The Beginning of a Friendship
Lucy was a shy little girl when she first stood in front of the third-grade class. It was
Monday. The teacher pointed to a two-student desk that was empty and told her to sit there.
Lucy walked over to her desk carefully. Suddenly, her books dropped to the floor. Some of
the kids in the class laughed. Lucy picked up her books and sat own alone. She was the only one
without a desk partner. No one knew who she was. She was very lonely and afraid to make friends
with anyone. She couldn’t talk to anyone about her problem.
On Wednesday morning, the teacher said, “Class, this week we are very lucky to have
another new student, Henry.” The little boy came over and put his bag on Lucy’s desk. He looked
at her and smiled at her. It was a kind of shy smile, but it was a nice smile. She smiled back.
When lunchtime came, Lucy sat on the bench under the big tree eating her butter sandwich.
Henry was playing football with some boys. Henry made friends quickly, it seemed. Then he
looked over at Lucy and saw her looking at him. Shyly, she looked down, but when she looked up
again, there was Henry standing right in front of her with his lunch bag in his hand. “Can I sit on
this bench with you?” he asked. She nodded. For a few minutes they didn’t talk at all. But right
away Lucy knew she had a friend. Henry was nice. Some kids were just that way.

walk to school.
Wash the green way
Do you help your mum or dad wash clothes? Then wash them in an energy-saving way. A recent
study by Cambridge University ____66____ that 60 percent of the energy used on a piece of
clothing is spent in washing and drying it. Over its lifetime, a T-shirt can send up to 4 kilograms of
carbon dioxide into the air.
If you wash your own clothes, wash them in cold or warm water, but not hot water. Wash your
clothes when they fill up(装满) the ___67___. Use the most energy-saving one you can find.
Some new ones use as ___68___ as one-fourth of the energy of older ones. When they are clean,

“My mother teaches me that I should never get money for any k___71_____,” she replied, “so you

D. Answer the following questions (6分)
It began with one red paper clip (回形针) and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a
26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades (交易).
Seeing Kyle’s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are
starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do
not usually use with other people. A website called Peerflx allows people to trade their used
DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don’t have to worry
about who is going to pay for the delivery.
Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a
paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is
worth(价值) more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
You may wonder why people are so keen on those trading activities. If you ask Kyle, he will
say, “To a man dying of thirst in the desert, a glass of water is certainly more useful than one
million dollars, isn’t it?” Kyle’s words probably show why these trades are popular among young
people.
75. Did Kyle start his trade with a house?
_____________________________________________________________________
76. Where does Kyle come from?
_____________________________________________________________________
77. Why do some traders like face-to-face trading?
_____________________________________________________________________
78. What has the girl in Beijing got after several trades?
_____________________________________________________________________
79. If you have a trading activity, what would you like to start with and what would you like to
get finally?(2 分)
