When Ben Franklin was only a boy，he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What？”and “How？” and “Why？”

They couldn't always tell him what he wanted to know．

When they couldn't tell him，Ben tried to find out for himself．

Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say，“That Ben Franklin！He's always finding out something new！”

Ben lived close to the water．He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water．

One day Ben said to himself，“Why can't the wind help me float（漂浮）across the water？And I'm going to try.” Ben got his big kite．He took hold of the kite string（線）and ran with it．The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water．

The wind blew the kite high into the air．Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side，and he had not worked at all．

One boy shouted，“Look at Ben floating across the water！His kite takes him to the other side without any work！”

“Yes,” said another．“He's always finding new ways to do things.”

1.When he was only a child，Ben  ________．

2.His father and brothers ________．

3.In the passage，the sentence “and he had not worked at all” means“_______”．

Earthquakes happen without warning（前兆）．They can happen any time of a day，at any point during the year．When an earthquake is happening， you should know what you should do or not do．

Do NOT go outside．You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings．If you are outside，stay away from buildings and power lines（輸電線）．

Stay under a desk，table，or other strong furniture．Hold on to it．Or stay in a corner of the building．Cover your face and head with your arms and cover your mouth with a towel or clothing．Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside．

Keep away from windows，pictures or advertisements on the wall or the building，and anything else that could fall and hurt you．Most people get injured by falling things during an earthquake，not by the shaking itself．

Also keep away from a fire．You could fall down and burn yourself on the fire．

If you are driving when an earthquake happens，stop the car if it’s safe．Stay inside your car until the earthquake stops，and don’t drive near bridges．Try not to stop by power lines or trees．These could fall and hurt you．

1.It isn’t safe for you to ______ while the earthquake is happening．

2.From this passage，we know ______ .

3.The best title for this passage should be “ _____________ ”

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should prove it. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong ― even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培養(yǎng)).

1.The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person _______.

3.What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?
