Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Each of us would like to be trusted by parents, because we all want to get freedom. Parents are more likely to give us our freedom if they trust us. If you want your parents to trust you more, you have to show them through your actions. Let your parents know what's going on at school and with your friends. If you truly can be trusted, then you have nothing to hide, right? Keep your bedroom door open when you are back. Do not be crazy when they see what you are looking at on the Internet. Invite your friends to your house to meet your parents. When you do something wrong, it can break trust. Broken trust takes a long time to rebuild. It's not easy dealing with your parents when you've broken their trust. But, it can be done. It's not talking about groveling and sweet-talking them into trust. I'm talking about getting them to respect you again. I find it easy to make the mistake of no telling my parents things I've done wrong, hoping they won't find out. There are lots of reasons: I don't want to get into trouble; I don't want them to be disappointed or get mad at me; I don't want to lose their trust; I don't think they will ever find out. And the list goes on and on. But they find out somehow, and then you're in hot water. Of course, even if Mom and Dad never find out, you still know about. Most parents will respect you more for coming to them and telling them yourself. Doing so shows honesty, responsibility and maturity . If you can't tell them face to face, you can try writing a note. Trust can't be built in a day or even a week, but you can gradually do things to help your parents build trust in you. Question: Which of the following is TRUE? Options: A: It's easy for children to tell their parents the things they have done wrong. B: The parents will respect and trust you more if you tell them yourself. C: Trust can be built soon if children make mistakes. D: Parents never believe their children if trust is broken.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Everybody may have seen the film "Death on the Nile (n. )", but nobody can imagine that the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way. In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously ill that a team of doctors hurried to examine the baby without delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the baby's illness and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them. "I think the baby is suffering from thallium (n. ) poisoning. " said the nurse. "A few days ago, I read a story 'A Pale Horse' written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the baby's." "You're very good at observing things," said a doctor, "and you may be right. We'll carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not." The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew the cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville A week later, it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (n. ) used in Deleville. Question: The baby was sent to a hospital in London because _ . Options: A: her parents were living in London then B: the hospitals in Deleville were full at that time C: she was the daughter of a famous doctor in London D: doctors in Deleville were not sure about the cause of her illness

Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Although English is not as 0old as Chinese it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham ? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English. But they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef ,they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We came from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like what the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Today "hamburgers" are sold in many countries around the world. Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary. Question: According to the story, _ . Options: A: few Americans like hamburgers B: hamburgers are made with beef C: hamburgers are made with ham D: Hamburgers were sold all over the world about a century ago.
