At least, it is so in most markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar(不熟悉) with it, wed like to offer you some advice. The tips(窍门) here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced.DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless its near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the sellers offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based(根据) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around.（ ）36. Who is this passage written for?A. Those who travel in Beijing.B. Businessmen in Beijing.C. Those who are good at bargaining.（ ）37. What is the topic the writer is mainly talking about in this passage? A. Bargaining tips.B. Beijing markets. C. Lowest price.（ ）38. What is the most important thing to do in bargaining with the seller? A. Keep smiling.B. Be patient. C. Dont get angry.（ ）39. What is NOT included in the tips often used to bargain in Beijing?A. Find out the true price and go to the markets with friends.B. Dont offer your price until the end of the bargaining with a smile.C.

Whenever you go shopping, take a price list with you. B. You can bargain for anything at the price of 10 RMB.C. The price range(范围) for you to bargain is usually between 40% and 500%. BHeight(高度) is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.But genes dont decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.No doubt(怀疑) youre wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. Theres no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height youre at now, how youve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.Dont be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later -between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.Youll usually begin to notice that youre growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. （ ）41. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _. A. 童年时期B.婴幼儿时期 C. 生长发育期（ ）42. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _. A. you should have enough exerciseB. you should save the environment. C. you can ask doctors for help.（ ）43. This passage is mainly about _. A. why you look like your parentsB. when is the time you grow fast C. how you grow to a certain height （ ）44. After reading this passage, we can explain _. A. how good it is to be a doctorB. how much sleep time we need C. why genes cant decide everything（ ）45. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are. B. Girls age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys. C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed. CWhen Kyle walked into Ernies Pet World, he looked very anxious. The shop owner, Ernie, jumped out of his seat to greet Kyle.

But fire can burn (燃烧) things, too. It can make trees, houses, animals and other things catch fire (起火). If some people cant run away from fire, it can kill them. This happens in every country every year. Sometimes big fire can burn forests. A month ago, a large forest fire broke out in Yunnan Province. It lasted nearly half a month. The forest in Heilongjiang Province and the grassland in Inner Mongolia caught fire in May, 2006. After more than ten days fight, over 30,000 people and soldiers put out (扑灭) the fire at last. Nobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, but there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man who went to the sun and brought fire down a long time ago. Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece of paper and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire, and destroy many things. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with fire.（ ）51. The main idea of the passage is that _.
