    In ancient China, a woman told the best stories. She married an emperor(皇帝).Sadly, one day, this woman became ill and died. Everyone thought the emperor would soon find another favourite among his wives, but the emperor was very sad. He spent more and more time in his garden, and less and less time caring for the needs of his people. Everyone in the kingdom was worried.

    One day, a priest(牧师)passed when some children were playing with their dolls. The dolls made dancing shadows on the wall. This gave the priest an idea. He knew the stories the emperor's wife used to tell. What if he could bring those stories to life?

    The priest made a puppet(木偶)out of bits of clay(黏土).He painted the puppet to look somewhat like the emperor's wife. When the puppet was finished, the priest silently walked into the emperor's garden, carrying his puppet, a candle and a curtain. He placed the curtain near the emperor's chair. He placed his candle, his puppet and himself behind the curtain. He waited for the emperor to appear.

    The emperor did not even notice the curtain at first. The dancing shadow drew his eyes. As the priest moved the puppet behind the curtain, he told wonderful stories as the emperor's wife. It seemed as if his wife had been spending time with him. The emperor was no longer sad. At the end of each busy day, the emperor went into his garden to visit his shadow wife and hear her stories once again. That is how shadow puppets first began.

(1)、Why did everyone in the kingdom feel worried?
A、Because the emperor was too sad to care about his country. B、Because the emperor couldn't hear the stories any more. C、Because the emperor's wife died. D、Because the emperor always stayed in his garden.
(2)、How did the priest get a good idea?
A、From the curtain. B、From the wall. C、From the shadow of dolls. D、From the dance.
(3)、What did the priest do to make the emperor NOT sad?
A、He played the puppet to draw the emperor's attention. B、He told the stories that the emperor's wife had told by playing the puppet. C、He could tell wonderful stories like the emperor's wife. D、He could tell more wonderful stories than the emperor's wife.
(4)、Which of the following is NOT needed to play a shadow puppet?
A、The priest. B、The candle. C、The curtain. D、The clay.

      Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from?  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}    .
I'm Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. It's even better if someone else tells you that you're good at something, too. When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don't listen, I sometimes feel sad.  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}   .
       I'm Jeff. Respect from my family and friends makes me feel the best. I don't care if I'm the best football player, or I don't get the highest grade on a test, or don't succeed at everything I do.    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}   . If someone says something unkind about you, you don't mind that much because you know they're wrong—that means you have self-confidence.
    I'm Sue. I really feel good when my mum gives me a hug and says,“Have a nice day!”before I leave the house. Also, one day in a store I asked a salesman where to find something, and to my surprise, he said,“You have a beautiful smile.” For the rest of the day I was happy. These kinds of things have to come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.

 阅读下面短文,理解其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

I usually find a seat and start reading or sending messages to my friends. Like everyone else, I try not to look at or talk to any people on the train. Then, twenty 1 later, I get off. In fact, my home trip is 2 special. 

But last Tuesday was quite different. I was looking out of the window3 the train suddenly stopped. After five minutes, I found people starting to get a bit 4 . Fifteen minutes later, the announcement(公告) 5 , "Dear passengers, we are sorry we have to 6 two more hours. A train just broke down in front of us. "

There was a loud sigh throughout the train, but soon something 7 happened: All strangers(陌生人) started talking to each other. At first, everyone 8 complained(抱怨) about the trains. Then people started talking about something else. I also began talking to a man 9 work. After that, I walked down the train and 10 to meet a woman who had been a student learning medicine at my school before. 

A young woman took her guitar and soon the people around her were singing along. When enjoying the 11 , we heard a boy crying for help, and the woman from my school jumped into 12 , We found she was a doctor, and when she came back, we 13 her as a hero. 

Then, after two hours, we started 14 again. "Hooray!" Everyone got excited and laughed. 

I took the train again on Wednesday, but 15 of my new "friends" were there. Although people were good, they weren't as friendly as the people the day before. I'll never forget the special experience that day.
