The son asked, "What do water and grass look like, Mum?"His mother answered, "Water looks like the sky, blue and clear.While grass is green, fresh and nice." After they walked for a day and a night, the son suddenly cried, "Look!Mum,there is water and grass over there!" "What a foolish talk,my boy!" The water and grass were on the left,while the desert was on the right.But because the mother camel was blind( )in her left eye,she could only see a sea of yellow sand with her right eye.So she didn't believe what the young camel said. The next day they went on walking ,the young camel found a second _ ,but his mother still did not believe him. She said angrily, "No,that's not an oasis,but a desert.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Dear Santa, Thank you for all of the great gifts you give me this Christmas. My parents can't seem to decide whether you gave the presents directly, or if you just helped them and my grandma pick out the right presents. So, if you are advising her, please tell her next year that I do not own a Wii. I don't remember asking you for so many pairs of pants, but thank you for giving me the chance to try them on in the front of my whole family. I enjoyed them so much that I continued to wear them, with the tags still on. My mom and the holiday movies are always quick to remind me that Christmas isn't about the presents. It's about togetherness. But without the presents, there's nothing to do to fill up this long, long day. So I think Christmas is about the presents, and I'm sure you agree. If you do, I have some suggestions about ways that you could make the present part of the day last longer: using packing tape to wrap presents instead of Scotch tape . It took, like, ten minutes to open just one present. My final suggestion is pretty simple: more presents! If it took the whole day to open all of the presents, then I wouldn't have that terrible time, because my mom says it's wrong to go play video games in my room, but there's nothing else to do outside of my room. Anyway, thank you again and I look forward to seeing you next Thanksgiving. It's an iTunes gift card for you and hope you like it. Merry Christmas! Question: Why does the writer suggest using packing tape to wrap presents? Options: A: Because packing tape can make presents hard to open. B: Because packing tape can make presents more beautiful. C: Because packing tape can make presents last long. D: Because packing tape is cheap.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: It was the Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind. In 2008, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time. Unluckily, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I was new in London, I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to talk with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the bed for two days, I went out to get some food. Usually, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer. I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, 'You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right?' I said YES in a low voice. She pointed at the salami and bread I was buying and offered, 'I can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself.' I nodded without saying a word. So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup. 'It will warm you up,' she said with a friendly smile. What really warmed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared me. Her kindness made me think of my mother. I was quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness stop me from talking with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children's hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them. Question: What happened to the writer? Options: A: He lost his part-time jobs. B: He had a talk with his friends. C: He got a cold and had a very high fever. D: He was not popular at his school.
