Molly was eight years old. This year she spent the summer with her Aunt Cathy. Her parents took a six-week trip to Europe and let Molly stay at her aunt’s house. She was very unhappy, because she couldn’t spend the summer with her friends at the neighborhood pool like she did every summer.
Molly’s Aunt Cathy did everything to make her happy. She took Molly to the park, the zoo, and even took her shopping, but nothing made Molly happy.
One afternoon, Aunt Cathy was working in her garden. She found that Molly was watching her. “Come and help me, Molly,” Aunt Cathy said. Molly slowly walked out to the garden and began looking closely at the flowers.
“What kind are these?” Molly asked. She pointed (指) to some small yellow flowers.
“Those are called snapdragons (金鱼草),” Aunt Cathy answered. “Do you want to grow some flowers?”
“Yes,” Molly said.
When Molly’s parents got back from their trip, she showed them her flowers. Aunt Cathy told Molly how to look after her flowers when she got home. Molly thanked her for the best summer.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible; learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked(渗) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.It is important to ________.

We all enjoy the beautiful show of colours as leaves change each autumn. But did you ever wonder how and why this happens?
Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖). Glucose is a kind of sugar, which plants use as food for energy and growing.
The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis that means “ putting together with light”. A chemical called chlorophyll helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories.
As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. Small amounts of these colours have been in the leaves all along. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples (枫树), glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red colour. The brown colour of trees like oaks (橡树) is made from waste left in the leaves.
It is the mixture of all these things that makes the beautiful colours we enjoy during autumn. The word “chlorophyll” in the third paragraph means _______ in Chinese.
| A．叶绿素 | B．氧气 | C．胡萝卜素 | D．蛋白质 |
The leaves of the trees in autumn turn yellow because of the short of _____.
| A．water and carbon dioxide |
| B．glucose and energy |
| C．sunlight and water |
| D．sunlight and carbon dioxide |
The way that _______________________ is called Photosynthesis .
| A．plants change water and carbon dioxide into sugar |
| B．plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar with the help of sunlight |
| C．plants use glucose as food for energy and growing |
| D．chlorophyll is a great help |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．When autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter. |
| B．During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer. |
| C．During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colours are kept in the leaves all the time. |
| D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer. |
This passage tells us __________________.
| A．all the plants can grow well with the strong sunlight |
| B．there are all kinds of plants on the earth |
| C．all the colours of the leaves aren’t made from chlorophyll |
| D．maples and oaks have the same reason as other trees for the change of colours |
