We’ve talked about snails and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells —sleeping.
　　Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
　　In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers, are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
　　A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin. Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

A. to make with a pencil B. to push

Parents are a child’s first teachers. But some parents never learned from good examples. In New York City, Covenant House tries to help homeless young mothers become good parents.
The twelve or so teenagers who live at the shelter attend parenting classes four days a week. The class is called Mommy and Me.
Teacher Delores Clemens is a mother of five and a grandmother. She teaches basic skills, like how to give a baby a bath and how to dress a baby in different seasons.
She remembers one student who learned from her mother not to pick up a crying baby. The mother said that would only make the child needy.
“I said ‘That’s not true. You have to hold your baby! He is crying for a reason. If you never pick him up, he’s going to keep crying. Pick your baby up. Hug(拥抱)him! And she started to do that. They just want a little hugging and a little love. And it works!” Delores Clemens said.
Delores Clemens says her students also learn how to be good mothers by letting themselves be mothered. “I’m doing something for them that never has been done for them before.”
In class, with her baby son, is Natasha. She lived on the streets. She is glad not only for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House. As she told reporter Adam Phillips, she is also glad for the help they offer in looking for a safer life.
“Did you go to high school?”“Yes.”“Did you graduate?”
“No, I didn’t. I was in my last year and then, I got pregnant(怀孕)and I got lazy.”
“You look like you are willing to accept responsibility(责任)for that.”
“Yes, I am, and I would like to finish.”
Some teenage mothers wish they themselves could be children again. 18-year-old Placida knows that feeling. “Because you have to get up every two hours in the middle of the night, and you can’t go out and say ‘I am going to buy this for myself.’ No. I have to buy pampers, clothes and food. So now it’s two. So it’s very hard.” Placida said.
( )8. What did Natasha want to finish high school for?
A. To bring her education to an end.
B. To accept the responsibility to be a mother.
C. To stop the chatting with Adam.
D. To end the relationship with her boyfriend.
( )9. From what Placida said, we know that she thinks _______.
A. looking after a baby needs love 
B. having a baby costs more
C. being a mom is hard
D. loving comes from responsibility
( )10. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. a class where teen parents are looked after
B. a class where parents are teaching their children
C. a class where homeless mothers learn to find a job
D. a class where teens learn mothering and are mothered
四、任务型阅读（本大题5分，每小题0.5分）
A report in China Education Daily says that school accidents kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. The worst accidents come from food poisoning (中毒), fires, electricity and traffic. So as students we must learn more knowledge about safety so that we can protect ourselves better.
Here are some tips. Follow them and keep safety in mind every day.
On your way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right for cars before you go across the road. You’d better wear clothes with bright colors, so the drivers can see you easily. Don’t believe strangers in the street.
At school: When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, use both hands to cover your head. Lean to one side, curl up (卷起) your body and bend(使弯曲) your legs.
When there’s a fire: Stay calm, leave the classroom quickly under the directions of your teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose. What will you do if your clothes starts burning? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the ground. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out.
For eating: Wash fruits carefully before you eat them. Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the packages of your snacks, and if your food looks or smells bad, don’t eat it.
