be more careful next time
B.a(chǎn)nyone can hit the wood in the right place
C.I always hit the wood in the right place
D.people hit the wood sometimes in the wrong place
小題5:Which is right?
A.Jerry lived with his parents at times.
B.The writer was really Jerry’s mother.
C.Jerry liked the writer and the writer liked him, too.
D.Jerry did not like to live with his mother.

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:D
小題5:C

小題1:C從第一段的His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤兒院)since he was only four.看出Jerry四歲來(lái)孤兒院,現(xiàn)在12歲了,所以遇到作者8年了。
小題2:A從第二段舉的例子中的"I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "說(shuō)明Jerry覺(jué)得很抱歉。
小題3:B從第一段I thought of him. He was honest(誠(chéng)實(shí)). 第二段another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things.可知B項(xiàng)正確。
小題4:D劃線句子是作者安慰Jerry的話,沒(méi)有人總是打在正確的位置,就是人們有時(shí)會(huì)打在錯(cuò)誤的位置,這很正常。
小題5:C上文表示作者很喜歡Jerry,另外倒數(shù)第二段中Jerry對(duì)作者說(shuō)"You look like my mother, especially(特別) next to the fire"說(shuō)明他也很喜歡作者。

Dear editor,
I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city every year because there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here.
The peacocks mostly live on the grassland of Dongfeng Square. Visitors usually throw food to them, but they don’t think about at all whether the food is good or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, and some even died eating the bad food given by visitors.
I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the bird, but they don’t realize that they may be doing them harm (傷害). Visitors should be told that what they have done is harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped.
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Wang Yang

Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages(優(yōu)勢(shì)). You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.
