• 3．Your mom tells you to put on your hat and gloves.But as the cold winter season gets closer，it's so cold that even mom's advice does not work.
     That means it's time to put on your qiuku!This is a kind of "thermal underwear（保暖內(nèi)衣）" or long underpants that keep people warm in the coldest months of the year.
     In Western countries，qiuku is usually known as long johns，but they aren't popular.Long johns in the US are usually two pieces，a long-sleeved（長袖的） shirt and long pants，worn under other clothing or sometimes even used as pajamas（睡衣）.
     Long johns first appeared in England during the 17^th century.We call them long johns because the US boxer John L.Sullivan wore them while he boxed.But this is not a historical fact.
     In the US，it gets quite cold and snowy in many places.And while parents often push kids to wear more clothes and long underwear，it's very special when young people actually（實(shí)際上） put them on .
     Part of the reason might be because it's not very fashionable（時(shí)尚的） and another reason might be because people don't spend much time outside during the cold months.So they just deal with the freezing（冰凍的） temperatures when they have to leave the warm building.But in their parents' eyes，staying warm is more important than looking nice.
  
  （1）People wear qiuku to be

  .
  A．fashionable
  B．popular
  C．friendly
  D．warm
  （2）Which one is TRUE according to the passage？

  
  A．Long johns first appeared in the US in the 17^th century.
  B．Long johns got its name from the boxer John L.Sullivan.
  C．We can read about long johns and Sullivan in history books.
  D．Long johns in Western countries are as popular as qiuku in China.
  （3）What does the underlined sentence mean？

  
  A．Few young people wear long johns.
  B．Many young people wear long johns.
  C．.Young people like special long johns.
  D．Young people dislike special long johns.
  （4）The last paragraph tells us that

  .
  A．young people care more about staying warm
  B．young people think long johns are not fashionable
  C．in winter people need to stay outside for a long time
  D．.long johns are fashionable but can't keep people warm

五、閱讀表達(dá)（滿分10分）閱讀下面的短文， 完成短文后的問題。

• 8．As teenagers，you have many dreams.These dreams can be very big，like winning the Nobel Prize，or they can be small.You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once you find a dream，what do you do with it？Do you ever try to make your dream come true？
     Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge.You may think you're not very good at some school subjects，or it is impossible for you to become a writer.These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream，the book says.
     In fact，everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart.Keep telling yourself what you want.Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is，in fact，many small dreams.
     You must also never give up your dream.There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams.But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.
     You need to decide what is the most important.Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results，while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream，it may change a little.This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
  （1）What can teenagers' dreams be like？
  

  
  （2）What does the book Follow Your Heart tell us？
  

  
  （3）What should you do if you want to make your dream come true？（至少兩條）
  

  
  （4）Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
  

  
  （5）What's the main idea of the last paragraph？
