1、Every time I came home from work at midnight, I often saw a shadow (影子) walking in our neighborhood. Was it "a night walker?" Someone walked alone in the dark and this always made me scared.
I thought it was "a sleeping walker". So I never bothered about it. But one night, when I walked past it quietly and quickly as usual, I heard a low voice.
"Do you often have to work at night?"
I was a little afraid. I looked around, but no one was nearby. I ran home as quickly as possible.
Later on, I heard it was a neighbor, an old man who has been living alone at home. He's not "a sleeping walker". He enjoys having a walk at night. So I seldom see him in the neighborhood in the day.
It's said that he was a soldier many years ago. He has two children—a son and a daughter. His son has a family in Shanghai. His daughter went abroad in Sydney. He has been living alone since his wife died several years ago. Without any child living with him, he feels lonely and helpless.
I feel sorry for the old man. We might care less about our parents living alone. When we grow up, our parents get old. We should often go back home even though we're busy with work.
(1)、How did the writer feel when he saw "the night walker"?A、Excited. B、Happy. C、Boring. D、Scared.(2)、What did the old neighbor do when he was young?A、A soldier. B、An artist. C、An engineer. D、A biologist.(3)、The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.A、we shouldn't work at night for money B、life is full of the unexpected C、it's best to live with our parents D、we should often go back home to see our parents -
2、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内单词的正确形式填空。
There are only two weeks left before the new year. New Year's Day is on the way and is unusual day for everyone. It's time to think about (we) favorite topic: gifts!
Coming from the US, I have found giving gifts quite different in China. For example, in the US, when a person (receive) a gift, he or she will open the gift at once public. But in China, it's more polite (thank) for the gift and then open it later in privacy (私下).
Another different thing is about giving money a gift. Although people in the US might give money to their children, it is usually done (secret). They will put the money in a card and not discuss out loud., in China, things are different. Chinese (adult) prefer to give lucky money to kids. The money should be put in a red packet.
(final), the (value) of the gift is also different. In the US, a gift which is expensive usually makes people (excite). While in China, it can make people feel (easy), because they will worry about (choose) the same valuable gift to return the favor. So next time when you give a gift to somebody, I suggest (consider) the culture and meaning about giving gifts.

5、阅读下面短文,按要求完成下面小题。

Do you know something about tree rings (年轮) ? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago? Trees can keep a record of Earth's climate (气候) for a very long time. In fact, trees can live for hundreds and sometimes even thousands of years.
A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall, and little sunshine or rainfall will limit (限制) the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we're sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there no trees and no people. What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.
(1)、What is the article about?(2)、In what kind of climate will the trees grow well?(3)、If we see the tenth ring is near to the eleventh ring, what can we be sure of?(4)、Why did people have to leave the place in New Mexico?(5)、Can you find people in that place in New Mexico now? What do you think people should do? -

20、I think I'm worried about almost everything. At my age, I know how important grades are — they can decide which high school I'll get into, not to mention the stress from applications and interviews. Still, grades can feel unimportant sometimes, since good scores only come from hard work and giving up free time.
What I truly care about is keeping my friendships and joining the after-school activities I love. I don't want to choose between schoolwork and the people who study and have fun with me, because these connections help me deal with other worries. I also fear having no one to rely on. I need real, trustworthy support that won't leave me behind.
—Clotilde Dumont, 13, City of London School for Girls, the UK
In high school, my worries cover both personal things (family, friendships, school pressure) and big global (全球的) problems that I once thought had nothing to do with me. Some countries are stuck in wars, while others ignore plans that pollute the ocean. I think people often waste time arguing over small things but forget urgent topics like the environment and unfair political control. Joining Model United Nations made me see these global issues clearly, and their complexity (复杂性) really upset me. The way to ease this anxiety is to reflect, learn, and become a more well-rounded person.
—Zhang Zhehan, 14, Nanjing Foreign Language School, Jiangsu
I often feel anxious when thinking about the present and future. Now that I'm in Grade 9, everything feels overwhelming: endless texts to memorize, piles of homework to finish, and non-stop exams. I'm worried I won't improve even if I try my best, and I usually hide my weak resilience (恢复力) and exam stress inside.
Luckily, nothing is fixed. Sharing these worries with others is better than letting them explode in anger. With strong willpower, I'll become a better version of myself while dealing with anxiety. At least the world still has so much to offer, and my family, friends and teachers are always there to give advice and help me relax on my life journey.
—Tian Yihe, 14, Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School, Hebei
