First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box and put the ants into it. Soon they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. With my moms help, I kept a record of what happened each day and named the ants.One day when I had put my face close to the structure (building), accidentally I knocked it over, and all the tunnels fell in. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration (挫折)”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Over the years, I came to realize the ants have the spirit of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each worked at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (毅力) are indeed the keys to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment.So I try to live my life like those hardworking ants. But, unlike them, I try not to let frustration defeat (击败) me. I will have to keep building my tunnels.（1）The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _.A . for the ants to live inB . to get sunlight inC . to keep the sand cleanD . for the boy to watch（2）Which of the following is NOT the lesson from the ant farm?A . The ants have the spirit of teamwork.B . The ants give up when they face frustration.C . The ants should be admired for their hard work.D . Teamwork and perseverance are indeed the keys to success.（3）Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage?A . To share a personal experience.B . To tell readers a story about antsC . To warn readers not to build an ant farm.D . To call on readers to learn from the ants.（4）What did the writer think of the ants?A . Persistent (执着) and friendly.B . Selfish and foolishC . Clumsy (愚笨的) and lazy.D . Hard-working but pessimistic (悲观).12. （10分）Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧). People came just to hear him play.

Three people from different countries have given their opinions.Robert (Canada)I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Chinese for about 4 months before moving to China. Since I speak Chinese every day, my writing, reading and listening are quite good. I think learning other languages is a great thing. It offers a new and different way of living and looking at our life and the world around us.Ted (the UK)Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and the UK is not good at teaching foreign languages. However, China is a very large and developing market for business people. For them, Chinese is worth learning.Larry (the USA)I dont think Chinese will be as widely spoken throughout the world as English. It is too time-consuming ( 费时的) to learn as a second language.
