allergies (过敏症) that can cause attacks. Exercise is another common cause of an attack. Besides, the stress
of school can make asthma worse.

10-year-old son, Alexander, has had asthma since he was a baby. Before the school year starts, she tells
school workers in writing about her son"s asthma.
The Gees live in Kentucky, which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication
(药物治疗)with them at school. Alexander"s mom makes sure he has his inhaler (人工呼吸器) with him
when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware, where Jeremy lives, kids are
allowed to carry their inhalers at school.

| March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993. Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water, but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use? Water shortage The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water. How to save water Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks! Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day. Fix the leak. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason! We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, every time. | |||

How many suggestions does the writer give us to save water? (1 word) _____________________________________________________________________________ 3. What example does the writer give us to show fresh water is a life-or-death issue? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 4.

| Everyone who has eaten instant noodles (方便面) before knows how it looks like. It is very easy to cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG (味精) packets, together with your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in front of us. Many people who enjoy eating instant noodles frequently do not really think too much of it as it seems very normal to everyone to have it nicely shown in front of us. However, researches have shown that the wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too frequently. It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles as our body need about 3 days to clear that layer of wax coating away from our body system. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating stored in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is stored in our body system for a long period of time. There are 2 key points to take note while preparing instant noodles: 1) Wash the instant noodles with warm water first, stir it and pour away the water containing the wax coating. 2) Repeat Step 1 and try to stir the noodles again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking it in a new pot of water.

| Northern Europeans spend a lot of time in their cold and cloudy winters planning their summer holidays. They are proud of their healthy color when they return home after the holiday. But they also know that a certain amount of sunshine is good for their bodies and general health. In ancient Greece people knew about the curing powers of the sun, but this knowledge was lost. At the end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor, Niels Finsen, began to study the effect of sunlight on certain diseases, especially diseases of the skin. He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in man-made produced rays. Sunlight began to play a more important part in curing sick people. A Swiss doctor, Auguste Rollier, made full use of the sun in his hospital at Leysin. Leysin is a small village high up in the Alps. The position is important, the rays of the sun with the greatest healing power are the infra-red (红外线的) and ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays; but ultra-violet rays are too easily lost in fog and the polluted air near industrial towns. Dr. Rollier found that sunlight, fresh air and good food cure a great many diseases. He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis(结核病) with his"sun-cure". There were a large number of children in Dr. Rollier"s hospital. He decided to start a school where sick children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn. It was not long before his school was full. In winter, wearing only shorts, socks and boots, the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the hospital. They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school books. Their teacher led them over the snow until they reached a slope (斜坡)which faced the sun and was free from cold winds. There they set out their desks and chairs, and school began. Although they wore hardly any clothes, Rollier"s pupils were very seldom cold. That was because their bodies were full of energy which they got from the sun. But the doctor knew that sunshine can also be dangerous. If, for example, tuberculosis is attacking the lungs, unwise sunbathing may do great harm. Today there is not just one school in the sun. There are several in Switzerland, and since Switzerland is not the only country which has the right conditions, there are similar schools in other places. | |||
| 1. According to the passage, when did people began to realize sunlight played a more important part in the treatment of disease? | |||
| A. From ancient times. B. At the end of the nineteenth century. C. Not until this century. D. Only very recently. | |||
| 2. Why are a Danish doctor and a Swiss doctor mentioned in the second and third paragraphs? | |||
| A. Because they both made use of sunlight to treat illness. B. Because they were the first people who used sunlight for treatment. C. Because they were both famous European doctors. D. Because they used sunlight in very different ways. | |||
| 3. Dr Rollier set up a "sun-cure" school probably for the reason that _____. | |||
| A. most children could stay in his hospital B. children could study while being treated C. the school was expected to be full of pupils D. the school was high up in the mountains | |||
| 4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage? | |||
| A. "Sun-cure" schools are becoming popular everywhere. B. Switzerland is the only country where "sun-cure" schools are popular. C. Proper Conditions are necessary for the running of a"sun-cure" school. D. "Sun-cure" schools are found in countries |
