Squirrels (松鼠) are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.

Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞).

Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!

Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.

When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you’ll even see them digging through the snow.

Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.

When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.

That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.

26. To get ready for winter, squirrels do all of the following EXCEPT ______ . A. store leaves to keep warm B. look for nuts and seeds C. find holes in trees D. dig holes in the ground 27. The underlined part “tend to bury” in Paragraph 4 means ______ . A. never bury B. seldom bury C. usually bury D. hardly bury 28. According to the passage, we know that______ . A. squirrels do not eat any other animals B. squirrels sleep all the time during winter

C. squirrels plant young trees when spring comes

D. squirrels sometimes fail to find all of their buried nut

D

It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father’s lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time my father has been a very vague figure（模糊形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.

When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.

But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）, “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see you. ”I told him.

I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father！I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His eyes

were also filled with tears.

Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.

For much of my life I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously not true. At my graduation ceremony, I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it. 29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation.

B. The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony.

C. The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school.

D. The writer’s father went to parent-teacher meetings when she was in primary school.

30. The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because ________． A. she gave a speech successfully B. the graduation ceremony was over

C. she was so nervous that she couldn’t help crying D. she was touched to find her father cared about her

31. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to（指代）_________？ A. That my father was a cold-blooded man. B. That my father was always doing projects. C. That my father sat in the corner of the hall. D. That my father’s eyes were filled with tears. 32. What’s the best title of the passage? A. My busy father. B. Life is full of love. C. Seeing is not believing. D. A wonderful speech.

There was a little boy with a bad temper(脾气). His father gave him some nails(钉子)to drive into the fence(栅栏)when he lost his temper.

The first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Then it began to become less. He found it was easier to control his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy should now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to control his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, \my son, but you look at the fence. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar(伤痕)just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound(伤口)is still there. A verbal(言语)wound is as bad as a physical one. It is important to practise self-control.

53. How many nails did the boy drive into the fence on the first day?

54. Why did the boy's father ask his son to drive nails into the fence?

55. Will you say things angrily to your friends? Why or Why not?
