A
Which one is coming next after 2008, Beijing? Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympic Games will be held.
Hosting (主办) is no easy work. But it's a good opportunity (机会) for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.
Two years ago, .cities which were interested in hosting the Olympic Games enrolled (登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the IOC (国际 奥委会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour (荣誉) .
On May 18, 2004, after careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities—Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid (马德里) and New York—to be the hopeful cities.
Since'February, the IOC has visited these five cities to hear each city's report on how they will host the Olympic Games.
Want to know the result? Some people guess that Paris will be the winner. London and New York could only show plans for gyms (场馆) which will be built for the Olympic Games. But Paris showed its excellent gym that was built for the 1998 Football World Cup.
But Paris could have a problem this time. The city ran against Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games. At that time the IOC members thought that French people were too proud and so they did not win.
But don't rush to give an answer. Wait until July 6. On that day in Singapore (新加坡) the IOC will tell the world which city is going to be the next Olympic Games host. Before that, nobody can be sure.
51. According to (根据) the passage, it is NOT possible at all for ________ to
host the 2012 Olympic Games.
A. the USA B. Japan C. France D. Britain
52. Why docs a country want to host the Olympic Games?
A. Because hosting the Olympic Games is easy.
B. Because hosting the Olympic Games is an honour.
C Because all the countries take turns to host the Olympic Games,
D. Because a country can get plenty of money from the IOC.
53. Why do some people guess that Paris will be the winner?
A. Because people there are very proud.
B. Because Paris is the most beautiful city of all.
C. Because Paris has got an excellent gym.
D. Because Paris is the richest city of all.

Unlike the other parts of the body, your ears don't ask for much. They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they really need some special, care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones (耳机).
Maybe your mum or dad has told you, "Turn that down before you go deaf (耳聋)!" Well, they are quite right. Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even for ever.
Think that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents' eyes?
Well, it may not be as good a way as you think. American doctors have studied a group of 4 490 people who used earphones more than 15 hours every week. The doctors found that 3 730 of them were getting hearing problems.
If you use earphones too long, your ears may feel painful. You may also lose your hearing for the rest (其余的) of your life.
So don't wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day.
Want good hearing? Don't forget to do the following:
●Try to stay away from places with too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs (耳塞).
●When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.
● Never put anything sharp (尖的) into your ear. If you think you have too much earwax (耳屎) , ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.
Please remember these things! Then you won't be saying "WHAT???" when you are older.
54. Which of the following may harm our ears?
A. Always having the earphones on.
B. Putting earplugs into the ears when we swim. C Staying away from loud sounds.
D. Leaving a little earwax in the ears.
55. What does the writer tell us to do if we have too much earwax?
A. Go to the doctor.
B. Ask our parents for help.
C. Get it out by using something sharp.
D. Leave it as it is.
56. The passage mainly (主要地) tells us________.
A. how to use earphones
B. how to keep away from loud noise
C. how to take care of ears
D. how to solve hearing problems

C. Neither good nor bad. D. Excellent.
58. Why did the rabbit have to leave school?

八、 Dear Wang Fei,
I'm glad you are interested in the English Corner. I'd like to tell you something about it.
Last month we had the English Corner on Friday afternoons in the library of our school. Not only a few students but also two teachers took part in it. Some of us read English books and newspapers. Some of us practiced spoken English. The teachers also taught us English songs.
Since I took part in the English Corner, my spoken English has improved. Now I'm able to speak English in front of the class. And I find it not so difficult to learn English as before.
