In the past when they couldnt write, they used simple symbols to send their messages. Some groups of North American Indians were good at 15 messages. For example, a small stone on top of a large one meant “This is the way.” If there was another small stone on the right, it meant “Turn right.” Some grass with a knot meant “Danger!” and so on. In forests of Africa, it was 16 to travel between villages. But drum could be heard from many kilometers away. So, some groups of Africans made their drums “ 17 ” like people.The Incas of South America used to send messages by tying knots with ropes. Messages have been found, but 18 can understand what they mean. And the Egyptians used pictures as a kind of 19 , but only a few people were 20 to understand them.Today, we also use a lot of symbols. When we are in a car and we see a red light, we stop the car. When a mother says to her child, “Eat your cake!” the child eats the cake. Sometimes the red light and the words of the mother are symbols. And the 21 , of course, is that the 22 way of communication between people is sound.There are more than 3,000 languages in the world today. And about 13 of them are spoken by large groups of people. Languages of the world are both similar and different. They are similar because we can talk and write about the same things. They are different because we talk and write about these things with different 23 .There is no 24 that we learn a second language in order to communicate with people who do not speak our language.15.

Thank goodness!” School was over and I was tired. I sat in the front of the school bus. Janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛) by talking. I try to listen politely, but usually Im busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to. “My fathers ill,” she said. I could see worry in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile. With a sudden feeling of interest, I asked, “Whats wrong with him?” With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued, “Ive already lost my mum, so I dont think I can stand losing him.” I couldnt answer. My heart ached for her. I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldnt want anyone to go through that. Suddenly I realized Janie wasnt only a bus driver, which was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares too. I shouldnt have been so selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged (判断) her by her job and considered her as an unimportant person. Understanding people is an art. 25. After she learned about Janies story, the writer thought of _. A. her fathers deathB. her mothers pain C. the ache of her own heartD. the pain of Janies parents26. The writer found herself selfish because she had _. A. never thought of her mothers pain B. thought of Janie as nothing but a driver C. thought of herself as an important person D. never listened to others while they were sad27. In this passage the writer tries to tell us that _. A. losing parents makes people sad and helpless B. understanding people around us takes time C. we should learn to understand people around usD. its not right to judge people around us by their clothes or jobs B“Put on your seat belt!” Everyone gets sick of hearing that. But its good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.These children are too old to be in safety seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who arent wearing seat belts can be thrown out of the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown out of the car.New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats (加强座椅) in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.While parents have the choice of whether to wear seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure your children are in seat belts and safety seats. Its the law and it will save their lives.28. What does the sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing that.” in the first paragraph mean? A. No one likes to be ordered to wear seat belts.B. All people may fall ill when they put on seat belts.C. Many people dont care much about wearing seat belts.D. None of the people knows it is a piece of good advice.29. Why were more than two thirds of 1,627 children killed in car accidents in 2005? A. Because they werent using seat belts.B. Because they were sitting in the front seats of cars.C. Because they were not old enough to sit in the car.D. Because they were too careless when walking on the road.30. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Traffic Laws to PassB. Traffic Accidents Prevented C. Seat Belts for Childrens Safety D. Parents Choices for ChildrenC Imagine this situation: A mother writes a note to her children and then leaves home for the day. The note says the children should prepare a meal for themselves. There are eggs in the house. Some are hard-boiled (煮老的), while the others are not. Both kinds of eggs look the same. How can the children know which is which, without breaking them?One fifth grader, Samadhi, says she had to try more than one idea to tell the difference between the eggs. “It was difficult, but it was fun too. You get to do things yourself. You get to try new things. You dont have to do what the teacher tells you to.”Samadhi discovered that spinning the eggs solved the problem. Raw (生的) eggs spin more slowly than hard-boiled ones.This mystery is called “The Eggcellent Idea”. It is one of 65 mysteries in the series. Each one takes about 90 seconds to read and requires students to solve it using their math and science knowledge.Karen Rivera notes that the mystery series was the creation of Eric Yoder and his daughter Natalie. “When it was first written, the daughter was still a middle schooler,” Rivera says. “So its not just written for children, but it was actually written in part by the child herself. Every single mystery is written with characters who are children. The children are facing real world problems they need to solve, using their background knowledge on math and science.”According to Rivera, the fact that the students are leaving the classroom, still talking about what they have done, tells her that they really made it real experience, something that they can work out and continue using in real life.31. What has Samadhi learned in solving the egg mystery?A. The ability of doing things by herself.B. The spirit of teamwork in solving the mystery.C. The importance of learning math and science well.D. The difference in speed of spinning raw and hard-boiled eggs.32. What do we know about the mystery series?A. 90 seconds is limited to solve each mystery.B. The mysteries are about middle school life.C. Natalie based the mysteries on her own life.D. Every mystery requires children to face and solve problems around them.33. What does Rivera think of the mysteries?A. Difficult. B. Practical. C. Interesting. D. Amazing.
