Sugar is an important part in our lives. To go with it, a lot of food tastes more delicious. Many people like the taste of sugar. But where does it come from
People get sugar from plants. The two plants from which we get most of our sugar are sugar cane and sugar beet. Sugar cane is a tall plant which grows in hot countries, and sugar beet is a plant that grows in cooler places.
There are many different kinds of sugars. Their prices are almost the same, but people use them a bit differently. White sugar is the most common kind. We can put it in our tea or coffee. Brown sugar is sugar that has something called molasses (糖蜜). The molasses has a strong taste, so people often use brown sugar to give more taste to some cakes.
Is sugar our friend or not It’s very hard to say: A little sugar as a treat is fine and can give you some energy (能量). Cars will soon run on sugar. Some people in America turned sugar into fuel (燃料) for cars. But eating too much sugar often is bad for our teeth. It can also make us get very fat. Getting fat can lead to lots of health problems. If you like the sweet taste of sugar, have it as a treat, but make sure you also eat lots of healthy food like fruit and vegetables, take lots of exercise and don’t forget to brush your teeth!
To stay healthy, we need to remember: a little sugar goes a long way!
49. What do we know about sugar beet
A. It lives in hot places. B. It likes cool areas.
C. It is a kind of tall grass. D. It looks like sugar cane.
50. How is brown sugar different from white sugar
A. Brown sugar is cheaper. B. Brown sugar is often used in tea.
C. Brown sugar has a stronger taste. D. Brown sugar doesn't have molasses.
51. What advice does the writer give in the end
A. Turn sugar into car fuel. B. Have two treats every day.
C. Do exercise before having sugar. D. Eat sugar in a right way.
C
Cleaning my bedroom is one of my least favorite chores, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says “a tidy home means a tidy mind”, and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can’t think clearly.
Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study showed that a high percentage (百分率) of children with bad behavior (行为，举止) come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses tend to be unhealthy and they fall sick more often too. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank.
I am not a naturally tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom!
52. What does the underlined sentence“a tidy home means a tidy mind”mean
A. A smart person’s home is always clean and comfortable.
B. The tidier your home is, the cleverer you are.
C. A person with a tidy home usually has a healthy lifestyle.
D. If everything is tidy, you will be able to think clearly.
53. What is the result of the study
A. No kids like to live in messy homes with their parents.
B. All the children from messy homes have bad behavior.
C. People from tidier homes are healthier and more successful.
D. Parents and kids should keep the house clean and tidy together.
54. Which of the following is NOT true about the writer
A. She wants to be like her mother.
B. She is a naturally tidy person.
C. She is lazy sometimes but she is trying to be tidy.
D. She thinks tidying up every day is a good habit.
D
How do you get to school every day By bus Or by bike Do you know anything about waterways Let’s get to know a great one, the Grand Canal (大运河).
The Grand Canal in China is more than 2,500 years old. It has three parts, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. Being nearly 3,200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway. It’s really important to China’s development for hundreds of years.
Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses or simply traveled on foot to trade goods(货物). It was impossible to carry large- sized goods. After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were able to develop further.
In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Palace Museum. Materials(材料) from different parts of the country arrived in Beijing through the canal, such as bricks fired in Shandong and Jiangsu and wood cut in Hunan. People even owe the beginning of Beijing duck to the canal. People brought White lake ducks in the south to Beijing by ship. They were then kept to make Beijing duck. People from all walks of life enjoyed getting together along the canal. They shared their experiences, traditions and culture with others.
55. What’s the purpose(目的)of Para.2
A. To describe different waterways.
B. To introduce Sui and Tang Grand Canal.
C. To introduce the Grand Canal to readers.
D. To describe the shape of the canal.
56. What was impossible between the north and the south before people began to use the Grand Canal
A. Trading goods. B. Carrying small goods.
C. Traveling by ship. D. Shipping really big goods.
57. What does the underlined word “owe” in Para.4 mean
A. 归功于 B. 运送 C. 欠债 D. 阻碍

A bird went far to look for happiness.
It saw a dying flower smile happily and asked, “You’re dying. Why are you still happy ” “ I’ll have my dream come true,” said the flower. “What’s it ” the bird asked. “To make fruit,” answered the flower. Then the little bird saw it: happiness is hope in the heart.
The bird went on flying and saw a lame（瘸的）duck sing a song happily. “You’re unlucky. How could you be happy ” asked the bird. “Because I helped a little duck stand up”, said the lame duck. So the bird saw it: happiness is love in the heart.
The bird kept flying and saw a spider climb a wall excitedly. It fell off the wall a few times, but didn’t give up. The bird asked in surprise, “You failed many times. Don’t you feel sad ” The spider replied, “If I keep on trying, I’m sure to climb up the wall. Thinking of that, I’m happy.” The bird saw it: happiness is faith in the heart.

Dear Li Hua ,
I’m very happy to tell you my ideas about your problem.
For me, a reporter is usually very busy and has fewer holidays. If you become a reporter in the future, you’ll have little time to spend with your family. However, being a reporter is also meaningful because you can help people know what is going on around the world. What’s more, you will go to more different places and have very different life experiences.
If you can be a teacher in the future, your life will be very wonderful because you will be with so many different students. At the same time, you can enjoy much more holidays doing the things you like.
Both of the two jobs are fantastic. Think about my ideas and your real interest. I believe you can make a good decision.
Yours
Li Hua
