way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around. Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop
the skills."
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of
direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on
the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town. Streams, or walls in the
countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks
such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again!
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense or direction if they are driven around in a car.
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it.
D. remember something easily recognized on the route.
B. use walls, streams and streets to guide yourself.
C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs.
D. count the number of landmarks that you see.

books for you to read:
My favorite book is Don"t Die, My Love by Lurlene McDaniel. I love all her books, but this was the first
one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favorite. It doesn"t end like other books, and I cried while reading.
I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective (侦探) who has many fantastic ideas! I love it because
it"s a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share the fun with her!
I highly recommend Skinny Bones by Barbara Park. It is funny so please add it on your book list. You
don"t want to miss out funny stories!
I would suggest ______ by Judy Blume. It is based on real things that happened to Judy Blume. It is about
a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state. They become friends, make a club and meet once a week.
They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one. I think every
girl should read this because it is about our growing up.
I read a book called Neela: Victory Song and it was so good I read it twice! It takes place in India in 1936
and this 12-year-old girl named Neela tries to save her father! It has lots of history in it! I also learned a lot
about different cultures! The author"s name is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
B. history
C. funny
D. detective
B. Nancy Drew.
C. Don"t Die, My Love.
D. Neela: Victory Song.
B. Growing Trouble
C. Three Friends

these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to
animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won"t carry diseases. They have special animal
food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two
hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.
When you visit people"s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud
of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are
welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any
animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished.
If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as
close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel
lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
B. pets in Canada
C. how to take good care of pets
D. life of the old in Canada
B. the pets are wild
C. they want to stop them from carrying disease

To reach the world"s richest country, you needn"t set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a
tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this country can be
seen from the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific reaches for thousands of miles in all
directions, the nearest piece of land being Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.
Nauro is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capital"s main street. The seaward
side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station
outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.
With Naurans now getting an average(平均) of $44,500 a year, the island"s 60,000 people seem to have little
to worry about. A trip to the island"s central hump(隆峰) tells a slightly different story.
The hump with a great deal of phosphate (磷酸盐) round is Nauru"s wealth. When Nauru gained freedom
from the British government in 1908, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were
left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, which leaves enough only for another 20-25 years.
B. The most beautiful country in the world
C. A small island surrounded by the Pacific
D. A small but rich island country
B. Nauru is not large enough to build the runway of the plane the
C. Naurans are not rich enough to build a runway of the plane
D. no cars run on the main street
A. why Naurans are so rich
B. something more about Nauru
C. something for Naurans to worry about
D. how the British robbed Nauru of their wealth
B. 2,800,000 to 3,500,000 tons
C. 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 tons
D. 400,000 to 500,000 tons
You"re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let"s assume you once actually
completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn"t it tempting to lie
just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra
couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to final trick like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers,
for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a
good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a
well-known university. Registrars at most well known colleges say they deal with deceitful like these at the
rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is
lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them"impostors (骗子)"; Another refers to them as"special cases" one well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most
delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by"no such people."
To avoid total lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or
university. After carefully checking, a personal officer may discover that"attending" means being dismissed
after one semester. It may be that"being associated with" a college means that the job seeker visited his
younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claim says that the practice
dates back at least to the turn of the century-that"s when they began keeping records, anyhow.
If you don"t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony (假的)
diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma
from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from
" Smoot State University." The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the"University of Purdue." As there
is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather
high for one sheet of paper.
B. lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem
C. college degrees can now be purchased easily
D. employers are no longer interested in college degrees
B. students never attended a school they listed on their application
C. students buy false degrees from commercial firms
D. students attended a famous school
B. experience is the best teacher
C. past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do
D. a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition
B. personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools
C. most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school
D. society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications
