Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.
　 It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among them on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members.

　Kelly’s favorite subject is P.E. But she has a hard time in P.E. class. She is not good at jumping very far, she has trouble throwing a ball, and she can’t run really fast. Sometimes, some kids make

fun of (取笑) her. So why does Kelly love P.E. class?

The reason is that her teacher Mr. Burns always tells her to do her best. Though she only runs for a few minutes, Mr. Burns says, “Good job! Next time you will be able to go a little longer.” Mr. Burns even put a small box on the floor so Kelly would be able to practice jumping over it.

That night when Kelly finished dinner, she put three boxes and began practicing jumping over them. She made it! Kelly thought to herself, “Tomorrow I will be able to jump over those boxes in P.E. class.”

And sure enough, Kelly jumped over three boxes in class the next day. The other kids said to her, “Good job!”

There was a relay race (接力赛) on Tuesday. Kelly was scared that she would not be able to go very far. But when Mr. Burns said, “Ready! Set! Go!”, Kelly thought to herself, “I can do it.” When Kelly ran around the track (跑道), she heard many cheers and kids shouting, “Go Kelly! You can do it!” That was all she needed to hear. Kelly ran fast. She finished first! The kids cheered for her. Kelly felt so good. “Thank you Mr. Burns,” said Kelly. “Kelly, you ran the race, not me.” “Yes, but you always said I could do it.”

What is color? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue?
　　Colors are really made by reflected (反射) light. We see color because most of the things reflect light. Something is red, for it reflects most of the red light. In the same way, if something is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all light, it is white. If it doesn’t reflect any light, it is black.
　　Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in(吸收)and turned into heat(热能).The darker the color is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sun than light-colored(浅色的) clothes.
56.When something reflects light, we can_______.
　　A. see its color B. see its heat. C. not see its color
57.Something looks white because it reflects______.
　　A. some light B. no light C. all light

　A. dark-colored clothes B. red-colored clothes C. light-colored clothes

Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ, is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve, people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Children believe Santa Claus, with the other name of Father Christmas, will come during the night and fill their stockings with Christmas presents.
　　Actually, Father Christmas is children’s father. He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into children’s bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When children are no longer young, they know who Father Christmas really is.
　　Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early on the morning of Christmas Day, children wake their parents up and say “Merry Christmas”. Then they help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents. But it is better to give than to receive.
