When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town 1 with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favourite candy on the shelf.
Once I noticed a man pushing buttons on the ATM machine. He seemed to be hurriedly waiting for his cash to appear. He quickly got a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously I walked over and saw a beautiful $100 bill at the bottom of the machine.2I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear. I knew the man must have left it behind.
I held the money in my hand, looking at the number "100" and feeling 3 than I ever had. I thought about putting the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn't feel4.So I told my mom what had happened. "We will look for him." she said. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car! We went over and asked if he had left money at the cash machine.
"Let me 5" he said, pulling out his wallet and bill. "One hundred, two hundred, three...Oh!You're right," he said with surprise. "I'm 6a $100 bill."
"Here you go," I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a detective who solved a mystery. "Thank you so much," he said. Before saying goodbye, he asked me for my name and address.
On my way home, my7 was racing. 100 dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar or something else in town! But now 8 of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.
A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I opened it to find packages of candy.
"Dear Felice , thank you very much for returning my $100. Your are a great girl, and I appreciate(欣赏)your 9action. I hope you enjoy this candy. Best wishes, Tom." The candy tasted sweet. Although my act wouldn't always be 10 with candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the sweetest part of all.

Lin Tao, a 14-year-old schoolboy, still didn't show up at school. He was often late for school! The teacher called his father and got to know he played computer games online late the night before and couldn't get up that morning. In fact, he had played online games since the age of 11. He almost dropped out of school last year.
Lin Tao is not alone. Information from China Internet Center shows that the number of teenage Internet user in China had been about 170 million by the end of December, 2017. Many of them, like Lin Tao, spend too much time playing computer games online.
To deal with this problem, the Chinese government worked out a draft regulation(法规草案)in January this year. According to the regulation, players need to use their own ID cards to play online games. Game companies will control teenagers' online game time. They will not be able to play online games between 12:00 at night and 8:00 in the morning. If they are still playing during the time, the game companies will lock them out.
Many people think that the regulation can surely better protect Chinese young game players online, while others doubt whether it can successfully stop them from playing games too much. "More and more people come to know that playing online games too much not only brings teenagers healthy and study problems, but also makes them depressed(沮丧的)and lonely," Tong Xiaojun, director from a university, told CCTV. "We need support from the whole society to solve the problem."
(1)、Which of the following is TRUE about Lin Tao?A、He had a fight with his father. B、He dropped out of school. C、He often arrive later for school. D、He started playing games at 14.(2)、Under the regulation, players need to if they want to play online games.A、talk with their parent. B、pay for them C、call the game companies D、use their own ID card(3)、We can learn from the passage that .A、not many young people have the same problem as Lin Tao in China B、it is impossible to control teenagers' online game time C、the game contpanies will offer teenagers prizes if they play well D、everyone should play a part in controlling teenagers' online game time19. 阅读理解THREE CENTURIES OF HOAXES(骗局;恶作剧)!
A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary(匈牙利)built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It made people all over Europe happy and beat nearly everyone it played against .including famous people like French leader Napoleon Bonaparte, and scientist and inventor Yenjamin Franklin. For years, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine. There were people who said it was a hoax, but could not prove it or explain how it worked. About 85 years later, the secret was finally found. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time... who was very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE(逃脱)
On November 9, 1874, New York newspaper, The Herald, ran a terrible story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people hurt. It warned everyone to stay at home to avoid the danger. Many people in New York were terrified, and did as the paper said. If only they had read the final words of the article, which said; "Not one word of it is true. Not a single act described has taken place." It was just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, aneditor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.
ROSIE THE RUNNER
The first woman to cross the finishing line of the 1980 Boston Marathon(马拉松)was 23-year-old Rosie Ruiz. However, as she climbed the stairs to receive her prize, people started to become suspicious(怀疑的).She didn't seem to be tired at all. Furthermore, none of the other runners remembered seeing her, and her picture never appeared in photos or TV broadcasts of the race. Later, several people said that they had seen her join the race only at the end. It turned out she had run only half a mile(about 805 meters) and taken the train for the rest of the race! Her prize was taken away, of course.

D、They made people happy.(3)、The title of the passage shows us that the writer thinks that hoaxes .A、are not new B、are easily avoided C、are always interesting D、are usually unbelievable20. 阅读理解There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.
"I don't believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is," said Rory Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.
He did the experiment in a small tank(鱼缸)of goldfish. "I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day I'd put it in and spread food around it." He said.
"At first they were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in."
After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.
"They remembered perfectly well," he said.
"They actually had a time faster than the average(平均)of the three feeds before I left."
The goldfish showed that they not only could store information, but also had the ability to get it back at a later date.
Culum Brown, a researcher at Sydney′s Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.
He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish are smart animals that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.
"The thing that I really liked about Rory′s experiment is that he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get thorn next just to that specific coloured marker. I thought it was really good." He said.
(1)、Rory put a red Logo in the tank to .A、connect food with the colour B、make the tank nicer to look at C、feed the fish at the same place D、give the fish something to play with(2)、What's the right order of Rory's experiment?a. find a tank of goldfish b. feed the fish next to the Logo
c. leave the goldfish alone for a week d. take out the Logo
e. put a red Logo into the tank f. put the Logo back into the tank
A、adbecf B、aebdcf C、dabefc D、adebcf(3)、What do the last three paragraphs tell us?A、Fish are the cleverest animal in Australia. B、Rory's experiment failed to meet the scientific standard. C、Many scientists had already done the experiment before. D、Rory's research was highly praised by experienced experts(专家).(4)、What can we learn from the story?A、Fish can become smarter with the help of red colour. B、Scientists should learn from middle school students. C、What everybody believes is not neceaarily true. D、Young people are generally smarter than old ones.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空,每空只写一词。

36. 阅读下面的短文用英语回答问题,并将答案写在横线上。
It was a summer afternoon in the countryside. Wan Bo, a university student, was painting while his classmate Tang Qi was making a wooden box by the river. A little riding on a rocking horse caught their eye by chance. It brought them back to their childhood, warm and happy.
"Why not try to make one by ourselves?" said Wan Bo. "You are good at making things and I am interested in painting."
"Actions speak louder than words," Tang Qi said. Then, the two young men began to collect some information about it. During those days, watching videos about caring(雕刻) and shaping wood into horse shapes on the Internet became an important part of their life.
Several months later, a wooden rocking horse appeared. They felt so excited that they put the picture of it on the Internet right away. To their surprise, it attracted lots of people's attention and some even hoped to order one.
The two young men thought it might be a good chance. They sent some forms to the customers to make a survey. According to the result, they made each customer a special rocking horse. These horses were quite different from those produced in other factories, and they soon became popular among the customers.
In the first year of their new hobby, Wan and Tang made thirteen rocking horses. Sometimes, they also repaired rocking horses for people. They made the old ones look new again. Wan and Tang helped those people bring back many happy memories.
Their hobby has now become a successful and busy business.
(1)、How many rocking horses did they make in the first year of their new hobby?(2)、What did the forms help Wan and Tang to know about'?(3)、Do you think it is a good idea to start a business with the hobby like the two young university students? Why or why not?七、书面表达
