Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)
I’ve always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I’ve discovered a way to experience the thrill(興奮，緊張) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don’t climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,
schools and camps have one.
You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I’m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心劇烈跳動), I reach the top and look down. I can’t stop grinning. I did it! Indoor climbing is a great workout(鍛煉). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.
Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(繩索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.

小題1:Is indoor climbing cheaper and safer than real rock climbing?
小題2:On what do indoor climbers climb?
小題3:What are the reasons that make the indoor climbing so popular?
小題4:Who should always be with you when you climb?
小題5:What does your partner do as you climb?
小題6:Which do you think sounds more fun, rock climbing or indoor climbing? Why?

小題1:Yes, it is.
小題2:They climb on a plastic wall.
小題3:One is the convenience of indoor climbing, the other is the rush they get from the climbing.
小題4:A partner.
小題5:He/She pulls your climbing rope through something called a belay device.
小題6:I like rock climbing. Although it’s a dangerous sport that requires experience, skill and a cool head, I can experience the pleasure of success.

小題1:從第一段中“Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer!”可得出答案。
小題2:從第一段中“Indoor climbers don’t climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. ”可得出答案。
小題3:從第二段中“The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. ”這兩句話中可得出答案。
小題4:從最后一段中“Always climb with a partner.”可得出答案。

Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.  However what most parents fail to realize is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Cooking demands (要求)patience and time.  A good cook always tries to improve his cooking. so he will learn to work hard and gradually(逐漸), finish his job successfully.  His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.  These activities are not merely   teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.

Everyone tries to get to school on time. But when bad weather gives you trouble, can you still make it before the bell rings?
In northern China during spring, big sandstorms often make trouble for students and everyone else. When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly. Sometimes, people can’t even see for 20 metres.
Sandstorms usually happen in spring. This year, sandstorms started in late March. They have happened in more than 10 provinces (省)  in northern China this year. More than 70 million people have had problems in those places because of the sandstorms.
People in southern China don’t have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from Gansu and Inner Mongolia（內(nèi)蒙古）. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don’t get much rain. People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there aren’t many trees, the ground can’t keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts（融化）, the ground becomes looser（更松散的）. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky.
Sandstorms are bad for people’s health. If people breathe（呼吸） too much sand, they could cough or have asthma（哮喘）.
Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never get back home. The winds also tear down farmers’ houses.
What can you do to stop sandstorms? Here’s an idea: Ask you parents to help you plant some trees this spring.
If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them from cutting.
小題1:In which season do sandstorms usually happen?
A．In spring.B．In summer.C．In autumn.D．In winter.
小題2:Which of the following provinces in China is often hit by sandstorms?
A．Fujian Province.B．Yunnan Province.C．Jiangsu Province.D．Gansu Province.
小題3:The underlined phrase “tear down” in the sentence means “_________”.
A．使……哭泣B．弄倒C．摧殘D．加固
小題4: According to the passage, what cannot be caused by sandstorms?
A．Health problems.B．Traffic problems.
C．The loss of farm animals.D．Noise pollution.
小題5:Which is not stated in the passage？_______________ .
A．Trees can help keep enough rain water

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising there are many expressions about cats. Do you know any of them? Now let me introduce some to you.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that ate the canary.
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother, and then take it away when reaches for it.
A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying that looks like something the cat dragged in describes something in bad condition.
A fat cat is a person with a lot of money.
