More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in．They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down．They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them．

　　When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too．In 1990, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest, In 1980, there were only 200,000．

　　The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil．They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine．But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold．They cut down the forest to make reads．They made more than a hundred airports．The Yanomami people lost land and food．Many died because new diseases come to the forest with the strangers．

　　The Yanomomi people tried to save their forest, because it was their home．But the people who wanted gold were stronger．

　　Many forest people try to save their forests．Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people．“I want the Amazon forest to help all of us——forest people, Brazil, and all the Earth,”he said．A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes．

　　In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood．The Penan People tried to save their rainforest．They made blockades(障礙)across the roads into the forest．In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months．No one cut down any trees during that time．

　　In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest．They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit．

　　The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well．They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees．

　　For most students, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult．Some people find exam time so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and families down．If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings．Talk to someone about it．If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else．

　　How to get through exams?Here are some top tips by educational psychologists(教育心理學(xué)家)：

　　●Ask a teacher or tutor about how to revise, and exam skills－h(huán)ow to work when you are in an exam．

　　●Take short rests during your time of work and revision．If your mind is tired, it will not remember well．

　　●Plan your work：revise at times when you know you will work at your best．

　　●Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food．

　　●If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries．But don’t be too relaxed!Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them．

　　●If it upsets(沮喪)you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it!In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished．What is done is done．You cannot change what you have written!

　　To this advice, we would add：

　　If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards．Your mind will still be “going round and round”－thinking too much．Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise．Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things．

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成表格。

　　You may have learned English for some years．It’s only natural that all of you want to be able to read some English books or magazines without the teacher’s help．Just think of what fun it will give you to finish reading an English story or a whole book by yourself, and how great you will feel if you read even more．

　　But it is common that many people begin hopefully to read in a foreign language, but stop half way in disappointment because of some difficulties．

　　It is important to choose books that are suitable(適合)for the reader．Then what books are suitable for you to choose?

　　Well, I think you should first choose books neither too difficult nor too easy but suitable for you．Then when you are reading, you should never let new words take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story．Just do the job as you often do in your own language．While you are reading, try to guess the meaning of the new words, and to decide which of the key words you could guess and which you have to look up in your dictionary．

　　If you follow the suggestion above, you will be successful in reading any foreign languages．

　　Most of us don’t think too much about world hunger．When we are hungry, we can always find something to eat-usually something delicious．But in many parts of the world–even in some rich countries–adults and children go to bed hungry every day．According to the World Hunger Program in Newport, Rhode Island, 780 million people in the world don’t get enough to eat．One out of every six babies in the world is born underweight and even worse, one out of every three children is underweight at age five．

　　There are two main causes of hunger–food “shortage” and food “poverty”．A food shortage happens when there isn’t enough food in an area to feed all the people that live there．This has happened recently in some African countries when there wasn’t enough rain for people to grow the food they needed．Sometimes a food shortage affects just one part of a country, and other times the entire country is affected．Food poverty is the cause of hunger when people don’t have enough money to buy food．There is plenty of food in the stores, but some people can’t afford to buy enough food, so they go hungry．

Dear friend,

　　When I was younger, I used to be afraid of tests．Today I look forward to taking them．How did it happen?I changed the way I think．I used to look at the good students and wonder why I couldn’t be like them．I thought, “What would I do if I were a really good student?” Now I know the secret．I stopped studying alone and started studying in a group．I used to find memorizing vocabulary very frustrating．Now I go to an English club and read the words aloud．Also I don’t forget my mistakes anymore．Now I write them in my notebook and learn from them．Don’t be afraid．You can be a good student, too．

Carla
