Water is the most common substance(物质) found on the earth, but less than 1% of the earth’s water is suitable for drinking. More than 1,000,000,000 people around the world survive on just over 1 galon of water a day. Probebly more than 3,000,000,000 people may suffer from not having enough water by the year 2025. You are considered lucky if you live in a country where you can drink water out of your kitchen tap or bathroom tap. People in some countries have to pay for drinking water at home. So clean water is one of our most valuabe natural resources(资源). In fact, peole waste so much clean water today. In factories lots of water is wasted. At home many people are not taking showers but still baths, and many are brushing their teeth with the tap turned on. Children are no longer taught how to save water…. You can save clean water in many ways. For example, if you keep gold fish, the tank water excellent for graden plants. And when you wash a milk bottle, pour the water on your house plants. Putting a brick or a water into your toilet tank many help use less water, saving many gallons over a long time. Using rainwater is another simple way to save clean water. You can use rainwater to wash your hands after gardening, flush the toilet, and wash your car, your pet, your driveway when they are dirty. For the same reason, people in Malaysia are encourageed to use rainwater. If one has a house with a small garden, he would buy a huge plastic tank to keep rainwater for their daily life. 小题1:We can learn from the passage ______.A.when man can’t live without water | B.where there is no water resource | C.why there is less water on the earth | D.how important it is to save water | 小题2:According to the passage, one of the ways to save water is _______.A.to stop keeping gold fish | B.to pay much for drinking water | C.to use it in a clever way | D.to educate those who waste water | 小题3:The underlined word “flush” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.A.clean something with water | B.pour water over something | C.make somehting wet with water | D.get water out of someghing | 小题4:People are ecouraged to use rainwater _______.A.so that is can make our life easier | B.so that clean water can be kept for other uses | C.because is it free and easy to get | D.because there is no claen water left for them |

Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I enjoy doing so because I keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to our English writing ability. Compared with forms of writing, it is shorter and less time. It can help us to the habit of thinking in English. we persist in (坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve in or out of English classes to describe our , and this way we can master and use freely we’ve learned, which will do good us in English learning. But we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there many idiomatic(惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them English properly. As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever beats (难倒)us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for , if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of use to keep a diary in English for the development of our skills.

There are many differences between America and China. The biggest difference is traffic rules. In America there are too much more cars than in China. But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China. We hardly see traffic police in the street, but all cars obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street. About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as: 1. Stop line: There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). All cars must stop while meeting the stop line. 2. Traffic light: There is traffic light in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction. The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. When he thinks being safe, he may turn left. In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. If people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. Only so, they may do it. 3. Specific item: Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of cars. There are many streets in some residential areas (住宅区), and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. In every parking, there are some special positions for invalid (伤残的) people. 4. About the priority of passenger and car: At any case, passengers have the priority to cars. And only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep, cars may go ahead. In general, traffic rules of America are very specific, convenient, safe and humanizing. 小题1:Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in America?A.Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules. | B.The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street. | C.There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can’t be seen. | D.The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety. | 小题2:Why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road?A.It is designed for the cars that want to turn left. | B.It is very safe to drive there. | C.It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules. | D.The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left. | 小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.In America, all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line. | B.In America, any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas. | C.If people want to turn, they can obey the guide of the traffic police. | D.There are more traffic jams in China. | 小题4:What’s the best title for the passage?A.American Traffic Rules | B.Differences in Traffic Rules between China and America | C.Traffic Jams in America | D.American People Who Obey Traffic Rules |

An English saying goes: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” That means we should relax after a day’s hard work or we’ll be unhealthy. Many students know that if they want to get ideal jobs with good salaries, they must do well in high school so they can enter good universities. Therefore, they spend all day studying without time to relax. However, not all students can go to top universities even if they work very hard. Students are pressurized by parents and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while ignoring their hobbies and individual differences. As a result, students are forces to work harder and harder. Furthermore, there is pressure coming from students themselves. They realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top university as competition is fierce. So, they put a lot of stress on themselves and stay in a nervous state day after day. If they keep it up, they’ll suffer illnesses; both psychological and physical. What students need is relaxation. This doesn’t mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard. It means “work while you work, play while you play”. If you can do this, you will improve your health greatly. You’ll feel yourself suddenly fresh, just like recovering from a terrible illness. You’ll find that your studies are not a burden(负担) anymore. 小题1:The underlined part in the first paragraph might mean all the following EXCEPT______.A.too much work may bring trouble to anyone | B.overwork without rest is sure to make one foolish | C.Jack becomes dull because he works too much | D.Anyone who doesn’t work will break down | 小题2:What trouble have both the parents and teachers brought to the students?A.They don’t know how to let the students relax. | B.They give too much burden for them to bear. | C.They don’t love those who work the hardest. | D.They fail to understand what the students need most. | 小题3:What causes the student’ pressure from themselves?A.That they don’t know how to get top universities. | B.That they want to relax but have no chance. | C.That they fail to relax themselves during their work. | D.That they think too much about the result of their work. | 小题4:What is the passage mainly about?A.What to do to relax yourself. | B.The serous situation for the poor students. | C.Some problems caused by the misunderstanding of learning. | D.How to be a healthy and successful learner. |

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻觉). There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work. Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend(倾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime. 小题1:According to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because ___________ .A.they have hallucinations | B.they feel sleepy during the working hours | C.they don’t have enough sleep | D.they are certain to be kept from going to bed | 小题2:Which of the following is TRUE?A.All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep. | B.Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours. | C.Quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep. | D.No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours. | 小题3:Whether you have got enough sleep is judged by__________.A.how many hours you have slept | B.how many hours you need to sleep | C.whether you do exercise and physical work | D.whether you feel fresh and energetic | 小题4:According to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps__________.A.as long hours as a grown-up | B.much longer hours than a grown-up | C.for 14 hours each night | D.for less than 8 hours per night |

A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going. The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn’t be frightened. The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn’t seem well. It turns out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow. The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild. Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean. “Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea,” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation. “ What happens now is up to the penguin.” Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(发射机)so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south. 小题1:Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?A.On the sunny beach. | B.Near the Antarctic. | C.Inside the hole in the ice. | D.In the depths of the ocean. | 小题2:The public collected some money to______.A.build a home for the penguin | B.get the sand out of the penguin’s belly | C.do some research on the penguin | D.return the penguin to his habitat | 小题3:What does Peter Simpson mean by saying “ What happens now is up to the penguin.”?A.The penguin needs no protection from human. | B.Human beings can do noting to help penguins. | C.No one knows what will happen to the penguins. | D.Whether the penguin can survive depends on himself. |
