One thing that leaves a deep impression on me is shearing the sheep. In my village, sheep are washed and sheared (剪毛) sometime in the month of June. This should be done quite early in the month, before the hot days begin. Its best for the sheep to have the wool taken off, or they will be too hot in the summer time. When the time comes for washing the sheep, they are driven to a pond or a little river. Then they are thrown into the water, one at a time. The men who are in the water catch them, and wash them to get the dirt all out of the wool. When the wool is dry, the sheep are taken to the shearer; and he cuts off the wool with a large pair of shears. In a short time, before the cold winter comes, new wool grows out on the sheep. By the coming of spring, there is so much that it must be cut off soon.55. When are sheep sheared usually? A. In February. B. In June. C. In April. D. In August.56. According to the passage, why do people cut off the wool of sheep? A. They do that for fun and pleasure. B. They do that as a sport and exercise. Co They do that to help sheep spend hot summer. D. They do that to make sheep look more beautiful.57. What does the underlined word shears in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Knives B. Scissors. C. Baskets. D. Rivers.58. How often do people shear their sheep? A. Several times a year. B. Twice a year. C. Once a few years. D. Once a year. C A persons nose is important for breathing and smelling. The nose is also used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions easily. And many people will never pay through the nose, that is, they will not pay too much money for something. It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other peoples business.The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. This kind of person is interested in other peoples private matters. He is considered nosy. And my teacher often says, If you put your heart into it, the answers should be right under your nose. It means something can be found or seen easily. As for ear, there are also some expressions. When I want to say something to you, I hope you are all ears and listen carefully. I also advise you to keep your ear to the ground. This means to be interested in what is happening around you and what people are thinking. Another expression about ear is to play it by ear. Someone is able to play a song or a piece of music by remembering the tune(旋律) and not by reading the music. There are many other expressions about different parts of our body. For example, if someone is playing a joke on you, you can say, You are pulling my leg. And to turn your hand to something means to begin to do something. If a child does something wrong, we say he will get it in the neck, or he will be punished.59. If a person always wants to lead others by the nose, that means A.he always tells others what to do B. he works harder than others C. he cares about others instead of himself D. he listens to his wife all the time60. If someone is hard-nosed, A.he will be too interested in others business B. he will spend much money for daily things C. he will find the answers to his problems soon D. he will not change his mind easily61. When our parents or teachers are talking to us, what should we do? A. We should be all ears. B. We should keep our nose out of their business. C. We should play it by ear. D. We should pay through the nose.62. On April FoolsDay, what may some people try to do? A.They may turn their hand to us. B. They may think of ways to pull our legs. C. They will get it in the neck. D. They will nose around all the time. D Ted Browns dream as a child was an unusual one: he wanted to fly. What was more unusual was the way in which he made his dream come true. After high school, he wanted to join the U. S. Air Force but he failed because of his poor eyesight. However, his dream remained. At the age of 33, Ted was a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside in his garden, he watched planes fly overhead and an idea came to him: to use balloons(气球) to fly. A few weeks later, Ted bought 42 huge balloons. He tied them to a chair and then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches and a gun. His plan was to fly to 10 meters above his garden, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go as he planned. Once his friends cut the ropes under Teds chair, the 42 balloons flew into the sky at an astonishing speed until about 4000 meters above the ground with Ted and his chair. He didnt shoot any of the balloons because he was afraid he might break the balanee(平衡) of his plane. Ted stayed in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours, cold and frightened. Planes heading towards Los Angeles busy international airport reported the strange sight. And Ted s balloons caused great danger to them. At last, Ted gathered his courage to shoot a few balloons and slowly landed on the ground, where many policemen were waiting for him. Ted made his dream come true, but it cost him: he was fined(罚款) $ 1,500 for breaking the law about air safety. When asked by a reporter why he had done it, Ted answered, A man cant just sit around and do nothing; he should have his dream and go for it. 63. Why couldnt Ted join the American Air Force?

But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrows meeting, check your e-mails, and perhaps print out a few- things. And you need to make a few local telephone calls, and one call to your family. And what do you usually get?
