When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that you have been very lucky if you see one, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!
54. Which thing is said to be the oldest good luck tradition?
A. A falling leaf. B. A foot of a rabbit.
C. A shooting star. D. A wish from friends.
55. According to Paragraph 3, we know that ______.
A. people can see a shooting star on a rainy night.
B. shooting stars can often be seen by people
C. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star.
D. your wish may come true if you see a shooting star.
56. British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.
A. the leaves fall in autumn.
B. there are so many leaves to catch.
C. they want to have a whole year of good luck.
D. the leaves can bring them a lucky month.
57. In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to (指) ______.
A. leaves B. people C. trees D. years
C
Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.
The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?”
This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!
The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher. But I’m shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?”
When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.
The third question is about vocabulary. Olive, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”
Try to remember eight or nine words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day. And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?
58. How many basic questions do the students often ask?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
59. What should you do if you are shy to speak English?
A. Watch English films. B. Write down the words first.
C. Listen to real English songs. D. Take a deep breath and smile before you begin.
60. What is Oliver’s problem?
A. He’s too shy to talk with others. B. He’s not able to count English words.
C. He can’t remember new words. D. He doesn’t know what real English is.
61. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. How to learn English B. Talking about English films
C.Advice about English writing D.The way of beginning an English conversation
D
There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量，品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.
62. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
A. Because they were born there.
B. Because it was a better educational town.
C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.
D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
63. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
A. About 80. B. About 160. C. About 220. D. About 300.
. What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. None of B. The whole of C. A large number of D. A small number of
65. Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
A. Because he regards it as his hometown. B. Because his parents got new jobs there.
C. Because there are many Asians there. D. Because it is in the state of New Jersey.

Since then, WCS Wildlife Health Sciences Division has become a world leader in the field.

International（国际的）Conservation
Humans now live on most parts of the earth. People must carefully consider （思考）how to best use the few untouched areas that are left on Earth. They must specially consider endangered animals. The WCS land conservation program centers on these areas
Education
The “Living Landscapes ” program is just one way that WCS helps to protect endangered animals.
It provides parks with a safe environment for endangered animals. However, animals don’t know where these parks end. Therefore, the Living Landscapes Program helps to educate local people how to treat the animals outside of the park area.
City Wildlife Parks
Since 1985, the main WCS office has been in the largest park in New York. School children visit city parks every day of the week to learn about conservation. Several programs are available in the park system , including family events , discovery centers where people can experience the wildlife, and wildlife theatres. These programs change people’s attitudes（态度） toward nature and help people imagine wildlife and humans living in harmony（和谐）.

One possible version:
Dear Mr. Tao,
As we all know, we will celebrate the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Yangzhou City this year.
As a middle school student, I would like to be a volunteer. I want to be a volunteer because I like sports very much. I think it very important for me to do something for the celebration.
I’m a Grade 9 student in Yangzhou now. My favorite subjects are English and History. I am very interested in swimming and skating. I also like singing and dancing.
I am good at English, so I can help foreigners when they are in need; I know Yangzhou very well, so I can show them around Yangzhou and tell them more about my hometown.
I will be happy if you can give me a chance to be a volunteer. I am looking forward to getting your news.
Yours sincerely
