【題目】閱讀理解
Birds are becoming popular as pets. But some owners of birds don’t know how to communicate with their pets. Therefore, they don’t know what their pets need or want. Owners can learn how to read the body language of a bird, including movements of the wings, the tail and the beak(喙).
Wings
A bird can communicate with others through the use of its wings. A bird may lift or open its wings as a sign of happiness. But if the bird starts to open and to close its wings, it may express anger or pain. If a bird fails to fold its wings against its body, and instead lets them hang by its side, it may be ill.
Tail
Birds often use their tail feathers to communicate, so an understanding of this behavior will help the owners. Happiness is expressed by tail movements, such as up and down. However, if a bird fans its tail feathers out, it is usually a way to show anger.
Beak
While a bird’s beak is used mainly for eating, the bird may also communicate by using beak movements. For example, a bird may click its beak once as a greeting, and several clicks can be taken as a warning. Birds may sometimes bite, but it is often difficult to find out the reason behind this — birds bite as a way to protect their homes, to show anger or to express fear.
(1)If a bird lets its wings hang by its side, it may be .
A.happy
B.angry
C.ill
D.fearful
(2)When a bird is happy, it may NOT ___________.
A.open its wings
B.lift its head
C.move its tail up and down
D.fan its tail feathers out
(3)How many times may a bird click its beak when it wants to say hello to someone?
A.One time.
B.Two times.
C.Three times.
D.More than three times.
(4)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.A bird can give out information through its wings, tail and beak.
B.A bird will not bite if it fears.
C.A bird may warn others by clicking its beak several times.
D.A bird opens and closes its wings to express anger or pain.
(5)What is the main idea of this passage?
A.What a happy bird is like.
B.How to keep a bird as a pet.
C.How to read a bird's body language.
D.Birds are people’s friends.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

Every year in October, my school holds a swimming competition. This is a day where we all skip (跳過) a day of school, and instead spend it taking part in swimming races.

I took part in six different races. I came first in one of them! However in the other five, I came second . We also helped the younger students race, by swimming alongside them, holding them above the water and making sure they stay safe.

In this event, we compete not only for ourselves, but for our color house to win. The students are sorted(分類) into four different color houses. So we can earn(贏得) points for our success as a group, learn teamwork and do our best. These houses are Blue, Green, Red and Gold. When we are not racing, we are cheering for our friends and trying to earn extra points for our color house for good sportsmanship(運動員精神).

At the end of the day, there are two major awards. The first award is age champion. This medal is given to the boy and girl from each age group, who perform(表現(xiàn)) the best out of all the other children competing against them. The other award, and maybe the most important, is the winning color house. Different to past years, Blue won for best performance and the other houses were disappointed.

Overall, it was a fantastic and exciting day full of swimming, competition and fun that we all look forward to every year.

【1】When does the writer’s school hold the swimming competition every year?
