• 2．Every summer he came to our village on his cycle.The cycle was full of coconuts and on the handle was his small red money purse and the knife that he used to cut the coconuts.He was known for his toothless smile that tended to tum into a slight laugh.
     He often announced the arrival of summer by standing under our village's Gulmohar tree.During the first touch of summer，red flowers fell on the ground and welcomed him to out village；soon the red flowers turned into long sword-like fruits which hung above his head as he cut the coconuts.
     He never ate anything except paan （a kind of leaf），which he always could be seen chewing，and he just sat under the tree until someone approached him.Then，he would choose the best coconut，and with expert skill，carve it so that the person could drink the satisfying liquid.
     Nowadays，he doesn't do much business.Kids no longer care for coconut water；they want soft drinks.I know his weak body will fail him in the coming years.He will not visit our village，and with him，all my memories of summer will disappear.No one will miss him apart from the Gulmohar tree，his only friend.
     My friends and I have stayed in the same village our whole life.Now，in our mid-thirties，we don't have time to talk about our childhood and the life beyond the chains of society.
     I've made up my mind.Tomorrow I will talk with him.I will listen to him and preserve him in my memory.I will tell him how important he was for me，how he defined summer for me，and，during every summer，how he nurtured （滋養(yǎng)） me with the coconut water，which was filled with his love.I will take in his smile one last time—a remembrance of my childhood innocence.I will hug him until my tears mix with his.

• 3．A recent trend in the entertainment world is to adapt classic works of literature for either TV plays or the movies.One argument is that this is to everyone's benefit，as it introduces people to works they might otherwise never have experienced，while others say that turning books into movies not only cheapens the original，but is rarely done successfully.So what do you think？
     In the past few years，we have seen several classic works of literature were adapted into movies.Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea，but some obviously think otherwise.According to the latter，translating classic works into movies destroys its originality and credibility.In my opinion，literary works can get translated into the screens effectively.
     The main challenge that filmmakers face while turning a classic work into a movie is its imaginary world.Generally，the perception（見解） of the book's imaginary world differs from person to person.And it's quite challenging to put all these different perceptions in one frame.But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.For example，the filmmakers used visual effects to successfully adapt "Harry Potter" movies so visually appealing that their perception of "Harry Potter" changed.Therefore，literary works can be translated into films through technical means.
     Also，while making a film，the main focus of makers always remains on the main plotline and characters.But for movies based on literary works，this issue is not there as these movies carry the same basic plotline as it is present in the books.Therefore，directors do not have to spend much time and imagination on the plot of the movie，which makes the adaptation quite easy.
     Based on the above arguments，I believe that it is quite possible to make a beautiful movie based on a classic work using modern technologies and a writer' s imagination.
  
  （1）What does "the latter" in the second paragraph refer to？

  
  A．People who agree with adapting classic works of literature into screens.
  B．People who often enjoy reading classic works of literature into screens.
  C．People who think it's not a good idea to adapt classic works into screens.
  D．People who can translated literary works into the screens.
  （2）What is the main difficulty when adapting classics into screens according to the author？

  
  A．Adapting literary works into films effectively.
  B．Presenting the imaginary of classics works on screens.
  C．The different perception of the book's imaginary world.
  D．The use of modern technology in adapting classic works.
  （3）Why does the author mention the adaption of Harry Potter？

  
  A．To prove that adapting literary works into screens can be successful.
  B．To describe the successful use of modern technology in making films.
  C．To confirm adapting classic works into screens is really important.
  D．To present an example to prove that classic works is out of date.
  （4）What is the author' s attitude towards adapting classics？

  
  A．Critical.
  B．Objective.
  C．Indifferent.
  D．Supportive.

• 5．Summer vacation is over.How many of you have burned the midnight oil to finish your homework over the last few days？ （1）

  Or do you start working on your homework right away when you get home from school？
     It can be hard to be this responsible.A lot of people often put off difficult or big tasks until they absolutely must be done. （2）

  Procrastination is a common problem for many people，in fact.Sometimes it just feels easier to wait until the last minute to do certain things
     （3）

  That's because you have to work harder and faster if you wait until there is little time left.This means your work will probably be of less quality.
     I myself am a bit of a procrastinator.But most of the time，I try to finish my work earlier rather than later.It just makes more sense--if I finish my work now，I'll have more time to relax or work on other projects later.It can be hard to encourage myself to get started sometimes. （4）

  
     Everyone procrastinates from time to time.It's a natural thing to do.（5）

  After all，we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives.Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!
  
  A.But once I do the work gets done quickly and with little stress.
  B.One reason we procrastinate is that we are trying to do too many things at once.
