Like any other couple, they tried to make ends meet and do the right thing for their children. However, they still often argued about small things in their life. They wanted to make changes.
"You know, Jo Ann, I've got a magic chest. Every time I open it. It's full of clean clothes," Larry said. "I want to thank you for filling them all these years."
Jo Ann looked at her husband and felt strange. This wasn't the first time Larry had done something strange recently, so Jo Ann forgot it quickly. But it happened again a few days later.
"Jo Ann, there was a great dinner," Larry said one evening. "I enjoyed all you have done in the past 15 years. You have cooked lots of delicious food for me and the kids."
Jo Ann was growing worried. "What's wrong with my husband?" she wondered.
Day in and Day out, Larry continued to express his thanks.
Over several weeks, Jo Ann grew used to that. Her steps became a little lighter and smiles were seen on her face more often.
Larry has never told Jo Ann the reason for his change but both the couple knew the secret of the great change.

Even though it can fly, it can't fly through the open roof. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a short run of 3 or 4 meters. Without space to run, he will not even try to fly, but will stay in his small jail for the rest of his life.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night can not take off from the ground. If it is placed on the ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly. If it reaches a higher place, it will be able to throw itself into the air. Then it takes off quickly. But on flat ground, it will never fly.
A bee dropped into a cup will stay there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but keeps trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will look for a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
(1)、A buzzard can't fly through the open roof of a cage because _____A、it is too big and heavy to fly up. B、it always starts its flight with a short run. C、it has gotten used to living in the cage. D、it is too lazy to fly further or higher.(2)、Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that the bat _____A、is a kind of smart bird B、never flies around at night C、can take off quickly from the ground D、can only take off a high place(3)、Which of the following is NOT true about the bee?A、The bee will stay wherever it is placed. B、The bee will die in the cup if not saved in time. C、The bee tries to escape from the sides. D、The bee doesn't see the way out at the top.(4)、What lesson does the story teach us?A、Different animals have different living habits. B、Animals will always give up when in trouble. C、We should try new ways to deal with difficulties. D、We should solve problems by ourselves.5. 阅读理解Being born during the Great Depression (萧条) , as the middle of seven children to a carpenter's family, was not a "silver spoon" experience, but I am one well blessed in life.
Our family had a large garden, raised two pigs each year for their meat, and had a family cow for our milk. During the Depression, Dad out of work, we started to do some washing for the neighborhood, employing up to seven girls at one time, and farming 12 acres of nearby land to earn a few extra dollars.

Today, I look back on those great experiences and see they were my possibilities to grow.

B、He was born in a rich family. C、His father was once out of work. D、He became CEO before retiring.6. 阅读理解Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.
(1)、Which of the following statement is NOT true?A、Food when poisoned can make people sick. B、Food poisoning means death. C、Food poisoning comes in many kinds. D、Food poisoning can be serious.(2)、We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning ___________ .A、always start with a fever B、are too common to be noted C、can usually be noticed within hours D、need no attention(3)、Food poison can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ___________ .A、some chemicals B、low temperatures C、some tiny living things D、certain natural materials(4)、From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ___________.A、mushrooms should not be eaten B、vegetables are safer than meat and seafood C、natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals D、different types of food should be handled differently(5)、It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A、natural materials are safe in food processing B、chemicals are needed in food processing C、food poisoning can be kept under control D、food poisoning is out of control三、任务型阅读(本题有5小题,每小题2分;共计10分)
