Four popular children’s books
Que Cosas Dice Mi Abuela
Spanish-speaking parents will love this fun book—which was translated into “The things my grandmother says” —in which a grandmother teaches manners (规矩) to her grandchildren and their friends using traditional Spanish-language sayings. Written in the voice of a little boy talking about his regular day, this book will draw the interest of both adults and kids.
I Like Myself!
Parents won’t mind reading the story over and over to their kids because as they pass along the message that their kids are perfect just the way they are—no matter their untidy hair, or whether they are fast or slow, their kids will learn about confidence.
Dragons Love Tacos(炸玉米饼)
While books with a deep message are great, sometimes you and your child just want to read something silly to get the laughs rolling. The New York Times bestseller, Dragons Love Tacos is a great read for kids and parents as it talks about how much dragons really love tacos, but when they eat something spicy (辛辣的) you had better watch out! The book has more words than some of the other picks on our list, so this might be fit for a preschoolers and up.
The Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes

1. Who will choose the first book

B
Kyle was a boy in my fifth grade class. When we sat across from each other, he would reach his legs and step on my foot, causing rapid pain. Eventually, my seat was moved. But Kyle’s abuse didn’t stop. His words were annoying to an eleven-year-old girl. Kyle also bullied my friend Megan. At one point she ran out of the classroom because he copied her nonstop. Despite meetings with teachers and parents, nothing changed.
Then one day, Kyle forced me into a wall and insulted (侮辱) my brother. With my teacher standing behind me, I told Kyle exactly how much he had hurt Megan and me physically and emotionally. I had tears streaming down my face, but I didn’t care. In the end, I cheered inside as Kyle quietly apologized.
Kyle’s teasing didn’t completely end, but it definitely subsided, and the final month of school went by fairly smoothly. Kyle was going to a private school the next year. I had only seen Kyle once, at a movie theater. We didn’t speak, and pretended we didn’t see each other.
Later one night as I thought about the marks he’d left on the tops of my feet, the words, and the pain, I felt no hate for him. Instead, I felt pity. This boy, who had ruined much of my fifth grade experience, had probably been going through his own issues then. He was obviously mad at the world and maybe he was simply taking that anger out on my friend and me. I felt that being angry with Kyle for what he had done was like drinking poison and expecting him to die. By holding my hate for Kyle inside, I was only hurting myself. That night, by letting go of that pain, I felt free. With forgiveness, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives.

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence. Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can find the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
In all areas of your life whether they are financial, physical, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.
8. Why are people with low self-confidence compared to leaves
A. Because they don’t have the power to face their lives.
B. Because they are ready to change their minds.
C. Because they can’t exercise control over themselves.
D. Because they are easily affected by windy weather.
9. What would losers think
A. They fail only because of bad luck. B. They don’t make efforts to succeed.
C. Success is the result of hard work. D. Working hard will lead to success.
10. What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph
A. What we believe in is the result of creative mind.
B. Whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes.
C. Setting our expectations is vital before taking action.
D. Knowing cause and effect is the key to future success.
11. What does the last paragraph serve as
A. An introduction to another topic. B. A comparison between two views.
C. The proof of the author’s points. D. The summary of the argument.
D
Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts(蝗虫) that are travelling across the continent eating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-FM, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected areas.
This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten(威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.
Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6, 000 hectares(公顷) per day with pesticide(杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20, 000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
“Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster,” the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations warned.
12. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author of the article __________.
A. showed the relationship between rain and the locusts
B. suggested the great damage locusts have caused in the world
C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
D. showed the large number of the locusts
13. What is the passage mainly about
A. Africans united effort in fighting a disaster.
B. The difficulty in controlling locusts.
C. How locusts caused great damage to West Africa.
D. A struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa.
14. The locust disaster _________.
A. would be even more serious in Asia
B. is out of control
C affected only the warning areas
D. cannot be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
15. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Sud-FM offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
B. Senegal is to the west of Sudan.
C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because they have no natural enemy in West Africa.
D. 12 countries affected by locusts have agreed on a plan.

When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something just before going off duty at 11 am. I put down the tray(托盘） on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming.
I realized that an earthquake was happening. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.
Afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy ,our ward sister(护士长），I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check no one was left behind in our ward(病房）.
Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other wards with him to help more people. So we went together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with rubble（碎石），luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock (余震）struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.

