If we find a bird nest (巢), we will have a good place of watching and knowing about birds. Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes. So it is good to watch birds. When we watch birds, we'd better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it's better to use binoculars (双筒望远镜).

But how do we make a bird nest? A good bird nest must be very fine, strong, thick and comfortable. If you want to make one, please follow these:

a) Each nest must have six boards (木板) for its cover and floor, for its left and right sides, and for its front and back sides. Don't make the boards too slippery (滑的).

b) Dig a  small hole in the front of the nest as a "door". The "door" is big enough so birds can fly in or out easily.

c) Make sure the rainwater can't go into the nest.

d) One piece of the board should be easy to open.

e) Don't forget to colour the nest.

58. We need ______ near a bird nest if we want to watch and know about birds.

A. a good place  B. some trees   C. to sit on eggs  D. to make a bird net

59. When we're watching birds, we have to ______.

A. look after the birds more often     B. use the binoc ulars to catch the birds

C. hide ourselves to make the birds do everything as usual   D. catch the birds at last

60. We should leave a hole in the front of the nest so that ______ easily.

A. we can cle an the nest      B. birds can fly in or out

C. we can hang it       D. we can make it

The Girl From the Street

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院)knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else—to be independent(独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began working as a secretary.(秘 书)And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it.  This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.

Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” She says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.

Mary studied management(管理)at Hong Kong and graduated in 1980, She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places---China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.

The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

62. Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage, ___________.

A. She had lived with her parents whose names were not known

B. She had lived in the street for many years

C. The workers knew her well

D. She had learned to write and read by herself

63. The sentence “orphanage girl could be something” means that orphanage girls could be_________.

A. popular and successful            B. understood by others

C. Miss Hong Kong                D. known to everybody

64. This passage is probably taken from___________.

A. a newspaper     B. a science magazine      C. a history textbook       D. a n ovel

65. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. All the children at the orphanage liked Mary.     B. Mary was not happy as a secretary.

C. Mary’s boyfriend was good at English.       D. Mary’s life in the orphanage was difficult.

Tom went to the USA during the summer holiday. He took a summer course in English. He went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th. When he was in New York, he lived with an American family. The course was also very good. The teachers taught them to listen, speak, read and write in English. One interesting thing he found was that the American classes are different from our classes because they are quite free. They can sit anywhere they like in the classroom. They can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class. And the student is welcome to share his ideas with the class. Tom really liked this kind of class.
