I need to find the absolutely most perfect thing ever!”Harold opens cupboards in the kitchen.

Then I wont have anything to share.”Harold runs into his bedroom. “I know,” he says. “I bet I have more than one hundred rocks in my rock collection.” He puts rocks in his pockets. His pants hangs down. “Uh-oh. These rocks are too heavy.” Harold puts back the rocks and walks down the hall. He walks all around the inside of the house.

Curious.B1846 E. 4th St.Sarsatley, VA25206Dear Principal Walker, As president of Sullivan Senior High Schools student council, I have been chosen to write to you on behalf of the tenth grade class. We would like to put forward a tenth-grade trip to Sea World in San Diego, California. We chose Sea World for several reasons. In science class, we have been studying oceans and the marine(海洋的) life. Going to Sea World would provide us with the opportunity to visit these creatures and to better understand their habitats. We will have lots of fun and learn at the same time. The close location of San Diego was also a factor in planning this trip. San Diego can be reached by bus in about six hours. If the buses leave Sullivan after school on Friday afternoon, we should arrive in California in time to have a late dinner and get settled into our hotel rooms before midnight. You may be asking yourself, “How will this trip be financed?” We are suggesting that the school host an “Oceans of Fun” night for family, friends, and club members for a small fee. The activities would be organized by tenth grade students. Some of our ideas for the night include a Surfers Snack Shop with homemade food for sale, Pirate Petes Treasure Hunt, and a short production of “A Whale of a Tale.” This would be the best opportunity to display our ocean animal reports. We invite you to our next student council meeting on January 17, 2012, to discuss your thoughts and work out any concerns you still may have. Thank you for taking the time to consider our request for a tenth-grade trip. Sincerely, Julie Martino59. What do we know about Sea World?A. The habitats of the marine creatures need to be rescued in Sea World. B. Sea World in San Diego is the most popular holiday camp.C. Students can practise what theyve learnt in Sea World.D. the president of Sea World invites Julie to visit them. 60. San Diego is selected as the destination because _ . A. it is close B. it has cheap hotels C. it can be reached by boat D. it can provide late dinners61. The school is advised to raise finance by _ on an “Oceans of Fun” night.A. publishing the pupils reportsB. selling shop bought foodC. organizing a charity partyD. charging entrance fees62. Julie writes the letter to _ . A. introduce their ideas to the principal B. persuade the principal to agree the plan C. tell the principal about details from the trip D. describe the fund raising activities to the principal C Youre standing in the dairy section at the grocery store, searching for your favorite brand. Suddenly, you catch a smell of chocolate cookies. You forget about dairy and head for the bakery section. Guess what? You just walked into an odor trap! The odor(气味) was cooked up by scientists in a lab. For years, scientists have been studying the special powers of smell. They found that more than our other senses, smell changes our mood and helps us remember things. So companies have begun spending thousands of dollars to scent（使充满香味）entire stores. Artificial scents are being used to lead customers by the nose. These smells help to get people inside and put them in the mood to buy. They even make customers remember the store later, so theyll come back for more. Also, many companies have smartly made use of product smells. A company added lemon fragrance to its dish detergent. They wanted people to think the soap contained “natural” cleaners. It worked! New uses for smells are being created every day. One bank, for example, gives customers coupons(优惠券) advertising car loans（贷款）. To get people to take out a loan, bank officials hope to coat these coupons with the fresh leather smell of a new car. In Australia, telephone offices are putting sweat odor on unpaid bills. Since some people sweat when theyre scared, this smell might remind them of when they were frightened. And theyll pay the bills right away!What lies ahead for our noses? Smell scientists are working on some pretty far-out ideas. Would you believe TV sets that produce smells? Or how about scent diets? Certain food smells will fool your stomach into thinking its full. Alarm clocks will scent your bedroom with a strong pleasant smell designed to wake you up. Scientists are even working on ways to keep garbage from smelling. Researchers expect scents to help students make more sense of what theyre learning. And just think. Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!63. How do sales methods affect customers in the stores?A. They change customers preferences.B. They persuade customers to use credit cards.C. They make customers avoid bad and unsafe products.D. They influence customers to make unplanned purchases.64. Why do telephone offices put sweat odor on unpaid bills?A. Because the sweat odor is a reminder of terrifying experience.B. Because the sweat odor can change peoples attitude.C. Because most people dont think much of sweating.D. Because many people dislike paying bills.65. What does the author mean by saying “Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!”? A. Students would benefit more from smell research. B. Students would be more willing to do homework. C. Smell research would develop beyond our imagination. D. Smell research would make great differences to our life.66. Why does the author write this passage?A. To encourage the store owners to use smells.B. To inform the readers of an interesting subject.C. To blame the advertisers that use smells to sell.D. To expose wrong practices by smell scientists.DIn the 1700s people could observe a vast group of passenger pigeons as they traveled through Kentucky. The birds took three days to pass above. How could a bird that was the most prolific in North America become die out? Some people believe that deforestation caused the decline of the pigeon. In the 1800s many of Americas forests were cut down, and the pigeon was forced to use the forests that remained. By the 1870s, most of the pigeons concentrated in the West. On the other hand, when the forests were cleared, farming expanded. The fields of grain planted in place of the forests offered the pigeon new sources of food. Forbush, a pigeon researcher, confirms, “although the land was cleared, there remained and still remains vast area covered by crops enough to furnish great armies of pigeons with food”. Another reason attributed to the pigeons disappearance was its lack of adaptability. Once their numbers reduced, pigeons could not produce enough young to counterbalance those lost to storms or other natural events. Also, the pigeons enormous numbers and way of life had previously increased their survival chances. For example, neighboring pigeons cared for orphaned young. The smaller groups left in the 1900s could not adapt and rebound(回升) without the safety and benefits of large numbers. However, the pigeon would not have needed to adapt so quickly to such a reduction in its population without overhunting. This was the major factor causing the adaptability issue.The pigeons present in the 1800s led most
