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. Why didn't the writer talk to anyone in her new school about her problems？
| A．Because she was always unhappy. |
| B．Because she didn't know anyone at the time. |
| C．Because she was in the first year at the junior high school. |
| D．Because she didn't want her parents to worry about her. |
Where does she now think her feeling of unhappiness came from？
| A．From her old school. |
| B．From her parents. |
| C．From herself. |
| D．From her classmates at the new school. |
What’s the best title for the passage?
| A．A Surprising Gift | B．An Exciting Birthday Gift |
| C．An Important Gift—Smile | D．A Boring Gift |
| rest, flower, if, town, then, boat, place, enjoy, across, along |

Dear Peter,
Did you have a good time last summer?I did. I took a trip to Seattle with my brotherHenry. It took us two and a half hours to drive to Seattle from my home. We stayed in a big hotel near the beautiful beach. On the first day, we just stayed in the hotel and watched TV. On the second day, we wen tto a supermarket and bought our favorite things. There were lots of people there. I bought a T-shirt and a sweater. They were both white because I looked very cool in white. Henry bought a green backpack, and he liked green best. On the third day, we went to a zoo and saw many cute animals. I liked the pandas and koalas best. And I took many photos of them.
What about your summer vacation? Was it fun? Please write to me and tell me about it.
Yours, Jack
