B Coloring is not my favorite thing to do, thought Jon. Mrs. Johnson had passed out a picture of a lion to color for the class animal report. "I want to draw something, not color in something somebody else drew," Jan whispered to himself. Jon was a good artist. Ever since he was able to hold a pencil, he had been drawing whatever he saw. In art class, the kids would stand behind Jon, watching the magical motions he made with his pencil. Jon was able to imagine the whole picture before he started to draw. Sometimes he would start with a very small detail, and then develop the rest of the drawing. Mrs. Johnson’s class was studying animals. Each student had to do a report on an animal and color a picture. Most of the kids enjoyed this, and they were happily picking their brown and yellow crayons for the lion’s mane. Perhaps I can do a zebra, thought Jon. That’s what I would rather do. I can do the lion later. He turned his paper over and started to draw the fine outline of the zebra’s body, adding more and more detail until the picture was done. Mrs. Johnson was walking around the room. Jon heard her footsteps get closer to his desk and then stop. He slowly looked up at her, expecting a disapproving look. Jon usually followed directions. He had an uneasy feeling as she glanced at his paper. "Jon, what is this" inquired Mrs. Johnson: "It’s a picture of a zebra," Jon answered faintly. Jon was trying to think of what to tell his teacher. His thoughts were interrupted. "Class, please stop what you are doing," said Mrs. Johnson as she picked up Jon’s paper. Jon slowly slid down in his seat. He was worried. She is going to tell the whole class I didn’t follow directions, thought Jon. "Jon has a very interesting picture he has drawn," Mrs. Johnson told the class, with excitement in her voice. "It is of a zebra." To Jon, she said, "Jon, I had no idea you were such a great artist. This is wonderful!" Jon let out a big sigh of relief as he watched Mrs. Johnson hang the picture of the zebra on the wall. It looked like he wasn’t in trouble, after all. Why was Jon nervous when Mrs. Johnson saw his picture
A. He was nervous his teacher didn’t like his drawing.
B. He was afraid of being told to color the drawing.
C. He thought his teacher would interrupt him.
D. He didn’t follow his teacher’s directions.

D The first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. They began as a religious festival and were held every four years. They were held in a valley of Ancient Greece called Olympia. Athletes came to Olympia to train full time for ten months prior to the Olympics. They had to undergo an examination of a ten-member panel who assessed them on their character and physical ability. Women were not allowed to participate in these early Olympic games and could not attend tile games. At the first games in 776 BC, the only event held was a foot race and was the length of the stadium. Later, a chariot race was added and was one of the most exciting events of these Olympics. The race was nine miles long. The prize for the victors of these early Olympics was a simple olive tree branch. Today, the Olympics are one of the most exciting events televised.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项([A]、[B]、[C]和[D])中选出最佳选项。A To make the play dough recipe you will mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until stiff. Allow the mixture to cool, then knead the dough by rolling it hard and squeezing it in your bands. The play dough must be stored in a zip lock bag until you use it or it will dry out and become hard. To make the ornaments you will need Christmas cookie cutters in all different shapes. Roll out the play dough and cut the dough with the cookie cutters. Place a hole at the top of the shape for a hanger to go through. You can use pretty ribbon, yarn, or siring to pull through the hole for the hanger. These are nice gifts to give to your teachers, parents, and friends at Christmas time to bang on their Christmas trees and they are so special because they were made by you! Why must you use a bag to keep the dough in
A. So it will not dry out.
B. To keep it dry.
