Then came a voice he knew:
Did you think I would leave you dying
When there’s room on my horse for two?
Climb up here, Joe, we’ll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two.
Now we are both real soldiers
And our horses are not toys
And I remember
When we were two little boys.

Hundreds of years ago, no dandelions (蒲公英) grew in North America. Then people
came from Europe.They had dandelion seeds on their clothes. The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then, dandelions have spread all over.
Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers are pretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.
Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold, their leaves may stay green.
When the spring arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close
up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen (花粉) from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal (花瓣). When the wind blows, the petals float away.
Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over.
New dandelions grow where the seeds land.
31. The underlined word “weeds” means .
A. pretty flowers B. fresh vegetables C. wild plants D. green trees
32. When is the best time to pick dandelion leaves to eat?
A. After their flowers come out. B. After their flowers turn white.
C. Before their flowers come out. D. Before their flowers close up.
33. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Dandelions B. Dandelions: Flowers or Food
C. The Use of Dandelions D. How to Grow Dandelions
D
Do you know what you’d like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find this out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alcxandra was seven ycars old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an
important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of
painting was all her own.
Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was
only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
34. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?
A. At the age of eight. B. At the age of seven.
C. At the age of two. D. In the year of 1985.
35. Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because .
A. shc learned to paint from Picasso B. her style of painting was like Picasso’s
C. she was one of Picasso’s big fans D. her style of painting was unusual
36. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.
B. Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.
C. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.
D. Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.
37. According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra?
A. Polite. B. Generous. C. Patient. D. Creative.

Life offers so many lessons, both practical and personal, that you’re never too young to begin learning them. Here are somc skills to learn as soon as possible.
Money Management
When you start receiving money of your own. It’s time to start understanding your relationship with money. In a world where you can buy any and every object, the key is to save money by buying only essentials (必需品) and a treat sometimes.
Cooking
One great way to save money is to learn to cook for yourself. Beyond that, cooking at home also helps you control your diet for better health. If you start doing this at an early age, you will not have to depend on your parents too much.
Keeping Promises:
Promises are a matter of honesty and should be made with care. We must learn from an early age that our word must be followed up by action. When it isn’t, others will quickly lose trust in us and not respect us.
Accepting Rejection (拒绝)
Though you must. be careful not to break your word, others’ promises aren’t always kept. Learn about it early, and you won’t be hurt easily. Also, not every job application or desired (渴望的) friendship will work out, so remember that there are more fish in the sea.
LifelongLearning
No matter how old you get, there will always be things beyond your understanding. It’s better to learn to be modest now rather than take a proud fall later in life. Be open to new experiences and keep learning. And it’
