M:Lily, where do you like to eat?
W:Well, my favorite restaurant is The Knife and Talk. It's very near the city center. At lunch it's full of office workers, but I like to go before that, in the middle of the morning. I go there and order big breakfast and take one of their newspapers and just relax for an hour or so. Their pancakes are delicious. They don't have a TV in there, which I love most. They just have some jazz music, very quiet, nothing too loud. What's your favorite restaurant?
M:Well, it's just a very simple restaurant. There are only about six tables in there. A couple of waitresses wear ugly pink uniforms. But the food is great, very tasty, and cheap too, which is important, of course. There are some truck drivers sitting at the counter drinking coffee and eating sausages every morning. I always have pancakes in the morning and their fish pie for lunch. That restaurant has been open for many years. They say the actor James Dean eats there sometimes, but I don't think that's true. (Text 2)
M:I hear you play in a band. Is that true? W:Yes, I do.
M:What instrument do you play? W:I play the guitar. M:Oh, how exciting.
W:Yes, it's fun, but I think we might break up soon. M:I'm sorry to hear that. Aren't you getting along well?
W:Not exactly. Our keyboard player is planning on moving to New York. Also, we got a letter from another band with the same name. M:A letter?
W:Yes. They're actually signed to Sony Records, and they're demanding that we change our name. The problem is that none of us can agree on a new name.
M:It just happens that I play the piano myself. We should get together sometime. W:Yeah, that would be fun. (Text 3)

M:Hello, everyone. I'd like to tell you something about the students club in our school. Let's begin with the reading club. It was first started in 2008, and has 90 members now. Every Thursday afternoon, they gather together to exchange their ideas on books and make notes. And you may join them to share your views. If you are a music lover, come to the music club. This club has a total of 85 members who usually meet on Saturday. Sometimes they go to concerts together and sometimes they give performances by themselves. For those who enjoy outdoor sports, bicycle club can be a good choice. Trips are usually organized on Wednesday and last for at least two hours. You can not only see beautiful nature, but also make yourself stronger. Of course, there are also many other clubs in our school. For more information, please go to the school website.

四、语篇阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practiced about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I've worn prosthetics (假手).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band — not because it was a high school band and I'm only in seventh grade, but probably because my body is different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn't even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my mp3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are to a measure. I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It's a normal problem that we musicians share. When I'm with the band, I don't feel as different as I do in other situations. It's just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了自己对于音乐的热爱。 1.In what way is Sara different from other kids? A.There's something wrong with her body. B.She knows how to play many instruments.
