Once he put his mouth in the ink bottle. There was another time when he almost *hanged 36 on a rope. But he was never badly hurt. Everything that made him think of the forest excited him. It seemed that he could never forget things in his homeland. He 37 to the forest. Back home now. I 38 Pike. I always wear one of his feathers in my hat. But I have had good 39 now.

I help keep people safe, especially on the roads. Take a look and see what I did last week. Our neighbors boy ran in front of a car to get his ball. The car almost hit him. Luckily, I rushed and saved him. Remember, always look and listen. Walking on the street at night can be very dangerous, especially if you wear dark clothes. Car drivers cant see you very well, just like these two kids with black coats. I had to take them home. Luckily I never go out without my colorful jacket. Remember, be seen! People can get very angry when driving, usually for silly reasons. One driver started shouting at mom today when she stopped to let some children cross the road. I soon made him stop. One thing makes me really mad. People walk on a dangerous road when they can walk on the safe *pavement. I saw two girls doing that today, but I soon made them change their minds. *Seat belts can save your life! I make sure everyone in our car wears his seat belt. If he forgets, I soon remind him. Even Ive got one. I like Fridays. The roads are quieter. But you still have to be careful. I caught dad talking on his mobile phone while driving, I soon stopped him though. Today mom took me for a walk. One car was parked in a very dangerous place. It was right on the corner of the street. Don't worry though. I left a message.44. What does Dino think is dangerous on the road?A. Look and listen if there is a car B. Youd better not wear dark clothes at night.C. Walk on the safe pavement. D. A car is parked on the corner of the street.45. To be safe, you should when you are in the car.A. sit in the front B. wear a seat belt C. wear dark clothes D. talk on a mobile phone46. Why does Dino like Fridays?A. Because he can take a walk. B. Because he can eat lots of delicious food. C. Because there was less traffic on the road. D. Because he can wear his colorful jacket.47. This passage is about .A. how to driver a carB. what a family dog didC. the rules for cars D. how to be safe on the roadCWhen Katie grew a 40-pound cabbage, she didnt know that she was beginning to develop a dream as well. When the 10-year-old girl from South Carolina realized how much cabbage was in her garden, she decided to donate it to needy families by working with Fields to Families, a *nonprofit organization in South Carolina that gives fruit and vegetables to the hungry people.Katies cabbage fed nearly 300 people and it encouraged her to learn more about childhood hunger in the United States. It is said that more than 12 million kids in the Unite States go to bed hungry each night. Katie decided to take actions.Her first task was to work together with her family to make their own garden larger so that they could donate more vegetables to needy families. But she also wanted to teach other children how to take part in the organization and join them. To grow her idea, she started the planting of a garden at her school, which also donates its product to hungry people. Through a rich donation from Fields to Families, Katies school is receiving seeds and volunteer help, and Katie will get the chance to work there with a gardener as her teacher!Katie also designed her own “No Hungry Children!” T-shirt, which can be bought online. A part of the money from her T-shirt sales helps Katie, as well as the work of Amazing Kids, another nonprofit organization that *focuses on the dreams of kids like Katie.“I think it is important to have something to *strive for,” says Katie. “By planting a garden or just some seeds in a pot you can make a difference. My cabbage alone fed 275 people. If more kids did the same, we all could be helping to make a long-time dream of no hungry people possible.”48. According to the passage, Fields to Families .A. is in North Carolina B. grows rice and meat C. works to feed hungry people D. gives jobs to poor families49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Katie can take part in three nonprofit organizations.B. Katie made her friends gardens larger to grow vegetables.C.

The best title for this passage can be _.A. Katie, a Girl Full of IdeasB. Everyone Can Make a SuccessC. Young Katie Helps Fight Against HungerD. American Hungry Children in Need of HelpDPiano lessons: You and a teacher, alone in a room, while you beat your way through Beethoven. The clock ticked. Your mom waited outside. All you wanted to do was to go and play with your friends. In America, this *scene has played millions of times for students. Is there any other way? Yes! In Europe, piano lessons are the *exception to the rule. In Europe, kids play with their friends. Kids play the piano, the guitar, the violin and many other instruments, all in group music lessons. They sing in group lessons and enjoy lessons together. They share in friendly competitions. They help each other succeed. And sometimes, mom doesnt have to wait outside during the lesson, sometimes shes in class, too. Some families even take lessons together! World-famous musician Jean-Pierre Rampal said, “In France, we have a different way of teaching-in France, we teach a class of just 16 students. They play for each other, and they listen to each other. I believe this is the only way to teach.” Rampal, like other European music teachers, believes that musicians thrive in groups-not just for performing, but for learning, as well. Now the idea is being *adopted by some American music educators, who see the importance in group music lessons. “Music doesnt have to be a *separating experience,” says Michael Kaufman, an experienced music teacher and owner of The Music Garden, a music school in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. “Many kids are afraid of music lessons because its time away from their friends. Group lessons make it possible for friends to take piano or guitar lessons together. And when kids learn together, it is easier for them to practice and play together outside of music class. Instead of hating piano lessons, they learn how much fun making music can be.” Besides the fun, group lessons have other advantages, too. Because the cost of a teacher can be cut among the class, group lessons often cost up to 60 less than a traditional lesson. Friends, or brothers and sisters of different ages, can take lessons together. And for families, learning an instrument together is a great way to spend relaxing time.52. In America, traditional music lessons were to children before.A. boring B. lively C. interesting D. exciting53. The underlined word "thrive" in the passage probably means .A. give performanceB. grow strongerC. increase in numberD. make progress54. Which is NOT an advantage of group music lessons?A. Moms dont