【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据I Like Myself!部分的“because as they pass along the message that their kids are perfect just the way they are—no matter their untidy hair, or whether they are fast or slow, their kids will learn about confidence.(因为当他们告诉他们的孩子，他们的孩子就是完美的，无论他们的头发凌乱，或他们是快还是慢，他们的孩子将学会自信。)”可知，父母会喜欢很多次地给孩子读I Like Myself!是因为它鼓励孩子们变得自信。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者读小学的时候被同学欺凌，作者勇敢地怒斥对方之后得到了他的道歉，后来作者回想起那位同学给她带来的不好的经历以及伤害时，她感悟到：我们应该学会宽恕，放下心中沉重的负担，继续自己的生活。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“Despite meetings with teachers and parents, nothing changed.(尽管与老师和家长会面，但一切都没有改变。)”可知，作者对她遇到的麻烦向老师求助，但是没什么改变。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In the end, I cheered inside as Kyle quietly apologized.(最后，当凯尔悄悄地道歉时，我在心里欢呼。)”可知，最后凯尔低声道歉了，作者内心在欢呼，由此推断作者此时感到快乐。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Kyle’s teasing didn’t completely end(凯尔的戏弄并没有完全结束)”可知，凯尔对作者的戏弄并没有完全停止，根据“but”以及语境的连贯判断，画线词的含义是“变少”符合语境。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“By holding my hate for Kyle inside, I was only hurting myself. That night, by letting go of that pain, I felt free. With forgiveness, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives.(把对凯尔的恨藏在心里，只会伤害我自己。那天晚上，通过放下痛苦，我感到了自由。有了宽恕，我们就能放下不必要的负担，真正拥有自己的生活。)”可知，作者认为，如果继续对他人心怀怨恨，只会伤害自己，学会宽恕，我们才能继续自己的生活。由此可推断，作者在自己的经历中感悟到的是：不要拿别人的错误惩罚自己。故选D项。

