When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over. You don’t want to work. You stay in bed, feeling terrible.
What makes you ill? They are germs. Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t see them with your eyes, but you can find them with a microscope（顯微鏡）. They are very small and there could be lots of them on or in a very small thing.
Germs are always in the dirty water. When you look at dirty water under a microscope, you will see them in it. So your parents will not let you drink dirty water.
People can also find germs in the air and dust. If you cut your finger, and if some of the dust goes into the finger, it will become big and red, and you will have much pain. Sometimes they will go into your body and you will have pain everywhere.

The rules（規(guī)則，常規(guī)） in American schools
Greetings
You needn’t greet your teachers when you come into a very big class. If you are late for class, you may go into the classroom quietly. But you should say sorry to the teacher after class.
Answering questions
Don’t talk when somebody else is speaking. If you have something to say, you have to wait. When someone is speaking, you shouldn’t interrupt him or her. If you want to answer the teacher’s questions, you may stand up and speak loudly. It’s impolite to keep quiet when your teacher asks you questions. If you don’t know the answers, you can say “I’m sorry”.
Other interesting rules
Some American schools don’t allow students to wear caps, sunglasses or too large trousers. And they can’t bring any bananas to school. The school bags for the students are usually sheer （透明的）, so teachers can find what’s in it easily.

The English language is changing all the time. New words are created, like DIY, SDA and e-mail. How do words come into English? Many words are borrowed from other languages. From Chinese, for example, English has borrowed words like kowtow and kung fu.
Words have also come into English in unusual ways. Words like classroom and mooncake are two short words which are put together. Also, parts of two words are put together and become a new word. For example, smog comes from smoke and fog. Some words come from longer words, like TV from television, and math from mathematics. Don’t you think all these make English an interesting language?

The world is not hungry，but it’s thirsty.   1  while we say we are short of water.Why？Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can‘t drink or use for watering plants directly.Man can only drink and use the 3% of water that comes from rivers and lakes.   2  ，because some of it has been polluted.
　　Now more water is needed.The problem is how we can avoid a serious water shortage in the future.  3 Scientists are making study in this field.Today，In most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.but it can be used again.Even if every large city reused its water，the water will still not be enough. 4 .
　　The sea seems to give us the best answer.There is a lot of water in the sea.All that needs to be get the salt out of the sea water.This will be expensive，but it has already been used in many parts of the world.   6 So you see，if we can find out a way，we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment(環(huán)境) clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean. Here are the things students often do.
Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste(浪費(fèi)) twenty to forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run. Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school! We love our environment. Let’s work together to make it clean!
【小題1】 After mending the broken toilets, they save _______.

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near one another, so the first village was established. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became even larger.
When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.
Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future we will use computers in everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. People will use the Internet to play games, see films and buy food. Also,we can use the Internet to make telephone calls.
Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communication (交際). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.
Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We’ll read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn to lots of pages and we will save lots of paper. We will use more and more computerized (計算機(jī)化的) books
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure(愉快的事) as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely (不大可能) that many people will want to read large texts on our computers, because paper books may be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits .
【小題1】In the future , people will use computers for ___.

What can we do when someone hurts you?Most people may be angry or even fight with the one who hurts him or her?But it’s not a good idea.The best way is to forgive(寬恕，原諒 ) them.
Although（盡管）it is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us,it is possible.”Forgiveness makes you more helpful.And it is god for our health,”says Frederic,phD,the writer of the book called Forgive for God.
But how can we forgive others?It is really a problem.Let’s see how we can do it.First,think of something beautiful and the people you love.Try to get yourself happy. Second,don’t wait for others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you,he or she won’t say sorry to you.They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. Third, try to see things in others’ shoes.You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s（對方）point.That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier. At last,don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge( 挑戰(zhàn) ).And it also makes you more confident.

A fight with him or her      B.say sorry to him or her
C. forgive him or her       D.write letter to him or her
【小題2】According to this passage,we can know that writer thinks forgiving others is _____.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the window. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one .You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
【小題1】Why do many people like to travel by plane?
