Jenkins stood at the huge glass window looking down at the parking lot. “You have to fire him.”

“Who?” William sighed.

“That Casey.”

Jenkins was the firm’s regional manager, and hi s visits were monthly inspection on William’s entire team.

“Casey? He’s my best salesman. You know, youth is a blunder (莽撞), but when he calms down, he is so devoted to his work. Why should I fire him?”

Jenkins craned (伸长) his neck to follow whatever he was watching. “I don’t think he helps to build our company image well.”

“Maybe not, but he’s really a good salesman, a team player, and he inspires everyone in the office and even the whole team here,” William said. “I won’t do it.” Technically, as director of this team, he and Jenkins were equals, but William knew that he had to play this carefully.

“What you call inspiring, I call troublesome. Look!”

William walked over to see what he was talking about. Down in the parking lot was a strange sight indeed. Casey was dancing circles in the drop-off zone. He had his shirt tied around his waist, shoes and socks off, and smile you could see from the fifth

floor. One by one Casey’s co-workers were joining him. Each took off what clothes they could and danced like a feather in the wind.

“Inspiring? It’s crazy.” Jenkins was looking seriously angry, face red.

“We were once young, weren’t we?” William said with a huge smile spreading across his face. “He’s doing the dodo dance. It’s not crazy. It’s SPRING. We all enjoy this time of the day!” He said, pulling down his tie as he headed to the door.

21. What kind of person is Casey in William’s opinion?

A. Strict but open-minded.

B. Motivational and hardworking.

C. Kind and easy-going.

D. Stubborn but considerate.

22. What made Jenkins angry?

A. Casey’s casual behaviours.

B. Casey’s ignorance of his work.

C. William’s disrespect.

D. The trouble William made.

23. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The company image will be damaged.

B. Jenkins will fire William.

C. William will join Casey in the dance.

D. Casey will be laid off.

This Monday, the nation will start to celebrate Presidents’ Day, just seven days before George Washington’s birthday. Everyone agree s that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washington’s Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents’ Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washington’s Birthday. Confused yet?

George Washington was elected the country’s first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians

say the actual date of George Washington’s birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 ye ars later shifted all dates, making Washington’s birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birthday. In 1968, Co ngress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holiday’s name. It was still called Washington’s Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to inclu de Abraham Lincoln, whose actual birthday is February 12.

Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the country’s first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.

Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term “George Washington’s Birthday”. But none of those laws have been passed. Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term “Presidents’ Day”. Many stores use it to promote holiday sales.

Should the holiday honor Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents? Write to emailbag@timeforkids. com. and tell us what you think.

24. The President’s Day was originally designed to honor ______.

A. George Washington

B. Abraham Lincoln

C. all presidents

D. Washington and Lincoln

25. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Washington’s Birthday is the same as Lincoln’s.

B. The change in the calendar system was not wise.

C. The new act changed the holiday’s n ame.

D. This Monday is the third one of this February.

26. What’s the main argument about this holiday?

A. When to celebrate the holiday.

B. How to celebrate the holiday.

C. Which president to honor.

D. Where to celebrate the holiday.

27. What’s the best title for this passage?

A. Why people celebrate President Day.

Make some noise on May 7 for Music Monday. People in the U. S. and Canada will be celebrating the day by singing and playing musical instruments together. Music Monday is the first day of National Wanna Play Music Week, which runs from May 7 to 13. The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) organizes the weeklong celebration every year. This marks the sixth year the organization is teaming up with Canada's Coalition for Music Education (CME), the group that started Music Monday. The CME started Music Monday in 2005. It is held every year on the first Monday of May. It was created to help people realize the importance of music education programs in schools and in communities. The day also celebrates the benefits of playing music for people of all ages.

NAMM researches the effects of music on children. They have found that playing music has positive effects on thinking skills and on confidence. It also teaches self-discipline and helps kids bond with their peers. "Learning musical skills can also help in your studies of other subjec ts, such as math, reading and language.” Lora Bodmer, who works at NAMM, told TFK.

Their studies show that music can also help people form friendships and connect with different groups. Nimmons says anyone can join in on the day, not just those who are musically gifted. "I think that we all have the music in us, and it's a matter of confidence," she said. "Sing with other people or beat drums, just enjoy the music."

