My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn't have a father at home on Father's Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved(be worth) a present on Father's Day than her?
I bought her a little set of tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers(鉗子) and screwdriver(螺絲起子) and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother's Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father's Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father's Day memories better than the Mother's Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father's Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.
【小題1】Which sentence shows that divorce was very uncommon at that time?

A．My parents divorced when I was 8 years old.
B．My parents’ marriage was a mistake of World War II.
C．My mother has got cards on Father’s Day.

【小題2】What did the writer decide to do when he saw friends shopping for Father’s Day presents?
A．Go shopping with his friends.
B．Buy a present for his mother.
C．Help his mother.
D．Ask his grandfather for help.
【小題3】“Hammer, pliers and screwdriver” are probably things __________.
A．more often used by men
B．that cost a lot of money
C．very popular at that time
D．that his mother liked most
【小題4】Mother was excited because __________.

It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on* to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.

　　Since last year, the trend* of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update* their blogs over five times per day.

　　"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."

　　It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study all the time, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."

　　But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.

　　Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.

　　---Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.

　　---Never micro blog in class.

　　---Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.

　　---Be critical*. Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.

1.The underlined part "out of the loop" in the passage probably means                 .

　　A. not popular    B. not excited    C. unhealthy        D. unlucky

2.Micro blog made Simon       when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro biog.

　　A. feel sad       B. let out stress   C. add pressure      D. make friends

3.We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can                  .

　　A. make kids crazy while logging on to it        

 B. bring a lot of misleading messages

　　C. become a window to understand young kids      

D.lead to worse communication

4.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. It's good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.

　　B.Kids should trust all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful.

　　C.The trend of micro blogging has swept the country since five years ago.

　　D. Kids should try to talk face to face with people, not just micro blogging.

I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly(被徹底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正（T）誤（F）
