An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that he had nothing left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Robin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.
'My money has been spent freely and many friends have gone,' said the young man. 
'What will happen to me?'
'Don"t worry, young man,' answered Robin. 'Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier.'

Both men and women in the USA usually smile and shake hands when greeting. Good friends and family members may hug(拥抱)each other when they meet. In common situations, a wave(挥手)may be used instead of a handshake. Americans often greet strangers on the street by saying 'Hello' or 'Good morning'. When greeting someone for the first time, Americans commonly say 'Pleased to meet you!' or 'How do you do?' A simple 'Hello' or 'Hi' is also common. Friends often greet each other with 'How are you?' and respond 'Fine, thanks.'
Americans usually do not stand very close to each other, keeping about one arm"s length(长度)apart. However, they may touch one another on the arm or shoulder during conversation. It"s common for couples to hold hands or show love in public. Both men and women dress freely when situations allow, but in formal(正式的)situations it"s usually considered improper(不合适的).
Visiting friends, family, and relatives(亲戚)plays a big part in social life in the United States, and people will travel long distances to do so. People are generally expected to be on time for appointments(约会), or when invited to someone"s home. Guests are expected to make themselves comfortable, to sit where they like and to enjoy themselves. Gifts are not expected, but many guests bring flowers or wine when invited for a meal.

Many years ago when people had no thermometers(温度计), they usually touched a thing to see how hot or cold it was. The following experiment shows how easy it was to make a mistake.
Take three glasses: A glass with very hot water, B glass with very cold water, and C glass with water at room temperature. Then you put a finger of one hand in the hot water, and a finger of the other hand in the cold water. You hold your fingers in the two glasses for a minute. Then you use each finger, one after another, to see how hot or cold the water in C glass is. You will find that the water is warm to the finger that was in the cold water before, but the finger which was in the hot water will feel cold in the same glass of water.
That is why you must always find the temperature in a scientific way. You must not try to tell the temperature as it seems to you.
You will often make a mistake if you take something that seems to you for a real fact. For example, when you are going to an amusement park(游乐园)by bus and you want to get there very quickly, it seems to you that your bus is going very slowly, slower than the other buses. But if it is Sunday and you have much free time, it seems to you all the buses and cars are going very fast.
58. Compare the water temperature in three glasses. Which of the following is right?
A. A glass < B glass
B. B glass > C glass
C. A glass < C glass
D. A glass > C glass
59. What will you find if you put the finger which was in A glass into C glass according to the experiment?
A. The water is hotter than it is in A glass.
B. The water is as hot as it is in A glass.
C. The water is at room temperature.
D. The water is colder than it is in A glass.
60. How should we find the temperature according to the passage?
A. Try to tell as it seems to us.
B. Try to use our fingers.
C. Try to tell in a scientific way.
D. Try to touch something to see how hot it is.
61. What is the main topic about this passage?
A. Physics          B. Chemistry           C. Maths          D. Biology
E
Choose the best title for each paragraph:
62. ____________________
Getting the right amount of sleep is very important for our body and brain because they are changing and developing. Too little sleep makes me the immune system(免疫系统)weak, and you may get ill easily. You may often forget things or can"t do things very well. Then how can we enjoy a good sleep? Here are some tips that may help: Try to go to bed at the same time each night. It helps your body get into a routine. Take a warm bath before bedtime. Don"t watch a scary movie. Don"t exercise just before going to bed.
63. ____________________
There is a good beach near where I live and I often spend a day there. The best part of the beach is the rock pools. There are pools of seawater that stay behind when the tide goes out. I like looking at them because they are often full of different sea creatures. There are usually small crabs in the rock pools. When I try to touch them, they dig holes in the sand and try to hide. Playing on the beach is really fun.
64. _____________________
There was a heavy rain and a strong wind. The rain came down all night. There were floods in some streets. The rain water went into people"s houses, so they had to leave them. In the country, there was water everywhere. Some people had to travel by boat. We often have heavy rain, but not at this time of the year. It is usually dry in March. My teacher told us that the weather is different now from in the past. This is because the world is getting warmer. I hope it doesn"t get too warm. If it gets too warm, the ice will melt at the poles. There will be very bad floods everywhere, and we will all have to move to the mountains!
65. ______________________
Students put on the show. Some students play music. Other students act or do tricks. Most of the students" parents come to the show. The tickets are really expensive because the school puts on the show to get money for the nursing house. This year I was in the show. I read a poem. I have never read a poem in front of people. I was nervous. I practiced reading the poem every day for many weeks before the show. I didn"t want to forget any of the words. When I went on the stage, my mouth was dry. 'I can"t do this,' I thought and I wanted to run away. But I made myself begin the poem, and soon I stopped feeling nervous. I read it well and didn"t forget any of the words. Everyone clapped when I finished. I felt very proud, but I was also happy when it was over. I don"t think I want to do that again. Once was enough.
A. A School Show
B. A Day at the Beach
C. A Bad Storm
D. Let"s Enjoy a Nice Sleep


六、阅读短文回答问题。(共5分,每小题1分)

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?
Scientists say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear—and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign language more easily and pronounce them far better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at math. This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments(乐器)always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school bands and orchestras(乐团)enjoy school more and do not drop out of school(离校)early.
You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to persuade(说服)your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit—for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.
Parents should listen to their children playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.
66. Can music help students learn maths better?
____________________________________________________________
67. Why are students who have learnt to play music better at math?
____________________________________________________________
68. Is it good or bad for a child to spend a long time playing an instrument?
____________________________________________________________
69. Who should listen to the children when they are playing instruments?
____________________________________________________________
70. What does playing music with other people teach children?
____________________________________________________________
