They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions about the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. For example,if you say bad things about a person,the person might protest and say“Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that people’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time”. If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, In other words, he might feel afraid for saying the wrong thing. Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “l(fā)eft a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person has possibly had a very scary experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say, “I had my heart in my mouth.” Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”. This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from “hand to mouth”.

You can have what you want if you try!” The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared suddenly.Jean felt thrilled and told her teacher about her dream of being a pilot.Mrs.Slaton slapped(敲)the desk top,“Then do it!” she said.

That made them feel sad. After thinking carefully, Li and his wife made up their minds to fight against the sands. They bought thousands of young trees and planted them around the village. However, only a few survived(存活), because the trees were not regularly watered. But how to get water was a big problem. They dug a well(井) but it became dry soon. Then they asked a drilling team to dig a deep well. Clear water appeared, but their money was used up. They couldn’t afford to buy young trees. They went to several banks for help but got nothing. Finally they turned to a friend who was also from the village. The friend had a big business. Learning what they were doing, their friend was moved and decided to do something for their village too. So he offered the money the needed. With the money, they bought trees and had them planted. They looked after the trees as if they were their own children. After some time, green leaves came out.

They have families to support. But these are only excuses. The fact is that they haven’t got a reading habit. A reading habit isn’t something natural. It needs to be trained. And it’s never too late to develop a reading habit. Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to develop a good reading habit. A book in rich colors and with simple patterns(圖案)such as lines and circles is a good choice for babies of three months old. When they reach six months, they will bee interested in simple story books in rich colors. When children get old enough to read by themselves, it’s necessary to buy books that are both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult are not good for kids to keep their reading habits. Only buying books for children isn’t enough. For kids, parents are their first teachers. So parents should read books to set an example. Children will follow them. Scientists say imitating the adults is a born skill. And it is the most valuable way for children to learn. This will certainly help them develop a reading habit in the end. ( )53. According to the writer, many adults seldom read because they .

I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through(經(jīng)歷). When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a mon student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤獨(dú)癥).He sometimes had random outbursts(隨意發(fā)作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didnt know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it. Then one day, Dereks mom came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasnt just having random outbursts-he was trying to municate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that persons mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning. After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.

Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby. To keep warm, guests sleep in fortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses(床墊)and reindeer skins(馴鹿皮). There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors(在戶外), indoor temperatures are still very low. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt(融化)away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers. ( )56. According to the passage, ice hotels______.

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is mon that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree? To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers. However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses bee very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(氣壓) reduces one third of the sensibility(感覺(jué))of our taste buds(味蕾). So our taste buds bee senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it. All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless. Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste. Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them. ( )61. In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means______. A. passengers stay long in the plane B. food on the plane tastes bad C. passengers have no food to eat D. food on the plane is expensive ( )62. What do airlines do to solve this problem? A. Get more customers. B.Offer more food. C.Improve their food. D.Reduce the ticket price. ( )63. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces______of the sensibility of our taste buds. A.half B.one third C.one fourth D.one fifth ( )64.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good? A. The volunteers don’t know about food taste. B.The volunteers don’t understand them. C.They can’t find enough volunteers. D.They can’t deal with the special environment successfully. ( )65.What is the best title of the passage? A.Taste of
