 第一节阅读以下材料,然后从下面方框中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出符合各部分信息的句子(其中一项为多余选项),完成第66~68题。

EMERGENCY? WHAT EMERGENCY?

An emergency service (紧急服务) should be like that: a service that you phone in an emergency. You might need to call the police if you're in a car accident. But some people phone the emergency services for some unimportant reasons (原因). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Here are some examples we heard about from emergencycentres all over the world.

1 'I ordered food from a Chinese takeaway and it didn't come. I'm so hungry! Can you tell them to hurry up, please?'

2 'My children are making such a loud noise and I can't think about things. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

3 There's a black cat in my garden. Black cats are such unlucky animals. Can someone please come and take it away?'

These calls are funny to read about, but they can have very serious consequences (后果) . 'Every call takes about a minute,' said one man who works in emergency services. 'Maybe that doesn't sound a very long time, but in that one minute, other people are calling who really have an emergency. And for them, a minute might be really important.'

So let's get really serious: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} And of course, remember that you should never phone them with information that's untrue!

A. And it's hard to believe these calls are real!

B. THINK before you call the emergency services.

C. Can you give me his telephone number?

D. Can you come and take them away, please?

第二节请结合第一节内容,回答下面的问题。

When can we call the emergency services? {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

①How do you feel when you make a mistake? No one likes making mistakes. It often makes you feel unhappy. However, the feeling you get after making a mistake helps your brain adjust (调整) itself and learn. For example, you can't learn how to ride a bike without falling off it, or make friends without sometimes saying things you regret. Getting things wrong helps us adjust ourselves, so we can do things differently.

②____. Accepting and learning from our mistakes gives us the courage to try harder next time. Psychologists (心理学家) at Michigan State University call this a "growth mindset". A growth mindset means you see failure as something you can learn from, instead of something you regret. Elsie, 13, said it was hard to accept mistakes but they made her a better learner. "I once made a cake that came out like two big biscuits. I was upset but I realized I hadn't read the cookbook properly. Now I always read the cookbook twice."

③Alexandra Eidens from a magazine for kids said we should be open to mistakes because learning from them can help us believe in ourselves and face difficulties bravely. Try talking about one of our mistakes with family or friends. Whether the experience is funny or painful, sharing the story with others will help make it clear how the mistake happened. Eidens also suggests writing down our mistakes. She believes it gives us a chance of self-expression, creativity and learning. It's also a good way for us to learn from our mistakes.
