“Get up, get up, Jim. It’s time to get up!” my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. “Oh dear! It’s quarter to eight already. I’ll be late for school again,” I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. “I’m sure I can get to the school on time,” I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus-driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, “I’m sorry, Ladies and gentlemen. There’s something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one.” “I couldn’t wait. The school is not far. I’d better run to the school,” I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering(打抖) with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I like neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated(犹豫) for a moment then I opened the door. “I’m very sorry, Mr Smith. I’m late again,” I said with a red face.
“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr Smith said angrily. I’ve told you not to be late, but you …” he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, “I’m sorry, my boys and girls.” With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now take off your wet coat and put this one on or you’ll catch a cold,” he said kindly.
I went to my seat with Mr Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!
54. Jim was late for school because _______.
A. he got up too late B. there was something wrong with the bus

A. the jacket was large enough to keep him warm B. Mr Smith took good care of him
C. he understood what Mr Smith said all the time D. physics was the most interesting
57. From the story, we can learn that ______.
A. students can’t be late for school B. students can learn better if teachers love them
C. physics is easy if you like the physics teachers D. you’ll catch cold if your clothes are wet

Some children wish to be writers some day. They mean that they want to write stories or books and that many persons will read their stories and books. I would like to remind(提醒)them that they will need to be good readers and to read a lot before they become good writers.
Nearly all great writers often listened to others, read stories long before they started to school, and have been reading for hours and hours every day since they became good readers, Instead of watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their evening time reading books.
If you are a good reader, it won't take you long to do the reading homework your teacher asks you to do. Then you will have time to read other books for pleasure. Because you read so well, you keep looking for more books to read.
When you make up your mind to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself, " I must read more and more if I am really to become a good writer."

八、短文填空 根据短文内容，在空格填入一个正确的单词形式。
It was evening. Jane, Jane’s grandfather and one of his old friends from Sweden(瑞典) were talking 69 schools.
“School is much 70 now than when I was a boy,” Grandpa said. “You children learn things today that surprise(使惊奇) me.”
“Yes, times have changed,” Mr Jensen, the old man from Sweden said. “My school had just one room. But we had good teachers. I remember that I was happy to walk five kilometers to school every day. We 71 ourselves.”
“How could you walk five kilometers to school and back?” Jane asked. “I don’t like to walk even five hundred metres!” “Most of my friends go to school by car 72 by school bus.”
“Maybe your friends are soft, Jane,” Mr Jensen said. “Too many children today ride 73 they go. This 74 good for them. Children should walk or run every day. They should run up and down the hills, on soft ground or hard ground, even on snow in winter. 75 you do this, Jane, you will find you are in good 76 . The five hundred metres to school will not seem(似乎) far at all.”
“I think that walking is as 77 as eating and 78 .” Grandpa said. “You children live in the city. But walking on city streets is better than not walking at 79 . Mr Jensen comes from Sweden. People in Sweden are famous(著名) for their good health. They often take exercise and they are good at 80 .”
“When we play, we get 81 exercises,” said Jane.
“That’s true,” said grandpa. “But you often spend part of your play time 82 TV. That’s not the way to take exercise.”
“There’s more to walking than that,” Mr Jensen said. “As you walk, you can look around you and think about 83 you see. Then you’ll have many interesting things to talk about: people, animals, trees, flowers, building—everything.”
“If you walk everywhere you can, you’ll be happier, and you’ll be stronger.” Grandpa said.
“Thank you for your advice（建议）. I’ll walk to school.” Said Jane.
