A Special Gift
When Tom was ten years old, his father gave him a small wooden box. “This box belonged to your great-grandfather,” his father said. “He made it himself during the war.

Tom felt disappointed. “It’s broken,” he said.
His father smiled. “Look closer,” he said. Tom turned the watch over. On the back, there were some words: “To my son, always follow your heart.” Tom suddenly understood. The watch was not valuable because it worked. It was valuable because of the love behind it.
Now Tom is twenty-five years old. He still keeps the watch in the wooden box. Whenever he feels lost or sad, he takes out the watch and reads the words. They give him strength. Last week, Tom gave the box to his younger sister. “This is our family treasure,” he told her. “Take good care of it.”

The Johnson family developed a high-tech chore system combining Unit 3’s “chores negotiation” with Unit 7’s geography knowledge. Their digital chore chart automatically assigns tasks based on weather data from Mount Everest monitoring stations.
When sensors detect rainfall in the Himalayas (where Qomolangma is located), 14-year-old Tom’s phone gets a notification: “Himalayan rain → possible local afternoon showers → water plants after lunch.” Meanwhile, his sister Lucy’s schedule adjusts when air pressure drops: “High mountain low pressure → indoor chores → vacuum living room.”
Father Mr. Johnson commented, “This teaches responsibility while connecting daily tasks to global environments.” The family’s efficiency improved by 60%, with chore completion rates reaching 95%.
23．What determines chore assignments
A．School timetable B．Weather patterns C．TV programs D．Meal times
24．What does Tom do when notified

A very long time ago, when the world was just created （创造）, the moon was not there and the sun shone all the time. So there was no idea of night and people kept working hard and didn’t know when to sleep. They went to bed only when they were too tired.
One day the Creator visited the men in the fields.
“When did you last water this field ” he asked one of them. “Today,” answered the man.
He saw a woman with a child. “When was this boy born ” “Today,” said the woman.
The Creator then got to know that without a division （分界） of time, people had no understanding of time. He decided to change it. He told the sun, “You must set in the evening and rise again in the morning. So people will know it’s time to sleep when it is dark.”
But there was a big problem. When the sun went down, everything became dark suddenly.
People were so frightened that they ran here and there. They fell down and broke things.
Then the Creator decided to give people something else with less light. So he created the moon. People were excited, because they could see at night and did not hurt themselves any more. They slept quietly in the light of the moon and got up the next day when the sun shone brightly.

White Fang was a wolf-dog, born in the wild cold North. His mother was half wolf, half dog, and his father was a full-blooded wolf. He grew up in the forest, learning to hunt, fight, and survive the cruel snow and ice. The world he knew was hard—only the strong lived, and the weak died. He learned to snarl and bite to protect himself, to run fast to catch food, and to hide from bigger, fiercer animals.
One day, White Fang met Gray Beaver, a Native American man. Gray Beaver caught him and took him to the human village. For the first time, White Fang lived with humans. He did not understand their ways, and he hated being tied up. The village dogs bullied him, and he had to fight them every day. He became a fierce fighter, winning every battle, and the dogs soon feared him. Gray Beaver was proud of his strength and kept him close.
White Fang learned to obey humans, but his heart was still wild. He loved the forest, the wind, and the freedom of running alone. Yet he also learned to trust Gray Beaver, who was kind to him sometimes, giving him food and a warm place to sleep. Life in the village was different from the wild—there was food every day, but no freedom. White Fang was caught between two worlds: the wild where he was born, and the human world that now held him.
As the months passed, White Fang grew bigger and stronger. His yellow eyes were sharp, and his teeth were like knives. All in the village knew him, and all feared him. But he was loyal to Gray Beaver, the first human who had ever shown him a little kindness. He would stand by Gray’s side, snarl at anyone who came near, and protect his master with his life.

A．He hated Gray Beaver but couldn’t escape.
B．He loved the wild but also trusted humans.
C．He won all fights but was still afraid of dogs.
D．He had food in the wild but freedom in the village.
34．What is the main idea of the passage
A．White Fang beat all village dogs.
B．White Fang’s hard life in the wild North.

提升篇：Level 3 拓展培优【5篇】
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions, written by Cao Xueqin. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. For the opera, opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbreaking tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign audiences understand the characters using costumes and stage settings. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.
The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where his parents were born.

（One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged (损坏). He was washed to the beach. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.）
The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers.
After about two hours, the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went too. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.
An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man.
The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.
The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.
At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.

56．根据上文“I put five of them in my pocket”可知，them指代前文提到的六个人中的五个，即“the five men”。下文“Then I pretended to eat the sixth man.”进一步说明这六个人的身份。因此them指代的是“the five men”。

60．由第三段“The managers also got upset... put their anger to the workers under them. The chain of this reaction kept going, and finally the anger reached to the office cleaner”可知，怒气不断向下传递到更低层级的员工。
61．由前文清洁工被上司无端指责后心情很差，回家后妻子问他“为什么这么晚回来”，清洁工大声说“我去工作，不是去踢足球”，因此“don‘t irritate me with your stupid questions”意为“别用你愚蠢的问题来激怒我”，所以“irritate”意为“激怒”。
62．故事通过怒气层层传递最终造成更多伤害，告诉我们不要随意对身边的人发泄怒气，否则会伤害他人。
