At 2 a.m., my dad woke me up and said ,"There's a storm coming. We have to go to the basement(地下室）." I got up quickly. "Lin, find the candles, please!" my mom said."...And Chen, bring bottles of water from the kitchen." She said to my brother . "... and Huan, don't forget the radio," she continued.

Dad asked us not to be worried. Then he told us to go down to the basement. The four of us went down to the basement and only a few minutes later we heard the storm. The noise was huge. We could hear the wind breaking glass and other terrible sounds. I remember we just hugged each other all night. I don't want to live through that again. The storm died out the next day. Our house was completely broken down. But we were happy because we were alive.

At school I have a good friend. He is an English boy. His name is Tom. He is twelve. We are in No. 10 Middle School. We're not in the same class. He is in Class 4, Grade 1. I'm in Class 2, Grade 1. Tom's sister is not a student. Her name is Jane. She is five. She is a nice girl.
Miss Gao is my English teacher. She is thirty. Mr Wang is Tom's Chinese teacher. He is thirty, too. They're good teachers.
根据短文内容, 判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。

I didn't think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye（吸引我的世界）. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought（尽管） he's homeless?”I asked.
“He bought it," she replied. I was still unable to understand.
“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too.”
The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized（意识到）that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to look forward to.
Since then I've never gone a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What's often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.

One day, Jack's parents told him that his grandpa would retire(退休) after working for forty years. Jack said in surprise, “I'm only seven, so it means Grandpa has been…er…. A really long time!” His parents said, “Yes. That's why we are going to have a surprise party for him.”
Jack loved his Grandpa and wanted to do something special for him. He remembered the business card his grandpa had given him two years before. He knew that his grandpa would no longer have the position (职位) on that card, so he decided to make a new one for his grandpa.
When the big day came, Jack was ready. But he didn't want to put his gift together with others. He carried it around with him the whole evening. When all the other people left, he took his grandpa's hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift. His grandpa smiled, “Well, it must be a beautiful gift. May I open it now?” “Sure!” Jack said excitedly.
As Grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. Jack gave him the greatest gift he had ever got! They were business cards with his new position:________! Jack said, “Now your full-time job is my grandpa!”
“Well, how much do I get paid?” his grandpa asked, smiling. “As many hugs(拥抱) as you want!” With these words, Jack gave Grandpa a hug. “Well, I guess that means I'm the richest man in the world!” said Grandpa.

SCENE I

One dollar a week

The doorway of the house where Chandler has a room. He is dressed in his best clothes, ready for his evening out. He is going out as his friend, Jeff White, comes in.

WHITE What are you doing this evening, Towers?

CHANDLER (Smiling) Tonight I'm going to live like a man with a million dollars!

WHITE What are you talking about? You haven't got a million dollars!

CHANDLER How much money are you and I paid each week, Jeff?

WHITE Eighteen dollars. Why?

CHANDLER And how much of that eighteen dollars do you spend each week?

WHITE All of it, of course.

CHANDLER Well, I don't. Each week I save one dollar out of my eighteen. Then, every ten weeks, I can buy myself an evening to remember.

WHITE What do you do?

CHANDLER I put on my finest clothes, go to one of the best restaurants in New York, eat the most expensive food on the menu, drink the best wine, and then take a taxi home!

WHITE (Surprising) Why?

CHANDLER Why? Because it makes me feel wonderful to sit with some of the richest people in America, and to make them think that I'm rich, too.

WHITE You're crazy!

CHANDLER (Laughing) Perhaps I am!

Mrs Black comes in.

MRS BLACK Ah, Mr Chandler. I wanted to see you.

CHANDLER Good evening, Mrs Black. What a lovely evening!

MRS BLACK Lovely evening perhaps, but you haven't paid me for your room this month. When am I going to get the money?

CHANDLER Soon, Mrs. Black. Very soon.

Mrs Black looks at Chandler's clothes.

MRS BLACK You can spend money on expensive clothes, but you can't pay for your room. Is that right?

CHANDLER (Hurrying away) Good night, Mrs Black!

阅读下面短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Somebody says that it is raining cats and dogs. We know it means it is raining heavily. Here you can know why people say like this.

There are many large rats (老鼠) in a country. People need cats. But there are many mountains in the country. It's hard for a plane to land. So the cats come down by parachute (降落伞). In another country, the people need dogs to help people to find the people in the snow. Where can they get them? You can guess. The dogs come down by parachute. Both cats and dogs are coming down by parachute, just like the raindrops coming from the sky. So there is the saying "It is raining cats and dogs".

These cats and dogs help the people. And the people often say it rains cats and dogs. This kind of old saying is very interesting.
