All Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks, and where there is enough soil, grass, flowers, and even small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains. There are some animals in Eskimo land, such as rabbits, which eat the plants. Other animals, like the white fox and the gray wolf, eat the rabbits. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.
The Eskimo year has two main parts:A long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the best time, as food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store, for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.
The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all. Around October 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them, and they don't see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.
Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo's eyes.
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.
B. Eskimos like to chase one another.
C. Eskimos depend heavily on water.
D. Eskimos are meat-eaters.
7. In the Eskimo year, ________.
A. there is no spring and fall
B. winter is cold and summer is hot
C. summer is a time for growing food
D. winter comes early and goes late
8. What's the meaning of the underlined word “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?
A. Dark with a little light.
B. A little dark.
C. Not dark at all.
D. Extremely dark.
9. From the passage, we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A. Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summer
B. Eskimo women are responsible for housework
C. meat is the main source of food for the Eskimo
D. hunting is an important part of Eskimo life
10. Why is summer lighter in the Far North?
A. Because the Far North is far away from the sun.
B. Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year.
C. Because the sun never sets in midsummer.
D. Because people see the sun set directly south of them.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 36 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 40 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 41 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 42 her. I was 43 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it 44 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 45 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen 46 , but it’s really there. Love is 47 .”

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 52 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
