She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before.

Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty mean, would not eat in unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.

Queen Maura was now certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry.

“Hakim is the most generous of you,” she told them, “so i want to marry him ans he will become king.”

曾经有很多酋长都想去皇后毛拉，因为她是一个美丽和强大的阿拉伯皇后。

然而，大多数酋长她都不喜欢，最后选择下来，只有三位酋长肯能会成为她的丈夫。 这三位酋长都同样年轻英俊，富有和强大的，所以，这是个很艰难的选择。 一天晚上，她把自己伪装起来， 在吃饭的时候，到三个部落去找这三个酋长。 她要求他们给她一些东西吃。

第一个酋长给了她一些不新鲜的，前一天吃剩下的食物。 第二位酋长给了她很难吃的，像给动物吃的食物。

第三位酋长，他的名字叫Hakim, 给了她一些新鲜的，很好吃的肉。 餐后， 毛拉离开酋长们的营地。

第二天，她邀请了三位酋长去她的宫殿吃晚饭。

她告诉她的仆人，把昨天三个酋长给她的食物分别给三个酋长。

Hakim, 收到一盘新鲜，很好吃的肉。同时，其它两位酋长不能和她分享。 女王毛拉现在知道了她想结婚的对象就是Hakim. “他是最慷慨的人，”她说，“所以我想嫁给他，他将成为国王。” 1. The queen was looking for a husband. 女王想寻找一位丈夫。 A：T B：F

Passage 7

There was once an ant that was very thirsty.It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it. The ant drank the water, which saved its life.The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.

The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds. \

\of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.\\

\\

Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.

The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go. Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.

有只蚂蚁口渴了。它到处找水喝, 可就是找不着。突然, 就在蚂蚁快要渴死的时候, 一大滴水落了下来。 蚂蚁喝了水, 得救了。这滴水实际上是一个正在哭泣的年轻姑娘的泪水。

蚂蚁抬起头, 看见一个年轻姑娘正坐在一大堆种子前。 “你为什么这么伤心啊?”蚂蚁问道。

“我是一个巨大的囚犯,”姑娘告诉蚂蚁,\这大堆种子里夹杂有谷子, 大麦和黑麦的种子, 我只有把它们分开, 拣成三堆, 他才肯放我走。\

“这需要你一个月的时间呢!”蚂蚁看了看这大堆的种子说道。

“我知道,”姑娘哭着说,“如果我明天还分不完, 巨人就会把我当他的晚餐吃掉!\ “不要哭,\蚂蚁说,\我和我的朋友会帮助你的。”

很快, 成千上万只蚂蚁忙碌起来, 将这些种子按分类分成三堆。 第二天早晨, 巨人看到分派给姑娘的活儿干完了, 就把她给放了。

Passage 8

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do i know when i found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠）.

A good friend, above all else, tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead , he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person?s place, and the tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time. I can be sure that he will be there. If i need a favor, he will also do his best to help me. If i am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

When i meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding. I know I?ve found a friend. 一个人在选择朋友时，必须得小心。一个好朋友能帮助你学习。 你们在一起会很开心， 彼此都很快乐。 有时候，你会遇见一些酒肉朋友。他们在你有钱或走运的时候和你在一起，

但是当你遭遇不幸的时候，他们就会溜走。那么我怎么知道我找到了一个好朋友呢？我主要是寻找一些品质特征，尤其是理解、诚实、可靠这些品质。

一个号朋友首先会倾心理解另一个人的感受。 他不会立刻给出判断。 相反，他会从别人那里感受到东西，他会置身于别人的位置， 尽力想出有用的办法。 同时，他也是一个好的倾听者。

与此同时，一个好朋友是诚实的。 他不会寻找别人的缺点。他会注意到别人的优点。总之，这个朋友会尽力理解我，接受我。

好朋友的另一个品质是可靠。我总是依赖我的好朋友。 如果他告诉我他再某个时间、某个地点会和见面，我敢保证他就在那里。如果我需要帮助，他会尽他所能来帮助我。如果我有麻烦，他不会离我而去。

当我遇见一个可靠、诚实、理解的人时，我知道我找到了一个好朋友！

Passage 9

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn?t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all in its pain.

Long ago, operation has usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Sooner after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing as became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn?t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.

Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well?s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.

As he didn?t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.

Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.

没有人愿意听见自己的身体被外科医生割开并切除某些部分。但是现在，我们在做手术期间不用担心感到疼痛。病人陷入睡眠中，当他醒来时手术已经结束了。但是这种令人愉悦的方式是相当新奇的。 就在不久前一个人在做手术时还会觉得疼。

很久以前，手术都是在病人完全清醒的时候做的。在1770过后不久，约瑟夫. 普利斯特发现了一种气体现在被称作“令人笑的气”。 笑气被美国人知道了。年轻人们都去舞会上体验这种气体。他们大部分人都哈哈大笑，但是一次一个宴会上的人，霍尔斯.威尔士发现当人们使用这种气体的时候就不会感觉到疼痛。他决定在自己身上做个试验。他邀请了一位朋友帮他。

威尔士取出一些气体，然后他的朋友拔出他的一颗牙。威尔士一点也没有感觉到痛。 因为他对笑气了解不多，他在另一个人身上试验时，用的笑气的量小于应用的量， 所以当这个人的牙齿被拔出时，他痛苦的大喊大叫。

威尔士又试了一次，但是这次他用的笑气的量太多，导致这个人死了威尔士永远也忘不了这个可怕的经历。

Passage 10

Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.

One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught

geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, \

Passage 11

If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.

However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?
