One afternoon I was coming home from a friends house. It was just after four oclock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮) 12.The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldnt understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, “Just get me out of here. Ill never be bad again.”Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But havent you learned to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said, “Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4 pm and 5 pm on Thursday, March 13.”51. What happened to the lift?A. It had a fire accident. B. It stopped half way. C.

Which one do you think is the best?I think being healthy is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we .give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care. Robin, aged 16, BirminghamI think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There isan old saying, “If you give a man a fish, youll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, youll feed him for lifetime.” We need to help people to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.Rebecca, aged 15, LiverpoolPeople seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster (灾难）like the earthquake. Its good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary(工资）to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference. Mary, aged 14, StratfordGiving money to charity can help, but its not the final answer. I think what these countriesneed is a good government. Bethany, aged 16, NewcastleThe best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves. Robert, aged 16, Cardiff56. Who pays more attention to Africans health care?A. Mary. B. Robin. C. Rebecca. D. Robert.57. Which two children have the similar opinions?A. Mary and Rebecca. B. Bethany and Mary.C. Rebecca and Bethany. D. Rebecca and Robert.58. What does Rebecca mean by saying “We need to help people to help themselves”?A. We should help the teachers in Africa to improve their teaching ways.B. We should help people in Africa to build a good government.C. We should help the African people develop skills to make a living.D. We should help the African people build more schools.59. What is Marys opinion?A. Everyone should do what they can to help the African people.B. It is not good for people to give so much money to the African people.C. It is very important to have a good government.D. We can send more teachers there to help the African people.60. Where are these suggestions posted?A. In the textbook. B. In the guidebook.C. On the website. D. In the magazine.CFor middle school students in China, its really easy to spend money. There are so many things, such as the latest brand-name(品牌) clothes, video games, expensive handbags and backpacks and so on.The habit of spending money is an easy one to get into, but like most habits, its hard to break. When I was a middle school student, I spent lots of money on stuff (things) that I thought was cool but I didnt really need. I had some fun. But I could have had more fun if I hadnt wasted so much money.When something is the latest and greatest, you want it at once because its new. And you dont want to wait till its old. The problem is that the latest fashions usually cost a lot to follow. But once you own the stuff, it goes out of fashion ver
