    “Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.

    Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!”

    But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”

    After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.

    Luckily, Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.

    “Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons' rooms.

    “Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother's arms.

    “It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny. And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day.”

    Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.”

(1)、Who rowed Maggie to land safely?

A、Rover. B、Old Dan. C、Old Dan's sons. D、Andrew.
(2)、What we can guess from the end of the story?

A、Maggie refused to be Rover's new master. B、Rover felt sad about Mrs. Western's death. C、Rover lived with Old Dan until his master died. D、Maggie became Rover's master at once after she was saved.
(3)、What can we learn from the passage?

A、One kind act brings another. B、You should act and speak the same kindly. C、One person's pleasure may be another's pain. D、People often forget what is really important in our lives.
(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A、Rover and his master B、Rover's new friend C、What the brave dog did D、What Maggie's penny did

Have you ever heard of a rattlesnake? It is a poisonous (有毒的) American snake.When it is angry or afraid, it makes a noise like a rattle with its tail. It's very scary. But Heather Ramirez and her husband, from California, in the UnitedStates, make a living in an unusual way. They are self-employed (自雇的) snake catchers!They catch snakes, especially rattlesnakes which have gone indoors, and returnthem to the wild.

    Heather describes her work as “protecting people from rattlesnakes — andprotecting rattlesnakes from people!” In the area where they live, rattlesnakesoften come face to face with people. They are found in stores, offices, housesand gardens. Heather explains that it's not the snakes that are moving into places where people live, but it's the other way round. The snakes lived in these places first and then the people built houses.

Most people who see a rattlesnake are feared. If you keep your distance,however, the snake won't bite (咬) you. In twelve years as a snake catcher, Heather has nevertouched a snake. She doesn't take the risk. She picks up the snakes with aspecial tool. This doesn't hurt them,but it keeps them at a safe distance so that they can't bite her.

    Heather and her husband are very busy because they are never off duty.Catching snakes is a full-time job and they don't often have a day off. Peoplecan get to them at any time of the day or night. Not everyone can do this job,but Heather doesn't want to do anything else. “I just love my job,” she says.

Dear future Linda (or rather myself),

I hope when you read this letter you don't find my writing too messy! At the moment, I'm 15 years old and living at home with my family. I love school and have lots of good friends. We do lots of fun things together like parties, ice skating and swimming. My biggest worry is not doing well in my school exams, but I'm working really hard, so hopefully I have nothing to worry about.

There's so much I (you!) want to do. I hope you've traveled all over the world, seen lots of things and met lots of people. I hope you've visited the Great Wall in China and the pyramids in Egypt, shopped in New York City and in Paris, and seen polar bears in Norway and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, I've just remembered, you always wanted to see elephants in India—I hope you've managed to do that, too.

I promise myself I'll always try my best and have no regrets. I never want to forget where every step of my life has taken me. Already it seems as if so much has happened. I've moved from primary to junior middle school (about to graduate), been taught to swim and dance (I love ballet dancing), learned to speak Chinese and French, and raised money for those in need by selling old toys and books.

I really hope you're happy. I hope you have a successful career that you enjoy doing and look forward to each morning when you wake up. I hope you're surrounded by good friends and family and maybe also have a family of your own. More than anything else, I hope you've enjoyed every single moment so far!

 阅读下面的材料, 从每题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

Harbin is the capital (首都) city of Heilongjiang. Many people like Harbin because of its winter tourism (旅游). Last winter, people talked a lot about Harbin on the Internet.

To make visitors feel welcome, Harbin did a lot of things. At the airport (机场), there were shows to watch. And visitors could get warm clothes to wear in dressing rooms. Local (当地的) people also helped a lot. When they were not busy, they went out to give free rides to visitors. When some tourists couldn't find hotels, the local government (政府) let visitors stay in their service center at a low price.

Many of the tourists were from southern China. It doesn't snow very often there. They dressed themselves like potatoes and many of them are shorter than the people in Heilongjiang. So the local people called them "southern little potatoes". The nickname (绰号) quickly became popular on the Internet. The tourists liked the nickname and shared their warm experiences of Harbin. A girl left a note at the hotel, saying, "This southern little potato is leaving. Harbin is so beautiful. The people are so friendly. I can't wait to come back again. Yours, southern little potato." After people saw this note online, "the southern little potato is leaving" became a hot topic, and more and more people shared their trips.

Come to Harbin and experience the wonder of ice and snow this winter!
