Some teens believe drugs will help them think better, and be more popular. These days, drugs can be found everywhere. Many teens are tempted(诱惑) by the excitement or escape from reality that drugs seem to offer.
Drugs are chemicals that change the way our bodies work. When you put them into your body, drugs find their way in your blood and are taken to parts of your body, such as your brain.
The effects of drugs can be different depending on the kind of drug taken, how much is taken, how often it is used, how quickly it gets to the brain, and what other drugs or food are taken at the same time. Although drugs can make you feel good at first, they can finally do a lot of harm to the body.
There are many kinds of drugs available, and there are many reasons for trying them regularly. People take drugs just for pleasure they believe they can bring. Often it’s because someone told them that drugs would make them feel good or that they’d have a better time if they took them.
Many teens use drugs because they’re unhappy or think drugs will help them escape their problems. The truth is that drugs don’t solve problems—they simply hide feelings and problems. When a drug wears off, the feelings and problems remain, or became worse. Drugs can ruin every aspect of a person’s life.

举一反三
A new law has recently been announced which forbids people to disturb, annoy, harm, kill or interfere with any bats which choose to live in their houses. Anyone who disturbs a bat on its nest ,or handles one without a license will be fined £1,000.
There are some people who like bats. The late Mrs. Ian Fleming was one. She would crawl for miles to see them in caves or hanging from trees. Similarly, there are many people who do not like bats much but are not particularly troubled by them. The chance of a bat resting in their attics(阁楼) or spare bedroom curtains may seem far away from them. But there are others who do not fall into either of these categories and Mr. Auberon Waugh is one. Underneath his house are eight large cellars(地下室) which for some reason bats have chosen to claim for themselves. He finds it extremely disagreeable to have to fight his way through a colony of them every time he wants a bottle of wine. And as a wine-lover he gets a particular pleasure from the ownership of wine. He has certain bottles in his cellar which he thinks are too good to serve to anyone he knows, but he likes to go down and enjoy looking at them occasionally. The bats entirely destroy this pleasure.
Until the recent law, he could keep the bat problem within manageable proportions by sending his children down on a bat hunt every three months armed with tennis rackets. They usually managed to kill one or two and discouraged the rest from settling. But now, Mr. Waugh fears that the bats will take over the house. To solve the problem he inquired what course of action he could take and was told by Dr Robert Stebbings of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, “I am sure that no one will mind if you pick up a bat and take it outside and hang it on a tree or the outside of the house.” The trouble with this, as Mr. Waugh explains, is that he would be fined a £1,000 if he had not already applied to the Nature Conservancy Council for a license to handle bats. And there is no certainty that he would automatically be granted(agreed to give)one.
小题1: Mr. Waugh thinks that bats        .
A.should all be destroyedB.interfere with his wine
C.should be kept under controlD.prevent him owning wine
小题2: Because he is a wine-lover, M. Waugh        .
A.stores only good winesB.keeps certain good wine
C.refuses to drink good winesD.only wants to own the best wines
小题3: Success in removing bats from your home depends on        .
A.applying for a license from the Nature Conservancy Council
B.seeking help from the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology
C.taking the course of action recommended by Dr Stebbings
D.the granting of a Nature Conservancy Council license
小题4:Some people who dislike bats        .
A.think they are unlikely to be bothered by them
B.run the risk of finding them in their attics
C.think it strange they should roost(栖息) in the curtains
D.do not mind them hanging in trees

