But a disaster can do strange things to people.At the time, I was bewildered and afraid, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me, a potential, which I didnt see. And they made me want to fight it out with2.The hardest3I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadnt been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker for the rest of my life. When I say believe in myself I am not talking about4the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is5of it, but I mean something bigger than that: a confidence that I am a real, 6person; that somewhere there is a special place7I can make myself fit. It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to8the most elementary things. I can still remember once, when a man gave me an indoor baseball.

We just want to do something to help them, said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags.

Services like hospitals and schools are usually not very nice there.But in the big cities like London, New York, Paris, people are moving out. They want to live a quiet life. They dont like the city because the city is noisy and dirty（臟的）. The traffic is heavy. Living in the cities costs too much. They want a house with a garden and clean air. So they move to the countryside with clean water and green trees. There, they begin new lives and try to make new friends.（1）判斷正誤。There is often much work to do in the countryside.（2）完成句子。(每空一詞)In China, many people are moving from the countryside to the cities _ _.（3）The cost of living in the cities is _.（4）翻譯畫線句子。（5）回答問題。Why are some people moving from the cities to the countryside?4. （8分）Social customs (習俗) and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt matter? What about table manners (行為)?The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness (準時) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest (客人) either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay (耽誤).The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served (服務), one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.（1）The underlined phrase “make a fool of himself” in the first paragraph means .A . make himself strongB . make himself richC . make himself comfortableD . make himself seemed like a fool（2）If a dinner invitation is for six oclock, the guest is supposed to arrive at six.A . nearly or a minute or two later thanB . a quarter pastC . a quarter toD . much later than（3）The last example in the passage shows .A . the correct way to use a knife at tableB . that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortableC . that social customs and ways of behaving change too fastD . that different counties have different customs（4）The best title of the passage is .A . Different CustomsBSocial CustomsB . Customs Are Changing FastC . Different CountriesD . Different Customs5. （8分） One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed.

Many organisms（有機體）in our world are neither. Some of them float through the air, and some lie hidden in the ground. They do not need sunlight to survive, and if the weather becomes too cold, they can become inactive until conditions improve.What are these? They are called fungi(菌類), and you see them almost every day. Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting, such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator. But other kinds are not so bad. For example, the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms (蘑菇) are both fungi.What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself. Fungi get around too, but they dont have feet, wings, or tails. They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them. Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（葉綠素）. It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight. Fungi do not have chlorophyll.Some fungi are bad, while others are not. Some fungi cause diseases, such as athletes foot, which makes feet uncomfortable. Other kinds of fungi can be used
