My family has a tradition of holding garage sales(旧货出售)．On a Saturday afternoon back in 2002，just when my aunt Lorraine was starting to pack up，I discovered my very own treasure—a pair of black boots．Although they weren’t anything fashionable，they caught my eye．Plus they were only two dollars．She noticed me eyeing them up and said I could have them for fifty cents.

Even better! I thought to myself as I pulled them on．They were the perfect fit．

When I handed over the money，little did I know that these boots would accompany me on some of my greatest adventures．Each year I make a journey overseas and that year，I was making arrangements to visit Helsinki(the capital of Finland)，so naturally，I packed the boots．It was winter，but the boots protected my feet from the cold weather．I wore them everywhere．The boots even accompanied me as I walked through the night to find live music．I felt right at home among old friends．

In 2009，I went to Aunt Lorraine’s home to attend my cousin Jason’s birthday party．While we were talking，Jason stared at my boots．

He asked, “Where did you get those boots?’’

“I bought them at your family’s garage sale，’’I responded．

Jason f1ew into a rage．“Mum! You sold my boots? I bought them in Milan and I’ve worn them through New York，London，Berlin and Paris,” he shouted．

After a silence，however，he laughed and said，“Thanks a lot，Mum!’’We spent the rest of the evening sharing memories of the journeys we’d both had wearing the same pair of boots．

The boots are no longer fit for wear，but I have held on to them as a memento(纪念物)of the last decade，the places we have walked and the memories we now share．

Have you ever considered the question: why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? The answer is that their colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect the animals themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees’.

Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

29. From the passage we can learn that locusts________.

A. are small animals B. are dangerous to their enemies

C. change their colors to protect themselves D. are easily found by birds

30. How can pests with different colors from plants keep themselves out of danger?

A. They hide themselves by the day and appear at night

B. They have the colors much like their enemies’.

C. They run away quickly. .

D. They have to move quietly.

31. Bears and lions can keep safe because _________.

A. they have the colors much like the trees B. they move quietly

C. they like brown and gray colors D. they live in forests

32. Which is the best title for this passage?

A. The Change of Colors for Animals and Pests

B. Colors of Different Animals and Pests

C. Some Animals and Pests

D. The Main Use of Colors for Animals and Pests

D

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than those people who don't. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

33．The first paragraph tells us ________.

A．none needs friends B．we need to be alone

C．we always need friends around us

D．making friends is the need in people's life

34．If people have friends, they would live longer, because ________.

A．they feel happier and healthier

B．they get a lot of help from their friends

C．they take better care of themselves

D．both A and C

35．This passage tells us ________.

A．that people are all friendsB．that people need friends

C．how to get to know friendsD．how to name a place

Dear Susan，

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new school life in America, but this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.

Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you take an active part in all kinds of activities, which will help to make life more interesting. By doing so, you will be happier with your new life soon.

I hope you will find these ideas useful.

Yours，Li Hua
