16．Have you ever heard from the                                （81）of
saying：All work and no play make                      （82）makes
Jack a dull boy？What this means is
that if you study all the times，you will                （83）time
become a boring person．You must go
out and having fun with your friends，（84）have
otherwise （否则） you will lose him．No one         （85）them
wants to be friends with the person 
who only works and study．Perhaps                        （86）studies
you have a confidence problem．Please
try remember that the work you do is                      （87）try to
for your rather than for anyone else．                    （88）yourself
You do not have to competed with                          （89）compete
your classmates．No one can be
happier in studying seven days and                        （90）happy

15．Australia is（31）Disland in the world．It's a little smaller than China．It is in
The（32）C of the Earth．So when it is hot summer in China，it's cold winter in Australia．
Australia is big，but the population there is（33）A．The population of Australia is the same（34）D that of Shanghai，a city in China．
Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos．After a short drive from any town，you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep．Sheep，sheep，（35）D are sheep．Have you ever seen a kangaroo？It has a"bag"in its body．The mother kangaroo keeps its baby kangaroo in the"bag"．It is very interesting，isn't it？

14．Reading makes one wise，but many adults seldom read．They say they are too（56）Cto have time to read．Sure，they have work to do．They have families to（57）D．But these are only（58）B．The fact is that they haven't got a reading（59）B．A reading habit isn't something natural．It needs to be（60）C．And it's（61）Btoo late to develop a reading habit．
Scientists believe（62）D books are very important for children to develop a reading habit．A book（63）A rich colors and with simple patterns（图案） is a good choice for babies of three months old．（64）Bthey reach six months，they will become interested in simple picture books．
When children get old enough to read by（65）C．It is necessary to buy books that are both interesting and right for them to understand．Parents shouldn't buy them the books which are（66）Btoo easy or too difficult for them．It is not good for kids to（67）A their reading habit．
Only buying books for children is not enough．For kids，parents are their first（68）B，so parents should read books to set an example．Children will（69）A them．Scientists say imitating（模仿） the adults is a born skill．And it is the most valuable way for children to learn．This will certainly help them develop a reading habit（70）C the end．

13．Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things．I teach my daughters to d（76）evelopa habit of helping others．
We live in a rural（乡村） area．Most of what we see is beautiful nature．One of the exceptions （例外） to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows．And there are no necessary public s（77）ervices．Such as rubbish collection．
A helping behavior（行为） that I often p（78）racticewith my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood．My daughters often have a m（79）atchto see who can collect the most rubbish．They will often say to me in an excited voice，"There's some rubbish，-Daddy，stop the car!"Without t（80）hinkingmore，we will often get out of the our car and pick it up．Though it may seem s（81）trange，we do it．In fact，we enjoy it．We pick it up rubbish in parks，on sidewalks，almost a（82）nywhere．
One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road．I stopped．He r（83）aisedhis head and said to me with a smile，"I saw you doing this with your family．It's a good idea to protect our natural world．"
There are many other ways to p（84）rovidekindness for others．You may share a dinner with a beggar（乞丐），visit lonely old people in the nursing home，or help the blind cross the street．You can think of something that can be finished e（85）asilybut helpful．It is fun，self-satisfying，and what's more，it can set a good example．Helping others is helping yourself．

12．I finished middle school in the 1970s．I still remember the teen years were the（41）Btime of my life．At that time，as a girl，I hated it when my parents asked me（42）Aabout my problems that made me uncomfortable．I also remember many times when Mr．Templat，my teacher，would take me aside and talk to me．He had a special way of finding out what the problem was．Every time the（43）Dwith me，I felt better．He was a teacher I will never（44）C．
He had a way of making his classes enjoyable．We always got the highest（45）Cin math in our grade with his teaching．If there was a big world ball game on the radio，we would（46）Beverything and he would put the game on so we could all enjoy it．
Teens often learn things on TV or film adults about world（47）Athat can make them scared．Now it is terrorism（恐怖主义）．Back in my teen years it was the Cold War．It worried me so much that I（48）Aeach day would be my last．Mr．Templat knew how much it troubled his（49）D．He opened the subject up to discussion．He gave us a way to express our fears and helped us understand war and politics（政治）．
When I think back to those special days，I appreciate （感念） that he helped me go（50）Dsuch a difficult time in my life．

11．When I'm in trouble，I always take out a book and read quietly．I put my heart into it so that
I can forget all the（56）Athings．I have developed a habit of reading in this way．
When I was a little boy，I was interested in comic books and storybooks．When I grew older and went to a middle school，I began to read novels，plays，essays and so on．I found I could get（57）Bfrom them．Little by little，I took a great interest in literature and last term I（58）Cthe first prize in the composition contest among high school students in our city．
Reading The Emperor's New Clothes makes me（59）Ba lot because of the emperor's silly and funny behavior．The Little Match Girl makes me feel（60）Abecause she lives a hard life．Robison Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger．My favorite book is The Story of
My Life because I'm deeply．（61）Bby Helen Keller's spirit of being strong and never giving up．Besides these，books also tell me other things-how to be a brave man and how to tell the difFerence between right and wrong．In a word，good books can let me know（62）CI didn't know before．So I think good books are just like my best friends．

10．Fill in each blank with a proper word with the help of the first letter．
You're standing with your classmatesEveryone is talkinge（81）xcept you．Perhaps you're afraid they will laugh at you when you say．Maybe you just aren't bravee（82）noughto speak．Shyness is like a snake that crawls（爬进）into our mouth andp（83）reventsus from speaking．But we shouldn't let it stay there．
I am 29years old．Even today，that snakes（84）tillsometimes visits me．When I was in high school，I was so shy that I wouldn't talk to anyone except my parents and best friends．If a stranger asked me thew（85）ay to a local shop，it was as if I'd forgotten how to talk．One summer，I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot．It meant I had to talk to customers（顾客）．I had to tell them howm（86）uchtheir meal cost．I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite．This job taught meh（87）owto speak with people．
You may bet（88）ooyoung to find a part-time job．But you can look for other chances to speak with people．You can offer to help an old womanc（89）arryher heavy bag．Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family．
If you do these things for a while，the‘shyness'snake will soon begin tol（90）eave．It'll look for another mouth to crawl into．

9．Do you know who Lewis Carroll is？Yes!You are right．He is the writer of the famous story----Alice's Adventures in Wonderland．Many people described Lewis Carrol as shy．He wasn't very good in social situations．He didn't talk much．One of his college students even said his classes were extremely （75）B．But children thought very differently of him．When he was with children，he was funny and imaginative．He（76）Apuzzles and games，and created stories that children loved．Those children included Alice，the daughter of a colleague，and her two sisters，Lorina and Edith．

 It seems that Lewis Carrol was a wild flower that only bloomed when children were around．
"Tell us a （77）D，please，Mr．Dodgson，"the three girls asked．
‘Alice was beginning to get very （78）C-sitting by her sister on the side of the river and of having nothing to do．She wanted to do something new and happy．Suddenly，a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her．，'he began．He continued for a few minutes，and then stopped．That's all until next time．
The girl complained，so he offered to go on．That day the stories came out（79）A．He seemed relaxed in his role as storyteller and told many stories．
Lewis Carroll included Alice and her sister in the stories with Alice as the most important character．The other character included an Englet（named for Edith） and a lorry （ a kind of parrot ） named after Lorina．That day，in particular，Lewis Carroll's stories were really interesting．
Later，Alice begged Lewis to write the stories down，and he agreed．（80）D，it wasn't until two and a half years later that Lewis finally gave her a dark，green leather notebook----Alice's Adventures in Wonderland．
