So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see. One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5:00 p. m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon. So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works. When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. I dont believe Tommy has a hobby, she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies(蝴蝶) in a glass case. The teacher liked the samples（标本） very much and put them on a desk in the classroom.

But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?If you have clean water in a clean glass, youre fine to drink it for a day or two, Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.But you may find that it tastes strange. Thats because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its pH level.wAlso, there might be more microorganisms in your water if you leave it out overnight. Microorganisms grow more quickly at room temperature. These microorganisms can stick to your glass. They can make you get sick more easily. But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.In countries like the US and UK, people often drink water directly from the tap. This is OKhowever, tap water cannot be stored for a long time. Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University, US. After six months, there is less chlorine in the water and bacteria start to grow. Youd better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.What about plastic water bottles? Schwab said people should be careful with them. If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA. This chemical can cause heart disease and cancer.（1）According to the passage, the water in the glass tastes strange after about_. A . 12 hoursB . 2 hoursC . a day and a nightD . two days（2）Why does the water taste strange after a night? A . Because there is less chlorine in the water.B . Because the glasses are dirty after a night.C . Because the plastic produces a chemical called BPAD . Because the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water, lowering its pH level.w（3）The underlined word microorganisms in the fourth paragraph probable mean _. A . 漂浮物B . 微生物C . 抗生素D . 废弃物（4）Which of the following is not true? A . You may get sick more easily after you drink the water overnight.B . Its not a right way to leave a bottle of water under the sun for a long time.C . Many people drink water directly from the tap because of no bacteria in the running water.D . Kellogg Schwab advised us to drink clean water in a clean glass for a day or two.4. （10分）阅读理解 We go to school every day to become better people. How can we start to make big changes in our lives? Perhaps we can get tips from former US First Lady Michelle Obama. During a visit to China from March 20 to 26 in 2015, Obama shared her views on education and youth empowerment with students.The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education. At Chengdu No 7 High School, she told students that having humble roots doesnt matter as long as you have perseverance (毅力). Obama said her family was not rich. Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents sacrifices (牺牲) on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud. Persevering was not easy, though. Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 am and study late into the night. But whenever I got tired or discouraged I would remember something my mother always told me. She said: A good education is something that no one can take away from you.Mrs Obama also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad to broaden their horizons (开阔视野) in a speech at Peking University. As the Chinese saying goes: It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books, she said. Its not enough to get good grades in school. Its also important to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies that are different from your own, she noted. Studying overseas can also benefit future international relations. It can help young people from different countries work together to deal with shared problems like climate change, Obama said.（1）Who did Michelle Obama share her views with? A . Students in the US.B . Students in China.C . Her family members.D . Students who visited the White House.（2）What can we learn from her experience? A . She studied abroad before.B . She was born into a rich family.C . She studied long into the night.D . She often felt tired and discouraged.（3）What does the Chinese saying underlined in the last paragraph mean? A . Getting good grades in school is good enough B . Real life experience is important.C . Traveling is not as beneficial as studying at home.D . Studying far away from home is necessary for success.（4）Whats the story mainly about? A . Michelle Obamas family life.B . Michelle Obamas experience of studying abroad.C . The importance of studying abroad and broadening ones horizons.D . Michelle Obamas views on education and youth empowerment.5. （10分）Choose the best choice from A, B or C according to what you read.

Heres my list of five things I hope to share with you teenagers at school._I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I ask myself if I do things as well as I could._How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear will usually never happen. Theyre just monsters in your own mind. Even if they happen, they will often not be as bad as you expected. In six months, you probably wont remember most of the things you worry about now._When I was young, I often failed to start things I expected to do because I thought theyd taken too long to finish. I always wanted to write a book, for example. But when I thought it might take me more than a year, I lost my enthusiasm(热情). It seemed such a long ti
