I'm crazy about chocolate, so it's no surprise that my favourite book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by the wonderful Roald Dahl. Forget Charlie Bucket, the real hero is Willy Wonka, inventor of the most amazing sweets in the world..
Here are just a few of his delicious creations:
Hot ice cream for a cold day! What a great idea. Now I can eat ice cream every day! He also invented an ice cream that never melts（融化）-very useful.
Wallpaper that you can lick. This wallpaper comes in orange, grape, apple and banana flavours. When you lick the pictures, you taste the fruit. Brilliant!
Grass made of sugar is called Swudge. It grows by the chocolate river and the chocolate waterfall in Willy Wonka's factory.
Mr Wonka also invented some special sweets for schoolchildren, such as a kind of chocolate others cannot see when you are eating it. There are also sugar-coated pencils and magic hand-fudge（软糖）-you hold the fudge in your hand and you taste it in your mouth. Finally, there are Wonka's exploding sweets-a great way of scaring the school bully（恶霸）!
Anyway, these are just a few of his inventions. Read the book if you want to know more.

A. Willy Wonka. B. Roald Dahl. C. Charlie Bucket. D. The writer.

Here is a real-life story of The Tortoise and the Hare《龟兔赛跑》.
Every year in Australia, the strongest long-distance runners race more than 500 miles from Sydney to Melbourne. The race takes more than five days to complete. It attracts world-class athletes-the kind who become spokespeople for sneakers and sports drinks.
In 1983, however, as the competitors lined up to race, they were joined by a 61-year-old farmer wearing overalls and work boots. His name was Cliff Young. The other runners mistook him for a spectator（观众）. He explained that on his family's sheep farm, he often had to round up 2,000 or so animals by himself. "Sometimes I had to run after those sheep for two or three days. I believe I can run this race." he said.
When the race began, the younger runners flew past Cliff. Instead of running after them, Cliff shuffled (拖着脚走）along in an unusual way. The other runners and the spectators thought he would never finish the race. But something happened. When all the other runners took a break to sleep, Cliff kept running. The other runners caught up to him each morning, but finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed. On the fifth day, he left all of the young, world-class athletes behind. He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record.
Cliff received＄10, 000 for winning the race. He said he did not realize there would be prize money, and he gave the funds to his fellow runners. Doing this made him a hero in Australia. Since then, many runners have used his shuffling stride. No one sleeps during the race anymore, either. The farmer changed long-distance racing and proved that age and style aren't everything.
( ) 34. What helped Cliff Young win the race?
A. Staying awake for five days. B. Running faster than the others.
C. Studying new ways of running. D. Wearing unusual running clothes.
( ) 35. Why did the other runners think that Young was a spectator?
A. They saw him on the sidelines. B. He was not a spokesperson for sneakers.
C. They knew he was a farmer. D. He was not dressed like a runner.
( ) 36. According to the passage, what made Young a hero in Australia?
A. He managed to set a world record.
B. He proved that dressing doesn't matter.
C. He gave his prize money to other runners.
D. He received an award of＄10,000.
( ) 37. How did Young change long-distance running?
A. He raised the age limit for runners. B. He introduced a new way of running.
C. He raise the award for the race. D. He encouraged other farmers to enter.

A material is what something is made of. There are 5 basic materials. Most things are made with these materials. Some things are made of metal. Some things are made of glass. Some things are made of wood. Some things are made of cloth. And some things are made of plastic. There are some other materials. But they are not used as much as these 5 materials.
Let's talk about metal first. Metal is very heavy. And it is very hard and strong. It usually feels cool if you touch it. We use metal to make lots of things. We use it for forks and knives. We use it for keys. We use it for cars. We use it for these things because it is very strong.
Next, let's talk about glass. Glass is very smooth. It feels cool to touch. It is not as heavy as metal. It is hard. But it is not strong. It breaks very easily! Then why do we use it? We use it because it is clear! You can see through glass! That's why we use it for windows. That's also why we use it for glasses.
Now, let's talk about wood. Wood is lighter than metal and glass. It is not as strong as metal. But it is much stronger than glass. We use wood to make lots of things. Things made of wood are usually light and hard and strong. Chairs and tables are made of wood. Pencils are made of wood.
Now let's talk about cloth. Cloth is very light. It is much lighter than wood. And it is very soft. We use cloth to make lots of things. For example, it is used to make clothing. And it is used to make blankets.
Last, let's talk about plastic. Plastic is also very light. But it is different from cloth. Sometimes it is soft. And sometimes it is hard. Plastic can be used to make thin plastic bags. These are light, soft, and strong. But plastic can also be used to make bicycle helmets. These are light, hard, and strong. A helmet and a bag seem different. But they are both made from plastic.
( ) 38. Which sentence from the passage best describes the main idea?
A. "We use cloth to make lots of things.”
B. "Metal is very heavy."
C. "There are 5 basic materials."
D. "A helmet and a bag seem different."
( ) 39. In Paragraph 4, the passage says, "Wood is lighter than metal and glass." What is the
main purpose of this sentence?
A. To explain something. B. To recommend something.
C. To compare something. D. To demonstrate something.
( ) 40. Which material would you use if you wanted to make something that was strong and
very light?
A. Plastic. B. Wood. C. Metal. D. Glass.
( ) 41. In this passage, the author talks about ______________.
A. hard things first, then soft things B. heavy things first, then light things
C. strong things first, then weak things D. cool things first, then warm things
D
Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we improve our memory?
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory（remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists（心理学家）doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers（祈祷文）that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.
According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.
Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!
However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: "Do people get it from water?", "What parts of the body does it influence?" and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent "passively" reading and re-reading notes.
