Thoughts in the Silent Night
The moon light is shinning through the window.
And it makes me wonder if it is the frost on the ground， Looking up to see the moon，
Looking down I miss so much about my hometown.
Over a thousand years ago，Li Bai used his lines to show how he missed his family when he saw the beautiful moon.
Now，the moon is still in the sky，but when is the best time for us to enjoy the bright moon？Of course，it is the
Mid﹣Autumn Festival，one of the most important festival s in China.This year，the festival is on September 29th. ▲
This tradition is thousands of years old.
In some places in China，people celebrate the festival in different ways.In Chaozhou，Guangdong Province， people eat taro（芋头） to celebrate the festival，because the taro harvest （丰收） happens at the same time as the festival.They eat taro and hope the harvest is good in the next year.In Nanjing，people cook duck with sweet﹣scented osmanthus（桂花） ，because Nanjing people think sweet﹣scented osmanthus is a symbol of peace.In some places people make fire s inside towers to celebrate the festival，because they think the fire is a symbol of good business.
Nowadays，some traditions are not popular anymore.The younger people have their own ways to spend the Mid
﹣Autumn Festival，such as shopping，going to a party，or traveling.It seems that they are forgetting the traditions of the festival.This is because many young people have a lot of stress in study，work or life.However，if they have a chance，they will come back home to have a big dinner with their family.
The writer starts the passage with .
A.a question B.a story C.a poem D.a letter
Which of the following can be put in the ▲？
One of the most famous stories is Chang's flying to the moon.
Last year，the Mid﹣Autumn Festival was on September 10th.
We look at the moon，eat moon cakes，and stay with our family.
The moon has special meaning to all of the Chinese people.
In some places people make fires inside towers at the festival because . A.they think the fire is a symbol of peace
they hope the harvest is good in the next year
they hope they will be healthier in the next year
they think the fire is a symbol of good business
The passage is mainly about .
A.different ways of celebrating the Mid﹣Autumn Festival B.how people in the past celebrated the Mid﹣Autumn Festival
why young people forget the traditions of the Mid﹣Autumn Festival
the most popular way of celebrating the Mid﹣Autumn Festival

①When the earth warms a little or a lot，farmers must start to work.For them，education（教育）can be really useful and helpful.
②In northern Kenya，the weather was very hot.Mr.Smith went to school when he was young.He now works as
an accountan（t 会计） in the town.His elder brother Scott never went to school.And he was a farmer all the time.Smith
sometimes helped Scott keep cows.
③Smith knew about the bad weather.So he told Scott to sell half of his cows.That way，Scott could keep the other cows healthy with the little water he had.However，Scott wanted to keep all the cows for another year with the next rain.Then he could sell all the cows to make much money.In the end，there wasn't any rain for half a year and half of the cows died.
④In eastern Kenya，the weather was also hot.Isaiah and his son Philip both grew corn（玉米）.Isaiah's corn was only 1 meter high but Philip's was 2.5 meters high.
⑤Isaiah never went to school. "There is nothing we can do，" he says， "we just wish the God can give us a lucky rain."
⑥Philip was a good student before.He bought new drought﹣resistant seeds（抗旱种子）.He planted his seeds early before the first rain.Philip told his ways of farming to his father and the other villagers，but Isaiah and the others weren't interested at all.Few of the villagers knew what was happening（发生） to the weather.They were just making a wish like Isaiah.

In this passage，who got education in Kenya before？

任务型阅读。（65-67 小题, 每小题 2 分, 68 小题 3 分, 共 9 分）
阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容, 完成下列各题。
Everybody is afraid of something.But not everyone is afraid of the same things.What's the worst thing about feeling afraid sometimes It's that you don't know what to do!We asked 1,700 kids about what they were afraid of and
what they did to help themselves feel better.Here are the top 3 ways.
★Do something，like playing outside，listening to music，or watching TV.
★Talk to a parent.
★Talk to a friend.
Talking to a friend can help，if that person is supportive（支持的）.About half the kids said their friends made fun of（取笑） them for being afraid.And even more 75% said they，sometimes said they weren't afraid，but in fact，they were.So never make fun of others when they are afraid.Help your friend today and maybe he or she will help you tomorrow!
Here's some advice kids who answered our survey had for other kids：If you get scared at night，Monique，12， says listening to the radio can help.And Mike，also 12，suggests（建议） writing or drawing what you're afraid of and then ripping（撕） it into pieces. Amanda，11，thinks kids should talk with a parent."They will find a way to help you feel better，"she says.

Thoughts in the Silent Night
The moon light is shinning through the window.
And it makes me wonder if it is the frost on the ground，
Looking up to see the moon，
Looking down I miss so much about my hometown.
Over a thousand years ago，Li Bai used his lines to show how he missed his family when he saw the beautiful moon.
Now，the moon is still in the sky，but when is the best time for us to enjoy the bright moon？Of course，it is the Mid﹣Autumn Festival，one of the most important festival s in China.This year，the festival is on September 29th. ▲ This tradition is thousands of years old.
In some places in China，people celebrate the festival in different ways.In Chaozhou，Guangdong Province，people eat taro（芋头） to celebrate the festival，because the taro harvest （丰收） happens at the same time as the festival.They eat taro and hope the harvest is good in the next year.In Nanjing，people cook duck with sweet﹣scented osmanthus（桂花） ，because Nanjing people think sweet﹣scented osmanthus is a symbol of peace.In some places people make fire s inside towers to celebrate the festival，because they think the fire is a symbol of good business.
Nowadays，some traditions are not popular anymore.The younger people have their own ways to spend the Mid﹣Autumn Festival，such as shopping，going to a party，or traveling.It seems that they are forgetting the traditions of the festival.This is because many young people have a lot of stress in study，work or life.However，if they have a chance，they will come back home to have a big dinner with their family.

阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容, 完成下列各题。
Everybody is afraid of something.But not everyone is afraid of the same things.What's the worst thing about feeling afraid sometimes It's that you don't know what to do!We asked 1,700 kids about what they were afraid of and what they did to help themselves feel better.Here are the top 3 ways.
★Do something，like playing outside，listening to music，or watching TV.

Talking to a friend can help，if that person is supportive（支持的）.About half the kids said their friends made fun of（取笑） them for being afraid.And even more 75% said they，sometimes said they weren't afraid，but in fact，they were.So never make fun of others when they are afraid.Help your friend today and maybe he or she will help you tomorrow!
Here's some advice kids who answered our survey had for other kids：If you get scared at night，Monique，12，says listening to the radio can help.And Mike，also 12，suggests（建议） writing or drawing what you're afraid of and then ripping（撕） it into pieces. Amanda，11，thinks kids should talk with a parent."They will find a way to help you feel better，"she says.
