The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing
basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may
be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking.
Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of
them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on
them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
  
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.

Scientists have found out that the radiation（輻射） is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（損壞）.
Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.
小題1: ______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.
   
A．B．C．D．
小題2:The radiation from the sun and other stars is ______ to spacemen.
A．goodB．helpfulC．usefulD．harmful
小題3: The underlined word “fragments”means “______”.
A．碎片B．泡沫C．煙霧D．飛碟
小題4: The passage talks about _________ kinds of danger in space.
A．twoB．threeC．fourD．five
小題5: Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space.
B．Every one of us can have a travel to space in ten years.
C．The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen’s children.
D．Space is really dangerous, so it doesn’t interest anyone on the earth.

Forests have always been useful and important to men who make use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from the terrible heat. They’re also useful in preventing(阻止) good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no forests, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface(表層) soil that is so important to plants. The result is that the land will become a desert. There are plenty of desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas used to be very rich areas, but men in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, and they cut down too many trees in the area where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正（T）誤（F）。
1.Trees are not serving man everywhere.
2.Without trees it would be possible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on.
3.Trees can stop man from the terrible heat.
4.There are few desert areas in the world.
5.In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.

Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “l(fā)ight out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear 
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
_______________
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert.

For hundreds Of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化學物質(zhì)) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大腦) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
小題1: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one’s emotions?
A．Weather.B．Actions of others.
C．Personality.D．Age.
小題2:Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?
A．It is a kind of artificial chemical.
B．It makes us worried by affecting our brains.
C．It is needed by us all to keep fit.
D．It is in the sunlight.
小題3: What can we infer (推斷) from the passage?
A．We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.
B．We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.
C．All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.
D．The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.
小題4:What may be the best title for this passage?
A．Why Do We Feel Sad?
B．The Weather Influences People’s Emotions
C．People Need More Vitamin D
D．We Can Hardly Change the Weather

Most people have a cellphone(手機). When you are walking on a busy street, you will see many people speaking on their phones. Many people say they can’t imagine how they live without a cellphone.
Cellphones play an important role in our daily life, such as keeping in touch with others, calling home or the police if there is any emergency. Although cellphones can help us a lot, we must think of others when we use them. Unfortunately, some people do not consider others when using their cellphones. For example, some cellphone users speak too loudly and discuss personal matters in public places. Some people make phone calls in the cinema. Some people talk for a long time on the phone while they are driving on the busy road. Someone’s cellphone will ring during an important meeting. Many people complain about these bad manners. In their opinion, cellphone users shouldn’t disturb others when they make a call.
Then how to use a cellphone politely in public? The following rules will help you. When you’re in a meeting, watching a movie or having a lesson, you’d better turn off your cellphone.

Germs(細菌) are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air!
Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.
Warmer Weather Brings Germs
The world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes, carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches, fever, and can even kill people.

Your skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too. They enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Fighting Germs
Your immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells(細胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.

It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My         little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was perfecting a paper plane, while Sam was         on an oil painting.
But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was         in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to         the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (嘆息) of       .
“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a         .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I           a “mailbox” taped onto the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t         Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of colored scenes including flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低聲說), “        he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it         my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a         day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.
This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the state college, but some things about her have       changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”
There are angels among us. I know I live with one.

At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home.
