Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of the teenagers are the only children in each family. So our parents love us very much. They do everything for us and dont want us to do any housework. I think its bad for us. The following is a real story. I have a classmate named Li Ting. She is the only child in her family. Her parents love her so much that they dont let her do any chores. Every day she only gets up, has meals, goes to school, comes home, does homework and goes to bed. Therefore, she doesnt know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and had an operation in hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldnt cook for her. Li Ting didnt know how to cook the meals. She often felt hungry. Later, she could only eat instant noodles for her meals. From the story, we know that its important for us to learn to do chores and other skills.( ) 6. Teenagers are the children who are_. A. 0-5B. 5-10C. 10-13D. 18-21( ) 7.

Now lets suppose(假定)you were a policeman. Can you read Denis letter?Maybe you need some help: When Denis wanted to write a letter of alphabet（字母）, he wrote down the one before it in the alphabet (字母表). For example, when he wanted to write E, he wrote D instead. Now can you read Denis letter? What must Pat do? When? And what did Denis want?( ) 11. The letters before B and C are A and B.

How to Read a LetterDSherlock Holmes is not a real detective or even a real person, but people send letters to him at his address in London even though he cant possibly receive them! I think people write to him because the books about him make him seem so real and because he is so clever at solving crimes（破案）. Detectives need to be able to notice tiny details(细节) and use logic（逻辑）to discover who did the crime and why they did it. Sherlock Holmes knows how to do all these things.Pictures of Sherlock Holmes always show him wearing a strange hat, smoking a pipe and looking carefully through a magnifying glass（放大镜）, trying to find clues. Clues are important in solving crimes, but I think Sherlock Holmes also uses his imagination（想象力） and his knowledge of science（科学知识）to catch criminals（抓罪犯）.For example, in my favourite story, The Hound(猎犬)of Baskvilles, he investigates(调查) the mysterious(神秘的) death of the Lord(伯爵) of Baskvilles. Using science, he discovers that the murderer（凶手）used a large dog to chase（追赶）the Lord. He finds where the dog was hidden in the forest around Baskville family. By doing this, he finds out that the first Lord of Baskville from a long ago had a secret（秘密的）son. The grandson of this secret son wanted to kill all the Baskville family so he could become the new lord. At the end of the story, Holmes makes the murderer stand beside an old picture of the first Lord so everyone can see how similar they look.I love the Sherlock Holmes stories because as Holmes is investigating the crime, you can try to discover who the criminal（罪犯）is too. I always try to imagine myself playing the violin like Holmes does while he is thinking about a case. In my imagination, I am Sherlock Holmes.( ) 16. What must a detective be able to do according to this passage? A. Act like a criminal B. Notice tiny details and use logic C. Wear a strange hat D. Have good imagination( ) 17. What did Sherlock Holmes wear? A. A magnifying glass B. A strange hat C. A pipe D. A stick( ) 18. Where did Holmes find the dog in the story The Holmes of the Baskvilles? A. In London B. In Baskeville House C. In the forest D. In England( ) 19. How did Holmes discover who the murderer was? A. By reading about the history of the Baskeville family B. By hiding in the forest around Baskeville House C. By following the dog. D. By chasing the Lord. ( ) 20.Why does the writer like reading the Sherlock Holmes stories?
