Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth!
The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.
Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, the mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(濕氣) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).
Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!

People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect” human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on.
Some people carry on active social lives with computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms,  computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places.
With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a way of sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users, the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes them want to write better.
Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to starting the coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct” a microwave oven how to cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off.
Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media ( i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer) going to control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the genentic engineering of food have on people’s health? High-tech medical treatments can make a person live a much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings? Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technology will continue to move forward. 
【小題1】What does the underlined word “ chips” mean?

A．thin pieces of potatoesB．small holesC．small pieces of woodD．central parts
【小題2】 We can know from the passage that _________.
A．technology never stops changing our everyday lives
B．with computers each of us can live a comfortable life
C．people can do more activities with computers
D．the more you use computers, the better you might write
【小題3】 What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．The longer you live, the happier you are.
B．High-tech medical treatments can’t improve our health and happiness.
C．High-tech medical treatments can’t help us with everything.
D．The writer questioned high-tech medical treatments somehow.
【小題4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Science and New TechnologyB．Computers Change Our Lives
C．Everyday Uses of TechnologyD．Only Time Will Tell

You can’t see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes．Some of the things you see give off light of their own。The sun，the stars，a lighted lamp are the examples that can be seen by their own light．But most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own．They are just reflecting(反射)light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies．The moon，for example，doesn’t give off any light of its own．It is not 1uminous．You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of the sunlight reflects on the earth．So moonlight is only second—hand sunlight．
When you look at a book，it sends some of the light which fails on it to your eyes，and you see the book．If light could be kept out from where you’re so that there would be no light from the book to reflect．Then you couldn’t see the book even with your eyes wide open．Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you’re reading to your eyes is as short as if there were no time at time．Light reaches us from the moon，which is about 380，000 kilometres away，in only a little more than a second．
【小題1】You can see the book because________．

A．your eyes are close to itB．it reflects some of the light
C．it has light of its ownD．it is big enough to be seen
【小題2】The Chinese meaning of the world“l(fā)uminous”is close to_______．
A．閃光的B．看不見的C．發(fā)光的D．明亮的
【小題3】________has light of its own．
A．The moonB．The earthC．The sunD．The satellite of Dong Fong Hong
【小題4】Light travels about_________kilometers per second．
A．300，000B．100，000C．400，000D．190，000
【小題5】Which of the following is TRUE?
A．All the things you can see give off light．
B．Light from the book is much faster than that from the moon．
C．The moment you open your eyes，the light from the book travels to your eyes．
D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read．

　　Expert(專家)say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger(手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(請求)for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
　　 A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker(虛弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep(睡覺) during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

During the day, you spend a lot of time running, jumping, laughing, eating, and talking. You use up a lot of energy(能量) , and by the end of the day you’re tired. Sleep gives your body a chance to rest.
But your brain (大腦)and body are not completely at rest during sleep. While you sleep, your mind may think of the things that happened during the day. It keeps the important things in mind as memories(記憶). It also thinks about things you were worrying about, and you may wake up with answers to some of your problems.
You also grow while you sleep. The thing called "human growth hormone (荷爾蒙)" in the body helps you grow during sleep. This growth hormone also helps the body to repair itself.
Sleep helps your body to conserve energy too. You use up a lot of energy during your daily activities. But when you sleep, your body temperature falls, and your "metabolism" (新陳代謝) slows down. You are still using some energy, but much less than when you are awake and active.
Have you ever stayed up past your bedtime? Did you have difficulty getting up the next morning? Maybe you had problems seeing clearly or you cannot think clearly. That was your body’s way of saying, "I need sleep！" A lack ( 缺乏) of sleep can stop your body and mind from working correctly.
