Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so!
It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back. When did the writer get the gift?
| A．At the age of 16. |
| B．After making friends with the boy. |
| C．In the first year at a middle school. |
| D．After becoming closer to everyone in the class. |

| A．Because the writer’s old school was far away. |
| B．Because the writer didn’t know who the boy was. |
| C．Because the smile didn’t mean anything to the boy. |
| D．Because the writer felt lonely and had no friends and it made her feel happy and warm. |

| B．Because she didn’t know anyone at the time. |
| C．Because she was in the first year at the junior high school. |

Things are going great in Cannes(戛纳), France. I have an exciting experience here. I have only been here at the film festival for two days, but I have already seen four films. When the films are not on, I like to go to watch the fashionable people on the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors. I saw three of my favourite stars hanging out at the festival yesterday.However, I was too nervous to talk to them.
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, about twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme d’Or(金棕榈奖). The films are from all over the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa…
There are also so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film making business. For someone who loves films, this is heaven(天堂)!
If you come to the festival, the following suggestions will be helpful. First, you’ll need to remember to bring your invitation, because you cannot watch any of the films without one.
Second, you’ll need to bring some nice clothes. During the day everyone walks around in T-shirts and shorts. But in the evening, everyone has to wear formal(正式的) clothes. I am wearing a long dress all the time!

In the sunny night, look up at the clear night sky. You can probably see thousands of stars. The biggest thing you’ll see, of course, is the moon. For thousands of years, people have wondered about this big thing in the sky.
Earth’s moon is a satellite. A satellite is a body that orbits(环绕轨道运行)a planet. All moons are satellites, and many planets have them. Some have many moons. Earth, of course, only has one. It’s a special moon, though. It’s the fifth largest moon in the solar system!
In fact, the moon is much smaller than the sun. But it’s much closer to Earth, so it looks as big as the sun. The moon is so close that you can see its dark and light spots(斑点)without a telescope. Men flew and landed on the moon’s surface many times by spacecrafts in the 1960s and 1970s. Neil Armstrong was the first human to step on the moon. He walked on the moon on July 20th, 1969. The flights to the moon have helped us learn much about it. Astronauts even brought rocks home with them!
There’s still a lot to learn about the moon. Now people still can’t live on the moon because it does not have oxygen or water like the Earth. But I’m sure that humans can live there one day in the future.

How green are you? Do you know how to be green?
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
| A．How to produce things. | B．How to burn things. |
| C．How to help others. | D．How to be green. |
| A．Don’t waste things. | B．Always throw away old things. |
| C．Always buy new things. | D．Buy too many things from abroad. |
| A．You can burn them. |
| B．You can use them again. |
| C．You can throw them away. |
| D．You can change them into something else. |
| A．waste, reuse and recycle | B．repair, burn and recycle |
| C．reduce, reuse and recycle | D．reduce, waste and recycle. |
| A．a menu | B．a dictionary |
| C．a storybook | D．a magazine |
