[2016·山西师大附中一模]China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly. To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
中国被称为自行车的王国,尽管汽车越来越多,但仍有大部分人选择自行车这种低碳环保的交通方式。

[2016·河南名校联考]Deep in the western Amazon rainforest, live butterflies that drink turtle tears. That sounds like a line straight out of a fantasy novel, but it's one hundred percent real life! It's an unusual sight—a crowd of butterflies flying around the eyes of yellow-spotted river turtles, trying to get a little tears. The poor turtles try to avoid them, but the butterflies insist drinking their tears until they've had their fill.
The butterflies are likely attracted to the turtles' tears because the liquid drops contain salt, specifically sodium (钠), an important mineral that is rare in the western Amazon rainforest, said Phil Torres, a scientist who does much of his research at the Tambopata Research Center in Peru and is associated with Rice University. Turtles get plenty of sodium through their largely carnivorous (食肉的) diet. Meat contains significant levels of the salt, Torres told LiveScience. But herbivores (食草的) butterflies sometimes struggle to get this extra mineral source, he added.
Torres explained the western Amazon rainforest is lower in sodium than many places on earth, because it is over 1,000 miles away from the Atlantic Ocean—a main source of salt. The region is also cut off from the mineral dirt blown towards the west from the Andes Mountains. Most of these windblown minerals are removed from the air by the rain before they have a chance to reach the western Amazon.
In fact, the butterflies have other sources to get sodium besides turtles' tears, which include animal urine (尿), muddy river banks, sweaty clothes and so on.
People can't help wondering if the process is painful for turtles. Torres said it's not completely clear, but the teary effort probably has little effect on the turtles, other than perhaps making them more vulnerable to their enemies like big cats, since the butterflies can block out their vision.
在Amazon rainforest的深处,居住着一种特殊的蝴蝶,它们喝海龟的眼泪。
5.The butterflies drink turtle tears to________.
A.help the turtles get sodium
B.get a mineral from turtle tears
C.rid waste from the turtles' bodies
D.take turtles to the best water source
答案:B 事实细节题。从文中第二段最后一句“But herbivores (食草的) butterflies sometimes struggle to get this extra mineral source.”可知选B。
6.The third paragraph mainly tells us________.
A.what leads to the extremely low levels of sodium in the region
B.why sodium is very important for butterflies in the region
C.what takes away the sodium of the surface of the region
D.why the region is badly short of the mineral dirt
答案:A 主旨大意题。从第三段第一句话可概括本段大意。
7.We can conclude from the passage that________.
A.the butterflies like eating meat for getting salt
B.the turtles like the butterflies drinking their tears
C.turtle tears are the only source of salt for the butterflies
D.the Andes Mountains lies east of the western Amazon rainforest
答案:D 推理判断题。从第三段最后两句话“The region is also cut off from the mineral dirt blown towards the west from the Andes Mountains.”可知D正确,其他三项与文中事实不符。
8.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Turtles' enemy or turtles' friends?
B.A line straight out of a fantasy novel
C.The western Amazon rainforest's turtles
D.Amazonian butterflies drinking turtle tears

●Respect their belongings. One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents.

Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries. __2__ And never borrow things without asking first.

Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.
●__4__ Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.
●Be kind.
Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements. __5__

Dear_Ms_Shen,
I'm_Li_Hua,_a_student_from_Class_1,Grade_3. I'm writing to apply for the membership in your club.
I really want to obtain this precious opportunity because to be an actor is my long-cherished dream. I always dream of performing on the stage with so many eyes focused on me.

As an outgoing girl, I get along well with my classmates. Not only do I love acting, but I am also creative and full of imagination. And now I'm trying to write my own play. What's more, I have such a good command of English that I am elected as assistant to my English teacher.
I do hope you can give me a chance to make my dream realized. I would appreciate it very much if my membership could be accepted.
Looking_forward_to_your_reply.
