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, "Ha! Its easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer." The third blonde looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM . the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隱形眼鏡)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didnt know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file." He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspects file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile. "Wow! I cant believe it . its TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?" "Thats easy," the blonde replied, "he cant wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"56. Which of the following cannot conclude from the passage that detectives should have? A. They must be charming. B. Their observation must be keen. C. They must be humorous. D. They must be good at thinking.57. According to the passage we can infer that _. A. the suspect was easy to be recognized B. the picture was just a side of the suspect C. the suspect must be a disabled person D. the suspect was caught by the policeman58. What will probably happen to the three blondes after this test? A. The first blonde may be accepted as a detective at once. B. The second blonde may be accepted as a detective at once. C. The third blonde is good at thinking and neednt any training. D. All of them may be given more training courses or fired.BHonestly, 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 dont pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids attitude.Ill 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 "No" to their childrens demands. As a result, all of their children became stubborn and wont listen to their parents words, "We cant."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 writers 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.CStudents 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(顧問). 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 lifes challenges(挑戰(zhàn)). Counsellors have special training in how to help kids solve problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves. That doesnt 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(應(yīng)付) it. Coping is an important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult problems. Coping means thatsomeone istrying 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 counsellors 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 school63. 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.

As a student, I think we should do something in answer to his call. We cant do something great but we may do something closely connected with our life. At first, wed better not waste money on too much junk food such as ice cream, soft drinks or bread. Its 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 dont turn them on in the day time. Its a bad habit to leave the water flowing all the time. Everyone should remember to turn off the taps after using water. Although we have to buy some pens, pencils, notebooks and some other things for study, we mustnt waste
