Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn’t want to live there, and he didn’t want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.
His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver’s license just before his eighteenth birthday.
The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad!” When everything was done, they were ready to leave.
Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, “It’s my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!”
His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.
So he said, smiling, “I’m sure you’re back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive.”
“No,” Dad replied, “Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!”
小題1:Which of the following is NOT the reason why Martin’s father agreed to buy him a car?.
A．Martin would go to college and it was far from home.
B．Martin preferred living at home to living at college.
C．Martin didn’t want to take the public transport.
D．Martin was able to learn how to drive very quickly.
小題2:In which order did Martin do the following things?
a. He finished his high school.               b. He test-drove driving the new car.
c. He got his driver’s license.                d. He decided to buy the Blue Bird.
e. He kicked the front seat while his father was driving.
A．e—a—c—b—dB．a(chǎn)—c—b—d—eC．e—c—a—b—dD．a(chǎn)—c—d—b—e
小題3:How would the whole family probably feel on their way back home?
A．AngryB．SadC．CheerfulD．Shocked

Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winter vacation—and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盤行動).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.“Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?”They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. It’s a tradition that Chinese people offer lots of food when they invite others to dinner. Many even feel that they will lose face if their guests have eaten all their food.
Luckily the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers(剩飯剩菜) home.
Wasting food is a serious problem around the world, not only in China. It’s said that 2 billion tons(噸) of food ends up as waste every year in our country. This is as much as half of all the food in the world. The UN Environment Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization held a“Think, Eat, Save” program on January 24 to help reduce food waste.
To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?
小題1:The Clean Your Plate Campaign calls on people to __________.
A．do volunteer workB．work part time in restaurants
C．stop wasting foodD．wash their plates after dinner
小題2:What did the restaurant in Xinjiang do to support the campaign?
A．The owner would have dinner with those who had eaten up their food.
B．It offered a free meal to the guests who had finished all their food ten times.
C．It gave stickers to the guests who ordered small dishes.
D．It encouraged customers to take leftovers home.
小題3:From the passage , we can know that __________.
A．wasting food is a serious problem in China
B．Chinese people waste the most food in January
C．200 million Chinese people invite others to dinner every day
D．Chinese people usually don’t offer enough food to their guests
小題4:You can probably read this passage _________.
A．in a science book B．in a newspaper
C．in a tourist guide D．in an advertisement

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms（習語）, though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head，shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted（打斷）again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
