My sister Alli and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟蒂) for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”. At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is Not Your Ashtray(烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown---in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the earth. But it does! All rubbish does. Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts. At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America. And there are even groups in England, Australia and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.

In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back. Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs. Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed. To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment. The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space. “It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.” 1.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged? A. They cannot repair themselves. B. The computer has changed a lot. C. They have no computers inside. D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes. 2.The new technology allows the robot to _________. A. do housework for humans B. keep work ing after being damaged C. remember a lot of information D. tell people where it is 3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________. A. sensors B. robots C. arms and legs D. scientists 4.How do the sensors in the robot work? A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken. B. They can find out where the damage comes from. C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition. D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot. 5. The passage is probably from_____________. A. an advertisement B. a tour guide C. an application D. a newspaper

Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine. The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure. More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion(宗教) and its old traditions. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics(政治). That’s why he is so loved in the US – he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly. He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901. “Tom was a great hero once more——the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself. 1.According to the writer, after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think ___. A. it’s not worth all the praise B. it’s as wonderful as you imagined C. it’s better to read it with teachers D. it’s even better than you imagined 2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. A brief(简要的) description of the novel. B. Where Twain’s idea of childhood comes from. C. How naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer is. D. What makes Tom Sawyer’s adventures so wonderful. 3.What does the underlined word “mock” mean? A. make changes to B. make fun of C. give reasons for D. give examples of 4. Why is Twain so loved in the US according to the article? A. He supported women’s right to vote. B. He wrote bad things about US wars abroad. C. He criticized American culture and society(社会) clearly and cleverly. D. He showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would love. 5. Which is the best title of this passage? A. Mark Twain never stops laughing at US society B. Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer C. Mark Twain’s life D. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others. Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories. Spencer Johnson’s story Who Moved My Cheese? shows changes exist in(存在于) our life. Life changes and so we do. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail. Just look at the cycle of the seasons. Trees bud(发芽) in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly. Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life. We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible(灵活的). We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life. So we should change ourselves when life changes. Please answer the following questions with no more than five words. 1.How do writers share their life experiences? _________________________________________________________________________ 2.Who wrote the story Who Moved My Cheese ? _________________________________________________________________________ 3.What does Who Moved My Cheese? tell us ? _________________________________________________________________________ 4.When do leaves start to fall onto the ground? _________________________________________________________________________ 5.What should we do when life changes?

Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height. No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future. Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others: 1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on. 2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person. 3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…” To use an old phrase “Safety is everyone’s duty.” Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “Everyone wants to go home in the same condition they came to work in –or better.” Title: _1.__ at Work
