September is usually the start of a new season-but what you call that season depends on where you are and whom you ask. In the UK, people will tell you it's "autumn". However, cross the Atlantic and you'll find that people use "fall" and "autumn" when talking about this time of year. In the English language, the season has two widely accepted names. Why does it have to be so confusing(令人迷惑的)?

Before either of the two words appeared in the dictionary, the seasons dividing the cold and warm months didn't have common names. The main thing people did during the pre-winter time was gathering crops, so it was called "harvest" in Old English.

Then, in the 1600s, more and more people left farms and moved into cities. Without farming, the word "harvest" became less useful to people in cities. Some English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during that season, so people called the season "the fall of the leaf". or "fall" for short. But by the end of the 1600s, "autumn", from the French word "autompne" and the Latin word "autumnus", was introduced in England and took the place of the word "fall" as the expression for the harvesting season.

At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. Today, using both words to describe the season is a very American thing.

（1）、Which is the best word to describe the feeling when "fall" and "autumn" are used in the English language?

A、Amazing. B、Confusing. C、Surprising. D、Interesting.

（2）、Which of the following is true about "autumn"?

A、It is a French word. B、It is widely used by farmers. C、It means leaves falling. D、It appears later than "fall".

（3）、Why was the word "fall" created?

A、Because during that season, people are busy collecting fallen leaves. B、Because during that season, people are busy moving to the cities C、Because during that season, leaves fall from the trees D、Because it is easier to be remembered than "autumn".

I was happy because I worked short days today in the animal hospital. The worker opened the door at 9 am. She also made everyone a cup of tea or coffee. We fed the animals. About 10 am, pet owners(宠物主人) started to arrive with their sick pets. My assistant(助手) examined(检查) them. I was busy doing the paperwork . I used about two hours to have lunch and finished all my paperwork.

At 2 pm, I started to see new sick animals. At 5 pm, three students from a nearby school came to help out. They are very kind and warm—hearted. From 5 pm to 7 pm, I still saw sick animals.

At 7 pm, we closed our doors. We fed and cleaned the animals. Then, we turned off the lights and went home. It was a really meaningful day.

Reading comprehension

Friends are part of our lives. In my life, I have a best friend who means a lot to me. My life would be less colorful without her. Although we always have arguments, we still treat each other as best friend.

We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. I guessed that she was a gentle (温和的) girl. And she really was. She often took good care of me. When I was in trouble, she always stood by me and made me feel better.

This winter holiday, we went to the amusement park (游乐园) Happy Valley together. We had a great time together on the roller coaster (过山车). We held each other's hands and shouted in a loud voice when we were riding the roller coaster. We were so excited. The ride made me feel a little sick, so she bought a bottle of water for me. This experience left me with a lot of good memories and made our friendship stronger.

Many adults think that children can't be friends forever. But I don't think so. Maybe we can't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the good memories she has given me.

Complete the summary of the passage above with only one word for each blank.

A marathon is a long running race of 42.195kilometres. The first Olympic Marathon was held in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the well-known marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon. Among them, the Boston Marathon is the oldest yearly Marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.

Themes(主题) make marathons fun and meaning. Runners run for helping sick kids, memorizing important events, or just enjoying nature. A famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they run along the golden sandy beaches.

Marathon routes(线路) let people know more about this old sport. Some routes are very challenging for runners. Runners of all skill levels can sweat(流汗) freely and push their limits(极限). Some routes are well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. In fact, it's also a chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local culture.

A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.
