Harry and Annie lived far from town but they went there to school every day. On their way to school, there
was a pond (池塘). In winter when the ice was thick and hard, they walked across the pond. But their mother did not
like them to do this because it could be dangerous. “Don’t go across the pond today.” She said while she was kissing
them goodbye one morning. “It is beginning to thaw (解冻).”
“All right, mother,” said Harry, not very happily because he enjoyed running and sliding (滑动) on the ice.
When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe. Harry said to his sister. “I knew it didn’t thaw at all.
Mother is always afraid we will drown (淹死). Come on, let’s have a good time sliding. The school bell will not
ring for an hour.”
,
“But you promised mother ” said Annie.
“No, I didn’t. I only said. ‘All right,’ and it is all right.”

himself, but poor Annie almost drowned before the man could reach her.

Some people have fun collecting rocks. Collecting rocks is easy — you just pick up a rock! But here are a few
ideas to get you started on your rock collection.
Which rocks to collect
You can collect rocks according to color, shape, quality or anything that you find interesting. Many rock collectors
try to collect all the connected rocks from the area where they live. Others look for unusual rocks from places they
visit.
Where to find rocks
Your rock collection can start with rocks you find in your own backyard(后院) or neighborhood. Look for rocks
in river beds or areas of erosion (侵蚀) where you can often find unusual rocks. Interesting rocks can also be found
in places where humans have cut into the earth, like road cuts and construction sites(建筑工地).
Cleaning and showing your rocks
As you collect rocks, it’s a good idea to keep a record of when and where you found it. You can make a sign
with a piece of tape and put it to your rock. Record the fact of your find in a field notebook. You can put rocks into
egg boxes or shoe boxes. If you want to show your rocks, try an artistic(有美感的) glass bottle.
How to find more information
Many cities have rock clubs that offer useful classes. Local rock shows also offer helpful information about
rocks and you can buy or sell rocks there. What’s more, many natural history museums have exhibitions where you
can know more about rocks.
31. What is the writer’s main purpose(目的) in writing this passage?

四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)
Mom and dad — they are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them
every day and, over your lifetime, they influence you more than anyone else you meet.
Moms and dads need to care for their kids from the minute they’re born. It’s a parent’s job to love and help kids
— and most parents will do this as possible as they can, even when the ‘‘kids’’ grow up and have children of their
own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship (关系):
Spend time together. Don’t play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play
with you, go outside together, play a game, or read a book out loudly. Try to spend more time together.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re
unhappy. So if you’re sad or have a problem, tell your parents and ask for help. They’ll be happy to help you.
Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom and dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a
hug, a card or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It’s important to show
that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting (尊重) each other, and being caring,
polite and thoughtful.
Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your
parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know
you’re doing a good job.
34. Who are the most important people in kids’ life?
______________________________________________________________
35. What can kids do if they are sad or have a problem?
______________________________________________________________
36. How do kids and parents show their love?
______________________________________________________________
37. What do kids’ parents feel when they do their best?
______________________________________________________________
38. What does the passage mainly talk about?
______________________________________________________________
