Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, youll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teachers face when you did a good job? One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why dont you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a food harvest. Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure cant be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant. Lets smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us. ( )54. People sometimes complain_.

A. must be confident in ourselvesB. shouldnt be afraid of it C. shouldnt give up hopeD. all of the above C Mr. Rhodes was the STOP-GO man who worked for Acacia Grove Council. He had a very important job. He was the person who controlled（指挥）the traffic when the road gang was doing important road repairs. He was the person who let the drivers know when to STOP and when to GO. To do this he had a long pole with a round sign on the top. The green side had GO written on it. The other side was red with the word STOP. Mr. Rhodes would stand in the middle of the road and turn the sign one way, then the other, to give the cars and trucks and buses turns when passing the road gang at work. Mr. Rhodes had to wear special clothes with bright orange markings. His sign looked like a big lollipop. Some people called Mr. Rhodes the Lollipop Man, but drivers knew what to do when they saw the signSTOP or GO. By obeying the sign the drivers knew they could pass safely. It was important that cars and trucks were not damaged. Sometimes the road gang filled filed pot holes, sometimes they picked up rubbish, sometimes they repainted road markings and sometimes they fixed signs. For really dangerous work the road gang used orange traffic cones to guide the traffic around the road works. If it was a really long section of road works Mr. Rhodes had someone to help him. Mr. Rhodes and his helper would stand at opposite ends of the road works. They had to make sure their signs gave the right instructions. If one sign said STOP the other sign would say GO. They didnt want any accident. ( )58. Which one of the following items was orange in colour? A. The stop sign.B. The road signs. C. The pole for the STOPGO sign.D. The markings on Mr. Rhodes clothes. ( )59. When doing his work Mr. Rhodes often stood _. A. in the middle of the roadB. near the edge of the road C. on the back of a truckD. well away from the workers ( )60. When Mr. Rhodes had a helper, it was important that their signs were _. A. held close together B. painted the same colour C. used to prevent accidentsD. the same ( )61. The road gang did NOT _. A. fix road signsB. pick up rubbishC. fill pot holesD. build bridges D Take any long piece of paper. Now glue (用胶水贴) the ends of the paper together. You have made a ring. Take a second long piece of paper. Twist the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Mobius band (带状物). For people who study maths, this band is unusual. This band was first made in the 1800s by a German man named August Mobius. Mr Mobius studied maths. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with maths. Believe it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself. If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on one side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces, but if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Mobius band must have only on surface. Its a kind of fun to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Mobius band in half one down the line you draw, you dont get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut the band again, you get two connect (相连的) Mobius bands. Try it! ( )62. What is a Mobius band? A. a maths problem.B. an interesting twisted ring. C. a long piece of paper.D. two connected rings. ( )63. Which is right about August Mobius? A. He studied maths.B. He was a German. C. He made the first Mobius band.D. All of the three. ( )64. How can you see that the Mobius band has only one side? A. Cut it.B. Draw a line on it.C. Clue it.D. Twist it. ( )65. What do you get if you cut the Mobius band in half twice? A. one large twisted ring.B. a long piece of paper. C. two Mobius bands. D. a short piece of paper.
