BEvery 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake.1. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.2. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.3. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run outside and rush for exits (出口). Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong cover near you.4. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up.5. If you are at home and you smell gas (煤气), open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.51.

I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends - but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win because I was doing well in school. I'd already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn't include me. I was sad.Mr. Wang came to me and said, "Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe you're a little distant from the girls in our class. They don't know much about you, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you'll make it next time."61. What was the writer's problem when she first entered the boarding school?A. She didn't like her new school.B.

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind .Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all , you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you . As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls in adolescence are rich in feelings. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.36 The main idea of the passage is to _________A tell students to keep away from early love.B give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls.C tell students how to make friends.D teach boys how to talk with girls.37. We should keep touch with the other sex in the following ways EXCEPT _______A with a good state of mind .B in real friendshipC in publicD in secret38 If you are a shy person, you can ______A find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB only have a few friends of the same sex .C not make friends with the other sex.D not fall in love with other students easily .39 What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?A 波浪B 泥潭C 圈套D迷惑40 A person in adolescence is ___A complicated in feelingsB good at making friendsC old enough to fall in loveD eas y to regard the friendship as a sign of love.Passage2We pick up your children at schooland give them a safe place to play，do homework，and learn after school．Experienced Teachers／Lunch & Snacks／Toys & BooksAges 6 to 12Our Programs：*Languages *Math *Computer *MusicOpen 11：00 a. m．to 7：00 p. m．，Mon．to Fri．26 Market Road，Star City（between First Street and Second Street，next to the Flower Market）TEL：8765—432141.

School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be.

I am too old to go back to school now.You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish yo ur studies in high school. A year is really short.
