Mom said she would have to make the money herself to buy such an expensive book.Her first thought was to collect cans for recycling around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, another fourth-grader already collected cans every week.Her next idea was babysitting. But most parents would ask a high school girl to care for their children.Disappointed but still strong-minded, Jane sat at the table. Her mom came in and asked, “Hows the job hunt going?”Jane said, “Not good theres nothing left for me to do.”Her mom smiled, “Well, I have an idea. You know Ms. Smith down the street?”Jane nodded slowly. Everyone knew Ms. Smith. She lived alone with her dogs. Kids said she was at least one hundred years old and she shouted at anyone knocking at the door.Mom continued, “Well, shes broken her knee and cant walk much. She needs someone to walk her dogs. I told her you might be interested in the job.”Jane loved dogs, but could she work for a person like Ms. Smith? Her mom sensed she was uneasy and added, “”Ill come with you the first time.”Jane agreed to give it a try. That evening, Ms. Smith didnt shout once. In fact, she had a plate of cookies for her!Ms. Smiths dogs were well-behaved and excited to see Jane.Jane took the dogs for their first walk. When she brought the dogs back, she laughed and knew she had finally found the right job.51. Jane is .A. a can collector B. a fourth grader C. a young babysitter D. a high school girl52. Ms. Smith needed someone to walk her dogs because _.A. the dogs were badly-behaved B. she lived alone with themC. the dogs were too excited D. she had injured her knee53. What can we infer from the passage?A. It was easy for Jane to get the book.B. It was not realistic for Jane to find a job.C. Jane would succeed in buying the book by herself.D. Jane lost confidence when being refused the second time.CIf I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose?These experiments show how important your nose is when you taste things. Experiment 1:Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.Experiment 2:While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she wont be able to name what she is eating. Experiment 3(for the brave)Take a piece of raw onion. You dont have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion. What You FindYour nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells”, and you need your nose to “taste” them.Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you dont like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat, you wont “taste” it at all.54. Why is Experiment 3 for the brave? Because _.A. you have to eat a raw onion B. you have to press your noseC. you do the experiment alone D. you must keep your eyes open55. The passage mainly tells us _.A. why different foods can smell the same B. why some things smell better than othersC. how smell influences the way food taste D. how smell changes the way we see things56. What can we learn from the passage?A. Knowledge comes from the personal experience.B. Team work helps us to find out science secrets. C. We should have courage while doing experiments. D. We dont draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.DWords play magic. They can create pictures in our minds; they can help us express our feelings that weve been trying to hide, and like a key, words can open up locked hearts and free our souls that have been kept deep indside.When different people are reading the same passage,for example, about a scene which shows a palace at midnight, the words they read are the same, yet if they are asked to paint out whtat the scene is like in their minds, each person will have the pictures drawn differently. How they draw their palaces according to their nature appears to be views on how they see things.Although human minds are different, I do believe that somehow we have all come across mutual feelings. Stories that touch us, stories that terrify us, stories that set us free we all have tasted the pain, the fear, and the freedom because we all have feelings. I believe all of us have personalities within personalities, and by that I mean people who seem to be strong are not always that strong, they are easily hurt on the inside.Good writers, who cansmartly use the right words in their writings, will easily break through the shell of ones personality within. Great writers,who can use only the perfect words to move the personality within,will understand ones weakness or ones heart even rewrite his or her life.I want to be an excellent writer because when I read, I feel like home. Home is where my books are. When I fell scared, I read, and it becomes my candle. When I feel sad, I read, and it becomes my ceiling. When I feel lonely, I read, and it becomes my company.Home is where we leave the sadness, fear and stress behind, where we only allow happines to stay. I want to be a writer who brings such feelings to everyone to bring them home with my words.Readng is all that I need. Whenever I read, I just feel the magic that words created, leaving everything behing.57. What does the underlined word “mutual” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. differentB. strangeC. specialD. shared58.The writer uses “home” in Paragrap 5 and 6 to show _.A. a place where we live happilyB. a place where we read freelyC. a sense of belongingD. a sense of relaxing59.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

No places will keep the sadness,fear and stress away from people.60.The best title for the passage is _.A. Worderful WordsB. Excellent WritersC. Touching StoriesD.
