When they got there, they put up their tents(帐篷) and then rode their horses to the forest to see how the trees were growing. In the afternoon, when they were going back, it started to snow. Then minutes later, they couldnt find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp(营地), and the other went to his house. But all was white now. Everything was the same. How could he and his friends go back to the camp? Soon Bob had an idea. Maybe the horses could help them. They can let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That was going to be a long trip.It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Where were they? No one could tell. Bob looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents!41.

The story happened _.A. on a cold winter day B. on a dark rainy eveningC. at their school D. in summer ( B )Will it matter if you dont take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the US. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight(减轻体重).This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight (增加体重 )instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.45.

The word “reduce” in the last sentence means_A. 增加 B. 减少 C. 放弃 D. 享用 ( C )Many Chinese people like American country music(乡村音乐 ),such as（例如） the songs of John Denver. But still some people dont know when country music began.Country music is from the folk music （民间音乐）of the Appalachian Mountains in the east of America. There, people sang while playing the violin and guitar. They sang about everyday life, love and their problems. So the songs were sometimes a little sad.One of the most popular country music singers is John Denver, who is also quite famous to the Chinese. For Denver, music was a language that could bring the world together. He says music can bring people together. We will understand（理解） each other better through（通过） music. People are different in colour and they may speak different languages, but people are the same in mind and body（在心灵和精神方面）. All of them love music and can understand music.The world lost a great man when John Denver died in 1997. But his music and words will live on.49.
