But some customs are more specific to certain countries. Here are some children talking about their customs. Linda-I am fourteen. I come from Aruba. In our country, Children take something special to school for their classmates and all teachers. Each teacher gives the birthday child a small gift like a pencil, an eraser or a postcard. The birthday child is also allowed to wear special clothes instead of the school uniform. Lucy-I am one year older than Linda. Denmark is my country. A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the childs bed while they are sleeping so they will see them at once when they wake up.Tom-I am as old as Linda. I am from Brazil. The birthday child receives a pull on the earlobe(耳垂) for each year in my country. The birthday person also gives the first slice of cake to his/her most special friend or relative, usually mom or dad.根据短文，完成下面表格，每空不超过4个单词，并将其答案写在答题卡中相应题号的横线上。NamesCountriesAges Special customsLindaArubaFourteenEach teacher receives something special from (96)._ and gives him or her a small gift.LucyDenmark(97)_If you see (98)_ flying outside a window, you may know someone in that house is having a birthdayTom (99)_Fourteen(100)_ of the birthday cake is usually given to Mom or Dad.答案：96. his/her students 97. 15/Fifteen 98. a flag 99.

Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks. Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face. Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesnt it make you want to keep talking to that person? Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Dont waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find its not so hard to talk with others. Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day youll never feel shy when you talk to others.Title: Advice on 72 to be a little braverAdviceReasonsDont 73 the fact.If you tell people you are shy, they will understand you better.Smile more.People dont 74 the one with an angry-looking face.Start a conversation with 75 words.People will feel great and want to talk to you.Pay more attention to ways to enjoy 76 or games.You will become relaxed.Encourage yourself to say “Hi!” or smile at someone.Keep doing this and youll be braver to talk to others 77 the future.【主旨大意】本文介绍了害羞的人如何变得更勇敢一点的方法。72. how 73.hide 74.like/love 75.nice/good 76.parties 77.in【2011内蒙古包头】A阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，补全表格中所缺的信息。Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about twothirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.They can also bring illness to the animals that live in peoples yard(院子), further weakening the health of the natural populations.Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, its also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks (攻击) from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually dont live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, its your duty to let it play inside.ProblemThe number of birds is becoming 91._; at the sametime, many pet cats are in 92._ from traffic and attacksfrom other animals.Reason for theproblemPet cats are 93._to go outside freelyWhat to doPeople who 94._a young cat have the 95. _ to let it play inside.91. smaller 92. danger 93. allowed
