Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading. More and more 26 and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which came from the printed papers 27 on streets.
These printed things 28 newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 29 , you can only find reading materials badly made up these—— some are too strange for anyone to 30 ; others are frightening stories of something still worse. However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 31 reading, which 32 them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares(恶梦)and immoral(邪恶的)ideas in return. Homework was left 33 ; daily games lost.
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, whoever they are, we never know, are 34 their silent money.
The sheep - skinned wolf"s story seems to have been forgotten once again. Why not 35 this kind of thing. Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers. 36 , the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. Sometimes you may even find out several children, driven by the curious natures, 37 one patched paper, which has traveled from hand to hand.
It really does 38 to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The 39 teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time the young readers need more interesting books to help them 40 those ugly papers.

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions（排放）vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）. Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热） plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It"s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can"t see it, it"s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won"t get you nearly as far -- so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don"t use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars" batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it"s a power plant, though，all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our “act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees(棕榈树), sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
小题1:Who is the author?| A．A cameraman. | | B．A film director. | | C．A crowd-scene actor. | | D．A workman for scene setting. |
小题2:What made the author feel cold?| A．The heavy snowfall. | | B．The man-made scene. | | C．The low temperature. | | D．The film being shown. |
小题3: What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned in the last paragraph?| A．A new scene would be filmed. | | B．More stars would act in the film. | | C．The author would leave the studio. | | D．The next scene would be prepared. |

Can you remember a morning when you’ve woken up to the ring of your alarm clock and wished you could stay in bed? You haven’t slept well, your hair is a mess. Worse, you can’t stop yawning. Yawning is universal to humans and many animals. Cats, dogs and fish yawn just like humans do! Yawning is an involuntary(无意识的,不自觉的) action during which you open your mouth and breathe deeply. The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds.
The purpose and cause of yawning are still a mystery. Scientists are not sure what causes a yawn. People yawn when they are tired or bored, but they also yawn when they aren’t. There are many ideas explaining why we yawn.
One idea is that yawning is a way for the body to become more alert by taking in more oxygen. A yawn increases the heart rate, forces carbon dioxide out of the lungs and blood stream, and brings oxygen to the brain. But one study showed that volunteers given a lot of oxygen did not yawn any less than before, while those given a lot of carbon dioxide did not yawn more.
Another idea is that early humans used yawning as a form of communication. If one decided it was time to sleep, they would tell the others by yawning and they would do it in return to show they agreed.
A third explanation comes from psychology professor Gordon Gallup of University at Albany in New York. He said that as people yawn, they cool off their brains. “Brains are like computers.” he said. “They only operate efficiently and effectively when they’re cool. Many things connected to yawning, like being tired, make the brain hot, and yawning can reduce the heat.”
Scientists have sent people into space, and created terrible nuclear weapons, but there are lots of seemingly simple things, such as why we yawn, or hiccup（打嗝）, that they can’t figure out. Next time you are in class in the morning, let out a big yawn and watch to see how many of your classmates yawn in response!
小题1:What’s the purpose of the description of how bad you may feel when you’re woken up in the morning?| A．To explain why humans yawn. | | B．To explain how humans start yawning. | | C．To lead into the topic of yawning. | | D．To complain about being woken up by the clock. |
小题2:Which is not among the possible reasons for yawning mentioned in the passage?| A．A way to show that you feel hot. | | B．A way to get rid of carbon dioxide. | | C．A way to cool off your brain. | | D．A way to communicate. |
小题3:In which situation are you likely to yawn?| A．When you feel frustrated. | | B．The weather is hot. | | C．Someone else yawns near you. | | D．When you breathe in a lot of carbon dioxide. |
小题4:What can we learn from the passage?| A．The real reason why humans and most animals yawn. | | B．Hiccups are an involuntary human action similar to yawns. | | C．The more an action can be studied, the easier it is to research. | | D．Finding out why humans yawn should be easier than sending people into space. |

Recently, a scientist did some experiments．He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy．If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy．If, however, they didn"t ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.
In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes--trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies．The results are different．Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute．Others lasted 15 minutes.
The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores．They got into better colleges and had better adult success．The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations （评价） 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.
The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich．But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?" This is to enter the world of human nature.
So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important．Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well．They can avoid drugs and alcohol．For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals（煎熬）．No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.
小题1:The scientist did some experiments to .| A．test children"s self control and later success | | B．test children"s intelligence of ringing the bell | | C．find good ways of training children to learn | | D．prove that children"s education is important |
小题2:We can learn from the experiment that | A．all children tried to ring the bell for more candies | | B．some children didn"t get any candy in the end | | C．the children have different self- control | | D．the last one to ring the bell is most successful |
小题3:What is the best title for this passage?| A．Ways of self-control training | | B．Experiments on children"s ringing the bell | | C．Higher score, better achievements | | D．Self-control is the key to success |
