I usually took a bus to school. I found that people on the bus were 31 and never had a talk with anyone else.
About one year ago, an old man 32 the bus and said loudly to the driver, “Good morning!” Most people looked up, wondering (想知道) why, and the bus driver didn’t take it seriously (认真地) and just answered in a 33 voice, “Mm-hmm.” The next day the man got on and again he said in a loud voice “Good morning” to the driver. Another “Mm-hmm”. By the fifth day, the driver finally answered him 34 a little happy “Good morning”. Then the man said, “My name is Benny.” The driver told the man that he was Sam.
That was the 35 time any of us heard the driver’s name and soon people began to talk with each other and say hello to Sam and Benny. Soon Benny 36 his happy “Good morning” to the whole bus. Within a few days, his “Good morning” got a lot of “Good mornings” and the whole bus seemed to be 37 .
“Benny truly showed friendship among us with a just’ Good morning’,” I thought.
Then suddenly, Benny stopped showing up. Everyone began to ask about Benny. No one knew what to do and 38 got quiet again. So, last week, I started to act like Benny and say “Good morning” to everyone and the whole bus was full of 39 again. Hopefully, Benny could come back to see his “Good morning” mattered (重要) a lot.
Sometimes we see some strangers so many times that we know their faces well, but we never even say 40 to them. By saying hello, friendship starts to grow and sunshine comes to the world around us.

A
Hi, I’m David House, a Teens writer from the UK. Here, I help solve Teens readers’ problems. I hope I can help with yours.
Hi David,
I love eating so much that I enjoy all kinds of food. So I have a nickname called “Big Eater”. Every time I have a meal in the school dining hall, I end up eating several times more than others. The boys always laugh at me for being a “foodie (吃货).” This makes me feel embarrassed (尴尬的). What should I do
Andrew
Dear Andrew,
As a food lover, I can understand. You’re still growing and have long days at school. It’s good to eat a full meal for energy and to make sure you’re getting everything your body needs.
But, if you eat too much, you can be overweight and that’s not good. Make sure you are eating what’s right for you. Do you know it takes at least 20 minutes to start digesting (消化) food. But we are all different. Some people really need more food than others.
So, do what’s right for you, for your health and energy. As for the other boys and the nicknames, take it as a bit of fun. Boys always give each other nicknames. Laugh about it and find the fun in it.
David

To their bad luck, there was no rain that year. The lake became dry. So they had to leave the lake in search of another one to live.
The two swans could fly easily, but for the tortoise it was difficult. The three of them were worried, unsure of what to do next.
At last, the two swans had an idea. They said to the tortoise, “We will place a stick (棍子) in your mouth. We will carry the stick in our mouths on either side. This will make us fly together. But remember, you must not open your mouth. If you do, you know what will happen to you.”
The tortoise was sad to leave the lake, but it agreed to the idea happily.
One fine morning, they were flying over a large town. The people of the town were surprised at what they saw in the sky. They were very curious about it and started shouting excitedly.
The tortoise heard the noise and wondered what it was about. It forgot its promise and opened its mouth to ask curiously, “Why is there… Ah…!”

B）阅读短文，从短文后所给的A～F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。
A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is pleased with a grade on a test. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show that they are happy. 51
First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. On the one hand, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. 52 So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!
Second, smiles are nice. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, there is a famous saying: a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. 53
Third, smiles have power. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend to laugh with them. 54 It is the easiest (and cheapest) way to cheer someone up.
55 Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long!
A．If a person is sad, it’s better to share a smile or laugh.
B．On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness.
C．There are other good reasons to smile often.
D．Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body.
E．However, we should smile as often as possible.
F．Almost no one wants to be around someone who is unhappy all the time.
五、词语运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

57．Sally seems ______ with everything. Let’s go and cheer her up.
58．It’s cold. Peter, please ______ the wood into small pieces to make a fire.
59．Do you know exactly his ______ He looks much taller than me.
60．The light doesn’t work. I think we should ______ a new one as quickly as we can.
B）阅读短文，在文中空白处填入1个适当的单词，或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。
It was nearly dark outside, little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
“What’s 61 matter, dear How’s your trip ” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full 62 big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was 63 (tire) and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter. You will have another chance,” his mother said. “But, 64 (stand) at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you hear the birds 65 (sing) at that time ” “Sure, there were many 66 (kind) of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was sweet.” Tom answered. “Did you feel the beauty of nature ” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the 67 (colour) flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please 68 (not forget), son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the 69 (important) thing of all. You didn’t reach the top of the mountain, 70 you got a lot on the way.”
Not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.

听第二篇短文, 回答第16～20题。
Hello, everyone! Today I will share a story with you. One winter afternoon, a little mouse went out for a walk. At first he wanted to find some friends to play with him, but when he got to their homes, he could not find anyone. He felt very sad. On his way home, he suddenly saw a hole. He thought it must be his friend’s house, so he quickly went into it.
To his surprise, it was a snake’s house. Some snakes were sleeping there. When they saw the little mouse, they didn’t move or try to catch him. They just went on sleeping. The little mouse was afraid and ran away.
After he got home, he told his mother what he had seen. His mother said, “Don’t be afraid. Snakes are not our friends, but they can’t catch you now. It’s time for their winter sleep. During their winter sleep, snakes never eat anything. So you could come back safely, my son.”
