Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work..But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.46. What did the writer's family do for him when he was seven?A. They built a farm of ants.B. They bought a few ants.C. They caught a lot of ants.D. They found an ant city.47. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer broke the glass box because it made his face dirty.B. The ants died one by one because the tunnels were destroyed.C. Unlike people, teamwork is not so important for the ants.D. Giving up is a good way when we meet trouble.48. Which is the correct order of the following?a. All the tunnels fell down.b. The ants died one by one.c. The ants got into the glass box.d. The ants began making tunnels.A. a-b-c-dB. a - c - d - bC. c-d-a-bD. c-a-d-b49. What did the writer come to realize a few years later?A. Working together is useless.B. Teamwork is important.C. He can't accept adversity.D. Working alone is amazing.50. What is the best title for the passage?A. Ants Fear AdversityB. My Family and AntsC. Giving Up in AdversityD. A Good Lesson from AntsBPeter is a sixth-grader at Woodland Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. John, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Woodland Secondary School. He began smoking four years ago. “Smoking is part of my life,” John said. Peter and John are not those boys’real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens or earlier.A study of 8,000 London students shows that smoking is a problem for many British kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6 % of primary school pupils said they smoked.“If young people start smoking early, it will be very hard for them to give up later on,” saida professor.Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, that number will go up to about ten million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.51.
