Part 3 Reading and Writing
Choose the best answer.
Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada. He liked his new school and made friends there, but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day, Daniel's mum left. With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away. And that's what he did.
Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through deep snow, not even watching where he was going.
Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.
A tree shook ahead. From within the branches(树枝), a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear（撕开） Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle (口鼻) against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe.
They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices. The rescue (援救) team had found them.
1. Daniel ran away from home because ______.
A．he had a big argument with his father

3.Why didn’t Daniel notice the rock that caused him to fall
A．Because it was getting dark.
B．Because the rock was hidden by snow.
C．Because he was frightened by a puma.
D．Because he was too sad to notice it.
4. Why did the puma press its muzzle against Dan and rock his head gently from time to time
A．To keep Daniel warm. B．To play with Daniel.
C．To kill Daniel. D．To keep Daniel awake.
5. What is the best title for the story

Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring.
As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (虎妈战歌) tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to d__1__ a child's potential and to make them strong, i__2__ and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to p__3__ the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says, like her, most A__4__ mothers are tigers because they believe their children can a__5__ a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really cats. They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. W__6__ soft words and understanding, they encourage their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed w__7__ others respond to a gentler hand.
To growl or to purr There is no easy answer.
Answer the questions.
If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But they are not really stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time.
The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the thing they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most ambitious(雄心勃勃的) and expensive program. Billions of dollars are spent on it every year.
Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone（跳板） for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better." said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
Sixteen countries are part of the space program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European countries.
China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
After it’s finished, more than 90 percent of the world’s population is able to see the Space Station. So keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it getting bigger.
What does ISS represent _________________________
How fast does ISS fly __________________________________
Give 2 examples of the items that are being built on the ISS. ___________,___________
China is not an ISS country, is it _____, _____.
Why do scientists build ISS _____________________
What advantage do you take over the project of ISS
