It was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window.

   “Who's there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning;I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien that I had seen on the television show ,“the X files."

   I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party. I peeped out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. It was dark but I knew the way to my drawer where I kept my camera. I ran there and took out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off. And then I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. But I could not. I felt too scared. I sat up,and my mind was full of thoughts. I didn't fall asleep until late at night.

   I woke up and found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a tape and found them to be exactly the same size as my father's shoes. The footprints ended at the door of my house. I then went to town to get the film developed. But when I saw the photos I was shocked. They were black and I could hardly see anything. Then I remembered that I did not use the flash.

   When I reached home I told my father about it and he started to laugh. I started laughing too when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party.

   As children get older,what they are able to contribute around the house will increase. For every new duty you introduce,or even for small favors,you might find your child asking ,“How much will you give me?” You shouldn’t have to negotiate “wages” for responsibilities (責(zé)任) that are shared or for things that just need doing.

   By paying children for chores with an allowance,you may be teaching your kids the value of work,but you’ll also be sending the message that work isn’t worth doing unless he/she is getting paid for it. Suppose you’re giving your son an allowance for mowing the lawn,but then your neighbor offers him slightly more for mowing his lawn. Does that mean your son should stop mowing your family's lawn and mow the neighbor's instead?

   As your children grow and mature,they may find other avenues to earn money for themselves— babysitting after school,even birthday money. The fact that they may have outside sources of money should not excuse them from having to do their basic household duties. By keeping chores and allowances separate,parents can avoid this conflict (沖突) altogether.

() 1. By paying children for chores with an allowance,you may be teaching your kids .

   A. the use of work   B. the importance of work

   C. the payment of work   D. the value of work

() 2. Children can't earn money by .

   A. helping others

   B. babysitting after school

   C. mowing their own family's lawn

   D. mowing their neighbor's lawn

   A. can't   B. mustn't   C. may   D. have to

   Most parents are crazy with their children's little white lies,but here is a piece of good news. A study has shown that children who lie from an early age are more likely to become high-flying leaders,executives (管理者) and bankers. The study of 1 ,200 children has found that a fifth of two-year-olds are likely to tell lies,rising to 90 percent from the age of four. At the age of 12 ,it reaches the highest.

   Dr Kang Lee studied children from the age of two to seventeen. He said ,“Parents should not be worried if their child tells a lie about something that is not important. Almost all children lie. Those children who lie better mean that they can cover up their mistakes. “They may become executives in later life. Lying shows that children have developed executive ability — an act which involves several brain processes to keep the truth at the back of their mind ,” Dr Lee said. 

   Dr Lee told the children not to look at a purple Barney toy dinosaur (恐龍) placed behind their back. He then left the room for one minute —giving them time to look,while their activities were filmed. Nine of the ten children did turn around.

   But most of the children denied (否認(rèn)) it. While the study found the most dishonest age was 12 ,it dropped to about 70 percent once the children turned to 16 years old.

() 1. The passage mainly talked about the lies from.

   A. children   B. parents   C. boys   D. girls

   A. 8   B. 10   C. 12   D. 17

() 3. Children who lie better may become in the future.

   If someone asks you about India or Asia's great achievements,you may say,Mango!Yes,the mango (芒 果) . Today we all know that the mango is rich in vitamin (維生素) A.C andD.

   How did the mango get its name? It5s an interesting story. The name mango comes from Tamil. From man-kay or man-gay,then it changed to manga. The people who gave it the name manga or mango were the Portuguese (葡萄牙人) . They first came to India,across the sea,about 500 years ago. As they started living in parts of India,they discovered the mango. They seemed to want more of it so they started experimenting with new kinds of mangoes—the famous Alphonso or Mulgoa that we like best today is the result of their hard work.

   Mango is a kind of fruit which has been enjoyed for 3,000 years. Imagine,while Indians have been talking excitedly about the fruit for 3,000 years,the western world has had it for only 300 years!But how do we know that Indians have enjoyed the mango for 3,000 years? Simple,they were excited enough to write about its good qualities in books.

   Down the ages,the mango has got some new qualities. It is seen as a symbol (象征) of good luck and in many parts of west and south India,mango leaves are put up at the front door. It is a belief (看法) that the mango tree is able to make wishes come true.

                                   Muzak 

      The next time you go into a bank,a store,or a supermarket,stop and listen. What do you hear? 1 It's similar to the music you listen to,but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you,or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you dont even realise the music is playing,but you react to the music anyway.

    Quiet background music used to be called “ elevator (電梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places,and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every da. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time,with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning,and between three and four in the afternoon,when people are more tired. 2

     If you listen to Muzak carefully,you will probably recognise the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don5t want their songs to be used as Muzak,but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3 

    Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proved that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.

     5 They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another,Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

   A. Some people don't like Muzak.

   B. The music gives them extra energy.

   C. Music is playing in the background.

   D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.

   E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.

   F. They get as much as $ 4 million a year if their songs are used.

   G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
