24、 Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.
In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.
For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate(车牌照)number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on Aug 8, 2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍)and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes(求婚)to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what’s an unlucky number in China? One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.
Because of this, many buildings skip(跳过)the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.
【1】What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?
A.The shape of the number. B.The sound of the number.
C.The history of the number. D.The spelling of the number.
【2】Why will people spend a lot of money to have 8s in phone numbers or on vehicle license plate numbers?
A.Because they believe 8 will make them live forever. B.Because they believe 8 will bring good luck.
C.Because 8 is easy to remember. D.Because 8 stands for fashion.
【3】According to the passage, how do you like the number 9 in Chinese culture?
A.terrible B.crazy C.positive D.worried
【4】A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers.
A.35 B.44 C.50 D.60
【5】What is the story mainly about?
A.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Western culture. B.Meanings of different lucky numbers.
C.Meanings of different unlucky numbers. D.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.
25、A good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place. When you like your teacher,it's easier to pay attention to his explanations and improve your grades. When you consider your teacher a friend,you'll certainly have more respect for him. When your teachers consider you to be a friend and not only a student,they'll feel freer in class to make their classes more lively and interesting. Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:
Ask questions. If you have any questions about that subject,ask them. Show them that you're interested in their subject. That will make them notice you. But never ask questions that you already know the answer to. If so,they might think that you're not actually trying to learn.
Talk about non-school subjects. When you see one of your teachers in the hall,greet him and ask if he's going to that concert or if he's seen that movie. That way you'll show that you consider him a friend. Some teachers don't like to have a friendly relationship with a student,but most of them want to have those simple talks with their students. And after a while,they will start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the class. That will make more students in your class get involved(参与)in those talks,and everyone will start to consider that teacher to be a friend.
Teachers will always be teachers. Don't forget that no matter what good relationship you two have,you should respect them.

26、 China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: The way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual.
Also, you can buy a small amount(数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shopkeepers even help you peel( 去 皮 ) and cut them. But shopkeepers in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
【1】In southern China, at a time people usually buy .

【4】Why do many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food?
A.Because the weather is always hot and wet.
B.Because food goes bad quickly and easily there.
C.Because the weather is usually cold and dry.

Passage 1 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and the Caterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her changein size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens tosee a trial (审判). The Knave of Hearts is accused of (被指控) stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts (甜馅饼), while the King of Hearts is the judge. As Alice argues with the Queen, the Queen becomes angry with Alice and orders her men to kill her. In the end, Alice grows into a huge size and knocks over the playing cards. Suddenly, Alice wakes from her dream.
The classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, an English author, was fantastic and entertaining. It took you to a world of fantasy. The entire storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personality is attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf.

Passage2 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away from her home in a storm and finds herself in the Land of Oz. Dorothy, together with her companions the Tin Woodman who wants a heart, the Scarecrow who wants a brain and the Cowardly Lion who wants courage, journeys in search of the wizard inorder to return home. After facing many difficulties, they successfully meet the Great Oz, who in fact is not a wizard. However, the old man gives the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and needles, the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and filled with sawdust and the Cowardly Lion a bottle of courage. In the end, Dorothy finally gets home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to find her safe and sound.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyableAmerican classic. What I loved most were Dorothy’s trustworthy friends, who were always there when Dorothy needed help. Dorothy is also loved by everyone for her sweetness and honesty. If you have not read it, why don't you give yourself a treat?
