They are wrinkled（多皱的） or hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “ Get away! I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud father or mother asks you, “ Well, what do you think. isn” t it beautiful?” What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth? Of course not! You look at that proud parent and say, “ Yes, it is! It” s really a beauty. It” s one in a million. It” s going to be a movie star! I can tell! It” s as beautiful as a picture.” In English, this a white lie. White lies don” t hurt people. They are not cruel（残忍的） or angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don” t want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don” t like at a friend” s house, they tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don” t want to hurt someone. It” s important to be honest, but many people feel that being kind is sometimes more important. 56. Parents are usually _ when their new babies are born. A. angry B. proud C. sad D. surprised 57. When a parent asks what you think of their new baby, they want you to _. A. tell the truth B. say what you like C. tell lies D. say good words 58. The word“ white” in this passage means“ _” in Chinese. A. 善意的 B. 恶意的 C. 白色的 D. 苍白的 59. From the passage we can know that _. A. a new-born baby hates everyone around it B. a new-born baby is the most beautiful one C. people who tell white lies are not kind D. people who tell white lies want to be kind 60. Which of the following is a white lie? A. You broke the window but you say you didn” t. B. You know Jack has stolen a watch but you say you don” t. C. You don” t think his first drawing is great but you say it is. D. You tell a parent that the new-born baby isn” t beautiful. B Many People keep small fish as pets. They keep them in a tank of water. The tank is made of clean glass. People can look through it. They can see inside the tank and watch the fish. The fish need room. They must not be crowded. Fish need oxygen（ O2）to breathe. Fish get it from water in the tank. There must be enough water for all fish. So the size of the tank is important. In the tank many people put small plants that are good for fish. They give oxygen to the water. Plants help in other ways, too. Fish can nibble（轻咬） on the plants. They hide among the plants and sleep, lay eggs there. The plants need light. Most fish need light, too. The tank may be put near a window. It will get light there. Another place might be better, though. A window may let cold air in. The water in the tank may get too cold. The fish may die because cold water can kill them. So can hot water. The temperature must be just right. The fish must be kept in water all the time. Some fish can jump high. They may jump out of the tank. The tank should be covered. This keeps the fish from jumping out. The fish need food and they should be fed every day. Giving them too much food is bad. The extra food will fall to the bottom and make the water dirty. However, the fish should get just enough food. They should finish the food in 10 minutes. Nothing should be left. When this happens, the amount of food is right. 61. A tank near the window may NOT be good for per fish because _. A. no air can get in through the window B. pet fish will jump out of the window C. plants in the tank will grow too big D. cold air may make the water too cold 62. _ is the least important to pet fish. A. Water temperature B. Sunlight C. The amount of food D. The size of the tank 63. Which of the following may cause pet fish to die? A. Too little room for fish. B. The plants in the tank. C. The light through the window. D. A lot of water in the tank. 64. The word“ this” in the last paragraph refers to（指的是） _. A. giving pet fish too much food B. giving pet fish too little food C. giving pet fish the right amount of food D. giving pet fish neither too cold nor too hot water 65. This passage mainly talks about _. A. why fish must be put in a glass tank B. how people should keep their pet fish C. what kind of plants is good for pet fish D. how much food should be given to pet fish C My son Joey was born with club feet（畸形脚） . The doctors told us that he would be able to walk, but would never run very well. By the time he was eight, you wouldn” t know he had a problem when you saw him walk. The children in our neighborhood ran around playing, and Joey would join them, run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn”t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn” t know. In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he worked harder and ran more than any of the others. Although the whole team runs, only the top seven runners score for the school. We didn”t tell him he probably would never be on the team, so he didn” t know. He went on running four or five miles a day, every day�；even the day he had a high fever. I was worried, so I went to see him after school. I found him running alone. I asked him how he felt.“ Okay,” he said. He had another two miles to go. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn” t run miles with a high fever. So he didn”t know. Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was Number Six on the list. Joey was on the team! He was in seventh grade�；the other six team members were in eight grade. We never told him he couldn”t do it. So he didn” t know. He just did it! 66. The doctor believed Joey would never run very well because _. A. Joey didn” t like running B.
