Long long ago, there lived two girls named Emily and Tina. Both of them had long black hair and blue eyes. One day while they were playing in the back yard (庭院), Emily heard a tinkling (叮當(dāng)) sound. She jumped up. “Listen,” she told her twin. They listened. The noise came again.

This time Tina heard it. She sat up. “It came from over there,” She whispered, looking at the zinnias (魚(yú)尾菊) far away. They came near to find it out. Then something flew out, making the same tinkling sound they had heard before. The children looked at one another. “Was it a bee?” asked Tina. “I don’t think so,” replied Emily. “Do bees make a sound like bells?” “Let’s call it the Tinkle Bee anyway,” said Tina. Emily nodded, listening with a little difficulty. What had made that noise?

    The next day, Emily and Tina brought their cookies outside. Tina took her plate by the zinnias. Suddenly she caught something. “Emily!” she called. “I’ve got the Tinkle Bee!” Emily rushed over. They sat down on the grass. Tina opened her hand very carefully. There was that sound! Something was shining in Tina’s hand. They smiled. Then Emily cried, “It’s a fairy (仙女)!” Tina looked down at it in her hand. It looked like a girl. A tiny girl with wings! Tina dropped it before she noticed that a wing was torn (撕裂). The little fairy could not fly away so she took a piece of grass out of the ground and sat on it.

Emily and Tina were surprised at what they saw. The fairy turned to Emily and said, “Hello, I am Marabella.” Then she said again, “Marabella the Fairy.” Emily smiled. “I’m Emily,” she said. Tina said, “I’m Tina. Are you really a fairy?” “Oh, yes!” replied Marabella. “I’ve always been a fairy.”

1.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “tiny” in this passage?

A. Weak.               B. Nice.         C. Little.                    D. Sick.

2.How did the sound come out?

A. A bee behind the zinnias made the sound.        

B. It came out from the fairy’s flying.

C. It came out when the fairy shouted for help.       

D. The bell by the zinnias rang.

3.What does the passage mainly tell us?

The Way That Some Last Name Started

　　You have a first name to tell you who you are. You have a last name to tell which family you are from.

　　But a long, long time ago, people didn't have last names. Later they had to invent last names because there were too many Charlies, too many Roberts, and too many Marys. People started to ask, which Charlie? Which Robert? Which Mary?

　　So if a Charlie was a carpenter(木匠), he became Charlie Carpenter. If a Robert was a son of Peter, he became Robert Peterson. If a Mary lived near the woods, she became Mary Woods.

　　This is the way that some last names started long, long ago.

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near one another, so the first village was established. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正(T)誤(F)。

1.People moved from place to place to hunt animals.

2.The story says,“No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed.” In this sentence, the word “they” means people.

3. When machines appeared, life in the cities changed again.

4. All people like to live only in very big cities.

5. People built factories after the cities grew big.

     On a cold winter day, a fox told Mother Bear that he would teach her how to fish. For she wanted to
learn, he took her to a hole in the ice, and told her to put her tail(尾巴) down into the water.
     He told her to keep the tail there for a long time. Then when she pulled the tail out of the water, she
would find fish around the tail.
     The bear was foolish enough to believe what the fox said. She sat for a long time with her tail in the
water. She was waiting for the fish. But when she tried to pull her tail out of the water she found that it
