It is a beautiful spring morning. There isn't a cloud in the sky. And the sun is warm but not too hot, so Mr. Hunt is surprised when he sees an old man at the bus stop with a big strong black umbrella in his hand..
Mr. Hunt says to him, "Are we going to have rain today, do you think so?"
"No," says the old man, "I don't think so."
"Then are you carrying the umbrella to keep the sun off you?"
"No, the sun is not very hot in spring."
Mr. Hunt looks at the big umbrella again, and the old man says, "I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong, so I really need a walking-stick. But when I carry a walking-stick, people say, 'Look at that poor old man', and I don't like that. When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, 'Look at that stupid (傻的) man.'”
54. What is the weather like in that morning?

“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking?
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.
James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右铭) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t lose heart, and don’t ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.
58．From the passage, we know that some great things come from _____.
A. listening B. reading C. speaking D. thinking
59．The achievement of James Watt was that he _____.
A. kept thinking B. found the steam in the kettle
C. improved the steam engine much D. watched the lid move up and down
60．The right order of the following sentences is _____.
① James Ferguson made a wooden clock.
② James Ferguson saw the inside of a watch.
③ James Ferguson made the mainspring with whalebone.
A. ③ ② ① B. ② ③ ① C. ② ① ③ D. ③ ① ②
61．What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Learn to ask for help.
B. A difficult lesson to learn.
C. It is easy to say “I will think of it.
D. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose
D
Nihal is a high-school athlete(运动员). With the tiring training, he always feels tired and worn out on game days. He wants to know if there is something he can eat before a game that will keep him energetic without slowing him down. Many young athletes have the same question as him.
The overall diet may be slowing you down on game day. During tiring training, it's quite possible that you're not eating enough calories to make up the ones you're using up. One sign that you're not getting enough calories is weight losing.
During training, as always, it's necessary to eat a balanced diet and not cut one of meals to make sure you're getting enough nutrients (营养物) and keeping energy levels.
An excellent meal or snack before games will have lots of carbs (碳水化合物) , some protein (蛋白质) , and very little, if any, fat and fiber (纤维). Fat and fiber are important parts of a balanced diet, but may lead to pains of stomach during exercise. Try a sandwich with some meat and a piece of your favorite fruit. The carbs will give you energy at once and the protein will give you some energy later in the game.
No matter which snack you go with before games, remember to hydrate (水合作用) before, during, and after your game for best performance.
Of course, being tired on game day can be a sign of not getting enough sleep. Most children need at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
62. What is Nihal's problem?
A. He hates the tiring practice schedule B. He's always tired and worn out on game days.
C. He wants to eat something to slow down. D. He wants to lose weight.
63. How do we know a person doesn't get enough calories?
A. He's slowing down. B. He's full of energy.
C. He's thinner than before. D. He feels tired during training.
64. What should an excellent meal have before games?
A. It should have little fat and fiber, much carbs and some protein.
B. It should have a Little carbs, some protein and lots of fat and fiber.
C. It should have lots of protein, some carbs and little fat and fiber.
D. It should have lots of carbs, protein, fat and fiber.
65. What will give you energy later in the game?
A. Fat and fiber. B. A sandwich. C. The carbs. D. The protein.

Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll give a talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的）. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we can send e-mails to our friends，they can get them at once. It can help us communicate(交流)with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
