        My husband and I just had a wonderful week with our granddaughter Jenny. We play on the beach, swam in the sea and just1being together.

        We all had a good time,2then came the saddest time. We had to say3.

        We planned to leave early the next morning, so4I hugged Jenny before bedtime, we knew it was also goodbye. She cried, "5, I don't want you to go"

        I6exactly know how she felt, so I hugged her tightly(紧紧地). When I was sure7I should say to her, Jenny said, "Could you8me a note like you did last time?" It took me a while to understand what she was9. I remember when we left from our last visit,10wrote her a note and put it on her desk.

        So later that night, I wrote several notes to my Jenny and11them in places where I knew she'd find them: by the12where she'd watch her favourite programme, in her bags, on the beach umbrella she'd use when she went out to the pool. I13my loved Jenny would feel loved again when she found the notes.

        I know Jenny isn't the14one who received love notes. I believe many others once left this kind of note to their loved ones.15offer directions(方向) for our lives, and comfort for days when we're hurt. I hope that everyone will get love when they need it!

        For thousands of years, humans(人) have explored (探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring?

        First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star— the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.

        However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.

    After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31℃ and -12℃. That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.

    (1)、How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order.

    a. Astronomers look for three key things.

    b. Astronomers look for and find a right star.

    c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star.

    A、a-b-c. B、b-a-c. C、b-c-a. D、c-a-b.
    (2)、According to paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important?
    A、Water. B、Air. C、Rock. D、Food.
    (3)、What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?
    A、the Earth B、Gliese 581g C、the Sun D、Gliese
    (4)、What's the main idea of the text?
    A、Gliese 581g is already a new Earth. B、There are some planets like our Earth. C、Water, air and rock are important. D、Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.
  • 5. 阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

        How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?

        The sun was probably the world's first "clock", except in the far north, where the Eskimos live. There, it's dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used clock. Even today, if you don't have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it's day, and when it's dark, it's night. The sun can also tell you if it's morning, noon, or afternoon.

        People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the day time, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.

        Seaman on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

        In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.

        A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hour glass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly an hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

    (1)、According to the passage, there are _______ ways to tell time besides the clock and the watch.
    A、3 B、4 C C、5 D、7
    (2)、The Eskimos can't use the sun for a clock because ________.
    A、they know very little about the sun B、the sun there never goes down in winter. C、It's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun D、It has long dark winters and long light summers
    (3)、In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?
    A、news B、science C、business D、advertisement
    (4)、What's the best title?
    A、Different Ways to Tell Time B、Useful Machine to Tell Time C、The History of the Clock D、The Development of the Clock

        What would you do if you felt anxious (焦虑的)? Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences with you? In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called "Healing (治愈) Hearts" to help people deal with anxiety.
