It could
11、be just about anything! So Crystal asked the newspapers adviser, Mr. Jackson, if she could do a feature (专题介绍) on the schools basement.

19、tuck,“ he says. Whats more, he notes, “Its very hard to leave them out for long periods without a human helping them.“ What if the robot could move above the crops? Jonathan Rogers says, “The sloths (树懒) move from tree branch to tree branch without walking around the forest floor.“ Then his team set
20、 out to design a robot that could swing hand to hand along wires hung above the field. He named their invention Tarzan after the jungle-swinging character in a movie.

The three questions are: when is the right t
26、ime for every action, who are the most important people, and what is the most important thing to do? The king asked his men, promising he would richly reward anyone who could answer the questions, but their answers didnt satisfy him. In the end, he decided to visit a wise hermit (隐士) who lived in th
27、e woods. The hermit would speak only with common people, so the king put on simple clothes. When he got close to the hermits hut (茅舍) , he ordered his bodyguards to wait behind. He went to the place and found the hermit digging. He asked the wise man his three questions, but the hermit didnt answer.
28、 Seeing how old and weak the hermit was, the king began helping him dig. The king dug for hours, but the hermit never answered his questions. Just as the king was about to leave, a wounded man came running to the hut and fainted (昏倒) before them. Then the king carried the wounded man to hermits hut
29、and took care of him. The king was so tired and fell asleep as well. When he awoke, he talked with the man, who said that he had wanted to kill the king but was wounded by his bodyguards. He asked for forgiveness (原谅) and promised to serve the king faithfully. Afterwards, the king went outside and r
30、epeated his questions to the hermit once more. The hermit replied, “If you had not helped me dig earlier, you would have left and been killed by the man. So, the most important man back then was me, and the most important time was when you were digging. The most important thing to do was to be kind
31、to me. When the wounded man arrived, he was the most important person, and saving him was the most important thing. By doing so, you made peace with an enemy.“ The king finally had his three answers. The most important time is the present, as its the only time we have the power to act. The most impo

35、It happens to all of us. When it is the end of the term, your teacher will give you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. S
36、o, what do you do now? A bad report card is something that almost all the students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate (评价) students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a ba
37、d report card, it is important to figure out what to do next. The first thing to do is to talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation (参与) in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solv
38、e on your own (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behaviour (行为) ! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can rec
39、eive the extra help you need. Then, make a careful plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you talk to your parents. Thats a good way to make your parents less angry. While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every
40、 report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the worlds most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, and you should too! （1）W
41、hich of the following is NOT a cause of a bad report card? A.You failed to finish your homework. B.You studied hard enough for the test. C.There was something wrong with the test itself.

A.Tell
43、ing your parents the test was too difficult for you B.Explaining why you couldnt complete your homework on time C.Understanding all parents want their children to get good grades D.Showing your parents you have a careful plan to improve your grades （4）The text above is written to _.

44、ess angry B.help students find out the reasons for good grades C.tell right things to do after bad report cards D.encourage students to study hard to get good grades 6.阅读理解 “BANG!“ the door caused a reverberation (回声) . It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other
45、 side. We were both in great anger. “Jack! Never set foot in this house again!“ shouted father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing my sad-feeling. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go. A young father who held a child in
46、his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree (无忧无虑的) . But now . I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We are just like two persons coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door betw
47、een us that can never be opened. I walked in the streets. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself: “Is father waiti
48、ng for me, or is he still angry with me?“ In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except fathers. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the h
