learners.The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners,but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade.The website has reading activities,worksheets to download,and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street Workshop Kids loveSesame Street,and it is always educational.This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects.The website has games and stories for small kids,and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.1.Why does Enchanted Learning offer purchasing memberships?A.Charging for the information.B.Charging for downloading materials.C.Giving access to the site without the ads.D.Providing unlimited search for more pages.2.Where can you buy educational materials for your children?A.Enchanted Learning B.Starfall C.Sesame Street Workshop D.Colored pages 3.What is the purpose of this text?A.To introduce.B.To discuss.C.To persuade.D.To educate.B Put your hand over your heart and sit very still.You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum.Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life.For this reason,the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana,a country inAfrica,many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class.Through the drum,the children ofGhanaalso learn about their history and culture.They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum.The stories of the drum also teach children games,rules and lessons about behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica,drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history.Drums told the coming of a king,the start of a war,or the birth of a child.They also allowed people to share messages.But how does a drum tell a story?InWest Africa,the most common drum used for communication is called a“talking drum”.By making higher orlower drum sounds,the drummer can make the drum“talk”.In many African languages,words go up and down in pitch(高音)when they are spoken,almost like a song.Depending on the pitch or tone(音调),the same sound can have many different meanings.For example,when spoken with two low tones,the African word“ilu”means“drum”.When spoken with one high and one low tone,“ilu”means“town”.Drum language works in the same way.Just as in spoken language,the word“ilu”has different meanings depending on how its drummed.When“ilu”is drummed with two beats using low tones,the word means“drum”.When“ilu”is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone,it means“town”.Drummers create“words”to build ideas,sentences and stories.The next time you hear a song,listen for the heartbeat within the music.Can you hear the story of the drum?4.The first paragraph mainly tells us_.A.drums beat like our hearts B.drums have a long history C.drums are widely used in the world D.drums are important for many people worldwide 5.From the text,we learn that inGhanadrums_.A.are not as useful as before B.teach children a lot of things C.help

tells stories D.how to beat a drum 7.What would be the best title for the text?A.Know the history of the drum B.Listen to the story of the drum C.Beat the drum of life D.Love me,love my drum C Why can friendships be hard?Because often people arent as honest and open as they should be.Sometimes,people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need.They care about their own needs much more,which makes it hard for friendships to work.However,being selfish is part of human nature.A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs,not necessarily those needs of other people.Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with,it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as youd like to be treated.This is wonderful advice for a friendship,because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship.Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend,it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you,if he or she is in your shoes.Even if youre always thinking about how youd like to be treated,and your friends are too,there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship,and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships.Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends,or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships.It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones.No one wants to have a broken friendship.8.Why may problems with friendships appear?A.One is selfish.B.One is alone.C.One is too anxious.D.One is too busy.9.Whats the first and most important thing to be other peoples friend?A.Not to hurt your friends feelings.B.To give your friends whatever you have.C.To treat your friends as fairly as possible.D.Not to think of your own needs any more.10.What is the text mainly about?A.The Meaning of Friendships B.The Importance of Friendships C.The Advantages of Friendships D.The Problems with Friendships 11.What may follow the last paragraph of the text?A.How to make many friends.B.How to keep friends happy.C.How to treat friends correctly.D.How to solve friendship issues.D When girls play with cars,theyre serious.It was at primary school that Gu Huijing first became interested in cars after watching some car-themed movies.Born in2004 inShenzhen,Guangdong province,Gu decided to major in automobiles(汽车)when she was in junior high.Shes driven by interest,but she is also a realist.“I think the future of the automobile industry is bright because we cannot live without food,clothes,houses and cars,”she said.In April,she won first prize at a competition for vehicle maintenance(车辆维修)in Dongguan city,which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province.“I thought it couldnt be that hard to repair cars when I started to take courses,but I was totally wrong,”Gu said.When she started learning in 2019,she was frequently confused by various problems.“And competition within our school is intense,so I had to work extra hard,”she said.Her teacher once tried to persuade her to give up as she was a sophomore(大二学生),and wasnt as knowledgeable as the seniors,and no women had ever been selected for the competition before.“But I insisted that I would carry on,”she said.Finally,her training and hard work won her the only place to stand for her school at the competition.A woman winning first prize in a vehicle maintenance competition became a hot topic on-line,causing heated discussions over gender(性别)and career choices.“Women should not be influenced by old-fashioned thinking,and should do whatever it takes to discover their interests and strengths.There are more possibilities out there,”one netizen wrote.Gu said,“Many people think vehicle maintenance is a job for men.Thats wrong.I dont think gender has anything to do with choice of jobs.”“I have a goal and I will work harder to make it happen,”she added.“I will be responsible for my choices.”12.What was a cause of Gus choosing automobiles as her major?A.The love for automobiles.B.The guidance from her parents.C.The high popularity of automobiles.D.The determination to contribute to society.13.Why did Gus teacher advise her to quit the competition?A.She lacked the

describes Gu Huijing?A.Creative and caring.B.Determined and hard-working.C.Independent and humorous.D.Honest and courageous.15.What would be the best title for the text?A.There Is No End To Learning
