On Tuesday, it stopped second-home purchases for families who are residents, while denying new home loans for migrant families who have not worked in the city for at least one year, said a local official.At the same time, the amount of deposits for first and second home purchases has been raised.Thirteen other cities now have similar loan caps and higher down payment to cool down the overheated property market.In Guangzhou, only 308 apartments were traded online, on Monday, according to the Land Resources and House Management Bureau. This represented a big decrease for a single day.And the average price was 8,600 yuan（$1,320）a square meter, the first time the price has dropped below 9,000 yuan a square meter in two years.The government will stop unreasonable home demand and limit speculation in the property market, housing management bureau officials have explained.The citys new rules now require buyers to have a household registration, or hukou, and a marriage certificate to purchase an apartment.Cheng Yun, of Guangdong Centraline Property Co Ltd, said most would-be property buyers have adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

It has touched many children who have read it. The poem is both entertaining and educative. It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb. It is said that the poem was inspired by a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling, Massachusetts, in the USA.Mary Sawyer（1806-1889）lived on a farm with her family. One day, when she was about nine years old, she saw a little lamb that had just been born and abandoned by its mother. It was very weak and looked as if it would die that very moment. Mary took pity on the poor creature. She begged her father to let her take the lamb home and nurse it. Her father refused at first, but later he granted her request. Mary spent the whole night taking care of the lamb. Eventually, it grew strong. Mary was very kind to the lamb. She would wash and comb its fleece. Mary and her lamb became very close friends. Now, Mary lived on a farm far from other children so she had no one to play with. She had no dolls. The lamb became her only playmate, following her everywhere she went.One day, the lamb followed Mary to school. At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother, Nathaniel, suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school. When they got to school, she hid the lamb under her desk. Later, the teacher called Mary up to recite. She went to the front of the class. To her shock, the lamb left its hiding place under her desk and followed her to the front of the class. The students and the teacher thought it was very funny to see a lamb at school, but then the teacher asked Mary to lock the lamb in a shed outside the school.That very day, a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Marys school. He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day. John Roulstones poem contained twelve lines.Mary had a little lamb,Its fleece was as white as snow,And everywhere that Mary went,The lamb was sure to go.It followed her to school one day;That was against the rule.It made the children laugh and playTo see the lamb at school.And so the teacher turned it out,but still it lingered nearAnd waited patiently aboutTill Mary did appear.Later, Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title Mary Had a Little Lamb. The poem has become a classic, loved by children from every culture and ethnic group. The appeal of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love that existed between the little girl and her pet. The town of Sterling has honored Marys lamb by building a statue of the lamb with Mr. Roulstones poem on a plaque below the statue.44Which of the following is true according to the passage?AMarys father gave the lamb to Mary as a gift.BMary and the little lamb became very close friends.CSara Josepha Hale was also a friend of Mary.DPeople had Mr Roulstones poem inscribed in memory of him.45What is the best title for the passage?AMary Had a Little Lamb BThe Life of Mary SawyerCThe Origin of a Poem DAn Animal Friend46How did Marys teacher find the lamb in the school?AMarys brother told everything to the teacher.BIt followed Mary when she went to the front of the class.CMarys classmates shocked the teacher with the lamb.DMary locked the lamb in a shed.47Why did the poem become a classic?AIt had another twelve lines added.BIt was written by a young man.CIt describes the true love between a little girl and her pet.DA statue of lamb was erected in the town of Sterling.CIn Africa, it is common for a newly-married girl to take one of her younger brothers or sisters to her new home. So when my aunt got married, my grandmother decided that I should go and live with her in the city, far away from my village in the countryside. I lived in the city for ten years. When I finally returned to my hometown, I was like a fish out of water. There were many things I had to learn in order to fit into my new life. In the city, little boys used to do many wicked things to animals. We would beat the dogs or cats or even destroy the nests of the birds in the trees. Once we threw a cat into a fast flowing river and then cheered excitedly as it struggled in the water.It was quite different when I went back to my hometown. My father had more than two hundred sheep and goats. My father was very quick to realize that I did not care for animals. I would grumble when he woke me up early in the morning to accompany him to the stables to give salt to the sheep and goats before they went out to graze. He would force me to clean the smelly sores on the animals hoofs. He made sure that. I fed the cat and dog first before eating my own food.Some of my fathers goats had become very wild. They would run away to other farms and destroy their crops. My father put a rope around each wild goats neck. Then he brought the goats to us children and asked each of us to tame his or her own goat. How could I tame a wild goat? I went to my father for advice on what to do. He said that I should develop my own methods. I decided to observe others. I realized that the most important things between the other children and their animals was love and confidence. You have to be gentle with the animal and make it trust in you, one of my brothers explained to me.Slowly, I realized that each of my brothers and sisters had developed a special language for communicating with their animals. With time I understood that taming the goats was not a collective task. It had become each childs struggle for personal success. And to succeed, each child had to build a personal relationship with his or her goat. In fact, they came to share the best of secrets, the secret of love.My brothers and sisters gave each of their goats a name. So I named mine Queen. I would take corn in my hands and then invite Queen to come and eat. At first, she would run away whenever I reached my hand toward her. But gradually she began to trust me. I used to enjoy it most when she licked salt from my palms. The cool wetness of her tongue made me feel relaxed. I would slowly caress her back to make her feel more confident in me.Eventually, Queen understood me even more than my own father did. My father could see that I had changed a lot. He was very happy with me. At Christmas, he bought me a special present that I have cherished ever since. zx48Which do you think is the best title for the passage?ALove Me, Love My Dog BLove from the StablesCQueen, One of My Best Friends DMy New Life49Why did the writer go to live with his aunt?ABecause it was the custom in their culture.BBecause his grandmother wanted him to go.CBecause he could do a lot of wicked things in the city.DBecause he could swim like a fish.50What does the author mean by saying he was like a fish out of water in paragraph one?AHe was not used to life in the countryside.
