Of all the things we eat and drink,water is the most important. Not many people realize this but it is quite true. The human body goes without food for a long time ,but two or three days without water usually results in death.

There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his spare time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.
Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very close to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen years of age were often tempted to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-house. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glass houses at the beginning and end of the school day.
But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others. At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words, DO NOT THROW STONE AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble: the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.
( ) 56. It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to_______.
A. build glass-houses in his spare time B. grow the rose of the Year in a silver cup C. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color
D. grow a rose with the longest name

C. be in or close by Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses D. play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses
( ) 58. Mr. Flowers stayed in or close by his glass-houses_______. A. at times when school-boys were walking near then B. all the school day when there were no boys about C. where he could not be seen by the boys passing
D. in his spare time at the beginning and end of the school day ( ) 59. Mr. Flowers had tried to________ to protect his glass.
A. be on watch in his spare time B. ask the headmaster for help
C. pick up all the stones around his garden D. do all the above ( ) 60. Mr. Flowers’ good idea was to ________.

New rules and behavior standards（行为规则）for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best student won’t only have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t dye（染）their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird—Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover Earth II someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at Web Pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Can’t you find any good Websites for children? Here are some:
http:// kids.eastday.com http:// www.chinakids.com http:// www.cycnet.com
( ) 61. The school new rules will help kids by telling them _____.
