In northern Scotland there is a deep lake called Loch Ness. It is more than 200 metres deep and it is the deepest lake in the United Kingdom. People say a huge monster (妖怪) lives in the dark, cold water. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten metres long. It has a dark gray colour. Some people say that it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people say that they saw it. No one knows whether (是否) these people really saw it or not.
The Loch Ness Monster is a famous story. People first told it over 500 years ago, but it became popular only in the twentieth century (世紀(jì)). In 1993, a couple reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. From then on, many people said that they saw a monster in Loch Ness. A few people took photos, but some of them weren’t real photos. During the 1960s, people set up an organization to find out the truth. They took many photos and made movies, but they weren’t able to find a monster.
There is no real evidence (證據(jù)) that there is a monster in Loch Ness, but there is also no evidence that there is not. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are lots of curious (好奇的) people going there every year.

Students Begin to Smoke at a Younger Age
SHANGHAI---- Almost one in four students aged between 12 and 14 have tried smoking, according to the results of a survey from the CATC(中國(guó)抗癌協(xié)會(huì)).
“ Quite a number of boy students in my class smoke outside the school yard during lunch break,” said Li Xiaolan, an English teacher from a high school in Shanghai.
The survey also found that 39 percent of students took their first cigarette from their classmates.
“ It was quite common to smoke with my classmates at school,”said Zhou Guangrong,a 22- year–old university student from Guiyang, Guizhou province,who started smoking at the age of 12.
Most of the student smokers buy cigarettes themselves.” My middle and high schools were surrounded by cigarette shops when I was a student,” said Liu Minghui who used to smoke two cigarettes per day in primary school and two packs per week in middle and high school.
“ We’re keen to show that more teenagers are starting smoking much younger than before,and that we need to minimize(降低) the number of young smokers,” said Duan Jiali, an officer in CATC. He added that teachers and parents should set a good example for teenagers by not smoking in front of them at school or at home, which is the best way of stopping teenagers from smoking.

You might have noticed that the cost of food has gone up.In fact the price of wheat and rice has nearly doubled in the past few years.It’s thought that right now，850 million people—that’s more than 10 times the population of the UK—are short of food because it’s too expensive or there’s not enough of it.
The price of basic food such as wheat and corn has stayed the same for quite a long time，about 30 years.But as the world’s population is getting bigger，there’s more pressure to feed more people，plus there’s less land and water to go round.
Another reason is climate（氣候）change.Droughts and floods make it hard to grow crops like rice and grain.The price of oil has gone up and that makes it more expensive for farmers to run their tractors and to transport the food they make.And lots of fields are being used to grow crops to make other things that can’t be eaten—which is bad news for hungry people.
The main losers are poor people who live in cities in poor countries，who are facing higher prices for food.Some people are doing well out of the food crisis（危機(jī)） though.Farmers in rich countries like the US，Canada and Australia are getting record prices for their harvests.
World leaders are meeting in the Italian capital Rome to talk about the problem of rising food prices.Some countries are helping out with the cost of foods and international aid agencies have called for more money for food production in poor countries.
小題1:The price of food goes up because all of the following EXCEPT _____.
A．there are more and more people in the world.
B．American farmers are getting richer and richer.
C．many farm lands are used to make other things rather than food.
D．climate change makes it harder to grow food.
小題2:Who lose the most because of the food crisis?
A．Farmers in rich countries.
B．Farmers in developed countries.

A．They can get a lot of money from the government.
B．They have to save a lot of money.
C．They can make more money from the high price.
D．They are losing a lot of money.
小題4:What is the best title for this passage?

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerro, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerro type.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerro’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).

Paris—French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he would clear over 300 Roma camps in France. He will send more than 700 Roma back to their native countries, including Romania (羅馬尼亞) and Bulgaria (保加利亞) in the next three months.
Many French people disagree with Sarkozy’s move. Some European countries don’t agree with the move, either. They say it goes against human rights. However, Sarkozy has made up his mind. Police have been clearing Roma camps.
Roma are also called gypsies (吉普賽人). They came from India. They left their homeland sometime during the 11th century and entered Europe in the 14th century. Today there are 2-5 million gypsies. Most of them live in Eastern Europe.
They traveled everywhere and made a living as actors, actresses, workers, and by selling goods from faraway lands. Most gypsies are very poor and their children don’t go to school. Some gypsies can’t find work so they make a living begging (乞討) or stealing. The French government thinks gypsies bring a lot of social problems. That’s why Sarkozy wants them out of France.
Sarkozy’s move, however, won’t solve the gypsy problems in France for the long term. According to EU (歐盟) laws, the gypsies of EU member countries are free to go to another EU member country, like France. They can stay there for up to three months. Many of the gypsies will probably come back to France in the future.
小題1:How many Roma will be sent from France to their native countries in the next three months?
A．Over 300B．Over 700 C．2 millionD．5 million
小題2:According to the news, most of the Roma live in _________.
A．FranceB．IndiaC．AmericaD．Eastern Europe
小題3:Why does Sarkozy want to send the Roma out of France?
A．They traveled everywhere around Europe and India.
B．The gypsies are free to go to another EU member country.
C．Most gypsies are very poor and their children don’t go to school.
D．The French government thinks gypsies bring a lot of social problems.
小題4:How long can the gypsies of EU member countries stay in another EU member country?
A．They can stay there all life long.
B．They can stay for up to three months.
C．They stayed from 11th century to 14th century.
D．They can travel to the country and stay for a few days.
小題5:Which is Not True according to the text?
A．Police have been clearing Roma camps.
B．All the French people agree with Sarkozy’s move.
C．Some European countries say the move goes against human rights.
D．Sarkozy’s move won’t solve the gypsy problems in France for the long term.
