We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South pole. The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole there is only snow, ice and water. There is not any land. You cannot see the polar bear in the snow because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because the weather is cold in the Arctic Circle.The bear is 3 m long and it weighs 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It can swim 120 kilometres out into the water. It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid. People like to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of Canada and United States say that no one can kill polar bears now.

It was built in 1864. 1 was very excited. The restaurant is famous for roast duck. You can even buy a Beijing Duck baseball cap as a souvenir! I could smell the duck when we went into the restaurant and I felt very hungry. This restaurants cooks only use the best ducks served with plum sauce (调味品) andleeks (葱）.The plum sauce is always fresh and the leeks are always from Shandong Province. Eating in Beijing Duck can be difficult! First, you should use your chopsticks to take a pancake (薄煎饼) and then put a little plum sauce on the pancake. Next, you need to add some duck meat to your pancake. Dont take too much because everyone is sharing! Then, you need some leeks. These can be difficult to pick up because they are very thin. Just put a few on the duck. Finally, you need to roll the pancake up so it is easy to eat. I think you should use your chopsticks, but you can use your hands.Then start again and keep eating until you are full and as fat as a Beijing Duck, but leave room for duck soup as well!（ ）31.

What should be the best title for the passage?A. How to eat Beijing Duck.B. How to get to the Quanjude Restaurant.C. How to pick up the leeks.D. How to taste the duck soup.C Happiness is for everyone. You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.（ ）36. Those who have big houses may often feel _.A happy B lonely C free D excited（ ）37. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will _.A laugh at you B play jokes on youC quarrel with you D help you up（ ）38. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?A Oh, so do I. B Congratulations! C Good luck! D Its just so-so.（ ）39. Which idea is NOT right according to the passage?A People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.B You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.（ ）40. Which of the following is this passage about?A. Bad luck. B. Good luck. C. Happiness. D. Life.D Is there anything more important than health? I dont think so. “Health is the greatest wealth (财富),” wise people say. You cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache or a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature or have your chest X-rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. He looked much more cheerful and much happier. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,”the man went on saying, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.”（ ）41. The writer thinks that _.A health is more important than wealthB work is as important as studiesC medicine is more important than pleasureD nothing is more important than money（ ）42. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do _.A without examining the patient B-after he has examined the patientC if the patient doesnt take medicine D unless the patient feels pain（ ）43. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the old gentleman?A He couldnt remember things well.B He had trouble with his heart and lungs.C He had a bad cough.D He was very ill.（ ）44. The underlined part means “_”.A he was feeling bitter than ever B he wasnt a healthy manC he was feeling worse than before D he would be well soon（ ）45.