There is a saying in France that states, "The government could fall, the Louvre (卢浮宫)could be broken into or creatures from other planets could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice." The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world.It begins in July and runs for three weeks.Cyclists who race in the Tour de France ride in six legs or stages of the race, and they have between one to four days of rest between each leg of the race.The rider who completes all six legs of the race in the shortest overall time wins.
The Tour de France began as a publicity stunt(惊人的表演) for the French sports newspaper, L’Auto.Hcnri Desgranges, who worked for L’Auto,  came up with the idea for "the greatest bike race in the world, "and on July 1,1903, the first Tour de France began.Sixty cyclists began that first leg of the race which started in front of the Alarm Clock Cafe just outside of Paris.This first leg took them 467 kilometers to Lyon.The first Tour de France received an astonishing 2,000 francs.Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, won the first Tour de France.It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race.This time was three hours faster than the second -place rider.Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught the imagination of the people of France.The race has been run every year since that time, except during the years of World War I and World War Ⅱ.
The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete.Above all, the highest honor is the " yellow jersey".Mr.Desgranges introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each rider"s total time in order to find the racer with the lowest time.That racer wears the yellow jersey during the day"s race.Other honors include the "green jersey " which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over short distances, and the "polka dot jersey" for the best rider in the mountains along the route.

Electric ears 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 vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. 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 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. It"s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. 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 propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won"t get you nearly as far---so electric cars bum more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal,or hydro, or solar, or wind,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 too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
小题1: What does "clueless" mean in paragraph 2?
A.People are seeing the California Greens everywhere.
B.People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
C.People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D.People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning
coal, oil,etc.
小题2: What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Electric cars are not clean at all
B.Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C.People cast doubts on electric cars" batteries.
D.Gasoline is an efficient way to powera vehicle.
小题3: The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our ear run         
A.not less than 25 milesB.more than 25 miles
C.no more than 25 milesD.not more than 25 miles
小题4: According to the passage, electric cars                 .
A.do not burn fuel and more environmentally-friendly
B.are toxic because it is difficult for nature to clean it up when their
batteries are buried in one spot.
C.are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D.are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
小题5: It can be inferred from the passage that                 
A.being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning
something
C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D.electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered
cousins

Today’ s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are ______36 with AmericanEnglish, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 37 with pictures.

It is commonly believed among many Chinese that Westerners who take “Yes’,and “No” by their facial expressions are more straightforward than Chinese. Normally Westerners don * t have to adopt Chinese ways like sweeping the floor or constantly checking the clock to indicate to a guest that it’ s time to leave. They don’ t have to hesitate in saying “No” when they are not able to, or don’ t want to, offer help to a friend in need. There is no embarrassment attached to this behavior. But it is too simple to conclude that Westerners are more direct speakers than the Chinese.
There are many occasions when the way Westerners express themselves makes Chinese look more straightforward and honest. When I was a fresh international student,the director of our program once asked students in an e-mail what we thought about a young professor. I simply said ’ “She seems to know a lot but doesn* t know how to teach. ” And the director replied with “Thank you for being honest. ”
Only years later when I better understood the new culture,I realized why I had gone too far. If that question were asked now,the reply would have three paragraphs devoted to the qualities of the professor before the last line came out — ” There are some gaps in her teaching method. ” Still tough, but at least it wouldn"t be considered rude.
Indeed, the reserved social norms and the deeply - rooted “face issue" make honest speaking risky in China ; Americans have their own ways of being polite. This results partly from political correctness. It also results from several generations of people who have been told they have done well even when they have failed. It may not be unfair to suggest that many Americans are oversensitive and obsessed with a perfect self image.
So,the next time you hear about indirect Chinese,it would be worth challenging the source and pointing out that the cultural comparisons are much more complex. But maybe you should do it in a roundabout way,to be polite.
小题1:The passage mainly aims to •
A. tell us something about culture distinctions
B. remind us of the conflicts between cultures
C. ask us to take positive attitudes to Chinese cultures
D. keep us informed of the various communications
小题2:According to the passage, the young professor lacked   .
A. confidence in her job
B. teaching experience
C. interaction with her students
m
D.responsibility for her students
小题3:   The underlined words “obsessed with" (para.4) probably means   .
A.satisfied withB.proud ofC.addicted toD.stuck in
小题4:   It can be inferred from the passage that    .
A. the writer has a good knowledge of American culture
B. Americans are much more straightforward than Chinese
C. the new professor was very angry with the writer" s comments
D. different culture backgrounds make cultures comparison complicated