Participants can turn on the radio to join the fun. Each year a song is assigned to Music Monday. This year the song is "Tomorrow is Coming," by Luke Doucet.

Students who would like to share in the celebration should let their teacher or organization leader know. But NAMM also encourages people to pick up any instrument and play anytime on the day. It's about having fun and enjoying the benefits that come with it.

28. It can be inferred that NAMM and CME belong to ______.

A. Canada

B. the US

C. both Canada and the US

D. Canada and the US separately

29. According to the third paragraph, music brings benefits to children in ______ aspects.

A. three

B. four

C. five

30. According to Nimmons, Music Monday participators should be ______.

B. students in schools

C. old citizens in communities

D. without limits

31. Students are unable to join in Music Monday ______.

A. with radio turned on

Vancouver. B.C.—For six months.，Ted Schredd and Deanna Kopel cycled around North America to show others a way to help the environment. “Nobody wants to breathe dirty air—but for the air to change. People have to stop driving cars,” says Ted, “If more people start riding bikes,the air will be cleaner.”

Ted started his trip alone. He had $ 160 in his pocket and plans to cycle around North America. He left his hometown of Vancouver, and when he arrived in San

Diego he got the chance to make some extra money for the rest of his 13, 000 km trip.

A cyclist he met asked him to speak at an environment meeting in Texas. Within a few hours, Ted was on a plane to the meeting and it was a big surprise.

When he met Deanna at the meeting, they talked for six hours straight. It was love at first sight. The next day, he called her to ask if she wanted to finish the trip with him. She said yes, sold everything in her flat, gave her notice at work, and was on the road with Ted three weeks later.

Deanna found Ted’s timetable difficult because he got up early in the morning. Deanna was a nurse and usually worked at night. “All of a sudden, I was up at six when I wanted to sleep until noon,” said Deanna.

As the couple cycled to Florida and up to Montreal and then back to Vancouver, every day was an adventure. They got free meals in restaurants, and slept in people’s yards. When they ran out of money, people gave them extra cash. Sometimes people gave away $50 or $100.

And like all good stories this one has a happy ending. On the way back to Vancouve r, they stopped in Edmonton to visit Ted’s relatives. During the visit, they got married. People tied ten cans and a “Just Married” sign to the back of their bikes. They now want to write a book about their trip. “We want people to know that you can protec t our earth and still have fun,” Schredd said.

32. What did Ted Schredd believe to be a way to protect the environment?

A. Driving less.

B. Breathing clean air.

C. Saving waste tin cans.

D. Staying healthy by cycling.

33. Why did Ted speak at an environmental meeting?

A. He could get a big surprise.

B. He was in the city of the meeting.

C. He wanted his opinion familiar to more people.

D. He hoped to find someone to help him.

34. What difficulty did Deanna meet after starting the trip with Ted?

A. Getting free meals in restaurant.

B. Sleeping in people’s yards.

C. Getting up very early.

D. Missing her friends.

35. In what way does the story have a happy ending for Ted and Deanna?

A. They got married during their trip.

B. They got together with their relatives.

C. They wrote a book about their experience.

D. They became very famous in America.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Although problems are part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or another, you’ll have to stand up and say, “Problems,

I don’t want you in my life.”

36 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children --- the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.

But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems. Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problems can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go.

Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.

Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 39

Your problems aren’t the worst.No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 Your problems might just seem bigger and worse, but in reality they can be removed. Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.

A. When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?

B. Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born.

C. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.

D. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.

E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.

F. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?

G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.

As the tears that rolled 58 my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly 59 by other drops ... and more drops ... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was raining! The rain that day 50 our farm, just like the action of one little boy saved a life.

Dear Sara,

Knowing that you are interested in the Dragon Boat Festival in Jingzhou, I am writing to tell you about it and give you some advice.

The Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is an important Chinese festival in memory of a great poet named QuYuan. It is said that Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River. Knowing him as a good man, local people rowed boats along the river in search of him. They also threw rice into the river to feed the fish so that they would not eat the body of Qu Yuan. That’s why Chinese people celebrate the festival by eating zongzi and holding dragon boat competitions.

Zongzi is a kind of dumpling made of glutinous rice with meat and eggs inside. I suggest you try some. I also recommend that you watch the grand dragon boat competitions.

Wish you a pleasant journey in Jingzhou.

Yours,

Li Hua
