Peter：I went out with a group of friends yesterday. We saw a lady lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made jokes about her and laughed. Though I wanted to help her, my friends told me not to. It was awful of them to laugh at her, and I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed of myself. What should I do in this situation?
Dear Peter,
I believe you’ve learnt an important lesson —— you’ ll regret it if you don’ t do the right thing at the right moment. Next time in the same situation, you should make up your own mind. You shouldn’t listen to your friend. It was awful of them to laugh at a sick lady.
Julile：I have to share a room with my seven-year-old sister, and she’s driving me mad! She has a habit of playing the piano when I’ m studying, and she always takes my things without telling me. I try to keep the room tidy, but she always makes a mess. I love my sister, but sometimes she’s so annoying! What should I do?
Dear Julie,
You should talk to your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when you’re not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she asks you first. Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time with her every day and you’ll both learn how to live happily with each other.

To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.
Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.
Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.
With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.
41. Why do most people feel hard to make their travel dream come true? A. Because they can hardly find hotels. B. Because the food is not healthy. C. Because the cost of travel is high. D. Because they are afraid of adventure.

C. going to Australia and other countries D. looking after pets for rich house owners

45. What does the underlined word “generous” mean in Chinese? A.吝啬的 B.友善的 C.慷慨的 D.冷漠的
D
I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.
Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.
The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.
46. How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes? A. Something even without legs. B. Something not popular among people. C. A person who is neutral. D. A person who cares about nothing.
47. Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes? A. They welcome snakes as their best friends. B. They would rather see a mouse than a snake. C. They wonder why snakes can cause great fear. D. They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.
48. Although some snakes are poisonous, ______. A. they cause many people’s death B. they control the population of mice C. they are not dangerous to people D. they are only a small number
49. People who really like snakes are open-minded because they ______. A. are able to put aside differences B. think all the snakes are poisonous C. are able to deal with poisonous snakesD. take part in the poison argument
50. The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer ______. A. dislikes snakes B. has the best luck C. loves snakes D. prefers to be left alone
