    Today is a sunny day. It is August 5th. It is Judy's birthday.

    When she comes back home from school, she sees a blue card on the table. It says, "There's a present (礼物) for you, Judy. Look for it in your bedroom."

    Judy runs into her bedroom Her parents are looking at her and smiling (微笑). On the chair she sees a red box. She thinks her present must be in it. She opens it and there is a yellow card in it. It reads "dear Judy, I'm your present. My first letter (字母)is in the word 'bag' , but not in 'age' My second letter is in 'like', but not in 'mow' My third letter is in 'know', but not in 'now'. And you can find my last letter in both desk' and 'get'. What am I?"

    Judy thinks for about two minutes and says, "Aha, I know. But where is it?" Her father tells her it is in the yard (院子).

根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。

    In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best ones show a monkey smiling toothily for the camera. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Nobody knew they would create a copyright (版权) battle three years later.

    Last month, a website put the monkey selfies online under a collection d free photos without Slater's permission (允许). {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    However, the website refused to do so. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    They said, "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source can't ask for copyright. That means monkeys don't own copyright. "

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} He said he bought the cameras; he spent a lot of money traveling to Indonesia, and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away.  All these have made him own the pictures, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense, the monkeys helped him take the photos, Slater said.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Who do you think will win this interesting battle?

A. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.

B. As of now, there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case.

C. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.

D. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.

E. Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera.

    Have you ever heard of the story The Ant and the Grasshopper(蚱蜢) ?

    One fine winter day some ants were working in the field. They were very busy. Just then a grasshopper passed by." Good day, kind ants," said the grasshopper, "I am very hungry. Will you lend me a little food? I have nothing to eat. I will pay you before the next autumn."

    "You have no food of your own? Why didn't you gather any food during the summer? You know there was much food in the field last summer. What were you doing then?" asked an old ant. The grasshopper answered, "I was singing all day and night during the summer. So I had no time to gather any food. Please lend me some." "Well, then, "said the ant, "you could sing all the summer, and you also could dance all the winter. You only played and did not work during the summer. We'll never lend you any food." And the ants went on working.

    Last year, I did not like my English class. ⑴Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. ⑵I was afraid to ask questions, because my pronunciation was poor. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.

    Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. ⑶我爱上了这部激动人心又有趣的电影。So I began to watch other English movies. I discovered that listening to interesting conversations is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like "It's a piece of cake" and "It serves you right". ⑷I didn't understand these sentences at first. Then I looked them up in a dictionary. ⑸现在我非常喜欢我的英语课。
