he was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap! running to the farmyard, the mouse shouted, warning everyone, “there is a mouse trap in the house; there is a mouse trap in the house.” the chicken, with her head high, glared at the mouse and said, “shut up. little ugly. this is a great concern to you, but it has nothing to do with me; i cant be troubled by it.” the mouse turned to the pig and told him, “there is a mouse trap in the house.” “ im sorry, mr. mouse.” said the pig, “but there is nothing i can do about it but pray; you are always in my prayers.” the mouse turned to the cow, who replied,“ a mouse trap, am i in great danger, huh?” now the mouse had to face the farmers mouse trap alone. the very night a sound was heard through the house, like that of a mouse trap catching its prey. the farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. in the darkness, she did not see it was a big poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. the snake bit the farmers wife. the farmer rushed her to the hospital. she retuned home with a fever. it is said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever, so the farmer took his knife to the farmyard for the soups main ingredient(原料). his wifes sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. to feed them, the farmer killed the pig. the farmers wife did not get well; in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. the farmer had the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat. so next time when someone is facing a problem, dont say that it has nothing to do with you.56. we could see from the passage that the mouse was_. a. good at cheating othersb. dishonest c. kind and warm-heartedd. foolish57. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. the others help the farmer kill the cow. b. the mouse trap was very practical. c. the pig is more friendly than the other animals. d. the farmers family was very poor and they had no friends.58. the passage is most probably a _ a. fableb. science fictionc. news reportd. humorous story59. what can we learn from the story? a. traps can always cause chain reactions. b. better safe than sorry. c. sometimes when the least of us is threatened, we all might be at risk. d. to keep the balance of nature is the duty of us allbsure, its good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.and yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to understand the different types of people youll meet throughout your life.“but really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. when you do, learning bursts right open,” says evelyn vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “teacher says” for the washington post newspaper.in fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. this makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. when you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.as a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. youre like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. on top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you make it. remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first placeto teach!some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. but most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class.60in the passage, the author mainly talks about _.a. how to get along well with othersb. the importance of a good relation with teachersc. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersd. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant61“learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _.a. learning becomes easier for you at once b. you find an opening to learningc. therell be more problems with learning d. therell be no problems at all with learning62according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?a. if you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.b. the more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.c. if you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.d. many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.cthe american local food movement has been all about buying seasonal food from nearby farmers. now, thanks to the web, it is expanding to include far-away farmers too. a new start-up, foodzie, is an online farmers market where small food producers and growers can sell their products. foodzie was started by mr lafave and two of his friends, who met during college at virginia tech, where they would pay frequent visits to farmers markets. last year, while living in north carolina, one of them, emily olson, now 24, came up with one idea. she was working as a brand manager for a gourmet grocery chain and realized that people who enjoyed fine food but didnt work in the business had no way to discover handmade foods outside their local farmers markets. small farmers had no way of finding or selling to faraway customers, either. mr lafave and the third co-founder, nik bauman, both 25, worked in corporate sales and software development. “with business, food and computer science backgrounds, we figured we had everything we needed.” mr lafave said. the three quit their jobs, and opened this site to the public in december and the site has had 43,000 visitors in the past month. so far, 29 sellers have opened shops and 41 are in the process of opening them. the founders recently hired a fourth employee to help ms olson recruit(吸收) new food producers at farmers markets and food shows. mr lafave is convinced that the recession(经济衰退) will not reduce peoples interest in buying locally grown and handmade food. “there is misunderstanding that all these foods are more expensive than mass-produced alternatives,” he said. “people are pouring their heart and soul into these products, and they are of the highest quality. ”63. the passage is mainly about _. a. how an online farmers market works b. the american local food movement c. three youths starting an online farmers market d. the reasons why people are interested in local food64. why did the founders start the online farmers market? a. because it met the need of the market. b. because the founders were interested in seasonal food. c. because some people wanted to buy locally grown food d. because farmers wanted to sell their foods.65. the underlined word in paragraph 2 can be used to describe _. a. food of high quality b. terrible food c. food of low fat d. fried food66. about the three founders, we know that _. a. they are of the same age b. they gave up their work to start the website c. they used to be colleague d. they majored in farming at college dto succeed in business or life we must continually take actions. putting yourself on the line day after day can be extremely boring, especially when things do not work out as desired. each time a disappointing event happens, i like to get reminded of these famous failures:gates has literally changed the work culture of the world in the 20th and the 21st centuries, by simplifying the way the computer is being used. he was the worlds richest man for more than one decade. however, in the 1970s before starting out, he was a harvard university dropout9（辍学者）. the most ironic (讽刺的) part is that he started a software company by purchasing the software technology from someone for only $50 back then. lincoln received no more than five years of formal education throughout his lifetime. when he grew up, he joined politics and had 12 major failures before he was elected the 16th president of the united states of america. newton was the greatest english mathematician of his generation. his work on optics and gravitation made him one of the greatest scientists the world has even known. many thought that newton was born a genius, but he wasnt! when he was young, he did very poorly in grade school, so poor that his teachers became helpless in improving his grades. beethoven is widely regarded as one of historys great composers. his reputation has inspired composers, musicians and audiences who were to come after him. before the start of his career, beetho
