A
This is the tenth book of the Third-Grade Detectives series. In the book, the young detectives visit an art museum on a field trip and find themselves in another mystery. A priceless statue (雕塑) in the museum has been stolen. There is something strange about Willie, the guard of the museum. And the director of the museum, Dr. Kirk, doesn’t seem to want their help. But these third graders are very good detectives. With the help of their teacher, Mr Merlin, they are sure that they can solve the mystery of the statue. Before they can begin their search, the police discover the statue. It is broken into small pieces in a nearby rubbish bin. Why was the statue stolen and then destroyed (毁坏)? The third graders have to break the coded messages (密码) about the statue first. Finally, they discover the mystery of the stolen statue successfully.
The writer not only provides readers with a mystery to solve, but uses enough clues so that his young readers will find the answers along with the children in the book. He also provides some scientific (科学的) information for his readers, which is a fun way for young children to learn new science facts. Young readers will enjoy solving the mystery and learning new information at the same time.

Have you ever noticed that you’re treated (对待) differently in stores based on your sex (性别), age, race (种族) and even the way you dress? I certainly have, so I wanted to see exactly what happens inside these stores that are meant to be run with “customer (顾客) service”.
A young man in ripped (撕破的) jeans and an old jacket went into a car shop and asked for a price on the top of the line vehicle (汽车). The salesman looked him up and down and said, “I don’t think you can afford a car like this. Have a look at the inferior cars over here.”
As you can imagine, the young man was angry and left the showroom. Two days later, the young man walked back in, and he walked up to the salesman who had served him two days before and asked, “Hi, do you remember me? You said I should look at the inferior cars the other day.” The salesman nodded and said yes.
The young man then asked him to just quickly come outside and have a look at something. They walked out and the young man pointed to the brand-new (全新的) top of the line Ford and said, “I paid with cash (现金), do you like my new car?” And then the salesman quickly left.
Maybe many businesses don’t understand a fact if they don’t treat their customers equally, they will lose business. Not every one of the above people will ever go back to those companies and they won’t recommend them to anyone. You will not only lose repeat business but also lose up to 10 customers, for every person you treat badly will not recommend your companies and will tell people not to go to these places. ( )4. What does the underlined word “inferior” mean in Chinese?
A. 高级的 B. 崭新的 C. 下等的 D. 二手的 ( )5. Why did the youny man go into the car shop two days later?
A. He asked that salesman to look at his new car. B. He paid for his new car. C. He was angry and quarrelled(吵架) with that salesman. D. He recommended the new car to 10 customers.
( )6. Which of the English sayings can we get according to this passage?
A. Love me love my dog. B. One rotten apple spoils the whole lot. C. A clean hand wants no washing. D. Never judge from appearances.
C
Like many people, I often get disappointed (失望的) when I hear that a book I like has been turned into a film. Sometimes I won’t even watch the film even though I love the story! Here are two main problems with the
films that are adapted (改编) from books.
First, the characters are never what we’ve imagined. Even if a novel describes their appearances and characteristics clearly, the film characters are always different from those in the book.
Second, if a novel is long or filled with lots of action and events, it is generally impossible to condense it into a two-hour film without cutting parts out. If there is an event in the novel that is not something exciting and will not draw the audience’s attention, then it may be cut from the story completely. That may make some people unhappy if they have read the novel. Because they know the story is not completely shown in the film.
We may feel upset (难过的) when watching a film that completely changes a story we like. But sometimes there could be an exception (例外). A film named Silver Linings Playbook, for example, is adapted from a book I love. It is changed a lot from the book. However, it’s as enjoyable as the book. So don’t stop ourselves from watching an adapted film just because it might be different. Maybe there will be one that we’ll love as much as the book.
( )7. What does the underlined word “condense” mean in Chinese?
A. 翻译 B. 浓缩 C. 挑选 D. 延长 ( )8. The second and the third paragraphs are mainly about______________.
A. why the writer prefers reading books to watching films B. why the writer prefers watching films to reading books C. why the writer loves the films that are adapted from books D. why the writer dislikes the films that are adapted from books ( )9. What does the writer think of the film Silver Linings Playbook?
A. Boring. B. Pleasant. C. Moving. D. Exciting. ( )10. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The films adapted from books are different from the books, but some are still enjoyable. B. The films adapted from books are full of problems, so we shouldn’t watch them.
C. People shouldn’t adapt films from books. D. It’s not easy to adapt a film from a long novel. 五、阅读表达(共5小格；每格1分。满分5分)
TV may do harm to children. Time spent watching TV takes children away from important activities such as reading, schoolwork, playing, exercise, family communication and social activities. Children also learn wrong information from television. They are often unable to tell the fantasy(幻想) presented on television is not real. They are affected by thousands of advertisements. Many of them are for alcohol (酒精), junk food and fast food.
To make sure that children have a positive (积极的) experience with television, we do have some suggestions for parents.
Parents can follow some rules. Don’t allow children to watch long blocks of TV (长时间的电视). Choose individual (个别的) programmes. Choose good shows for your children. Soap operas and adult talk shows are not good for children. Study times are not for sitting in front of the TV doing homework. Meal times are for family members to talk with each other, not for watching TV.
Encourage children to discuss with you what they are seeing when you watch shows with them. Point out positive behaviour, such as teamwork, friendship and care for others. While watching, make connections to history, books, places of interest and personal events. Ask children to compare (比较) what they are watching with real events.
With proper guidance (引导), your children can learn to use television healthily in a positive way. TV may take children away from important activities. TV may do harm Children learn incorrect information and (1) tell the fantasy to children is not real. Advertisements influence children badly. Choose individual programmes (2) of long blocks of TV.
