It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.
·Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you’ll have to move to the back seat.
·Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You’ll need a good map, a compass(指南针), a raincoat, a cellphone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is not in getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野识途比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.
小题1: Sitting beside the driver, you should _______.
A.direct the driver when necessary
B.look ahead to see where there’s a turn
C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
D.Keep looking at the map to find a place to go to
小题2: Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?
A.To get information when in danger.
B.To be saved in case of an accident.
C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
D.To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.
小题3: Orienteering activities can _______.
A.make people work fastB.help people stay healthy
C.help people organize other activitiesD.make people get prepared for sports.
小题4: The text mainly talks about _____.
A.the fun of explorationB.what to bring for exploration
C.the way to use a map in explorationD.how to prevent getting lost in exploration.

举一反三
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means —practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.

A.arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time

C.a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things

小题2:The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ____.
A.it is his own faultB.his parents are to blame
C.he is just unluckyD.his arms must be weak
小题3: According to the passage, we learn that all of us can ____.
A.become very strongB.become very clever
C.improve our memory by practicingD.know how to improve our memory

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact forum(论坛)asking what“PK”meant.
“My family has been watching the‘Super Girl’singing competition TV programme.My little daughter asked me what’PK’meant,but I had no idea,”explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online,it is impossible not to know this term.In such Internet games,“PK”is short for“Player Kill”,in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the“Super Girl”singing competition.“PK”was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this father,Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language,but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons  that she didn’t understand.
“My‘GG’came back this summer from college.He told me I’ve grown up to be a‘PLMM’.I loved to‘FB’with him together;he always took me to the‘KPM’,”went one composition.
“GG”means Ge Ge(Chinese pinyin for brother).“PLMM”refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful girl).“FB”means Fu Bai(corruption).“KPM”is short for KF.Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur,referring to an ugly looking female)ora Qing wa(frog,referring to an ugly looking male)is,you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!
小题1:By writing the article,the writer tries to

A.are used not only online

A new study says that birds living in big cities sing shorter, faster songs that are higher-pitched (高音调的) than those sung by their brothers in the forests. The researchers think that the birds adjust their songs to allow themselves to be heard over the noises of the city, especially the low traffic noise.
To study how urban birds song, Hans Slabbekoorn and Ardie den Bore, biologists at the University of Leiden in Netherlands, travelled around Europe and recorded bird songs in ten major cities and in nearby forests. The species they focused on, the great tit (大山雀), is widespread across Eurasia and one of the few types of birds that thrives in big cities.
Singing is crucial (重要的) for males, which use their songs to attract mates and mark out their territory. The changing songs could play a role in eventually causing the city birds and the forest dwellers to evolve into separate species.
The findings could also help explain why usually only a few bird species thrive in cities. By contrast, many more bird species tend to be found in forests and other undeveloped habitats.
Studies like this could eventually help researchers predict how urbanization (都市化) will affect birds, using this knowledge could help urban planners design more pleasant city environments, study co-author Slabbe-koorn said. “You can make a city much more livable if you pay attention to where the noise goes and where the people go,” he said. “It would be easy to fit the birds into those models.” Then cities wouldn’t be strictly for the people, but also for the birds.
小题1: Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Birds Change Songs to Suit Country Life
B.Birds Change Sex to Suit Urban Life
C.Birds Change Living Habits to Suit Urban Life
D.Birds Change Songs to Suit Urban Life
小题2: Males usually sing their songs to ____.
A.evolve into another species
B.attract mates and mark out their living area
C.attract city people’s attention and make them supply food
D.allow themselves to be heard over the noises of the city
小题3: The underlined word “thrives” in the second paragraph means “____”.
A.diesB.survivesC.suffers D.travels
小题4:What is NOT the effect that studies of birds’ songs have?
A. Predicting how course of the city’s expanding will affect birds.
B. Helping the city planners design more pleasant city environments.
C. Making cities more livable for both the birds and people.
D. Driving the urban birds back to the forest.

Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer of Australia, unexpectedly caught sight of an unusual animal during his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouse like head and jumped along on its large legs. To his great surprise, the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know that he was pointing at and finally said “Kang-a-roo”, but their requests were met with puzzled looks of the native people. Before long they got to discover that the native guide who made the answer to Cook’s question really meant, “I don’t know what you pointing at. “ Funny enough, the name “ Kang-a-roo”, stuck and it is still in use today.
