Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.

To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.

A．a(chǎn) history book                          B．a(chǎn) TV guide

C．a(chǎn) science book                         D．a(chǎn) telephone book

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.
In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg. ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, flight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?
The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(電線) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.
In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(傳染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do”dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do”clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the piece of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like to 2021?
【小題1】In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?
A．Smiling at people, saying “hello”.
B．Sending food or opening doors by himself
C．Fighting, climbing or running fast
D．Collecting waste for patients
【小題2】What makes Saya look real?
A．Her face and rich expressionsB．Her clothes and shoes
C．Her walking and running speedD．Her rich knowledge
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Robots have come a long way since 1986.
B．The first robot teacher was made by Honda.
C．Saya looks like a small astronaut.
D．If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.
【小題4】The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.
A．nurses would have more free time with patients
B．robots would not take the place of humans
C．dirty and clean work is always done by the same person
D．mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

My daughter finally lost her first tooth. She waited for this moment for more than a year.

Most of the kids in the first grade lost not only one tooth, but several. But my daughter kept waiting impatiently. Then, she finally got a loose (松的) tooth. I never saw her so happy — except on Christmas, Children’s Day or her birthday. Last Friday night, she was eating an apple, and the tooth started to become loose. Minutes later, my daughter shouted happily. The tooth was out!

I cleaned it off and put it under her pillow (枕頭). When she went to bed that night, my daughter wondered, “Will the tooth fairy (牙仙) let me keep the tooth?” I told her she might and she’d have to wait and see.

The tooth fairy comes from an old story. It’s believed that when a kid loses his first tooth and puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will come to visit him when he is sleeping. If the tooth fairy sees the kid and loves him, she will leave some money under his pillow without taking away the tooth. If she doesn’t think the kid lovely enough, she will still leave some money but take the tooth away.

And then I put a dollar in my bag so that I’d remember to put it under my daughter’s pillow. However, I forgot. Luckily, her dear dad remembered.

1. How many of the following things make the writer’s daughter happy?

a. Christmas   b. Children’s Day

c. her birthday        d. the missing tooth

A. One.                        B. Two.             C. Three.                D. Four.

2. What do the two underlined words in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. my daughter; the tooth fairy                 B. my daughter; my daughter

C. the tooth fairy; my daughter                 D. the tooth fairy; the tooth fairy

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The daughter is a second-grader. 

B. The writer is a mother.              

C. The real tooth fairy in the story is the writer.

D. Several kids in the daughter’s class lost one tooth.

4.What may be the best ending of the story?

A. A new tooth grew during my daughter’s sleep that night.

B. My daughter woke up at midnight and saw the beautiful tooth fairy.

C. The next morning my daughter was glad to find the money and the tooth.

D. The other kids in the first grade laughed at my daughter because she lost a tooth.
