Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked. ―Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife. ‖ The only available(空的) seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression(神情). ―I don’t want to sit there,‖ Mary thought at once. But then a soft voice inside spoke, ―She needs help.‖ Finally, Mary moved to that seat.
The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary thought about offering to feed her but she hesitated(犹豫), as it seemed too impolite to offer such a help to
4 4 页 共 10 页 九年级英语 第
a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily’s need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, . They became closer and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary’s heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.
Mary was very glad that she sat next to Emily and fed her. Love sometimes goes beyond(超越) human boundaries and removes the fears that keep people away. When we reach our hands to help another, we get to live in a larger and more pleasant world.
58. How did Mary feel at first when an air hostess asked her to change her seat?
A. She felt glad to do so. B. She was not willing to do so.

C
①Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
②Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
③We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that ’s true but it ’s a pity if we always stay with the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference. ④When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知)? If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons（鸽子）.
⑤Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That ’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That ’s how we live an exciting life.
.
A. is like themselves B. has a sense of humor
C. is open-minded D. lives an exciting life
5 5 页 共 10 页 九年级英语 第
.
A. remain comfortable and special B. find out more interesting things
C. be accepted easily and feel safe D. discover differences among themselves
65. The sentence ―Unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. ‖ should be placed at the beginning of __________.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D.Paragraph 4
66. What does the underlined word ―barriers ‖ mean in Paragraph 4?
A. 联系 B. 纽带 C. 隔阂 D. 熟悉
67. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.
B. To introduce ways to learn about the world.
C. To explain how people communicate with others.
D. To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.

A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning (食物中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.
On our way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We’d better wear bright -color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don’t believe strange people in the street.
At school: When students around us begin to push each other, we need to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd(人群) leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use both hands to cover the head. Lean(斜靠) to one side, curl up (蜷缩) our body and bend (弯曲) the legs.
In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground. Then roll! It will make the fire go out.
For eating: Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the

While walking around, I realized that I didn’t smile at at strangers in the that it may make them a bit happier. But in that special moment, I was thinking of what had me earlier in the day, not really in the mood to smile.
When I went to check out(结账) my things, I met with a very line. People were buying Christmas gifts.
To shorten the first line, a second register(收银台) opened up. I turned to it. After a few moments, I began to that all the people before me had lots of things to check out. I wasn’t any longer, so I returned to the first line. After a short while, all the people in the second line checked out. I was still standing in the line.
At last, it was my to check out. I found that the man behind the register seemed so happy! He greeted me a big smile.
― nice it is to see a smiling face in this store!‖ I said.
He to me, ―I love to smile, because you never know what people are going through.‖ At that moment, he made me think of
Something in me changed, and we began talking about — about how it goes a long way. There was no one behind me, so we talked and laughed for a while. What a gift it is, to be by this kind young man! I suddenly had all the time in the world.

Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked. ―Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife. ‖ The only available(空的) seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression(神情). ―I don’t want to sit there,‖ Mary thought at once.

C
①Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
②Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
③We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that ’s true but it ’s a pity if we always stay with the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference. ④When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知)? If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons（鸽子）.
⑤Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That ’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That ’s how we live an exciting life.
.
A. is like themselves B. has a sense of humor
C. is open-minded D. lives an exciting life

A report in a newspaper says that school accidents, such as food poisoning (食物中毒), fires, electricity and traffic, kill more primary and middle school students than anything else. So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.
On our way home or to school: Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We’d better wear bright -color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don’t believe strange people in the street.
At school: When students around us begin to push each other, we need to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd(人群) leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use both hands to cover the head. Lean(斜靠) to one side, curl up (蜷缩) our body and bend (弯曲) the legs.
In a fire: Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly under the directions of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so use a piece of cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground. Then roll! It will make the fire go out.
For eating: Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates (保质期) on the

Some time ago, an old businessman had a large store in Boston. He wanted a boy to work for him, and he put an advertisement in the newspapers. The next morning, many boys came to the old man’s office, asking for the job.
There was a post (柱子) by his desk, and there was a nail (钉子) in it. He took a walking stick(拐杖) and said, ―Everyone has three chances. If anyone can hit that nail on the head with this stick more than once, I will give him the job.‖
The boys thought it was very easy. They all tried, but nobody could make it. So the old man said, ―I’m sorry I can’t take any of you,‖ and they left.
