Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa?” her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.
“Mother, you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,” Farah answered.
“Really? And what are the rules?” her mother asked.
“Well, only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so…you know…dark.”
“I cannot believe it,” her mother said angrily.
As Farah left the kitchen, her father called her from the living room.
Farah went to her father and paled(吓得脸发白) when she saw the exam report in his hands.
“Farah, what has happened to your grades? You have failed in Mathematics.” Her father said.
Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
“Farah, it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考). If your grades don’t improve then, I’ll cancel your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club. “Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?”
Gina laughed. “Exams? Who cares about exams?”
One by one, she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.
Farah knew Hafsa would help her. Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her, but Hafsa said, “If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams.”
Next Monday, as two friends entered the school together, Gina called out.
“Farah, you know our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”
“Gina, I have a new rule about friendship,” Farah replied.
21. After Farah became a member of Purple Girls Club, she chose a friend according to a
person’s .

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 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 lack 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 demands 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 gradually finish his job successfully. 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 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 merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
28. Parents in China, according to this passage, ____________.
A. are too strict with their children
B. are too rich to educate their children
C. have some problems in educating their children correctly
D. are too poor to educate their children
29. Generally speaking, what most parents fail to realize is ______.
A. that their children need to take extra-course activities
B. that the more expensive an education is, the better it is
C. that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence
D. that their children first need to be a good cook if they want to get good marks in the
exams
30. The writer of this passage does not seem to be satisfied with_______.
A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children
B. the education system
C. children’s skills
D. children’s hobbies
31. Doing some cooking at home helps children_________.
A. learn how to serve their parents
B. learn how to become strong and fat
C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
D. make their parents believe that they are clever
32. According to the last paragraph we can conclude that______.
A. broken radios and television sets are useful
B. one's curiosity may be useful for his later life
C. an engineer must fix many broken radios
D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios
D
Ant farm lessons
I learned about life from an ant（蚂蚁）farm. When I was 7 years old, my family created one for me. First, we put clean sand (沙子)in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive. Shortly after the ants were dropped into the glass structure（结构），they got to work making tunnels (隧道). I was surprised that each one knew just what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs. With my mom’s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants.
One day a tragedy（悲剧) struck the ant farm. The pages of my diary, still wrinkled（起皱） where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy. I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped（翻倒）it over, caving（坍塌）in all the tunnels. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die.
I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm．My mother said that the ants were dying of “frustration”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed (毁坏).
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more. Over the years, I came to realize how much the ants benefited from their teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored（劳动）at their task, The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (坚持不懈）are two key ingredients to success.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity（不幸）is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment. Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a choice.
33.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A.The author and her mother guided the ants about where to make tunnels.
B.It took the ants several days to realize that they should make tunnels.
C.The author’s family created an ant farm for her and put some ants inside.
D.The author was very interested in the ants and spent lots of time watching them.
34.What happened after the author tipped the ant farm over?
A. All the tunnels were destroyed
B. Some ants were crushed to death
C. The ants started working again even though they were very sad
D. The ants that survived left those who had died in the sand
35.What is the biggest lesson that the author learned from the ants?
A.New beginnings are always hard.
B.Adversity is what makes people successful.
C.Teamwork and perseverance are key to success
D.When things don’t go well, we shouldn’t give up.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Staying fit is a great bonus to life and can lead you to be a happy and healthier person. _ 36 There are some helpful strategies(策略） to keep fit and stay healthy that can be done.
1. Start walking, jogging or cycling. No matter what your speed is, walking, jogging and cycling are very important parts of a healthy lifestyle. 37 If you need to keep your knees strong then cycling is the best solution. If you jog you should jog at least a kilometer to keep the fat off, but it is very important to pace yourself. If you live close enough to work or school a good solution would be to start walking or cycling.
2. Know when to eat and what to eat. A lot of people might think that they will lose weight by skipping a meal but that is very inaccurate. 38 It is really important to avoid skipping meals. Besides, it’s very important to get rid of any junk food. Junk foods contain little or no nutrition. If you eat lots of junk food you will not get any fitter. This is because the junk food turns to fat almost immediately.
3. 39 Do not care what other people think. If you are determined and believe that you can achieve your goal of staying fit then you can! Know that feeling when you feel great and strive to reach that goal every day. Motivate yourself by wanting to continue on this path of fitness and health. You want to feel good, you want to look good, you want to be healthy...and you absolutely can! 40 Following a routine is much easier than just assuming you will get to exercising or you will get to eating a healthy meal. You are the only one that can control your actions and strong willpower can make you happy!
A. Have belief in yourself.
B. Don’t let others bring you down.
C. They are activities that keep your muscles active and your blood flowing.
D. In fact, skipping meals can result in losing nutrition your body needs.
E. It can be very helpful if you have someone keeping healthy and fit with you.
