The writer’s main purpose for writing this article was to . A. advise kids not to try out for a school team B. tell about exciting moments on sports fields C. make people believe all kids should play team sports D. share his opinions of playing team sports with readersC Ever since we became pen pals, Julien has sent me strange things. Once, she sent her sneeze in a jar. (“I have a cold, can you tell? she wrote.) Then she sent her fingerprint. (“So you’ll recognize me in a crowd. ) Julien sent me breakfast, all right: cornflakes. Soggy, milky, grainy, crumbly, limp cornflakes scraped from the bottom of her cereal bowl. I lost my appetite, but I read the letter.Dear Caitlin,These cornflakes were so nutritious that I wanted to share this high-fiber, low-sodium, just-three-calories, balanced breakfast with you.Enjoy,JulienP.S. Next week I’m sending you a sunset. “She’s mistaken, I told my mom. “No one can send a sunset, not even Julien. It’s impossible. “I don’t know, Mom said. “Julien might find a way. After all, she did send you her sneeze. A week later I checked the mail and found a box with air holes and the words “FRAGILE―THIS SIDE UP printed in bold black letters on the top. It was from Julien.I stroked the box with my fingers. It was perfectly dry. I smelled it. It didn’t smell. I held my breath and started opening the package. What if sunbeams spring out and hit me in the face like those fake snakes in a can; I thought? My hands shook as I lifted the last flap and peeked inside. Where in the world was the sunset? All I could find was a letter and a twisty, gray, papery shell. It looked like a submarine. I read the letter.Dear Caitlin,The sunsets at my house are so beautiful that I had to give you a piece. I counted at least five different colors in one yesterday. Can you find more?Hugs and smoochies,Julien I looked again at the gray shell. That’s no sunset, I thought. “You must mean the submarines at your house, Julien, I said. Without reading the postscript, I laid the letter and the submarine on the kitchen table. Then I left the room to find a pen so that I could cross out “sunset and write “submarine above it. When I returned, I stared in shock at the submarine. A creature was oozing out of it! Was it a sea monster? I looked closer. It was a winged creature-an insect-a butterfly. An orange, blue, purple, red, and gold butterfly. It looked like-a sunset! While the sunset opened and closed its wings to dry them, I read Julien’s postscript. It said, “P.S. Next week I’m sending you Japan. 查看更多

         According to Gerry Smith and Shaun Belding, writers of three books on dealing with people who make
troubles at the office, how you get on with the people described below can improve the working environment
for everyone.
        (1)People who blame (指責(zé)) others including (包括) you
          Call them on it by saying, "Why is it always someone else's fault (錯(cuò)誤)?" They may laugh over what

          Don't put up with it. Say coolly but firmly (堅(jiān)定地), "Please wait while I finish talking."

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”

He gave me a new check-book. “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since.

    I am an eighth-grade student at Central Middle School. In my three years at the school, I have played soccer, basketball, and baseball. I love sports and really enjoy being part of a team. Playing on our school sports teams has been the best part of middle school for me. I know I’m lucky that  I’ve had this opportunity.

    Some kids have not been so lucky. In fact, many kids who love sports don’t have the chance to play on a school team. That’s because, to make a team, you have to try out. The idea is that kids who are good at sports will do well in tryouts and make the team. But what about the kids who don’t do well during tryouts? Maybe they are ill that day, or nervous, or are just having a bad day, so they don’t play their best. They don’t make the team, and that is too bad.

    Also, there are kids who really don’t have the skills to play well. They never make a team, and that isn’t fair either. How will kids ever learn the skills if they don’t have a chance to play ? Remember, this is school and students are here to learn. All kids should have the chance to learn sports skills and teamwork by playing on a school sports team.

    There are other reasons why every student should have the chance to play sports. Sports are important for good health and fitness. They help kids feel good about themselves and their school. They build friendships among teammates. Coaches are good role models, and students who play team sports learn good sportsmanship. And, most important, team sports are fun! Players have fun playing, and their parents have fun watching and cheering for the team. So, sports bring kids and parents together, too.

     By now you know how I feel. Every kid who wants to play on a school sports team should have the chance. These teams are for fun and fitness—they’re not professional teams ! Let’s change the rules for making a team. Let’s get rid of tryouts. Let’s give every student at Central Middle School the chance to wear a team uniform.

1. How many kinds of sports has the writer played in the three years at school?

   A. Two.           B. Three.           C. Four.           D. Five.

2. The writer believes that tryouts are ____________.

   A. fun            B. hard             C. useful          D. unfair

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the fourth paragraph?

   A. Sports bring kids and parents together.

   B. Sports build friendships among teammates.

   C. Sports help kids feel good about themselves.

   D. Sports are fun and make students study better.

4. The writer’s main purpose for writing this article is to____________.

   A. advise kids not to try out for a school team

   B. tell about exciting moments on sports fields

   C. make people believe all kids should play team sports

   D. share his opinions of playing team sports with readers

     Do you enjoy wearing Levi's blue jeans? Blue jeans have become popular all over the world, but
do you know how they got started?
     Levi Strauss was born in Germany in the mid-1800's and immigrated (移居) to the Unit ed States
as a  young man.  He lived in New York City and learned the drygoods business for several years.
In 1853 he took his knowledge and his dreams to San Francisco (California, USA). His dream to
succeed came true over the next 20 years as he became a very successful businessman.
     Many of Levi Strauss' customers were cowboys and miners. They needed clothing that was strong
and lasting. Strauss found a special cloth from France that was comfortable and lasted a long time. It
was called "serge and mines" which was later shortened to the word "denim (粗棉布)".
     Another man named Jacob Davis bought large amounts of the denim cloth from Levi Strauss.
He was a tailor who made pants for hard-working men. One of his customers was continually tearing
the pockets off his pants. So Jacob Davis decided to put rivets (鉚釘) on certain parts of the pants
to make them stronger.  The customer loved the new pants so much that he told all his friends, and soon.
Jacob Davis was busy making lots of pants with rivets.
     Jacob Davis soon realized that using rivets was a great business idea, and he didn't want anybody
to steal that idea.  He'decided that he would need to get a patent.  But being a poor tailor, he didn't
have  money to pay for the patent. After thinking it over, he went to the businessman Levi Strauss and
told him   his idea.  He said, "If you agree to pay for the patent, we will share the profits from the riveted
pants.  " Levi Strauss did agree, and the new riveted pant business was called Levi Strauss and Company.
Today  Levi's jeans are more popular than ever, and Levi's name continues to live in.

A.  he must get the help of Levi Strauss
B. his idea is good and he can do it easily
