book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.
Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and

will probably find that your schoolwork becomes much better.

A new game is becoming popular with young people: people come together, choose to be “cats” or “mice”,
share locations (位置) on their phones and then play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) in a big outdoor space.
Once, I took part in the activity with Tom and another 30 people at the Olympic Forest Park. Most of usdidn’t know each other. The game had two rounds (轮). In the first round, five people were “cats” and the rest
were “mice”. With five minutes for “mice” to run and hide, the “cats” found them using the locations they shared
on a map app. The second round was a group match.
We played hide-and-seek when we were little. When I invited Tom, he wondered about the point of playing
this game as a grown-up. After playing the game, Tom said, “The use of GPS made this childhood game much
more fun. It was a creative way of bringing something new to old games with technology (科技). It is a good way
to meet new people and even make friends, too.”
For me, it’s good that playing in the park made me move as I’m not so interested in playing outside.
However, I would have more fun if the park weren’t so big. When I saw the “mice” were so far away from me, I
just wanted to give up. On the other hand, when it was difficult for me to be caught, I felt less excited.
1．What can we know about the new “hide-and-seek” game?

②Players know everyone’s location.

2．What can we know from paragraph 2?
A．“Mice” don’t have to run and hide.
B．People know each other before the game.
C．The number of “mice” is more than that of “cats”.
D．“Cats” and “mice” needn’t share their locations.
3．What does Tom think of the game?
A．The game is good for one’s health.
B．The game helps people meet old friends.
C．The use of GPS makes the game less fun.
D．The idea of using GPS in the game is creative.
4．What can we infer (推断)according to the last paragraph?
A．The writer hopes to play in a smaller park.
B．The writer loves doing outdoor activities.
C．The writer doesn’t want to be caught easily.
D．The writer will work together with other people.In China, there are many traditional games full of fun. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Cricket fighting
Cricket fighting (douququ) has a history of over 1000 years. It’s a game about the fight between crickets.
To play the game, people match two crickets together according to their size, weight, and color. Then they put
them into a small fighting place. They use a soft brush to let their crickets go at each other. Nowadays, there are
cricket-fighting clubs in some places.
Chinese yo-yo
Chinese yo-yo (kongzhu) is an hourglass-shaped (沙漏形状的) toy. It is made of wood or bamboo and
played with a string (绳子). The string connects two hand sticks (棍子). This fun game is popular in North China.
The players move the hand sticks up and down to let the toy go around. Some good players can even throw it up
in the air and then catch it on the string.
Shuttlecock
Shuttlecock (jianzi in Chinese) can go back to over 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. This traditional
Chinese game is very simple. It has only one rule: keep the shuttlecock in the air without using your hands.
Players try to kick as much as possible. Nowadays, not only students have shuttlecock lessons in some schools,
but old people also enjoy playing it to keep healthy.

On the way home from school, Sally walked with her friend Jun. Jun moved from South Korea to theUnited States two years earlier. Sally taught him some English phrases and showed him where to get the best
hamburgers. He helped her with her math homework and taught her how to use chopsticks.
“I really want to win the spelling bee,” Sally told Jun. “But I don’t think I can do it. I get nervous in
competitions, and I’m not the best speller! Ms. Charlton circled three or four spelling mistakes in my last story.”
“All you need to do is practice,” Jun said. “When I first came to the United States, I didn’t know any
English at all. But I made flashcards and studied every night. Now listen to me! I speak pretty well, right?”
“That’s true,” said Sally.
“We have one week until the competition (比赛). You have a chance,” Jun said, “but you’ll have to work
hard.”
Sally thought about it. She had hoped to spend the weekend playing with her friends, but a trophy (奖杯)

Sally woke up early on Saturday morning. She packed a sandwich and put her notebook and a pencil in her
bag. She found a word book and walked to the park. She put a blanket under an old tree. She took a bite of her
sandwich, drank some apple juice, and started studying. “Bagel,” Sally practised. “B-A-G-E-L. Raisin, R-A-I-S-I-
N. Dandelion, D-A-N-D．..” She frowned (皱眉) and checked her word book. “What a catastrophe!” she thought.
“C-A-T-A-S...” This was hard work!
1．Why did Sally teach Jun English phrases?

