Some English words have more than one meaning. These are called multi-meaning words.

Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let’s look at the word “ball”. You could have a “ball” which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball” which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball” which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball” which means a dance.

__________Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.

How about “fly”? You can “fly” an airplane or you can hit a “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you don’t make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that “fly” of a zipper（拉鏈）is the top part of the zipper.

There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meaning than any other word in the English language. When you have time. Why don’t you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used?

If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? …you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air … which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly? Of course, it can!

1.If Tom is often late for work and fails to finish his tasks, he will ________.

A. do the can-can B. get canned

C. be on the ball D. go to a ball

2.According to the passage, the word “_______” has the most meanings in the English language.

There are many stories and poems about the Moon in Chinese history. And nowadays scientists send spaceships to the Moon. Why? Because people are always interested in the Moon and want to know more about it. Here is some information (信息) about it. Let’s see it together.

The Moon looks beautiful and bright at night. It is far away from the Earth and if you want to get to the Moon, it will take you about 6 months to get there by car at 95km per hour.

David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.

In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he read a lot during the school year. And he never went into a library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.

David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library.

David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.

He was surprised to find that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn’t seem to be such a terrible thing.

1.What did David’s mother want him to do?

A. Play basketball with Jim. B. Take a walk in the street.

C. Read books in the library. D. Return his sister’s books.

2.Which of the following sentences could be added to the chart?

A. He searched for a light. B. He put the books into the return box.

C. He had a quick drink of water. D. He turned his attention to the library.

3.What did David find after he was locked in the library?

A. He became interested in this place. B. He was very afraid of the dark.

C. His mom was worried about him. D. His friend became nervous about him.
