Peter is a sixth-grader at Woodland Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. John, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Woodland Secondary School. He began smoking four years ago. “Smoking is part of my life,” John said. Peter and John are not those boys’ real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers start in their teens or earlier.
A study of 8,000 London students shows that smoking is a problem for many British kids. More than 21% of middle school students and 6 % of primary school pupils said they smoked. “If young people start smoking early, it will be very hard for them to give up later on,” said a professor.
Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking,  that number will go up to about ten million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.
小題1:The sentence “Smoking is part of my life” probably means “__________”
A．I don’t smoke very often.
B．Smoking is very important to me.
C．I don’t smoke at all.
D．I’m going to give up smoking.
小題2:What will probably happen if a person starts smoking early?
A．He will surely die early.
B．He cannot stop smoking.
C．It will be difficult for him to give up smoking.
D．He will become lazy soon.
小題3:The study in the passage shows that __________.
A．smoking is a serious problem among British students

小題5:As middle school students, what should we do from now on?

Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you ever heard of typhoons?
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts. One is called the "eye". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.
What to do when a typhoon hits:
·Stay inside, close all the windows and stay away from them.
·Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
·Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
·If you're told to go to a safer place, do so right away.
小題1:Which picture can tell meaning of the underlined sentences "... it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. '?

小題2:When a typhoon comes, we cannot
A．close all the windows
B．listen to typhoon news
C．stay outside with our bikes
D．stay inside the strong house
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.
B．This year Typhoon Peal killed 164 people in Zhejiang.
C．The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the eye of typhoon.
D．A typhoon will happen when the wind goes faster than 30 meters a second.

Sugar—free beets（甜菜）that still taste sweet, tastier tomatoes and brighter-colored fruits and vegetables that stay ripe（熟的）longer are all foods that are being grown now. How can they
carry traits, such as being tastier, brighter, and riper? They are genetically engineered.
Genetic engineering（基因工程）is like making a change in a recipe. For example, when you make cakes, you mix together all of the usual ingredients. If you add an extra ingredient, like salt, the cakes will taste differently.
Genes are ingredients in the recipe for life. They carry the traits of living things. Your genes dictate what color hair and eyes you’ll have, how tall you’ll be, as well as many other traits. Genes carry traits for plants, too. By adding genes to a plant, you can sometimes create new traits. For example, adding a certain gene to a potato plant can make the potato plant distasteful to bugs（蟲子）. This makes some farmers happy because they don’t have to use chemicals to keep bugs away from their plants.
It sounds great, but some people are opposed to the idea of food that is genetically engineered. Ronnie Cummins, from the Campaign for Food Safety, is against it. He says that one of the major concerns is allergies（過敏）. Supermarkets don’t always label foods that are genetically engineered. A customer could unknowingly buy food that has an added gene from another plant that he or she is allergic to. It could be dangerous.
Gary Burton from Monsanto, a seed（種子）company that engineers food, disagrees. He says his company tests for allergies. Burton believes that genetic engineering is a valuable tool for making better food. The technology can help farmers use less insecticide（殺蟲劑）and grow healthier crops. Burton thinks there are many advantages.
But Cummins says that we just don’t know what will happen in the future if we keep adding genes to foods. We could mistakenly create a monster.
People have different opinions about genetic engineering. One side supports it and thinks it will only help us. The other side is opposed to playing with nature and fears health risks. Which side do you think is right?
小題1:What could be a good thing about food that is genetically engineered?
A．It’s more expensive.
B．It could taste different.
C．It requires less insecticide.
D．It’s not labeled in the supermarket.
小題2:In general, who does not support the idea of genetic food?
A．People from seed companies.
B．Farmers who use engineered seeds.
C．People from the Campaign for Food Safety.
D．Scientists who create genetically engineered food.
小題3:It can be inferred that          .
A．growing genetic foods will make farmers richer
B．people will eat more genetic foods in the future
C．using fewer chemicals could make the food tastier
D．there could be unknown dangers about genetic foods
小題4:What is the best title of this passage?
A．Future Farming
B．Genetic Engineering
C．Foods with a Difference
D．Genetically Engineered Fruits

500 years ago in Britain, the burning of coal (煤) was increasing in cities like London. Coal was used in factories and also used to heat homes. Coal, when burnt makes a lot of smoke, which makes the air very dirty.
About 200 years ago, the Industrial Revolution (工業(yè)革命) began in Britain. Factories were built, and even more coal was burnt. Air pollution was becoming a really big problem.
Smoke and fog together make smog (煙霧). Smog was a big problem in London's winter. Because of the cold weather, more coal was burnt to warm houses and this made more smoke.
When smog stayed over a city, it became really hard to breathe and see clearly. In 1952, the Great London Smog happened and more than 4,000 people died because of the smog.
New laws (法律) were made in 1956 and 1968 to stop such sad things from happening again. These laws were called the Clean Air Acts.
These laws were made so that air would become cleaner. The laws encouraged people to use less coal or switch to other fuels such as gas. Factories started using tall chimneys (煙囪) so that the smoke would go high up in the sky and no longer cover cities, and new factories were built in the countryside. Smog appeared less often and the air became cleaner.
小題1:From the passage, we learn that smog was a big problem in ______ in London.
A．springB．summerC．a(chǎn)utumnD．winter
小題2:The underlined words "switch to" mean "______"  in Chinese.

A．Factories built higher chimneys.
B．People began to use less coal.
C．More People began to ride bikes.
D．New factories were built outside cities.
小題4:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Air Pollution in Britain in the Past.
B．How to Make the Air Cleaner.
C．Smog Is Bad for the Environment.
D．New Laws to Stop Air Pollution.

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救護車). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
If we carry our burdens (負(fù)擔(dān)) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. "
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.
