They also got to know how butterflies grow up. Colorful butterflies flew freely at the show. They sometimes landed on visitors. Look! A large blue butterfly sits on the nose of the girl.
★ Earlier in April 2014, Sanlian Taofen Bookstore became the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing. It hopes to encourage more people to read books.
“We welcome everyone who loves to read books at any time.” The general manager of the store told China Youth Daily.
Although many people can now buy books online, many readers still like the feeling in bookstores. They can touch the books and smell the print.

Starting in 2014, students aged 7-11 in the UK need to study one of seven foreign languages. They can choose from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek(希腊语) and Chinese.

Better think twice before choosing a password for e-mail, online bank or shopping. Simple passwords are easy to be stolen.
A password is like a key to your home. If someone steals it, he’ll get chances to steal something else. We use passwords everywhere in our life. We are so used to passwords that we don’t pay any attention to them until we lose or forget one.
A study of 28,000 passwords recently stolen from a popular website showed that people often do the easy thing. It found that 16 percent took a first name as a password. Another 14 percent used the easiest keyboard combinations such as “12345678” or QWERTY. Five percent of the stolen passwords were names of television shows or stars popular with young people. Three percent of the passwords expressed feelings like “I don’t care,” “Whatever,” “Iloveyou,” or their opposite, “Ihateyou.”
Robert Graham, who did the study, advises people to choose a password that is longer than eight characters with one capital letter(大写字母) and one symbol.
Of course, safe passwords don’t mean those hard to remember. Forgetting your password is sometimes a big headache for you. Maybe, the perfect password is easy for you and hard for others.
48. The underlined word “password” in Paragraph 1 means __________.
A. 标志 B. 护照 C. 密码 D. 口诀
49. About 40% passwords are easily stolen because the users are ______.
A. busy B. lazy C. stupid D. careful
50. Which of the following passwords is considered the safest?
A. ZXCVBN. B. password56. C. wy64#0Mv. D. Ihateyou.
On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”
“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”
I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change...”
51. When the author and Rose first met, they began their conversation in a ________ manner.
A. polite B. impolite C. serious D. humorous
52. Rose went to the university in order to _______.
A. meet a rich husband B. make new friends

Good afternoon, everybody,
I’m very pleased to be here to talk about my English reading. As we all know, reading plays an important part in learning a language. It’s very necessary to read a lot. In the past, I often borrowed books from the library. At the beginning, I read something easy and interesting. Later, I began to read longer and more difficult stories, like Danny’s Dreams. By reading, I have improved my English and become more interested in learning English. I plan to read some English novels and simple English poems during this summer vacation. In the future, I will read more English books. And I will form a good habit of reading and try to read every day. I’m sure reading will be quite helpful for my further English learning. (113 words)

On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”
“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”
I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change...”
51. When the author and Rose first met, they began their conversation in a ________ manner.
A. polite B. impolite C. serious D. humorous
52. Rose went to the university in order to _______.
A. meet a rich husband B. make new friends

D. she knew the difference between growing older and growing up
54. The word“That”in Paragraph 7 refers to(指)________.

Good afternoon, everybody,
I’m very pleased to be here to talk about my English reading. As we all know, reading plays an important part in learning a language. It’s very necessary to read a lot. In the past, I often borrowed books from the library. At the beginning, I read something easy and interesting. Later, I began to read longer and more difficult stories, like Danny’s Dreams. By reading, I have improved my English and become more interested in learning English. I plan to read some English novels and simple English poems during this summer vacation. In the future, I will read more English books. And I will form a good habit of reading and try to read every day. I’m sure reading will be quite helpful for my further English learning. (113 words)
Thanks for listening!
