Friendship isn't always easy—but it is always important. These children's books
about friendship focus on the strength we get from our friends, the laughs we share
along the way, and the importance of building lifelong bonds.

different color every day. Eventually the bird discovers the secret—the lion uses his
luxurious tail as a brush to paint in his cave.
Friends: Percy the Pig,Johnny Mouse and Charlie Rooster are the main characters
in this tale about friendship.The three inseparable friends enjoy a fun-filled day together,

As mountains go,1642-foot Squaw Peak isn't particularly impressive.But its inviting
views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers into becoming relaxed among its
steep，slippery cliffs,resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.
Henry Grant respected Squaw Peak 's record.As such, he stayed a good ten feet
from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up with him. He watched a hiker ,
around 60 and dressed in pink, was peeking over the lip of the cliff with her husband.
When Grant's mother rejoined him, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, a
man yelled anxiously, "Paula! Paula!"Grant wheeled around. The woman in pink had
fallen off the side of the mountain.
Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was blocked by
trees. Grant decided to lend a hand. After 15 minutes of climbing over stones and
pushing through the bushes,Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet above him. She was
trapped in a small rocky extension. The woman had fallen about 75 feet.Amazingly, she
was alive.
Grant called 911.He waited where he was for a while, but she kept trying to move,
and every time she moved, she slipped a little more.Afraid that she might fall off the
extension to her death.Grant crawled on all fours until he reached Paula. Securing
himself against a tree, Grant gently put her hand in his and tried to keep her mind off
the pain by asking her some questions: "Where are you from? What do you do for a
living? Do you have kids?”About 45 minutes later, first responders arrived on the
summit.Eventually, Paula and her husband were flown by helicopter to a hospita1.

As a classic love movie of the twentieth century，Titanic makes one scene a long
lasting cinematic shot. Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy seawater, leaving the
chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on wooden door debris(残骸).
More than 100 years since the disastrous event and more than two decades after the
earliest release of the movie Titanic, there have been many“door theories".Audiences
debate heatedly over whether or not Jack and Rose could have both fit onto the wooden
debris and survived.So, was there room for Jack?
In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an exact
replica(仿制品)of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved that if they had
tied Rose's life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen its buoyancy(浮力), they
would have managed to stay afloat.
However, their conclusion was debunked when director Cameron said that the
freezing water and Jack 's high temperature would have made the life jacket solution
impossible.He also said that the debate is beyond the point the movie is trying to make,
which is focused on the tragic love story of Jack and Rose, not physics.
The largest debris recovered from the real Titanic is now displayed in the Maritime
Museum.The museum 's website states that a replica was once built for the movie basedon the museum's Titanic collection which is known as the“door"used in the death
scene.Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled with the weight of Rose on top could
work, but not if Jack's additional weight was added to it.
In a word, science has proven that Jack didn't die for nothing and did indeed
sacrifice himself to save the love of his life.
28. What 's the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A.To highlight characters.
B.To introduce a movie.
C.To raise a question.
D.To lead in the topic.
29. What is the conclusion of Jamie and Adam based on?
A. A physics experiment.
B. The development of the plot.
C. The theme of the movie.
D.A heated debate.
30. What does the underlined word"debunked”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Confirmed.
B. Approved.
C. Opposed.
D.Concerned.
31. Which word can be used to describe the ending of the movie?
A.Unrealistic.
B.Reasonable.
C. Confusing.
D.Surprising.

For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will
be essentia1.Now, scientists have taken “one small step”towards growing plants on the
lunar surface, after showing it 's possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant,in
lunar soil.
The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future
space missions,and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. "For future, longerspace missions,we may use the moon as a launching platform," explained Professor Rob
Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that 's already there to grow
plants."Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil.“So, what happens when
you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we
have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned.
To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress
seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The
researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully
mapped.
For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils,including
those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all
of the seeds grew.However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the
lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar
soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.
Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr
Stephen Elardo."The moon is a very, very dry place," he said."How will minerals in the
lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients?
Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants?”The researchers hope to answer
these questions in follow-up studies.
32. What's the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The significance of the findings.
B.The plants grown in the lunar soil.
C. The missions of future space exploration.
D. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement.
33. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment?
A. Its genes are suitable for lunar soil.
B. It has a long evolutionary history.
C. It has been tested with lunar soil before.
D. People have a good knowledge of its genes.
34.What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soi1?A. They absorbed few nutrients.
B. They didn't grow well enough.
C.They grew slowly in the dark.
D. They needed more water to grow bigger.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil
B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil
C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon
D.Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil

So often we find ourselves on autopilot--waking up in the same home, putting on
the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same old job. 36 And
while it's perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there 's much to be discovered
beyond the limits of our comfort zones.
A man aged 53 is no exception. 37 He knew it was going to be hard to find
another job.He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning
his own restaurant.But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do
any labor work.
38 He didn't want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for
himself. Also,Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a
perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and
without the disturbance of children.
39 Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home--an existing cafe
that was under performing and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his
lease(租约). 40 But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this
day.He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name
to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive.Eighteen years later, they're still there and doing
better than ever. Brian says he's extremely grateful for the decision to make a change.
A. Then came the opportunity.
B. That was exactly what Brian needed.C. The thought filled him with anxiety.
D.Even our New Year's decisions to change hardly make it.
E.Several weeks after consideration, he decided to have a change.
F.With the support of his family, he took a job in the local cafe.
G. Brian Mockenhaupt got laid off from a senior management position.

Arshad had been out window shopping with his parents.That was all they did these
days because they didn't have enough money to afford all the shiny clothes,shoes and
other fancy items the windows displayed.Even from a distance, they looked so promising
and inviting that one couldn't help but go over and look at them.
Ever since Arshad's father lost his business，Arshad's family barely had the money
to make ends meet. They even had to move to a rented house，which was smaller and
was situated in the shabbier part of the city.Unlike his previous house, where he had a
big luxurious room all to himself,here Arshad had to share his room and bed with his
naughty younger brother who always had the room in a horrible mess.
What was worse, the playground in this neighborhood was nothing like the one in
his previous neighborhood's; swings were all broken and the seesaw(跷跷板) only had
one seat. There weren't even any bookshops nearby where he could spend his free time.That day,Arshad and his brother were terribly bored when their father decided to
take them outfor window shopping. When his father saw the sad look on Arshad's face,
he sat down next to him and said,"Remember, there are children out there who don't
even have the things you do, like warm clothes, a roof over their heads, good education
and all the delicious meals that your mother prepares for you, three times a day. You
should always be grateful for what you have.”
