“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend.
Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two,” Jenna announced loudly.[来源:K]
The next year, in Grade Four, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, We had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy (专横的). I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me a terrible Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow,” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
“Okay…well… I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mom asked.
“It was Jenna, my classmate.” I said.
The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eighty-two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in the backyard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to make my friends feel sorry for me.

The United States is full of cars. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.
Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.
Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors' as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.
More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.
50. The United States is filled with cars, but .
A. not every family has a car B. few families have two cars or even more
C. every American has a car D. every family has a car
51. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Workers drive cars to offices and factories
B. Salesmen drive to carry their products.
C. Farmers drive into cities to get supplies.
D. Cars are widely used.
52. Which statement is true according to the third paragraph?
A. Small children are driven to school.
B. All children go to school by bus in some cities.
C. Mothers drive their children who can't walk to school.
D. School buses pick up all children.
53. The traffic in and around cities is a great problem because .
A. too many cars are being driven B. there are too many car pools
C. people put fewer cars on the road D. there is less gas
C
    When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing homework.
     I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
     Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
     Other parents dislike the recent trend (趋势) toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap (差距) between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
     So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
54. The author thought that her daughter’s homework ____.
     A. was too difficult B. was too much to finish
C. was done more carefully than her classmates’
     D. could be done as long as she studied harder
55. The author never complained to the teacher because ________.
A. she was too angry to talk with the teacher
B. she did not like complaining at all
C. she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacher
     D. her daughter would be annoyed if she complained
56. Some parents support the idea of giving more homework to children because _________.
A. they want to develop a good relationship with their children’s teachers
B. they think it a good way to keep their children from spending all their time on the Internet
C. they want to teach their children by themselves at home
D. they believe more homework will help children succeed in today’s society
57. People who are against more homework believe that ________.
A. it hurts the poor more than the rich
B. parents are too busy to help children with their studies
C. it increases the gap between parents and children
   D. too much homework is bad for children’s health
D    
    A boy who was nervous on his first day of school climbed onto a third-floor balcony (阳台) and put legs over the side. His mother and teachers tried their best to bring him down, but failed. However, a firefighter (消防员) who dressed as "Spiderman" succeeded in saving him.
     Firefighter David Smith was called in after the 6-year-old’s teachers and mother had failed to get him down from the balcony. "He was asking for his mother, "Smith said. "He was crying, and wouldn’t let any of us get near him." After hearing a conversation between the boy’s mother and his teachers about his love of superheroes (超级英雄), Smith hurried home to get his Spi
