Wind is the great maker of waves. There are exceptions (例外), such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes caused by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are caused by winds blowing over the sea .
Now let’s learn some physical (自然地理學(xué)的) things about it. A wave has height, from low point to high point . It has length (長(zhǎng)度)--the distance from this high point to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding high points to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same--for all depend upon (依靠)the wind, upon the depth (深度) of the water and many other matters.
The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position (原先的位置). And it is lucky that this is so. For if the huge groups of water that make up a wave really moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible. If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way : Speed =" wavelength" × frequency (頻率).
Here, wavelength is the distance between two high points , frequency means the number of cycles per second
小題1:What causes waves?
A．Earthquakes and nothing else. B．Only wind.
C．Wind causes most waves. D．Wind causes some waves.
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The water of a wave moves away across the sea.
B．The water of a wave remains almost at the same place.
C．The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave.
D．The length of a wave means the distance from the top of a wave to the bottom.
小題3:The speed of Wave 1 is 100 cm/s, frequency 10. The frequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice that of Wave 1. Which of the following is right?
A．The wavelengths of the two are equal.
B．The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2.
C．The wavelength of Wave 2 is longer than that of Wave 1.
D．The wavelength of Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2.
小題4:Where can we find this passage?
A．music magazineB．fashion magazineC．scientist magazineD．sports magazine

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:C

Someone is singing next door, but you feel unhappy because her singing is terrible. So you think she is just making noise. We know that too much noise makes people feel terrible.
Scientists are still trying to find out more about noise, but already it is known that a noise of over 85 decibels(分貝) can make some people tried and anxious(焦慮的).
In the past we thought only workers in very noisy places became deaf easily. Today, scientists believe that 10% of all workers in Britain become deaf in their work.
There are also new dangers from noise. Pop music, for example, can reach 120 decibels when it is played loudly five feet away! Only a plane can make such loud noise when it takes off.
There was an experiment in the United States. Some people would be given a lot of money if they stood below a jet when it was taking off over their heads. No one got the money after the jet flew past because all of them died in the noise.
People can’t pay their attention on what they are doing when there is much noise. Workers in noisy offices, for example, do their work more slowly than workers in quiet offices. Another study shows that workers in factories can do dull(枯燥的) jobs better when lively music is played for them.

So the most useful way is to let students living in the   43  village take a special school bus which is for them only. And the cost is   44  by their parents and the school.

Many people think that water will never be used up（用盡）because there are many rivers and lakes. And the rain can make us get enough fresh water. Also, we can dig wells（井）to find fresh water under the ground. In fact, it is wrong and dangerous to think so. In some areas, people fight（爭(zhēng)斗）for fresh water. There is little rain there all year round. Let’s look around us. Some factories pour（倒）dirty water into rivers. And some people drop litter into rivers. We see polluted water here and there.
