Jodie’s Daddy Is a Garbageman(垃圾清理工)

Mr Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbageman!”

Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.

“Silence!” Mr Swales said, “Being a garbagemen is a difficult and useful job. We should all be grateful to Jodie’s father.”

Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him the way she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”

Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn’t seem angry or hurt. “Well,” he said, “they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”

The place really smelt too bad. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don’t worry, kid. In five minute you won’t smell a thing.” said her father.

Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.

“Garbage is disgusting, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making other happy. That’s why I like being a garbageman so much.”

Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbageman daddy a big kiss(吻). She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbage-girl!”

Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents(事故) can happen easily and quickly.

One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes(洞) in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.

How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way. They must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.

（ ）66. When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______.

A. food B. beds C. rainwater D. hope

（ ）67. One family once had an accident at sea, because _______.

A. their boat met bad weather B. their boat hit a big rock and it was broken

C. none of them knew how to sail D. a fish bit holes in their boat

（ ）68. People can catch _______ for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.

A. fish and birds B. rainwater

C. both sea water and rainwater D. both A and B

（ ）69. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. The word "cookers" here means ________.

A. 厨师 B. 食物 C. 炊具 D. 大盒子

（ ）70. From the article (文章) we can know that ______.

A. It’s not interesting to sail around the world

B. Fish in the sea are so dangerous

C. we must have a strong desire（愿望）to live when we are in danger

D. Nobody knows when we will die

(D)

You want to run across the street to catch the bus which is leaving soon? But wait! You’d better not. If a policeman sees you, you’ll have to pay a fine (罚款).

New traffic laws (交通法) say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.

Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians (行人) must work together to make the streets safer.

The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.

There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.

Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fences (栅栏) along streets.

Do you ride a bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan.And stay in the bike lane (车道) when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.

Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet (头盔), ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.

Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt (安全带), even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.

If you see a hit-and –run (肇事逃逸), tell the police. They may give you a reward (奖赏). And don’t be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.

（ ）71. Don’t go across the road when _________.

A. the light is green B. the light is red

C. the bus is leaving D. traffic is busy

（ ）72. What does the word “crosswalk” mean in Chinese?

A. 过马路 B. 人行横道 C. 立交桥 D. 车行道

Dear David,

How are you? I’m writing to introduce my classmate Wang Ming to you.

Wang Ming is a 14-year-old boy. He has a square face and short hair. I like his bright smiling eyes. He is taller than me.

I think he is an honest boy. He can keep secrets for his friends and never says bad words about others. He is also humorous. He always tells me funny jokes and makes me laugh. So I never feel bored with him.

Wang Ming is crazy about DIY. He often makes or repairs things at weekends. Last Sunday, he made a model plane for me.

He would like to be a headmaster when he grows up because he wants his students to have more time for hobbies.

During this spring festival, he is planning to travel to the USA and visit the White House for himself.

I hope you can make friends with him as soon as possible. Maybe you can show him around your country at the Spring Festival.
