Though great progress has made in science these years, there are still many people lived in poor conditions. They make their living by collecting and selling used thing. Their children cannot go to school because they have no enough money to send their children to there. Why you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion. A president of a developing country once said: “It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to produce child without limit.” Although these few words sound simple enough, but they have clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.

Planning before buying something is a good idea. For example, you are going to buy a pet dog, you still have to consider a few things and plan them well before you welcome it in the house. 1. You will also have to train it well so that it does not misbehave in front of people. You should realize that it is a big responsibility.

The next thing you need to consider is your home, 3.You will also have to consider the family members. If your living place is already too crowded with people, getting a dog as an additional member of the house will not be a good idea.

4.Make sure nobody is allergic(过敏的) to the fur of the dog. Also make sure that you can easily find time to train the dog. Ensure that your family is welcoming to this idea.

5. When you are bringing this best friend in your house you must make sure everything is right for it. You should make life easier for it, as well as others who are living in your house.

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

A. Paul Newman wanted it.

B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

C. He wasn’t famous enough.

D. The director recommended someone else.

2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

A. They were of the same age.

B. They worked in the same theater.

C. They were both good actors.

D. They han similar charactertics.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Their belief.

B. Their care for children.

C. Their success.

D. Their support for each other.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

A. To show his love of films.

B. To remember a friend.

C. To introduce a new movie.

D. To share his acting experience.

 

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday ,but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?

In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.

“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.

“The artwork?”I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

What a relief!

1.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?

A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.

B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.

C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.

D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.

3.Why did the author suddenly smile?

A. Because the dentist came at last.

B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.

C. Because she could relax in the chair.

D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.

4.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

A. Strike while the iron is hot.

B. Have a good word for one's friend.

C. Put oneself in other's shoes.

D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A. Because they are traditional and safe.

B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

C. Because they are colorful and available.

D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.

2.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.

A. to ride it for fun    B. to use it for transport

C. to experience local culture    D. to improve his riding skills

3.How did the author feel about his street crossing?

A. It was boring.    B. It was difficult.

C. It was lively.    D. It was wonderful.

4.Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience

A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

C. The author was praised by the other bikers.

D. The author took great pleasure in biking.

Yesterday, I read article about the Hongkong-zhuhai-macao Bridge, the longer sea-crossing bridge in the world.It is55 kilometers long, which lifespan(使用寿命) is set at120 years. And it can stand heavy storm and earthquakes. What's more, the travel time among Hongkong and Zhuhai is cut from 3 hours to just 30 minutes.

After reading the article, I feel wildly excited. In my opinion, drive a car on the bridge was an enjoyable experience. Besides, my dad didn’t agree with me, because she was not skillful at switching (切换 ) freely between Chinese driving and English driving. Though I can understand him now. but I do hope someday we can drive on the bridge.

You discover a shampoo that leaves your hair looking beautiful. But gradually, as you use it more, it's magical effects seem to disappear. "It’s just your hair getting used to it, "your mom says. And so you put the shampoo away and look for your next wonder product.

It sort of makes sense -why would something that left you looking nice at first suddenly start losing its effect after some time? Are there some other factors(因素)at play? Can your hair really get used to a certain shampoo?

Marie Claire spoke to hair experts and it turns out that it’s not true. Your hair cannot get so used to a product that it just stops working.

So what is the deal? Cynthia Alvarez, a famous hair stylist, explained that there are a number of factors leading to your hair puzzle, but basically, it's not the shampoo. "A shampoo does not stop working because your hair get used to it, she said. " If your shampoo stops giving you the results you want. the condition and needs of your hair have most likely changed, or the season may have changed -it's more humid(in $), the sun is stronger, or the air is drier. Your state of health may also be different from a recent illness.

In other words, you need to give up blaming the shampoo. So what can you do to make your hair look beautiful for a little longer? Alvarez suggests changing your ways of hair care when factors, such as the weather, change. Experts also suggest keeping an eye on the amount of shampoo and conditioner(H %i )you're using because over conditioning can be bad for your hair.

1.What is the topic of the first paragraph?

A. A mother s opinion about a hair conditioner.

B. A misunderstanding about shampoo.

3.According to Cynthia Alvarez, how many factors have effect on your hair condition?

A. One    B. Two    C. Three    D. Four

4.To keep your hair looking nice, you should_______

A. keep your way of hair care

B. change the shampoo regularly

C. keep an eye on changes in your health condition

D. use a proper amount of shampoo every time

 

As scientists in the Netherlands tried to figure out how to build a super flying robot, they learned from one of nature s flyers: the humble fruit fly(果蝇).And by building this robot, they’ve gained new insights into how the fly carries out one of its dangerous tasks.

The robot is called the DelFly Nimble Its wingspan(冀展)is about a foot wide. It has four wings that can beat at 17 times per second, which appear very delicate because they’re made of the same material as space blankets.

In the previous designs. they always had a tail, like a traditional airplane tail, said the robots main designer Matej Karasek. He’s based at the Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and he and his colleagues published their findings on Thursday in Science

“In the previous generations", he said, "flapping wings drove the robot forward while the tail helped to guide and stabilize it. But now the DelFly Nimble is completely controlled by the wings.

As Amy Hagdorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom. she ran into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.

“Watch it. dwarf(54 f). "the boy yelled, as he kept away from the little third grader. Then, with an unfriendly smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and imitated the way Amy limped(跛行) when she walked.

Amy closed her eyes for a moment.

“Forget it!” she told herself as she headed for her classroom.

It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. The tease made Amy feel all lonely.

Ideas of making the first weeks of high school easy

Frank. aged 21

I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day, You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!

Sharon. aged 22

The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.

Eddie. aged 20

When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard. but things will become easier before you know it.

David. aged 19

I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on(J E )you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
