The reason why people like "Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. "Survival Holidays" gives them an important change. Is "Survival Holidays" a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play.

Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children.

阅读理解。 Damini Bansal (14 years old) Freedom is something different in everybody's way of thinking—a student would probably like to raise a revolt(造反) against all the obnoxious(易受伤害的) rules of his or her school and as a grown up one might want to have less responsibilities(责任). Freedom according to me is the power in me to make some of my life's decisions on my own. And this Independence Day (独立日) will be a lot more different than our first one in 1947 when people actually came to know what it was like to be free, for them it was the dawn of a new day, it was a day when they could do what they felt was right. We have come far from all of this. We now no longer see the Independence Day as a day of very great importance for the students of my class (and most of the children of my age), and the most important value is that it is a holiday. Arihant Jain (12 years old) We can do anything we want like not going to school. Everything should be free. We should not pay money to buy anything. Can go anywhere I want…to the playground when exams are on. Chatting on phone as long as I want. To eat dinner outside everyday. In school being able to play sports and not study.

阅读理解。 Honey bees are a kind of animal most of us learn about very early. In summer, many people step on honey bees and get stung(螫) while walking without wearing shoes. Honey bees are normally about third fourths of an inch long. Most bees are workers, which are female, but some are male, called "drones(雄蜂)". Workers are a little smaller than drones. Honey bees live in a nest, called a "hive". A hive can have up to 80,000 bees, mostly workers. It usually lies in a tree with a hole inside. The hive is ruled(统治) over by a queen bee. She is the largest bee in the hive, and she is the only female to mate. Males usually just hang around; their only purpose is to mate with the queen. Then they die. The workers do all of the work inside and outside of the hive. Their jobs include: caring for baby bees, cleaning up the hive, making honey...

阅读理解。 Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well not all of them. Scientists in England have built a kind of small robots that get their energy from dead flies, bad apples, or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt(猎取) garden slugs for dinner! What's up with all that food? Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for a long time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don't have electrical sockets(插座). So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: Build robots that get their energy just like animals do by hunting and eating food from their environment. One robot, called Ecobot Ⅱ, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! Of course, it'd still get a lot more power from one AA battery, though. Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system. It seems that after an eight fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn't deal with the leftover(剩下的) "waste". Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls, and robots. 1.An ordinary robot usually . A．gets its energy from sugar B．depends on batteries to work C．can get food for itself D．can work a few minutes without energy 2.From the passage, we can infer that a slug . A．is a kind of insect B．is a kind of fish C．can't see Slugbot D．can eat Slugbot 3.What kind of robots do inventor Chris Melhuish want? A．Robots that can provide people with food. B．Robots that can work in dangerous places. C．Robots that can get energy for themselves. D．Robots that can be very small. 4.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage? A．Robots need to work in places that have no sockets for power. B．Melhuish is not very satisfied with Ecobot Ⅱ. C．Maybe there will be three kinds of restrooms in the future. D．Ecobot Ⅱ can turn its flies into energy completely. 5.What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Robots are hard things to invent. B．Scientists are working to improve robots. C．Robots in the future need to eat food like human. D．Scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory are good at robots.

阅读理解。 When I was seven years old, my family created an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job. On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their "earthquake", one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up their tunnel building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more. Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another. Giving up, I say, is not a good choice. 1.The writer's family when he was seven. A．built a farm of ants B．bought a few ants C．caught a lot of ants D．founded an ant city 2.The underlined word "it" here refers to .

阅读理解。 Do you like listening to music? Does all of the music bring happiness to you? Do you know some music is noise? What is noise? Noise is a loud or unwanted sound. It is also called noise pollution. Where is noise from? Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, planes, farm tractors and TVs. And, to some people, rock bands are also noise. What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors find that noise pollution can influence both our health and behavior. It can cause high stress levels, hearing loss, sleep problems, and other harmful effects.

Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands can measure over 120 decibels. Noise at this high level causes the greatest hearing loss. How do we reduce noise damage?
