But when I carry a walking-stick, people say, 'Look at that poor old man', and I don't like that. When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, 'Look at that stupid (傻的) man.'” 54.

What's the meaning of “walking-stick“? A.枝条B.拐杖C.小车D.手推车 C “ I will think of it. ” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽机 ) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “ Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (钟表的主发条 )? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右铭 ) was “ I will think of it.”And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world. Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don t lose heart, and don t ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose. 58From the passage, we know that some great things come from _.

Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose D Nihal is a high-school athlete( 运动员 ). With the tiring training, he always feels tired and worn out on game days. He wants to know if there is something he can eat before a game that will keep him energetic without slowing him down. Many young athletes have the same question as him. The overall diet may be slowing you down on game day. During tiring training, it's quite possible that you're not eating enough calories to make up the ones you're using up. One sign that you're not getting enough calories is weight losing. During training, as always, it's necessary to eat a balanced diet and not cut one of meals to make sure you're getting enough nutrients (营养物 ) and keeping energy levels. An excellent meal or snack before games will have lots of carbs (碳 水化合物 ) , some protein ( 蛋白质 ) , and very little, if any, fat and fiber (纤维). Fat and fiber are important parts of a balanced diet, but may lead to pains of stomach during exercise. Try a sandwich with some meat and a piece of your favorite fruit. The carbs will give you energy at once and the protein will give you some energy later in the game. No matter which snack you go with before games, remember to hydrate ( 水 合 作 用 ) before, during, and after your game for best performance. Of course, being tired on game day can be a sign of not getting enough sleep. Most children need at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night. 62. What is Nihal's problem? A. He hates the tiring practice schedule B. He's always tired and worn out on game days. C. He wants to eat something to slow down. D. He wants to lose weight. 63. How do we know a person doesn't get enough calories? A. He's slowing down. B. He's full of energy. C. He's thinner than before. D. He feels tired during training. 64. What should an excellent meal have before games? A. It should have little fat and fiber, much carbs and some protein. B. It should have a Little carbs, some protein and lots of fat and fiber. C. It should have lots of protein, some carbs and little fat and fiber. D. It should have lots of carbs, protein, fat and fiber. 65. What will give you energy later in the game? A. Fat and fiber. B. A sandwich. C. The carbs. D. The protein. 五、词汇运用（共10 小题；每小题 1 分，计 10 分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空（每空一 词） 66.All the _ _names are on the paper. You can have a look. (swim) 67.

Today I ll give a talk about going online. We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的） . Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we can send e-mails to our friends，they can get them at once. It can help us communicate( 交流)with people from all over the world. But some students spend too much time playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don t study well any more. I think we mustn t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents. At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
