(A)?

A

Two teachers made a bet (打赌) on the result of the football game between their high school teams. If Robert’s team lost, he would send John’s team ten pounds of potatoes. If John’s team lost, he would send Robert’s team ten pounds of tomatoes.

Unluckily, before the game started, John overheard (偶然听到) Robert tell someone, “They grow the worst tomatoes. If they lose the game and send us their tomatoes, I’m going to give them all to my pigs.” John was upset to hear this, because he thought his tomatoes were the best.

The following week, the big game was played. The star player in John’s team tripped over (绊倒) a cheerleader (啦啦队员) and injured his leg. The player could just watch the rest of the game. Finally, his team failed to win the game. The two teachers shook hands after the game and Robert said, “I’m really looking forward to your tomatoes.” As John’s team left, some unhappy fans threw tomatoes at them.

A week later, Robert received a package of beautiful tomatoes. He took them straight to his pigs and the pigs ate them up in a second. That night John asked his wife if Robert had called. “No,” she said. “Why?” “Because I mixed a pound of salt into the tomatoes and I wanted to know how his pigs are doing.” John felt nervous and thought that perhaps what Robert had said was partly true.

41. Why did John become unhappy before the game?

A. He was afraid to lose the game.

B. He could not take part in the game.

C. He didn’t have enough tomatoes.

D. He was angry with what Robert had said.

New children’s books on sale

Imagine That

Imagine That is written for younger kids aged 3-6. One great thing about this book is that it uses real-life examples that younger children can understand easily. These examples show the magic, mystery and power within nature and within every one of us.



The Wave

The Wave is a children’s story and it’s also a clear message to teens and adults that there is usually more to life than we see with our eyes. It also helps plant an early seed in children’s minds that spirituality (灵性) isn’t just something we seek or find, but it’s a part of us all the time and every place—all we need to do is become aware. This book is probably better suited for older children, perhaps aged 5-10, as it talks about spiritual things.



Kiss of a Dolphin

Kiss of a Dolphin is a very touching story. This story is actually a series of stories about the “Dreams for Kids” organization.

At first, the organization helps children in Chicago, but then it becomes an organization helping all poor kids. Just as importantly, this book is about all of the volunteers and the gifts that they receive as they help these kids realize their dreams. Also, its beautiful language can be enjoyed by children over 12 years old.



45. What is great about Imagine That according to the writer?

A. It is written specially for older children.

B. It lists examples children can understand easily.

C. There are many stories about magic and mystery.

D. It is about something that we cannot experience.

46. The Wave is suitable for older children because of ______.

A. its difficult language B. the scientific topic

C. its deep meaning D. the length of the story

Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress

A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.



Work in a library

If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
