Do you know you could get sick just by walking past a building? The bacteria(細(xì)菌) that cause Legionnaire's disease grow very fast in large modern buildings. They are carried by air through the buildings and outside. Legionnaire s disease is only one of the illnesses that are caused by "sick buildings".
Some buildings can make you ill because their heating and air-conditioning(空調(diào)調(diào)節(jié)系統(tǒng)) are controlled(控制). Air from outside cannot get in through the closed windows; This indoor air pollution is a growing problem.
Legionnaire's disease may be the most serious result of sick buildings, but other unpleasant illnesses can appear.People who work in some buildings suffer （受苦）from tiredness, feeling sick and headaches. Their offices look bright and clean, but invisible(無形的) and dangerous bacteria are in the air around them.
There is an answer to the problem. The air-conditioning and heating can be tested for bacteria. Once the tests are finished, the sick buildings can be cured. This is expensive to do, but the results are good. The people in the buildings no longer get sick, and everybody is happier.

It is December 25th, 2050. The people in the city are all celebrating Christmas. I’m the mayor of our city. My citizens and I are holding a big party under the sea, though you wouldn’t believe it. But please do not feel excited, you should feel sad because we have to live under the sea. Because of the pollution, the earth has been completely destroyed, from top to bottom. The atmosphere has no oxygen and moisture. As a result, the plants are burned by the strong sunlight with a great number of harmful rays. Of course, none of them are still alive. Not only no green, but also the temperature reaches about 121℃ all day even in winter because there is too much CO2 circling the earth.
On the land, there is no life. Luckily, the sea is not destroyed by human. So, we have to move into the sea. At the bottom of the water, people have built many new cities.

There are two machines making oxygen. If they stop working for only one minute, more than 10 million people will die.

Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the corridor (走廊). However,students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷磚) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.
Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (動能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be generated ( 產(chǎn)生). After one year, the electricity generated from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or power(供電) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing, isn’t it?
The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students can not only play on the corridor,but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other devices ( 設(shè)備) in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be creative. They will be inspired to be scientists, inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all humans.
The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are not Laurence’s only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which can be used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.

(C)The earth is not only, but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you. because nearly 70% of the earth’s surface（表面）is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only use the other 3%—the fresh water from rivers, lakes, and other sources. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, the fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water, one of the first step is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道), from there it returns to sea or runs into underground (地下)places.
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
小題1: The earth is thirsty for water because_______ .
A．man has not enough food to eat.
B．we haven’t had enough fresh water

小題2:The underlined word “valuable ” means _______.         .
A．much and saltB．fresh and enough

小題3: What can we do if we want to have enough fresh water?
(a) make good use of the sea water.
(b) carry salt water into lakes and rivers.
(c) try to save the fresh water as much as possible
(d) do our best to use the water again.
(e) drink and use all the water on the earth’s surface
A．(c)and(e)B．(a) and (b)
C．(a), (c)and(d)D．(b) , (d) and(e)
小題4: The best but the most difficult way to solve the water problem of the world is to ___

ARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US.
During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (評定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.?
Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.
From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血壓). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.
Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.
According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦慮) are usually linked to bad health.
But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?
小題1:Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?
A．self-controlled. B．Stressed.
C．Shy. D．Careless.
小題2:From the passage, we learn that careful people ____.
A．a(chǎn)re too shy to talk to strangers
B．love to ask the doctor for advice
C．a(chǎn)re likely to have a healthy lifestyle
D．may have high blood pressure when they’re older
小題3:Where can you probably read the article?
A．Newspaper. B．Science fiction book.
C．Research paper.D．Travel guide.
小題4:What is the main idea of the article?
A．People can change their personality type.
B．Scientists have found two different personality types.
C．Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle.
D．Personalities say something about our health.

Tiangong-1 is China’s first space module(艙). It was sent into space in 2011. It will be developed into a large space station around 2020. A space station is a lab for scientific studies.Shenzhou X performed its first docking（對接）with Tiangong-1 on June 13. It docked twice during the 15 days.
The US, Russia, Japan, Canada and Europe are working together on the International Space Station (ISS).China wanted to join the ISS but was refused by the US. China decided to build its own space station.

Teaching from space
Wang Yaping, China’s second woman astronaut, taught high school and primary school students about space science. Wang talked about how things move in a micro-gravity(微重量)environment. This helped the students better understand some physics ideas, like Newton’s Law. The lessons aimed to encourage more students to learn about the universe and science.
Life up in space
The three astronauts followed a work and rest schedule（作息時間）that is similar on the Earth. They had Chinese dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken and fried rice. The food was kept in special bags. At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, they had Zongzi.
