A dam is like a wall that is built across a waterway to control the flow of the water.For many years,dams were built only of earth and rocks.Today,many dams are built of concrete.

When a dam is built,water is trapped and held behind the dam.This water forms a lake.The lakes can be used for recreation or for irrigating,or watering crops.The lakes also provide potable water,water that is safe for drinking.This potable water is piped from the lake into houses and other buildings.The lake water further serves as a home,or habitat,for fish and waterfowl.

Dams are often built to provide flood control.Just before the rainy season,the water in the dam is allowed to flow out very slowly.This lowers the water level in the lake so that snowmelt and rainfall can be stored there in every spring and used as needed during the rest of the year.

Some dams are built to use the power of falling water to make electricity.Such dams have powerhouses that contain machines;turbines and generators.Water falls from the lake to the river below the dam.As the water falls,it is sent through the powerhouse.There,the force of the water turns the turbines and generators and produces electrical power needed to light and heat buildings.

1.The word used to describe water that is safe for drinking is .

A.portable water B.dirty water

C.orange juice D.boiled water

2.According to the story,dams are built for different reasons.But all dams .

A.control the flow of water

B.are built of earth and rocks

C.provide electrical power

D.provide potable water

3.If the water level in the lake behind the dam is not lowered before the rainy season,the .

A.water in the dam will flow out too slowly

B.snowmelt and rainfall might cause a flood

C.lake will probably dry up

D.water can irrigate

4.When dams are built to provide electricity,which of the following happens first?Water .

A.is sent through the powerhouse

B.pressure turns the turbines and generators

C.falls from the lake to the river below the dam

D.runs fast

There are two main types of non?verbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that depend on a person’s attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk，how they stand，and their facial features. In other words，any kind of meaning is shown by a person’s attitude or body movements. For example，when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or，if a girl is happy，she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People don’t have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of people’s skin may even show how they feel. For example，if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed，their skin may turn red，or if they are worried，they might get pale. Body language can be voluntary(主動的) or involuntary(無意識的)．An interesting fact is that blind children will smile when happy even though they have never seen a smile.

The next main type of non?verbal communication is gestures. Gestures are communications like facial expressions，hand signals，eye gazing，and body postures. Examples include smiles，handshakes，waving，and raising certain fingers to say something. For instance，if you saw a friend at a noisy carnival，you might smile and wave at your friend. You might also point at the Ferris wheel if you wanted to meet your friend there. You could do all of these things without saying a word. Another great example is in baseball when the catcher signals to the pitcher the kind of pitch to use for the batter that is up.

1.If a boy passes the final exam he ________.

A．might not raise his head

B．might walk home slowly

C．might run home singing

D．might not stand there straight

2.When someone gets pale he is most likely to be ______.

A．a(chǎn)nxious B．surprised

C．embarrassed D．disappointed

3.Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?

A．Body language is mainly expressed by one’s body movements.

B．The blind children can also smile when they are glad.

C．You can also express yourself without saying a word in baseball.

D．Gestures can be shown only by one’s hands.

4.All the following are gestures except ________.

A．hand signals B．coloured skin

C．hand wave D．eye gazing

Frank works at a school called Tumul K’in,which means “New Day” in the local language (Mayan Mopan).The school was founded in 2001 by Belizean Filiberto Penados,who received funding(基金) from the United Nations for the project.

Frank said that there were about 60 students in five grades at the school,and they ranged from 12 to 20 years old.

It was different from other schools in the area,Frank said.While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages,he said,Tumul K’in trained them for those things they could use locally,such as farming and various trades.

“The difference in education is that students at Tumul K’in learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said.“The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”

As for the radio station,Frank said that the effort was part of a programme originally founded by the UN.

“The radio station has been named ‘Ak Kutan FM’,or ‘New Day FM’.It will broadcast health information,such as where people can go to get tested for HIV,as well as report local and national news,” he said.For most,it was the first interaction(互動) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have.

“I can’t stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,”Frank said.“Many have never left their village nor seen something like a telephone,refrigerator or even a world map.”

1.Tumul K’in was founded .

A.by the radio station “Ak’ Kutan FM”

B.with the help of the local people

C.with the help of an international organisation
