You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be broken and never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How ?Dont look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Dont let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Dont give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Dont be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going.Dont be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. Its a treasure you can always carry easily.Dont use time or words carelessly. You cant get them back.

There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisions to have only one child.But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child . The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996. For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They dont have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around $160,000.（1）According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?A . Because his parents dont love him.B . Because he doesnt have holidays.C . Because he doesnt have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with.D . Because there are other children in the family.（2）What does the underlined word “overwhelming” mean in the last paragraph?A . 压倒一切的B . 宽松的C . 流行的D . 充足的（3）Why dont parents choose to have a second child?A . The cost of supporting a child is so high.B . Parents are too busy working every day to share their time and energy with more children.C . Some parents cant still get their first childs agreement.D . Both A and B13. （10分） “Cool”is a word with many meaningsIts old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit coldAs the world has changed，the word has had many different meanings“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anythingWhen you see a famous car in the street，maybe you will say，“Its cool”You may think，“Hes so cool，”when you see your favourite footballerWe all maximize（扩大） the meaning of“cool”You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is usedA teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall（瀑布）they had visitedOn one students paper was Just the one sentence，“Its so coolMaybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and feltBut the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of wordsWithout “cool”，some people have no words to show the same meaningSo it is quite important to keep some credibility（可信性）Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”？ I canAnd I think they are also very cool （1）We know that the word cool has had _.

In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop.In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. How far is the post office? you ask. Oh, they answer, its about five minutes walk from here. You say, Yes, but how many miles away is it？ They dont know. People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, Follow me. Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. 根据短文内容回答问题。（1）Do most streets have names in Japan？(不超过5个词) （2）Why do people in Los Angeles measure distance by telling time？(不超过10个词) （3）How many countries does the passage tell us？(不超过5个词) 四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共19分)15. （1分）My bag is very _ (小的). 16. （1分）They finally solved the problem in a p_（合适的）way. 17. （1分）Pollution is our great _./enm/18. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）see friends_（2）wait for_（3）回家_（4）给家里打电话。_（5）躺在阳光下 _19. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）be on a school trip_（2）go back_（3）take photos_（4）on sale_（5）a few_20. （1分）Jin Mao Building is one of the _（最高的）buildings in the world. 21. （5分）将下列内容英汉互译 （1）at the moment_（2）a kind of_（3）clean the house_（4）learn a dragon dance_（5）sweep the floor_五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）语法填空Do you know the song My future isnt a dream?I love the song_it brings me confidence(信心)。 I think that all of our dreams can come true if we work hard_them.When I was young, my father always_me what I would be in the future.