Watching TV is my hobby. I like watching TV very much in my free time, because I think it has many
advantages (优点).
First of all, watching TV can make us relaxed. After a day’s hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV
can make us not tired any more because of the wonderful music and TV plays.
Second, watching TV is entertaining (娱乐的). There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports
activities, performances, plays and movies in the world. It’s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the
activities within a short time. We need about seven hours or more to fly from New York to Paris. But within just
one second, the TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing the
channel (频道).
Most importantly, watching TV is educational. The children can learn different kinds of subjects through
the educational programs and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn
Russian from a Russian teacher in Moscow. We can even learn how to behave (表现) well from TV plays. At the
same time, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge (巨大的) classroom.
1．Which of the following is true according to the third paragraph?
A．The TV can bring different parts of the world before us.
B．It’s easy for us to go to every place within a short time.
C．A fashion show is more interesting than an NBA game.
D．More and more people prefer to go to Paris rather than New York.
2．According to the writer, what is the most important reason for watching TV?
A．We can enjoy ourselves. B．We can have a good rest.
C．We can see things we like. D．We can learn something useful.
3．What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指的是)?
A．Subjects. B．Programs. C．Channels. D．Children.
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The advantages of watching TV B．The TV brings us good rest
C．Today’s TV programs D．How to use the TV in schools
5．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage?A． B． C． D．
We enjoyed a show called Poetry Play in the School Poetry Week.
When we got to the hall, we saw a big box in the middle of the stage. A man was siting on it. After
everyone sat down, the man stood up. He started pulling up the sail on a ship. There was no ship or no sail. He
didn’t say a word. But we could completely understand what he was doing. Soon he was sailing on the sea and
speaking, “If I had a ship, I’d sail my ship.” He was reciting（背诵）a poem called The Island.
By then we knew the man on the stage was Peter Williams. He was going to give us a great show. Between
poems, he put his head inside the box and changed into a different role. First he was a silly guy with a red face and
a round nose. Then he turned into a walking gentleman with an umbrella. Next he was a cat gentleman wearing a
hat. With each change he used a different voice. Amazing! He became five different roles and recited more than
twenty poems in total.
His performance of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll was one of the best parts of the show. The poem is
difficult with new words. No one knows what they really mean. But when Peter Williams acted out the poem, it
became an exciting experience.
Peter Williams really showed how to read poems well: We should read poems out loud. We should all try to
learn some poems by heart. “Keep a poem in your pocket.” he left the words to us.
Today in our school, Peter Williams’ words come to life. In every room, the students are reading poems out
loud. Ask anyone of us what our favourite poem is. Then we will probably start reciting it!
The Poetry Play got School Poetry Week off to a wonderful start.
1．What did Peter do in the Poetry Play?
A．He sailed on a real ship.
B．He recited 20 poems with different gentlemen.
C．He acted out the difficult poem Jabberworky.
D．He kept the poem Jabberworky in his pocket.
2．In the passage, Peter Williams acted as the following roles except the person in Picture _______.A． B． C． D．
3．What can we infer from （推断） the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6?
A．The Poetry Play brought good changes. B．Students started reciting Peter’s words.
C．Students began to create more poems. D．The Poetry Play made our school famous.
4．What is the main purpose （目的） of the passage?
A．To tell us to have fun in a Poetry Play. B．To introduce a poetry show at school.
C．To show us different ways to recite poems. D．To provide ideas for School Poetry Week.

Go!”
All the kids, except Luis, rushed to the lake and began fishing. Luis walked along the lake, away from the

How to make festive gift tags (标签)?
In recent years, zero-waste living has been from fashionable topics to a way of life for many people,
including myself. And I’ve got an interesting way to help reduce some of that waste.
Last year, I created some free templates (模板) for reusable, zero-waste embroidered (刺绣) gift tags, and
I’m excited to stitch (缝) up some more this year. Each one can be made in less than 20 minutes, then reused over
and over. Let me show you my steps:
• Print out the gift tag templates, then cut out the design you want to make.
If you’re making the tags in a card, print them directly onto your card stock—but if you’re making them in
felt (毛毡), print them onto paper and draw the design onto the felt with tailor chalk.
• Using your sewing needle and embroidery thread, stitch the design on the template using the dots as a
guide. It’s best to use a back stitch to create the design.
If you’re stitching them in felt, you can stitch through both the paper template and the felt, then get away
the paper at the end. If you’re stitching a card tag, try not to bend or tear the card as you do this. It might take a
little practice to get a good feel for it.
• Build up the design until it’s finished, using as many colours of thread as you want.
• Tie off the ends and cut away the extra thread.
• Finally, tie a loop to the top of the tags, and stick the tag to your gifts.

with a cup of hot chocolate!
