A

People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.

For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”

Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret (后悔）because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel “down in the mouth.” In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

Another situation（情况）is when someone falsely claims （宣布）another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”

Information is often spread through “word of mouth.” This is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other. “How did you hear about that new movie?” someone might ask. “Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece（发言人）. This is an official spokesperson. Government-run media could also be called a mouthpiece.

56. In the English language, there are many __________using the word “mouth”.

A. words B. expressions C. pictures D. ideas 57. What is the meaning of the underlined word “protest” in Chinese?

A. . B. 咒骂. C. 同意. D. 辩驳

58. If someone tells the person something that he/she was not supposed to tell, the speaker might say: “___________________”

A. Do not bad mouth me. B. I did not say that. C. I really put my foot in my mouth this time. D. Oh, by word of mouth. 59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. All expressions using the word mouth are nice. B. People don’t use mouth to smile. C. People might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

D. Getting information through a company mouthpiece is not an official way. 60. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The use of mouth. B. Some expressions about mouth. C. The word “mouth”. D. All expressions about mouth.

We went into a secondhand shop to get out of the rain.

I took my 6-year-old daughter’s hand and we started to walk around. Suddenly she reached out her hand to touch a pair of shiny black shoes. “Buy for me?” she asked.“Oh, Sweetie, they are tap dancing (踢踏舞) shoes. You aren’t taking tap dance.”“Buy for me?” she repeated. “Well, let’s try them on.”

She sat on the floor and took off her bright pink rain boots . When she stood up we heard “click”. She took a step, “click, click, click.”

The sun came out and we went on our way. Our next stop was the grocery store(杂货店). “Click, click, click…” people turned to look as we entered the store. People would never allow their daughter to wear tap dancing shoes to the grocery store .

“Excuse me, dear. Why would you allow your daughter to wear tap dancing shoes here? They make such a noise.”“Isn’t it wonderful?”“Wonderful? My dear, this is not the place to wear those shoes.”

“You don’t understand. When she was a baby, doctors told us that she would never walk or talk. It has taken a lot of hard work and patience, but she asked for the shoes and the ‘click, click, click’ says that she can walk,” I said.

My daughter is 18 now and will graduate from grade 12 in June. It has not always been easy, but it has all been worthwhile (值得做的). She has taught me that it doesn’t matter what others think. They don’t walk in your shoes.

Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus（腐殖质）, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.

66. You can most probably read the passage in ________.

A. a history book B. a TV guide C. a science book D. a telephone book 67. The main idea of the passage is_________.

A. to let us know taking away rubbish is a big job B. to explain the need for rubbish collection C. to introduce different ways to treat rubbish

D. to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish

68. The underlined word “sewage”in the passage means_________. A. 排污 B. 染色 C. 洗涤 D. 吸尘

69. According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_________.

A. to feed animals B. to feed plants C. to build a house D. to make machines 70. How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage? A. By burning it off. B. By putting it in water.

C. By throwing it away. D. By reusing and recycling it.

Courage(勇气) is the ability to be brave in different kinds of situations in our life. Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well. Courage may make you confident of your success. If you have courage, you will not show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous. With courage, you may still smile even if you are seriously ill and know you are at the end of your life.

How can we build up our courage?

Believe that you will be successful. Take chances and know that you have your own talents. Besides, your family and friends are always there for you.

Exercise your courage. It is like a muscle(肌肉). The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be.

Know that giving up is not a choice. It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong.

Fight to control(控制）your fear. Courageous people may still be afraid at times, but the difference is that they can control their fear. They don’t let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on.

Get courage by reading inspiring( 令人鼓舞的) stories of brave people. Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of.
