阅读理解

    It was last January, when I'd just finished a charity(慈善)and was on the train back home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.

    When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?

    To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity.

    February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play;….

    While wring the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating(欣赏)other people's lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.

    In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my "food" month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:

Dear. Julie,

    I've been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日). We talk about it every year.

    Thank you. We miss you.

Love,

Gina

    I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, "I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before. I'm going through a hard time right now, and this helps. "

    On December 31, I wrote my last card—to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude.

(1)、The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 mean___________.
A、writing thank-you notes B、putting the phone away C、taking the train back home D、raising money for charity
(2)、How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?

(3)、The theme of the December notes might be" ______________".
A、photos B、family C、holidays D、community
(4)、What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?
A、Many thanks from her neighbors. B、More time to appreciate her own life. C、More help from people around her. D、Happy moments to be with her friends.
(5)、The best title for the passage can be__________________.
A、My Thank You Year B、An Amazing Trip C、Happiness inside Us D、Important People in Our Life

From the world's heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world's smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world's strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).

The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it's always one of the bestselling books in the world.

People now can break over 1000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? "It gives people a chance to show they're the best in the world." said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.

The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world's truly greatest people and things in it!

The newest book came outlast Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:

☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world's smallest dog. It's only 76mm tall.

☆ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails(指甲).They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.

 语法填空

My grandparents lived in a small village near a hill. Before the summer vacation started, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(decide) to spend it with them. I never lived in the countryside before, so I knew nothing about{#blank#}2{#/blank#} life there.

When I lived with my grandparents, I was interested in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(learn) what life was like when my father was little. Then my grandmother told me about it and she also told me some funny stories about my father. My grandmother kept many chickens and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(duck). In the morning, they went out. I worried they wouldn't come back home, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}I finally knew that I didn't need to worry. They all came back home after some time.

One day, my grandmother took me to a market in the village. When we just got there, it started to rain. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(lucky), we took an umbrella. At the market, a woman sold hand- made clothes. They were not expensive, so I bought a skirt for {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(I) with my pocket money. The next day, we went to my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(grandfather) farm. I saw my grandfather feed the pigs and cows. He told me a lot of things about farming and I learned much {#blank#}9{#/blank#} him.

I lived in the countryside for over {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(first) month. It was an interesting trip for me.

B. 根据短文内容和所给中文提示,用单词的正确形式完成以下短文。每空只填一词。
