文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了退休军人黄永阜用画笔在房子上作画，将村庄变成了“彩虹村”从而拯救了自己的村庄故事。

If your hometown were to be pulled down and rebuilt one day, would you miss it? And what could you do for it? Retired (退役的) soldier Huang Yongfu gave his answer.

Huang and his wife lived in a village. After he retired from the army in the 1970s, Huang had a lot of free time. He started painting lovely animals and human figures on the walls of his house for fun. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses, too. Huang’s paint brush brought a second “life” to the boring single-story houses in the village.

In 1998, the village was to be pulled down because many villagers had left. In order to save it, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every paving stone, wall and door with joyful colors.

In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were struck by Huang’s cute and expressive artwork. These students then started the “Save rainbow Village” campaign (运动). This campaign was a success and the area was kept as an art park. Huang himself began to be known as “Grandpa Rainbow”. Now, Rainbow village has become a famous travel spot. It brought a positive feeling and a sense of togetherness to those who live in it.

Grandpa Rainbbow, now 98 years old, and his wife are still living there. Supposedly he wakes up every morning at 4 a. m. to work on maintaining (维护) his artwork. Visitors often meet him and he always gives the victory sign when posing for photos.

36. At the very beginning of the passage, two questions are there to ________.

37. After Huang Yongfu retired, he ________.

38. The underlined word “

” in Paragraph 4 may mean ________ in Chinese.

39. To protect the village from being pulled down, Huang ________.

40. What would be the best title for the passage?

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了发生在作者Kelly和好朋友Grace之间的一件往事，并且，通过这件事情，作者让读者知道了在友谊中保持自我的重要性。

The school talent show was coming. And I had a good idea—I planned to put on a show with my cat, Mimi!

However, my best friend Grace showed up, “Kelly, we should do an act together!”

I was going to tell her my idea, but she quickly interrupted me.

“We will discuss the act after school.” she said, “I’ll see you at 6 when we practice ping-pong.”

We always did what Grace wanted. She picked the sport we played. We watched comedies because she liked them. Sometimes I felt unhappy about how our friendship worked. However, Grace always seemed so sure that I couldn’t say anything.

After school, Grace was excited about her plan, “I learned this from a TV show. We can do a magic trick together.”

“That’s great.” I said, “Do you think maybe we can put Mimi in our show?”

“Kelly, you know I am not good with animals.” said Grace.

When I got home, Mum asked me why I was so quiet. I told her about the talent show.

“Kelly. You can’t always follow your friend around.” Mum smiled, “Grace is a very good friend, but you should be yourself and help your friend see it.”

That evening, I called Grace and told her I really wanted to do the show with Mimi. After I hung up, I spent the night worrying it could be the end of our friendship.

The next morning at school, something surprising happened. Grace told me about a new act. She also planned to go by herself! After class, we played tennis, my favorite sport, instead of ping-pong!

The talent show was a month ago. Grace and I are still good friends. I am happy that I spoke up for myself.

41. When Kelly heard of the school talent show, she ________.

42. The underlined word “

” probably means ________.

43. Kelly was unhappy about their friendship because ________.

44. What advice did Mum give Kelly?

45. What might be the best title of this passage?
