Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the corridor (走廊). However,students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.
Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be generated ( 产生). After one year, the electricity generated from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing, isn’t it?
The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students can not only play on the corridor,but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other devices ( 设备) in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be creative. They will be inspired to be scientists, inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all humans.
The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are not Laurence’s only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which can be used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.
Why do the students in the passage enjoy running on the corridor tiles?
A. Because the corridor tiles are expensive.
B. Because the teachers ask them to do that.
C. Because the corridor was built with special tiles.
After one year, the electricity generated from the tiles can provide enough energy for _______.
A. over 800 mobile phones
B. all the lights of the school
C. an electric car to drive70 miles
The underlined word “inspired” most probably means “ _________”.
A. encouraged B. forced C. trained
What else has Laurence invented besides the corridor tiles from the passage?
A. A mobile phone.
B. A music player.
C. A special dance floor.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Students are not allowed to walk in the corridor.

Dear Merry,

Recently,I have trouble with my study.

In school I can't listen to teachers carefully because I always feel tired and sleepy.I don't spend time with friends after class either because I think it's a waste of time.I even miss writing some answers in the test.

At home,I can't get my homework done every night.My parents don't let me stay up.So

I have to get up early the next morning to finish it.Lately,I even get a bad headache.

How can I solve these problems?

Yours,

LiuYa

Dear Liu Ya,

When you have trouble listening to teachers carefully in class, you can ask your teachers or deskmate to remind you often.Then spending time talking about many different things with friends can make you happy.It's not a waste of time.As for homework,when it's hard to get finished,one thing you can try is setting goals for yourself.Ask your parents to help you.You must take a break,especially if you don't feel well.You might be surprised but a short break can help you get more done!Lastly,if you don't worry and have enough sleep,your headache will leave you.

Yours,

Merry

Teeth are very important for our health.They will be our lifelong fiends.So we should learn to protect them at a very young age.Here are some tips:

First,we should eat right.

*Don't eat too much candy or drink too much cola,or our teeth will go bad easily.

*Have more cheese,milk and yogurt to make teeth strong.

*Eat more vegetables and fruits to help clean teeth.

Second,we should keep these numbers in mind.

*2/Day Brush your teeth at least twice a day:in the morning and before bedtime.

*2﹣3 Minutes Brush for at least two to three minutes every time.

*3 Months Get a new toothbrush every three months.

*6 Months Go to the dentist every six months for a check﹣up.

71.We're too young,so we needn't start protecting our teeth.   

72.Cheese,milk and yogurt can keep our teeth strong.   

73.We shouldn't brush our teetlh after lunch.   

74.We can brush our teeth for only one minute each time.   

75.At least four toothbrushes should be used in a year.   

How can I become a better person? This question has been in my head for long. As students, we spend most of our time studying. I know learning at school, of course, makes us better persons, but I always dream of doing more.

Last year,I got to know a group of autistic ( 患自闭症的) children. We called them "the Snails (蜗牛)".It was hard to communicate with them at first, because they wouldn't like to. After a two﹣week training, I became more skilled. I got closer to them day by day. To my surprise, I found that every one of "the Snails" had his or her own talent. And their colorful pictures on the wall attracted my special attention, though it was difficult to tell what they were trying to express.

Moved by their pictures, I decided to hold a charity (慈善) sale. We walked on the busy street, selling their creative pictures. We sold 60 pictures that day. People thought their pictures were full of imagination.

Back to the question about how to become a better person, I think I am lucky enough to get my own answer.

(1)Do "the Snails" have their own talents?   

(2)How many pictures did they sell that day?   

(3)What is the writer's answer to the question "how to become a better person" ?   

(4)Do you think that selling pictures on the busy street is a very good way to help "the Snails" ?Why or why not?
