When shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well.To me, if it zips(拉上拉链 ), it fits. My mom,however, usually says I need a bigger size.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When Mom told me something didn't suit me, or that I needed a bigger size, all
I heard was that my body was wrong.
To avoid arguments( 争吵 ), we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged( 订婚) and I needed to find a wedding dress(婚纱 ).
I could have just bought it alone, of course,but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed as frightening as taking her with me.
And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom's eyes. “You look beautiful,” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.
This one didn't zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mom didn't say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked.At that moment, all those arguments we'd had while shopping in the past were laid to rest. We didn't buy a dress that day. We decided to see more, which I would never have predicted.
A few weeks and many shopping trips later, we found the perfect dress. And during those few weeks, Mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.

A. the writer's mom could always find perfect clothes for her
B. the writer and her mom often argued about the size of her clothes

D. the writer tried to lose weight when she was a teenager
2. Why did the writer go shopping with her mom to buy the wedding dress
A. Because she couldn't find any friends to go with her.
B. Because her mom was very experienced in choosing a wedding dress.
C. Because a wedding dress is special and she liked hanging out with her mom.
D. Because they always had a great shopping relationship.
3. What does the underlined word“predicted”in Paragraph 6 mean
A.想象 B.争辩

Yours,

Dear Alice,

Have you talked to your teacher You should try it. You can tell your teacher why you just want to spend time studying. If your teacher can't understand(理解) you well, you can even ask your parents for help. If your parents can't do that, you might just have to do what your teacher says and join the show. It might not be so bad.You' ll have time to get back to your study after the festival is over.

Ⅱ.阅读理解。
①“I always do my homework before playing computer games.”“Your dress looks so beautiful!.”“I didn't spend all the money on drinks.” All lies(谎言) !
②Most of us tell lies sometimes. However,a study found that telling lies can harm your brain( 大脑) . It can stop you from doing other important things.
③ When you tell the truth, your brain doesn't have to do any other work. But telling lies takes much more work.
④ Think about this. One day you are late
for class and you want to tell a lie to your teacher. So you say, “I picked up a book from the library.” Your teacher asks, “The book I talked about last time ”If you say yes, the teacher might ask to see it. If you say no, you will have to think of the name of another book. You can see it is too tiring for your brain.
⑤Using too much brainpower ( 脑力 )for lies will also make you have only a little for other important things.
⑥ In our brain, the prefrontal cortex ( 前额皮质) does the work for lies. It also works for remembering things and working out problems.
⑦Lies are especially difficult for young people because the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until age 25. So when the young are busy telling lies, they may not do other things well like eating a healthy meal. So next time think twice before you lie!
1. According to the study, telling lies our brain.
A. is good for B. is useful for
C. is bad for D. is important to
2. You can read the passage in .
A. a science newspaper
B. a history book
C. a health guidebook
D. a sports magazine
3. We can infer from the article that .
A. if you tell the truth, your brain will do much more work
B. the teacher keeps asking you because he/she knows you are telling lies
C. you can lie often if you exercise your brain often
D. children may not work out math problems well if they often lie
4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage

There's a Chinese word“chuiniu”. But why a cow(牛 ), not a dog or a panda There is a fun story behind it. In the old days, the Chinese used special(特别的 ) boats to cross the Yellow River. They used the skins(皮 ) of animals, like cows' skins to make the boats.
How can people make a cow-skin boat
First, people take the skin from a cow. They make it into a big bag. Then, they blow( 吹 )air into the bag. Finally, they put the bag on a wooden frame( 木框 ). In this way, people make cow-skin boats.
Blowing air into the cow-skin bag is hard.Only very strong people can do it. So when someone says, “I can blow up a cow-skin bag,”other people don't believe( 相信) him. They often say to him, “Ha! You' re bragging.”
There's another Chinese word“paimapi”.Why a horse, not a cow or a cat Here's the story. When two men with a horse met in the old days, one of them liked to tap( 拍 ) the ass of the horse and say, “Your horse is great.” This made the man with the horse happy. Later, even if the horse was bad, people still would say good words about it. Now if someone only says good words to make people with much power or money happy, we often say, “Look, that man is always flattering.”

The 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar year is an important day for the Chinese people. The day is called the Duanwu Festival or the Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated everywhere in China.This festival dates back to about 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin. The best-known story centers on a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. When he realized the decline of Chu State was beyond recovery, his remorse grew stronger and stronger, knowing he could no longer
save it. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he threw himself into the river and died for his beloved homeland.
In memory of him, every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the day he drowned himself,dragon boat races, which are said to represent the search for his body, are held, and the Chinese people eat zongzi,little packets of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, which were originally thrown into the river to prevent the fishes from eating the body of Qu Yuan.
