Both books have similar 31 and, in my opinion, a similar message. They are 32 for ages seven to thirteen, though as a(n) 33 , I love them, too. The first one is The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes, which is about a poor girl who moves to a new 34 and tells the other students that even though she wears rags, she has one hundred 35 dresses in her closet. The students know she is 36 , and they pick on her and call her names often. In the 37 , the girl moves away, and the children in the class find out that she did have one hundred beautiful dressesbut they were just 38 the girl had done of the dresses she envisioned (想象) in her 39 . I love discussing this book with kids because it covers many levels: 40 children who are different, explaining why someone might be 41 , the emotions of a student, not making quick judgments about others. It touches on several 42 and really helps students see the point of view of others.Another book that 43 with compassion (同情) is The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis. It is about an elderly lady who 44 one hundred pennies in a box, one penny for each 45 of her life. Throughout the book she tells her grandson, Michael, the meaning of each penny and stories that go 46 with it. Anyone who has an elderly grandmother can relate to this story, 47 it is also good for kids who dont have a close 48 with an elderly person. It helps to show them that even though someone might be old, he or she 49 lived with energy and spirit, just like a kid. It also shows them that each elderly person has a wealth of experiences, heartache, love, wisdom, and memories, and that out of admiration for the long 50 the person has led, each elderly person should be cherished and respected.31.

I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible. Im really tired, but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.First of all, we had to meet outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.The other problem was that I didnt know anyone. My family moved over the summer holidays, because of Dads new job. So now I have to try to make some new friends. Standing in front of the school this morning, I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. Its on the 5th floor and guess what? . We arent allowed to use the lift. I couldnt believe it.When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didnt know anyone. He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school has a different timetablecan you believe it? Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. Im in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun. Im worried that Ill forget my timetable and go to the wrong room! How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?Lunchtime was OK. After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looks interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.So far so good. Im quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though Ive got science. I hate science! Jason51.

To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Dont just think about the universitys reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals. Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they dont follow the application procedure properly.Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.58.

A. fail to get to the next roundB. lose money in the first round C. get acceptedin the next roundD. get kicked by a professorDHave you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions dont talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If youve got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 am and youre on the 18th plane in line, youre going to be 40 minutes late.”Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays.The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.62. FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by _ between two regions. A. different languagesB. technical misunderstanding C. misunderstanding of the rulesD. lack of communication63. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays? A. A growing number of flights.B. Bad weather. C. A growing population.D. Lack of new technology.64. From the passage we can infer that _. A. FAA is a national center which controls all the flight matters B. FAA has taken control to solve airport delays C. in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutes D. safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays65. Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage? A. FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays. B. Airport delays are on the rise. C. Travel problems cost billions in lost work time. D. FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide.66. For most young people, there is a (渴望) to be free to do what they want. 67.
