When I was seven years old，my family made me an ant farm．First，we put clean sand in a thin glass box．Then we waited for the ants to arrive．

After the arts were in the glass farm，they started to make tunnels(地道)．I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do．Each had its own job．

On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened．I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake，one by one they began to die．I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm． My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone．

Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.

Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together，the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves．I also learned Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life，and must be accepted．Unlike the ants，we build another． Giving up，I say．is not a good choice．

56．What did the writer's family do for him when he was seven? A．They built a farm of ants. B．They bought a few ants. C．They caught a lot of ants. D．They found an ant city.

57．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The writer broke the glass box because it made his face dirty. B．The ants died one because the tunnels were destroyed. C．Unlike people, teamwork is not so important for the ants. D．Giving up is a good way when we meet trouble. 58．Which is the correct order of the following?

a．All the tunnels fell down． b．The ants died one by one．

c．The ants got into the glass box． d．The ants began making tunnels． A．a—b—c—d B．a—c—d—b C．c—d—a—b D．c—a—d—b 59．What did the writer come to realize a few years later?

A．Working together is useless． B．Teamwork is important． C．He can’t accept adversity． D．Working alone is amazing． 60．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Ants Fear Adversity B．My Family and Ants

C．Giving Up in Adversity D．A Good Lesson from Ants

Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye，but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled． Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way，and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业)．

Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人) in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example，they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to heap organs(器官) that are not working properly．

When could all of these happen? Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner． 61．The two examples in Paragraph I are used to ________．

A．introduce the smallest television B．introduce a new kind of guitar C．introduce the topic of the passage D．show how small the world is 62．Nanotechnology ________________．

A．will cause an industrial revolution B．deals with things in old ways

C．has studied the whole world D．was developed many years ago 63．The underlined word“they”in the third paragraph refers to(指代)“________”． A．scientists B．human bodies C．specific tasks D．tiny machines ．The tiny machines ________________． A．are too small to be repaired

These days people talk a lot about the 2008 Olympic Games．Students in our class have different opinions about the ways to watch the games．

Most boys would like to watch games in Beijing. It is more exciting and amazing. What’s more, they can get more chances to be close to the sports stars and take photos with them.

However, most girls prefer to watch games on TV at home. They would like to stay in a quiet place and enjoy choosing programs freely. They think they also can save a lot of time and money.

I’d like to go to Beijing to watch game. It will be a wonderful experience for me!
