He thinks playing computer games is the best way to make him relax. When he has free time, he sits in front of the computer. Just like that way, he neither eats nor drinks for several hours. Last weekend, he played games on the computer again. He was too excited and didnt want to move. He didnt have anything for six hours. When he had to go to the bathroom, he found he could not move. He was taken to the hospital. The doctor told him he should do some more different kinds of activities. In other words, he needs more exercise and outdoor activities to make him have a healthy body.After coming back from the hospital, Nick follows the doctors advice. He often plays soccer with his friends. Sometimes he still plays computer games on weekends, but he never does it for long. Now, he lives a happy and healthy life. 51 How old is Nick? A13. B14. C15.

DBecause he couldnt move after playing computer games so long.55Nick should _ to follow the doctors advice.Ago to a movie Blisten to music Ctake more exercise Dplay computer games B One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese student of English, “You speak very good English.” But the student answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the Chinese student had not heard him clearly, he said,“Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”But the Chinese student still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didnt know what to say.Whats wrong with the students answer? He didnt accept a compliment（赞美词）in the same way as the American people do. He should answer, “Thank you.” instead of “No”. He really understood what the American boy had said, but he thought he should be modest. In the west, people will feel proud and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say “Thank you.” If someone says to a woman “You look so beautiful with the new clothes on.” She must be very happy and answer “Thank you.” In our country we think being modest is a virtue（美德）and being proud is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of being modest.If you are modest and say, “No, Im afraid I cant do it well,” while working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No,” you will certainly be looked down upon by others. If asking for a job, one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try ”, he or she will expect to get it. So in the West, you should be brave to show your self-confidence!56. Why was the American boy surprised at the Chinese students answer? A. Because he wondered whether the students could really speak good English. B. Because he wouldnt like others to say “No”. C. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said. D. Because he was expecting the Chinese student to say “Thank you.”57. As the student kept saying “No”, the American boy _. A. became disappointed B. got angry C. lost his interest D. didnt know what to say58. In the west, if you meet a friend who wears a really beautiful dress, you may say“_” A. Where do you buy it? B. How beautiful you are today! C.Could you give me your dress? D. I want a dress like yours very much.59. Why does a man in the west who asks for a job say something like “Yes, I can certainly do it?_ A. Because he is not modest. B. Because he wants to get the job. C. Because he just wants to try. D. Because he can do nothing expect speak in that way.60. We can learn that the writer wants us to _ through his passage. A. be modest B. be proud C. be confident D. be brave C New rules for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a good way to decide who the top students are. The best students wont only have good grades. They will also be kids who dont dye(染) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules. Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone elses work on an exam? Dont do it again! Thats not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, dont tell your parents you have done homework. Do more at school. Good students love animals and care about other people. April is bird-loving month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes more fun for everyone. Have you ever fought with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself. Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe youll discover Earth some day. Dont laugh at new ideas. Everyones ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone. Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Dont let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should take care of yourself and let your parents know. Use the Internet carefully. The internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet arent for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Cant you find any good websites for children? Here are some: http:/kids. eastday. com; http:/www. chinakids. .61.

The plane was flying high in the sky. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Juliana found herself falling through the air. She closed her eyes. She was sure that she was going to die. She fell 3000 metres. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had landed in a tree in the middle of a forest. She was not dead! To her surprise, she was alive. She wasnt even badly hurt. She was still sitting in her seat. She was holding a bag of sweets. She got out of the seat and climbed down the tree. But she could see nobody else. She was alone except for a few dead bodies here and there. She bagan to walk. At first she had nothing to eat except the sweets. Later, she found a little fruit.

E For most people, the word “fashion”means “clothes”. When people ask the question, “What is in fashion in Italy?” They mean, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective, “fashionable”in the same way. “She was wearing some fashionable boots.”His shirt was a really fashionable color.” But, of course, there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in jobs and in languages. Fashions change often. If you look at pictures of people or objects from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very diffferent from his grandson in 1860. Now fashions change very quickly. Some of this is
