Many parents like twins(双胞胎) a lot. For many years, people think that twins have a secret language. A lot of parents of twins say that their children have a secret way of talking to each other by using some words they don't understand. "The twin language" was very special in people's minds for a long time. However, a study shows that twins hardly have secret languages. So why do people think that?

When babies are learning to speak, they often make sounds and their parents don't understand them. For example, a child may call a bottle "baba". Since twins are learning the language at the same time, they often make the same mistakes. So, if one of the twins calls a bottle"baba", the other possibly starts to do the same. Soon, the twins are using the same inaccurate word. Parents may think of this as a secret language. In fact, the twins are learning new words like any other child.

A study shows that true secret languages don't happen very often. It happens because babies spend a lot of time alone and don't have many people talking around them.

Some studies show that it often takes longer for twins to begin speaking than for non-twin children. This could be because parents of twins can be busier than parents with just one baby, so they don't have much time to spend with their twin babies. Because twins understand each other's language mistakes, it may take them longer to learn words right.

As twins get older, like many non-twin children, they may make secret words for things they don't want their parents to understand!

(1)、What does the underlined word"inaccurate"in Paragraph 2 mean?
A、Wrong. B、Useful. C、Funny. D、Exciting.
(2)、When do the true secret languages happen?
A、When the babies want to talk with others. B、When the babies stay alone for a long time. C、When the babies feel sick and want some help. D、When the babies want more care and cry for it.
(3)、Which of the following ideas does the writer mention(提到)?
A、True secret languages happen very often. B、Twins' parents know the secret languages well. C、Twins never make the same mistakes in learning languages. D、People believe that it takes twins longer to learn words right.
(4)、What is the passage about?
A、Twins' hobbies. B、Twins' health. C、Twins' eating habits. D、Twins' secret languages.

Nowadays more and more people prefer to go fishing or hiking in the woods. Experiencing nature is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, but when you're doing this, always keep yourself safe. It's important to remember several basic rules if you don't want to turn a pleasant outing into a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

First, be fully prepared for different weather. Before you set out, always get warm clothes and raincoats ready, just in case! This is especially true in the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of travelling in the mountain areas. The weather is really {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in high mountains. Sometimes you can experience two or three seasons in one day.

A. appear    B. heavily     C. nearby      D. pack      E. probably

Second, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a map, a compass, and a flashlight in your bag. Even experienced travelers get lost. Before you start your trip, study the map to get familiar with the area you are going to. The flashlight is important if you do get lost. Many trips that start out in daylight will {#blank#}6{#/blank#} become nighttime adventures when people can't find their way.

Third, bring a first-aid kit and know how to use it. Small cuts can be more serious when there is no doctor {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

Finally, tell people where you are going and when you plan to come back. That way, someone will go search for you if troubles {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. This will increase your chance of being found quickly.

Billy always loved blueberries. They were his favorite fruit. Today he was going to make juice with his uncle. His uncle liked to make juice out of everything. He made carrot juice, apple juice, vegetable juice, and more juices. He had never made blueberry juice before though!

First, Billy and his uncle went to a blueberry farm. They were each given a basket. They picked for an hour and got several pounds. It was hard work picking the little berries from the trees. Now Billy understood why they were expensive in the store.

Next, they had to wash the fruit. Some of them still had leaves. Those had to be pulled off. Then the bad berries had to be thrown away. They washed the berries and made them air-dry.

After that, they pushed the blueberries through a strainer (过滤器). The strainer caught most of the seeds and skins, and only left a small glass of dark purple juice to them.

When they tasted the juice, it wasn't very sweet. Billy's uncle didn't want to add white sugar (糖) to the juice. It was better to use a naturally sweet juice, like apple juice, pear juice, or grape juice. They use grape juice as a sweetener, because grapes had a similar color to the blueberries.

Finally, they could drink it. It was a lot of work to make juice, but it sure was refreshing!

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

 How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?

 Shyness means feeling worried or afraid when you' re around other people. Experts(专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention(注意). Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences(经历).

It's OK if it takes you a minute to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It's just a problem of how much.

 Most people have red faces and talk in broken language when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they hardly go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

 If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn't a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.

 You see, being shy isn't all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There's nothing to be afraid of.
