ALots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you'll never catch up.When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(顾问) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions(情绪). Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.（1）Lots of kids __________, according to the writer.A . like school very muchB . are good at reading and writingC . don't like doing homeworkD . have the thought of hating school（2）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in the first paragraph?A .

These inventions should be better known， even though I think that some of them are crazy. Let's have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car， she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol(酒精) in their breath， the car wouldn't start. It sounded like a great idea to me， but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated(产出) by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV， they had to pedal(踩踏板) very hard. I found another invention on the Internet which was intended (倾向于) to encourage good habits. Believe it or not， this invention was an ashtray(烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The “voice” of the ashtray was activated (启动) by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river， you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not use a bridge instead? A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you. The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not! I think he wore those shoes twice! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport， the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own，you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.（1）What's the writer's attitude towards the inventions mentioned in Paragraph 2?A . The writer regrets he knew nothing about the inventions.B . The writer wonders if the inventions will be popular soon.C . The writer thinks people will benefit from the inventions.D . The writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.（2）The underlined word “inflate” in the third paragraph means ____________.A . check outB . blow upC . look intoD . turn over（3）What's the best title for the passage?A . Popular Inventions Today.B . Technology and Invention.C . The History of Invention.D . Inventions with a Difference.4. （8分） Look into the mirror and what do you see? You see yourself. But when you move. you do everything backward(相反地)in the mirror! If you wave your left hand, your right hand waves in the mirror. If you wink your right eye, your left eye, your left eye winks(眨). Try to read a page in the mirror .The words will be backwards.What is really happening? You do not see through the glass of a mirror as you do through a window. The glass of a mirror has a silver coating on the back. The light from the sun or a bulb bounces (弹回)off you ,goes into the mirror ,and bounces straight back out to you again.Mirrors have been used for thousands of years. The earliest were round pieces of shiny metal. Glass mirrors came late. The ancients thought that a mirror was magic. They did not understand how it worked. They thought they saw their spirits in a mirror and breaking a mirror brought bad luck.Today mirrors have many uses .For example, they can make rooms look bigger and prettier. They also show us if our hair is combed(梳理) well and our faces are clean. On cars, buses and trucks, mirrors help drivers see traffic behind them. Mirrors are also used in telescopes(望远镜)and searchlights(探照灯).Fun houses use mirrors. They make people look funny. Some mirrors are curved to make people seem short and round or tall and tin They make people laugh at themselves.（1）If you wave your right hand, you can see your In the mirror.A . left hand downB . left hand waveC . right hand waveD . right hand up（2）Mirrors .A . appeared a long time agoB . were made of glass at firstC . made of metal are popular todayD . had many uses in ancient times（3）Mirrors were magic in the past because .A . people thought they could see their spirits in mirrorsB . they were used in magic showsC . hey could make people change their heights and weightsD . they could make people laugh（4）Wha t does the word “curved” mean in Chinese?A . 雕刻B . 油漆C . 扭转D . 弯曲二、完形填空 (共1题；共10分)5. （10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
