June 5 is World Environment Day. This makes us pay more attention to our environment and the need to protect it.
When Wang Boxuan, a Beijing high schoolboy, uses up his exercise books, he does not throw them away. Each one is stored at his school with hundreds of exercise books given by other students. Then they are sold to a Beijing paper making factory.

People who show confidence really seem to have it made. They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us.
So what is the secret? There isn’t one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age.
Try these simple tips for practicing and increasing your self-confidence levels:
Dare to fail. Anybody who’s out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you are not failing, you are not trying. So don’t take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving.
When in doubt, pretend you know what you are doing. Because, if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.
Dress for success. You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages.
Listen to yourself. You are the only person who knows what’s right for you. Don’t put others’ opinions above your own inner voice.
Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you.
Pass on the praise. Praise others for their virtues and strengths. This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it.

Researchers believe that the insect(昆虫) is better at managing congestion (拥挤) than humans. Ants are the most many type of animal on earth with brains that contain about 250,000 cells ---- the largest among insects.
Now an intelligence expert Dr. Dirk Helbing says understanding more about ants could help solve one of the headaches of modern life -- road congestion.
His team set up an "ant motorway" with two routes of different widths from the nest to some sugar syrup (糖浆). Soon the narrower(更窄的) route soon became crowded(拥挤的). But when an ant returning along the crowded route to the nest met with another ant just starting out, the returning ant pushed the newcomer onto the other path. However, if the returning ant had enjoyed a trouble-free journey, it did not send the newcomer in a different direction.
The result was that just before one route became clogged , the ants had turned to another route and traffic jams never formed.
The researchers also created a computer model of more complex ant networks with routes of different lengths. The team found that even though ants being sent in another direction sometimes took a longer route, they still got to the food quickly and efficiently.
Dr. Helbing, of the Dresden University of Technology in Germany, said that while you cannot allow cars to meet with traffic coming in the opposite(相反的)direction as a form of traffic control, you could do the next best thing and allow them to communicate.
His plan is to force cars traveling in one direction to tell oncoming traffic what the conditions they are about to meet with-- so they can avoid that situation if necessary.
小题1:The first paragraph suggests that _______.
A.ants have a special way to manage congestion
B.ants are clever and good at dealing with the traffic jams because of developed brain
C.insects are similar to animals in dealing with the traffic jams because of developed brain
D.insects have more advantages than humans
小题2: The underlined word "clogged" can be replaced by _______ in the following four words.
A.cleanedB.narrowedC.crowdedD.shortened
小题3:If an ant returns along crowded route to the nest, how does the ant solve the traffic problem?
A.The ant will change the direction of its own.
B.The ant stopped the newcomer from moving ahead and forced the newcomer to wait there patiently.
C.The ant can"t direct the newcomer.
D.The ant will push the newcomer to the other route, so traffic jams won"t form.
小题4: What"s the advice that Dr. Helbing gives us?
A.The cars cannot be allowed to communicate with traffic coming in the opposite direction.
B.The cars can communicate with traffic in the same direction.
C.The cars that travel in one direction can tell oncoming traffic about the traffic conditions.
D.We should build more routes of different lengths and widths.

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.
小题1:Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.
A.the difficulties in teaching spelling
B.the role of spelling in general language development
C.the complexities of the basic writing skills
D.the necessity of teaching spelling
小题2: The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________.
A.to write carefullyB.to do as teachers say
C.to use dictionaries frequentlyD.to avoid using words one is not sure of
小题3:Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.
A.students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B.students will have more confidence in writing
C.students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
D.students will learn to be independent of teachers
小题4:The author seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is __________.
A.unfairB.reasonableC.foolishD.careless
小题5:The major point discussed in the passage is ___________.
A.the importance of developing writing skills
B.the complexities of spelling
C.the correct way of marking compositions
D.the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine(尿), sweat and water got from air. They said "cheers," clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground.
The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will have NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttles or cargo rockets. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.
The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttles Endeavour, but it couldn’t be used until samples(样品) were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centres that worked on the system.
“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is worth trying.”
The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor(水蒸气) is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.
“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space station’s national lab manager.
The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.
小题1: According to the text, the recycling system is important because ___________.
A.it makes traveling to the moon for the average person possible
B.with it NASA won’t need to ship any water up the space station
C.it can help meet the need for more water after the crew is expanded
D.it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste
小题2:What’s the RIGHT time order of the following events?
a. The samples of the recycled water were tested on earth.
b. Astronauts celebrated the space first of making water from urine
c. The recycling system was brought up to the space station.
d. The technology for the system was used to quickly purify water.
A.a, d, c, bB.a, c, b, dC.d, a, c, bD.d, c, a, b
小题3:From Para. 5 we can know ____________.
A.the theory behind the recycling systemB.the effect of the recycling system
C.the process of recycling urineD.an opinion on recycling urine
小题4:What did Edeen say about recycled urine and the recycling system?
A.The taste of recycled urine is not as good as that of common water.
B.The recycling system has made a science fiction story come true.
C.The idea of drinking recycled urine makes astronauts feel unpleasant.
D.It takes a longer time on earth to make water from urine than in space.
小题5:What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Research of NASA Has Made Great Progress.
B.New Technology Is Used in the Space Station.
C.Drink up: Space Station Recycles Urine to Water.
D.Good News: Water Recycled from Urine Tastes Good

Speaking in his first National Day Rally speech on 15 August, Prime Minister Lee Hsien said Singapore’s education system was set for more reforms in the years ahead, particularly for the primary and secondary education.Read the summary of his thoughts on education below.
For a start, the Government is prepared to send and additional 3,000 teachers to Singapore schools, cut the courses of study even further and change the way the mother tongue, especially Chinese, is taught.But, for the changes to be successful, parents need to help.
Singapore has a devoted group of teachers and principals and quite a few of them are outstanding, but the Republic’s schools can be even better.To help the schools make a jump in quality, the Government plans that within the next 6 years, it will send 1,000 more teachers to primary schools, 1,400 to secondary schools and 550 more to junior colleges.Each school would decide how to use its extra teachers.Some may want to make classes smaller so students get more individual attentions while others may have new teachers assist more senior teachers, but the overall goal is to give teachers the time and space to come up with ways to bring out the best in their students.
More teachers must not mean more homework, however.In fact, the Prime Minister wants to see the courses cut down so that there is less pressure on the students.Good grades are important but they should not be the only goal students have.PM Lee is convinced that “we must teach less so that our children can learn more.”
Another change will be in the teaching of the mother tongue so that students can become more fluent.The key is to teach Chinese as a living language not just an academic subject like Latin.Therefore, the focus should be on speaking and reading the language.To do this, there must be an environment outside the classroom that is contributing to strengthening the Chinese lessons.
小题1:The text is mainly about         in Singapore.
A.the education reformB.adding more teachers
C.the mother tongueD.ways of teaching
小题2:The general goal of using extra teachers is to          
A.make classes smallerB.assist more senior teachers
C.teach moreD.help teachers improve teaching quality
小题3:PM Lee holds that the students should         
A.do more homework B.give up higher grades
C.study more coursesD.be given more time to learn more
小题4:The key to teaching Chinese well is to          
A.make it academicB.have a creative environment
C.give more Chinese lessonsD.encourage speaking and reading a lot
