The planets aren’t the only wanderers(漫游者) of the sky. There’re some things even farther and longer. Long after people were no longer afraid of planets, they still thought the comets(彗星) were bad objects that traveled in the sky. They were afraid that the comets would suddenly land on the earth and hurt them.
But, in fact, even if a comet did hit the earth, nothing much happened. A comet is really a harmless （無害的）thing.
Comets have round heads and long tails , and they are very bright. Sometimes they look like heads with long hair flying with them. That’s why they’re called comets. Comet means long-haired.
Like the stars and planets, comets are far away. But we can know its size. The head of a small comet is as wide as the Pacific Ocean. And a big comet’s head is ten times as big as the earth. Its tail is millions of kilometers long. Then why wouldn’t the great big thing hurt us if it hit the earth? Because it isn’t solid. It’s thin like cloud. Its tail is nothing but bright gas. And its head is made of small pieces and they could not hurt the earth.
Some comets can be seen for a few months. Then they go away. Some of them come back in a certain number of years. Some are never seen again.
Perhaps these comets that never return have broken into pieces. For some astronomers  think that shooting stars(流星) are pieces of broken comets.
小題1:People were afraid ________.
A．comets are different from planets
B．comets travel in the sky
C．comets are much bigger than the earth
D．comets could hit the earth
小題2:Comets have long tail like ________, so we call them comets.
A．long hairB．round headsC．round dishesD．wide wings
小題3:From the passage we know the tails of comets are made of  ________.
A．waterB．solidC．gasD．small stones
小題4:The underlined word “astronomers” may mean ________ in Chinese.
A．心理學(xué)家B．藝術(shù)家C．天文學(xué)家D．考古專家
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE ?
A．A comet is a kind of planets.
B．Comets are all ten times as big as the earth.
C．People can hardly see comets.
D．Shooting stars may come from the broken comets.

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.
You do not have to be spineless (優(yōu)柔寡斷的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正當(dāng)行為). But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.
You cannot expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心喪氣的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺點(diǎn)) and have to fight against them.
At the same time, it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.
小題1:One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to __________.
A．work hard at everything we do
B．enjoy the best share of everything
C．look for treasure in order to be successful
D．pay more attention to their strong points
小題2:If a person wants to be popular, he or she has to __________.
A．be polite and friendly
B．give up some rights
C．get away arguing with other people
D．be ready to change his or her character
小題3:There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she __________.
A．is modest and generous
B．is selfish and lazy
C．does not draw a lesson from his or her own fault
D．is very happy with unpleasant quality
小題4:The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to __________.
A．train you to be perfect
B．show you the way to be happy
C．tell you how to act when you dislike a person
D．teach you how to be popular among your friends

A few years ago, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.
As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.
Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.
We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.
In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage（行李）, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.
The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends-let them find you instead. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal (信號) given three times is a call for help. 
Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will 
give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help. 
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches
