28 and felt that he would die,he 29 the three sons to him and said,“My sons,there is a pot of gold 30 in the olive orchard.Dig for it,if you wish it.”The sons tried to 31 him to tell them in what part of the orchard the 32 was hidden,but he would tell them nothing more.After the farmer was 33,the sons went to work to find the pot of gold;since they did not 34 where the hiding-place was,they agreed to begin in a line,at one 35 of the orchard,and to dig until one of them should find the money.They 36 until they had turned up the 37 from one end of the orchard to the other,38 the tree-roots and between them.39 no pot of gold was to be found.It seemed as if someone must have stolen it,or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits.The three sons were bitterly 40 to have all their work for nothing.The next olive 41,the olive trees in the orchard bore（结果实）more fruit than they had 42 given;when it was 43,it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.And when they saw how much money they had 44 the orchard,they suddenly understood what the wise father had 45 when he said,“There is gold hidden in the orchard.Dig for it,if you wish it.”26Afarm Bgarden Cfactory Dhospital 27Afriends Bsons Crelatives

小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项 （A ）New rules and behavior standards（行为规范）for the middle school students came out in March.Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are.The best students wont only have high marks.They will also be kids who dont dye(染)their hair,smoke or drink.The following are some of the new rules.Tell the truth.Have you ever copied others work in an exam?Dont do it again if you did it before!Thats not something an honest student should do.If you have played computer games for two hours in your room,dont tell your parents you have done your homework.Do more at school.Good students love animals and care for other people.April is a bird-loving month in China.Did your school do anything to celebrate?If so,you should join it!In this way,you can learn more about animals and how to protect them.When more people work together,you can get more fun.Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost?Only working together can make your team stronger.Be friendly to the people you are with.Try to think of others,not only yourself.Be open to new ideas.Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon?Maybe youll discover the truth someday.Dont look down on new ideas.Everyones ideas are important.You should welcome them,because new ideas make life better for everyone.Protect yourself.Has anyone ever taken money from one of your classmates?Dont let it happen to you.If you have to go home late,you should let your parents know.Use the Internet carefully.The Internet can be very useful for our studies.But some things on the Internet arent for kids,so try to look at Web pages that are good for you.You can use the Web for fun or homework.Can you find any good websites for children?Here are some.http:/;http:/;http:/.46.The school new rules will help kids by telling them _.A.how they can study well B.what they should do at home C.what is right and what is wrong D.how

them.D.Use the Internet,but keep away from bad things.48.The passage tells us how to _.A.be top students B.do more at school C.care for others D.use the Internet （B ）Playing is a serious business for children.In fact,its what they do best!Ask them why they do it,and kids will probably say,“Because its fun!”But its much more than that.Its also good for them.Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through playing.They use their five senses to get to know their new world.Touching allows them to discover how different things feel.Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a babys sense of sight.When small children choose which toy to play with,they begin developing their abilities in deciding something.Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination.Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy.Thats because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.Crayons,paints and Ply-Doha（彩色塑泥）are also good because they allow children to create.Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.Playing doesnt become any less important once children start school._?.Kids learn how to share,take turns and play by the rules 49.Why is playing a serious business for children?A.Because it is fun.B.Because children like playing.C.Because children can get much more from playing.D.Because children make

make friends,you have to decide who you want to be your friends.Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.The quickest way to make a friend is to smile.When you smile,people think you are friendly and easy to talk to.It may not be easy at first to smile,but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him.Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.Doesnt it make you want to keep talking to that person?Ask your new friends questions about themselves.Whos their favorite singer,where do they live,what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation.Make sure you have something to add to the conversation,too.When someone asks you a question,do have an answer for them.Theres nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug(耸肩)for an answer.Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends.Remember,everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.53.This passage gives us some advice on _.A.how to make friends B.what kind of person you can make friends with C.how to start a conversation D.the importance of smile 54.Most people like to make friends with those_.A.who are sad every

doctor handed me my medicine and said sorry to me because his register(收银机)had already closed.He asked if I would mind using the register at the front of the store.I told him not to worry and walked up front.One person was in line ahead of me,a little girl no more than seven with a bottle of medicine on the counter(柜台).She held a little green and white coin purse closely to her chest(胸口).The purse reminded me of the days when,as a child,I liked dressing myself up in my grandmas clothes.One day,wearing her large clothes and hat,I went out to buy something.I gave a fake(假的)dollar to the shop owner,but he handed back some real coins for my purse.“Keep the change!”he told me with a smile.Now,with both hands shaking,the little girl pulled out a dollar bill and some coins for her medicine.As she tried to count her money,I could see right away that she was about a dollar short.Quickly,I put a dollar bill onto the counter.The child collected her change into her coin purse and ran out.As I walked to my car,I felt a tug(用力拉)on my shirt.There was the girl,looking up at me with her big brown eyes.She gave me a smile,and put out her little hand.It was full of coins.“Thank you,”she said.“Thats OK,”I answered,smiling.“Just keep the change!”57.The doctor said sorry to the writer because _.A.his register had broken down B.his register had closed C.he was busy D.he had used

years we lived next door to each other，and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own.After the flowers became plentiful each summer，she would cut colorful bouquets(花束)to enjoy inside the houseboth hers and mine.I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers on my coffee table.Shortly before Christmas one year，a local flower shop offered a bouquet a month special.It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.After the holidays，in early January，I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first months bouquet.The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase(花瓶)I was so embarrassed(尴尬的)However，after we returned home，she began to arrange the flowers she had received.“Mom，Im sorry，”I told her.“I cant believe how skimpy that bouquet is.”She looked at me and smiled.“Its Okay，”she said.“It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.”Moms words helped me to realize something bigger and more importantwhen we have too many good things，we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.Thanks，Mom，for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.62According to
