A few minutes ago,walking back from lunch,I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping.As I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too.
The sound of a coin dropping on the ground is an attention-getter. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores*the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.
We are circled by so many sounds that attract the most attention.People in New York City seldom turn to look when a police car comes ringing along the street.
When I'm in New York, I'm a New Yorker. I don't turn either. I hardly hear a siren there.
At home in my little town in Connecticut*, it's different.The distant ringing of a police car brings me to my feet if I’m in bed.
It's the quietest sounds that the most effect on us,not the loudest.In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors.How come I never hear the sounds in the daytime?
I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and the bad sounds are.
I’ve turned against whistling*,for instance.I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker.But lately,I’ve been connecting*the whistler with a nervous person making noises. The tapping*of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a

lovely sound to me.I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.But whatever sounds there will be,and whether we love them or not,we can’t break away from them in our life. 29. The sound of a coin dropping made people ______. A. think of getting rich B. look at each other C. pay attention to it D.stop crossing the street 30. People in New York ______. A.don’t pay attention to the ringing of a police car B.sleep early at night C.are attracted by sounds D.don’t hear loud noises 31. The writer doesn’t like whistling because ____________. A.he is tired of it B.he used to be happier C.it lets him think of a nervous man making noises D.he doesn’t like workers 32.The writer ___________________. A.sleeps next to the window B.comes from a small town in Connecticut C.is interested in the ringing of a police car D.likes to try find dropped coins C Almost all people like flowers.Some people like flowers because of their smells,shapes,colors and so on.Others like flowers because they think different flowers mean different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean\more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers which say something about their countries' spirit. In 1994, China talked about choosing a national flower. Some people liked the peony*but others liked the plum blossom*. They couldn't agree with each other. So it has not been decided yet. People like to buy different flowers in different seasons. Where do all the beautiful flowers in shops come from? They may come from far away, so their price is higher. a. Farmers grow flowers in their fields.
b. Planes or trains or buses take the flowers to different places.
c. Flower shopkeepers buy flowers from the flower markets. They look at the flowers and throw away the broken or bad ones. They cut the flowers to make them more beautiful.
d. You go to buy the flowers in the shops. When you buy a flower, you're paying lots of people: the farmer, the driver of the plane or train or bus. The seller in the flower market and the flower shopkeeper.
So you'd better keep your flowers from far away for a long time. But how? Why not dry them? It's easy! Sand drying is a way. Dry, clean sand is one of the oldest things for drying flowers. And it's one of the cheapest. ● Fill a box half-way with sand. ● Put the flowers on top of the sand. ● Put the box in a warm, dry place.
● Leave the flowers there for one to three weeks. ● Take them out and they will be dry.
33. The underlined words \flowers\most probably means ________.
A. the flowers of the country B. the flowers of the season C. the most beautiful flowers D. the strongest flowers
34. People usually choose their own \flower\
according to the flower's ________.

A. no flower can show China's spirit B. China hasn't talked about choosing one
C. nobody agrees to choose the national flower D. people can't agree to choose the same flower
36.Sand drying is everything here in the following but_______. A.easy B.clean C.old D.cheap D
In 1826,a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business.But he was not a good artist.So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike. Photography also became a kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other kinds of art.

Recently I’ve had a discussion with my teachers about whether or not we should keep on running in the mornings after the physical test.
All of our teachers think we should stop running in the mornings.They think we have less time for study.Also,the weather is becoming hotter and hotter.To make things worse,they think we students may get injured easily while running.
However,I don’t agree with them.I know they care more about our study.But in my opinion,health is the most important thing.Running in the morning can not only keep our bodies strong but can also make us study better and better.Nobody can study well if he or she has a weak-body.In a word,it’s necessary for us to keep on running after taking the physical test.