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence. Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can find the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
In all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.
8. Why are people with low self-confidence compared to leaves
A. Because they don’t have the power to face their lives.
B. Because they are ready to change their minds.
C. Because they can’t exercise control over themselves.
D. Because they are easily affected by windy weather.
9. What would losers think
A. They fail only because of bad luck. B. They don’t make efforts to succeed.
C. Success is the result of hard work. D. Working hard will lead to success.
10. What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph
A. What we believe in is the result of creative mind.
B. Whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes.
C. Setting our expectations is vital before taking action.
D. Knowing cause and effect is the key to future success.
11. What does the last paragraph serve as
A. An introduction to another topic. B. A comparison between two views.
C. The proof of the author’s points. D. The summary of the argument.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者认为成功是一种选择，而不是单纯靠机遇，我们要对自己思考后做出的选择负责，也要对自己生活的方方面面负责任。这样，我们才会离成功更进一步。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.(缺乏自信的人是那些不相信自己有任何权力或对自己的生活负责的人。他们总是受害者。它们是被偶然的风吹来吹去的树叶，因为天气的突然变化)”可推知，把缺乏自信的人比作树叶是因为他们不相信自己有能力和责任控制自己的人生，就像树叶一样随着机会的改变而随风摇摆。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.(失败者认为一切都是偶然发生的)”可知，失败者认为每件事的发生都是偶然和随机的，因此他们把失败归结于运气不好。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Everything happens as a result of something. If we can find the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.(每件事的发生都是某件事的结果。如果我们能找到原因，我们就能控制结果。我们要为我们选择思考和相信的东西负责。一个人通常会达到他所期望的水平。我们有责任设定我们的期望。我们的成功取决于我们的自信程度)”可知，任何事物的发生都有原因，我们要对自己思考做出的决定负责，我们的成功取决于我们的自信程度。由此推知，成功绝非偶然，而是取决于我们对待事物的态度。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success. (在你生活的各个方面，无论是经济上的、身体上的还是精神上的，你都是负责任的。一旦你认识到这一点，接受它，并坚定地相信它。你正在通往成功的道路上)”可推知，本段是作者对论点的总结，说明我们要取得成功，就要对生活的各个方面负责。故选D。
D
Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts(蝗虫) that are travelling across the continent eating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-FM, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected areas.
This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten(威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.
Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6, 000 hectares(公顷) per day with pesticide(杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20, 000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
“Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster,” the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations warned.
12. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author of the article __________.
A. showed the relationship between rain and the locusts
B. suggested the great damage locusts have caused in the world
C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
D. showed the large number of the locusts
13. What is the passage mainly about
A. Africans united effort in fighting a disaster.
B. The difficulty in controlling locusts.
C. How locusts caused great damage to West Africa.
D. A struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa.
14. The locust disaster _________.
A. would be even more serious in Asia
B. is out of control
C. affected only the warning areas
D. cannot be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
15. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Sud-FM offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
B. Senegal is to the west of Sudan.
C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because they have no natural enemy in West Africa.
D. 12 countries affected by locusts have agreed on a plan.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍非洲部分地区的蝗虫灾的情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts(蝗虫) that are travelling across the continent eating everything in their path. (非洲部分地区被乌云笼罩。但这不是雨云。这是一团由数十亿只蝗虫组成的活云，它们正在穿越大陆，吃掉沿途的一切)”推知，作者用乌云来描述蝗虫是指蝗虫数量太多。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. (现在，在阻止这场灾难的战斗中，西非塞内加尔的一家广播电台向听众提供了50公斤大米，如果他们能捕捉并杀死50公斤蝗虫的话)”，倒数第二段的“Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6, 000 hectares(公顷) per day with pesticide(杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20, 000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania. (尽管12个国家的领导人已经就一项计划达成一致，但预计这还不够。毛里塔尼亚蝗虫防治主任Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah说：“我们现在每天用杀虫剂处理6000公顷，但为了控制这场灾难，我们需要每天处理20000公顷。”)和最后一段““Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster,” the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations warned.( 联合国粮食及农业组织警告说：“正在请求国际援助，这是限制灾难的唯一途径。”)”可知，文章主要讲述人们和蝗虫的对抗。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6, 000 hectares(公顷) per day with pesticide(杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20, 000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-FM, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected areas. (现在，在阻止这场灾难的战斗中，西非塞内加尔的一家广播电台向听众提供了50公斤大米，如果他们能捕捉并杀死50公斤蝗虫的话。塞内加尔受灾最严重地区之一的Sud FM广播电台的Abdoulaye Ba说：“我们认为这一想法将让更多的人参加抗击蝗虫的战争。”)”可知，塞内加尔广播电台为抗击蝗虫提供奖励，以便更多的人加入这项工作。所以选项A是正确的；根据第二段“And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. (现在，在阻止这场灾难的战斗中，西非塞内加尔的一家广播电台向听众提供了50公斤大米，如果他们能捕捉并杀死50公斤蝗虫的话。)”和第三段“As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten(威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. (随着它们的迁移，它们产生了幼崽并增加了数量，很快就会威胁到非洲东北部的苏丹。)”可知，塞内加尔在苏丹的西边。所以选项B是正确的；根据第五段“Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. (尽管12个国家的领导人已经就一项计划达成一致，但预计这还不够。)”可知，12个国家的领导人已经就一项计划达成一致。所以选项D是正确的；文章中没有提到C选项的信息，需要C是错误的。故选C。

When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something just before going off duty at 11 am. I put down the tray(托盘） on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming.
I realized that an earthquake was happening. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.
Afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy ,our ward sister(护士长），I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check no one was left behind in our ward(病房）.
Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other wards with him to help more people. So we went together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with rubble（碎石），luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock (余震）struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.

The doctor put the nurse on his back and walked out of the building with the help of us. Finally, all, including patients, nurses and doctors, were in the safe place.
Later in the afternoon, I I had time to look around and saw the some destroyed buildings. My beautiful workplace lay beyond recognition, even some in ruins. At the sight of this, I felt a weight in my chest. Suddenly, the gentle wind danced around me, which made me thought of all the people surviving the earthquake with our help. It was our teamwork that made a difference. I held the firm belief that some day in the future my workplace would came back to life and took on a new look, where we would continue working together to save more patients.
