In American schools there is something called the Home-coming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a home-coming game. This can be the most important event（事件）of the year. Students plan the Home-coming Day for many weeks.

A few days before Home-coming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Home-coming twenty or thirty years after their graduation(畢業(yè)).

The members of school clubs build booths（攤位）and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.

During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band（樂隊(duì)）comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is the moment when the Home-coming Queen or King appears. All the students choose a most popular student the Home-coming Queen or King. It is a great honour（榮幸）to be chosen.

The Home-coming Day is a happy day. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy it. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone, it is a day they will always remember.

I heard the bees long before I saw them.

It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small hill toward the water, my boyfriend John started to shout, and then jumped into the water. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped(被困住).

I heard a low hum (嗡嗡聲), the group of bees looked like a heavy smoke. As it got closer, I knew it was in fact a lot of bees flying towards me.

All I could do was to cover my face with my hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat still (不動(dòng)) , the bees would think I was just another rock.

After a few seconds, I knew my plan didn't work. The bees attacked (襲擊) me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.

But it wasn't so easy. The only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I didn’t want to do that at first because my face would be unprotected(不受保護(hù)). The noise of bees made me worried, but I could do nothing.

I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool. I was just so happy to be free from the pain.

But we still weren't out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid (避免）the bees till they finally lost interest.

1.The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to (指)_______.

A. a rock B. the group of bees

C. a hill D. the river

2.At first why didn't the writer want to climb down the rocks?

A. She was afraid she would fall.

B. She was too far away from the pool.

C. She thought the bees would follow her.

D. She didn't want her face to be unprotected.

3.How did the writer escape (逃離) from the bees?

A. She covered her face with her hands.

B. She hid behind the rocks.

C. She jumped into a water pool.

D. She made herself look like a rock.

4.In what order are the following mentioned in the story?

a. The writer rushed down the rock.

b. John jumped into the water.

c. The low hum got closer.

d. The bees flew back over their heads.

e. The bees attacked the writer.

A. bcead B. baecd

Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves. If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds.

So how can one get these kids interested in science? This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from things that people no longer want or need!

Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars.

But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials.

Mr. Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles(科學(xué)原理), so that children could get interested in this interesting subject.

When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos.

Today, over 50,000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. Some young children have become so inspired (鼓舞)that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.
