给句子的最佳答案。
On a summer day, a man sitting under a tree on the bank of a river, watched a group of ducks on the river.
Soon a branch（树枝）with leaves came drifting（漂浮）among them, and they all flew away. After circling in the air for a little time, they landed again on their feeding ground.
Soon another branch came drifting down among them, and again they took flight from the river. But when they found the branch had drifted by without any danger, they flew down to the water as before.
After four or five branches had drifted by in this way, the ducks gave little attention to them. At last, they hardly tried to fly out of their way, even when the branches nearly touched them.
The man who was watching all this, now wanted to know who had drifted these branches. He looked up the river, and noticed a fox slyly（偷偷地）watching the ducks. “What will he do next ” thought the man.
When the fox saw that the ducks were no longer afraid of the branches, he took a much larger branch, and hid himself behind it. Then he drifted himself with the larger branch. When he was right among the ducks, he caught two young ducks quickly and swam off with them. The rest of the ducks flew away in fright（惊吓）, and did not come back for a long time.
The fox must have enjoyed a fine dinner for what he had done.

给句子的最佳答案。
Years ago, if someone wanted to write about things he saw, heard or thought, he would usually write a diary. Now he is more likely to get on the Internet and write in a blog(博客).
Differences between a blog and a diary
Usually, a person thinks of his diary as a book full of secrets. He does not want to share. But in the blog, anyone can read what he writes.
Problems with blogging
The biggest problem with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. It is easy to hurt others’ feelings in a blog. Because we do not always think about things carefully before we write about our days. So we have to be very careful about what we write.

Blogs are a very good way to write about daily life, if people are careful about what they write. However, I still prefer writing in my diary!

给句子的最佳答案。
Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).
Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.
Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.
But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.
People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.
If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.
Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.
1．What does the story tell us about sand
A．It can only be found on beaches. B．It is the most-used resource in the world.
C．It can never be used up. D．It can be used to build houses.
2．According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands
A．Singapore and Vietnam. B．Singapore and United Arab Emirates.
C．Britain and America. D．United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
3．Every year, we use about________tons of sand.
A．94 million B．20 billion C．20 million D．15 billion
4．We are running out of sand because________.
A．there is only a little sand in the world B．we are using sand too quickly
C．we cannot mine enough sand D．our environment is badly polluted
5．In places close to the sea, more floods will happen because of________.
A．overmining of sand B．climate change
C．the increasing size of certain islands D．the death of some plants

给句子的最佳答案。
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向…挑战)yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
1．Those who have big houses may often feel _________.
A．happy B．lonely C．free D．excited
2．When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will _________.
A．laugh at you B．play jokes on you
C．quarrel with you D．help you up
3．What will your friends say to you when you make great progress
A．Oh, so do I B．Congratulations
C．Good luck D．It’s just so-so
4．Which idea is NOT right according to the passage
A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money
D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you

阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所
给句子的最佳答案。
When was the last time you used a phone booth (电话亭) on the street With the rise of mobile phones, they have become something out of date. But Shanghai is trying to bring new life to the old phone booths by turning them into mini-libraries.
Shanghai plans to divide 263 phone booths in Xuhui district into six new kinds. One kind will each offer 60 books for people to read or borrow. A second kind will allow users to listen to audiobooks (有声读物) and even record their own voices. A third kind will become " Celebrity Exhibition Halls (名人亭) ", showing old photos and works of famous artists like Ba Jin and Zhang Leping.
Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. The British care about them-even more, because the red phone booths have long been a part of the country's identity (特征). The world's first phone booth was built in the 1880s in Germany. But in the 1930s the UK painted them red and made them a special attraction (吸引人的事物) in cities. People from other cities usually stopped to watch them.
In recent years the country has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens and free Wi-Fi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports. People are also allowed to rent (租用) some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than l, 500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini-cafes, art museums and even shower rooms. Maybe in the future phone booths will become city attractions once again, but in a more creative way.
