One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies I remembered something happened when I was young.When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.

We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.

I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird flied about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.

I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.

The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken good care of my little bird.

Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.”

Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

39.Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?

    A.He had just got a new cage.        B.He liked its beautiful feather.

    C.He wanted a pet for a companion.   D. He wanted it to sing for him.

40.The mockingbird died because it ______.

    A.drank the poisonous water by mistake      B.was frightened to death 

    C.refused to eat anything                   D.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it  41.An ornithologist probably means ______.

    A.a religious person             B.a kind person

    C.an expert in birds              D.a schoolmaster

42.What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?

A.Freedom is very valuable to all living things.

    B.All birds put in a cage won’t live long.

    C.You should keep the birds from their mother.

D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

Sometimes people cheat in daily life. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.

Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.

Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.

Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.

If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.

A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

47.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.

 A.teachers should punish them

B.it does harm to their heath

    C.it is unfair to other people

D.teachers shouldn’t stop them at once

48.Some students like cheating mainly because_________.

    A.the material in the test is very difficult

 B.they want to do better than the others

 C.cheating can make hard things seem very easy

    D.they have little time to study their lessons

49.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.

A.cheating isn’t a good idea

    B.some kids don’t spend the time studying

 C.some kids can’t pass the test without cheating

 D. why kids cheat in the test

 50.We can learn from the passage______.

 A.cheaters are often thought highly of

 B.people show no respect for those who cheat

C.parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble

D.kids cheat in the test because of swim practice

All children want to have pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount?   5

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.    52    Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money. 

First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time.     5 

In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.     54    

Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want.     55  Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children. 

A One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. 

B They can save it for future use. 

C Timing is another consideration. 

D As helping at home is a normal part of family life. 

E Some children are not good at managing their pocket money. 

F Learning how to get money is very important for every child.   

G By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.
