“Ants.”
“What are they doing？”
“No __19__.”
“I bet they're playing games and making friends. Don't you think so？”

the clouds，
my little niche(处境)—until it was sunset.
Then suddenly，
she saw my __21__. She just stared.
My heart __22__. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would __23__ me now.
She stood up，
pointed at my back and said，
“I know __24__ your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be __25__. I begged in my heart for her to __26__，
but she just kept on going. “I know what you've got there. Do you？”
“No，” I answered __27__.
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was __28__. I looked into her eyes and her __29__ touched my heart. From that day on，

Ⅲ.阅读理解
“Tweenager” is the new term being used in the UK to describe kids at either 8－12 or 10－13 years old.
More and more companies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers.The Disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents.You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers，
to monthly fan magazines and clothing.It’s all about sales，
which suggests that tweenagers must have more money，
freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.
Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago.Parents have more money to give their kids than previously，
since parents are having fewer children.In addition，
the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to，
so many parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children.It’s a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into，
but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the pleas of their children.
UK kids today are very media and computer literate.A lot of kids have a TV，
if not a computer，
in their bedrooms.They have access to much more information about life and the world.They may have experienced a lot in life as well，
since 24% of UK kids live in singleparent families，
so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”.With such maturity at such a young age，
it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.
UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes.That’s changed.Now，
they
are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image.Many tweenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious.
Surely none of the above is a good thing.The UK government is certainly concerned，
and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly marketing their products and services at children.
31．Why are more products and services created for tweenagers？
A．Because children education is becoming more important.
B．Because children have more money to buy them.
C．Because it is better to study music from an early age.
D．Because more companies are creating products and services.
32．Kids today can get more money partly because ________.
A．parents always accompany their kids
B．parents have more expectation of kids
C．more and more parents divorce nowadays
D．kids know how to make money
33．Tweenagers have more freedom due to the following facts EXCEPT that ________.
A．their parents cannot influence them any more
B．they know more information than kids before
C．they become mature at a younger age
D．they have a lot of experience in life
34．What is the purpose of the passage？
A．To teach a new word “tweenager”.
B．To introduce a new phenomenon.
C．To urge parents to care about their kids.
D．To blame today’s young people.

.One possible version：
March 22, 2011MondaySunny
Today is World Water Day. In the morning, we had a class meeting talking about what to do on this special day. Finally, we reached an agreement and immediately began to make preparations for the afternoon’s activities.
At 2：00 pm, we went to the neighboring community to hand out leaflets, calling on people to save water. Around 3 o’clock, the expert we invited made an excellent speech on the current water crisis in China. He talked about the draught in the southeast and the severe shortage of water in our city. The speech had a strong appeal to all the people present, including me.
After the speech, we had a discussion with our neighbors about various ways of saving water in our daily life. I suggested turning off the tap water immediately after using, and a granny came up with the idea of reusing the water from kitchen. For example, the water which we have used for washing fruits and vegetables can be used to water flowers and so on.
Today, I have had a better understanding of the importance of saving water and really learned a lot about saving water.
