     In most places children are banned from working. But at a theme park in Japan, boys and girls can
fight fires, catch thieves and also perform the more boring tasks of making hamburgers and delivering
parcels.
     Kidzania, in a shopping centre in Tokyo, is like a real town where children can act out their dreams
of future careers. The streets are lined with shops and even a bank. Everything inside is two-thirds normal
size to accommodate (容纳) the young workers. After their parents buy the ticket, children can try
several jobs.
     Being a firefighter is a dream of many children. Children are being trained in the fire station of the town. Suddenly an alarm bell rings and they put on firefighter clothes before running towards the scene. The
scene is created with lighting and fake smoke, but for children it is real enough. "Sometimes it"s too hard
for them," says the worker Ryoko Ishikura. "Some kids are in tears when they hear the alarm and the
fire breaks out. But even with tears in their eyes they go on running and fight the fire bravely." 
     The idea for Kidzania started in Mexico. It arrived in Japan three years ago and there are also parks in Chile, Indonesia and Portugal. Another one is opening soon in Dubai.
     The children are rewarded for their efforts in "Kidzos", the theme park money. In most countries it is
quickly spent in shops and restaurants. But in Japan, children form long queues at the theme park"s bank. "I"ll keep it in the bank," said nine-year-old Noa Morita, who wants to be a fashion designer. 1. What do children mainly do in Kidzania?A. They are trained to be volunteers.
B. They play roles in children’s movies.
C. They experience their future jobs.
D. They learn how to make and save money.2. When children arrive at a fire scene in Kidzania, they        .A. are frightened to run away
B. call the firefighters quickly
C. tried to put out the fire bravely
D. are trained to fight the fire3. How did Noa Morita deal with her Kidzos?A. She spent it quickly in shops.
B. She put it in the park’s bank.
C. She asked her parents to keep it for her.
D. She used it to pay for fashion courses.4. What can we learn about Kidzania from the text?A. The idea came from America.
B. Japan is the fourth country to build it.
C. Everything inside it is almost half normal size.
D. It looks like a real town with shops and a bank.

     It"s important that you know some basic safety tips when you choose toys for your kids. Good toys
are a great investment, but they just need to be safe. Believe it or not, there are quite a few dangerous
toys on the market. So, here are some simple tips to keep in mind that will help you buy the safe ones.
     ●Tip 1 Consider the size of the toys.
     When you are considering toys for your kids, the first thing you need to do is to consider the size of
the toys. You don"t want to purchase toys that come with small parts, such as wheels, eyes, or buttons.
If these parts come off, they can be swallowed. This is especially important if you happen to have kids
who are under the age of four.
     ●Tip 2
     The shape of the toys you choose should also be taken into consideration. Make sure that they don"t
have any blunt (钝的) ends or edges that are very sharp. Metal toys and glass toys should be avoided.
     ●Tip 3 Find out about surface safety.
     Find out about the safety of the surface before you purchase any toys. Try to find a label that will let
you know if there are any toxic substances (有毒物质) that you need to know about. Some toys lately
have been painted with paint that was toxic, and other toys often contain liquids in them that are toxic to
kids if they happen to leak out.
     ●Tip 4 Beware of strings.
     Beware of strings when you are buying toys. Strings can be very dangerous to your children,
especially if you have younger children. They can get wrapped up around your children"s body, and this
is very dangerous, especially if the string gets wrapped around their neck. So, it"s best to avoid toys             . 1. What does the text mainly talk about? (Please answer within 8 words.)
                                                                      
2. Give a title to the third paragraph. (Please answer within 5 words.) 
                                                                      
3. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words. (Please answer with 5 words.)
                                                                      
4. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
By no means should you buy metal toys and glass toys.
                                                                      
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.

阅读理解。     Modern inventions have speeded up people"s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred
miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at
lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are
produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious
seconds in handling tasks.
     All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the
world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag;
our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at
computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their danger, according
to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence
we do not like to think about.
     However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems.
We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even
just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story
on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world.
     There was a time when some people"s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land
or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a
familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we
do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often
lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modem machinery has
freed people from that primitive existence.1. The new products become more and more time-saving because ______.A. time is limited
B. the manufacturers boast a lot
C. the prices are increasingly high
D. our love on speed seems never-ending2. What does "the days" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Imaginary life.
B. Times of inventions.
C. Simple life in the past.
D. Time for constant activity.3. What is the author"s attitude towards the modern technology?A. Critical.
B. Objective.
C. Optimistic.
D. Negative.4. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past times.
B. Machinery and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions.
D. Modern technology and its influence.
