Like schools in China, American schools begin in September after a long summer vacation. The first term is from September to January and the second is from February to June. Usually American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
But unlike middle school students in China, high school students in America take only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to the same classes every day and have homework for every class. After class they do all kinds of interesting things.
After high school, many students go to college. They may go to a small or a large one. They usually have to pay a lot for their higher education. So lots of students work after school to make money for their studies.

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake places of the world – Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey – rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(救援) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “ ‘Robot’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity.
The “ rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “ It would be fantastic. A rat would get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building ( but only after an earthquake, of course.)
小題1:In the earthquake places, rats will become man’s best friends because they can __________.
A．take the place of man in rescue jobs
B．find the positions of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D．send signals for the coming earthquake
小題2:The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refers to(所指)  _________  
A．treating wounded people.
B．helping rescuers.
C．smelling people among different smells.
D．carry the wounded people to safety.
小題3:From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by ___________.
A．the nose made by the rat
B．the rat’s unusual behavior
C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back
D．the smell given off by the person
小題4:In doing rescue jobs, __________________________.
A．rats have better sense of smell than dogs.
B．dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people.
C．robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around.
D．rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots.
小題5:After reading the passage we can know ______________________________.
A．rats have taken the place of dogs in search for people.
B．the “ rat project” has been completed
C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescue

Carbon monoxide poisoning (一氧化碳中毒) causes death and injuries around the world. This gas is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather. A few years ago, America’s Centers for Disease Control (C. D. C.) studied deaths linked (聯(lián)系) with carbon monoxide poisoning. It found that the number of carbon monoxide deaths in the United States was greatest in January. The C.D.C. also found that carbon monoxide kills more than four hundred Americans each year. And, it said more than twenty thousand people are taken to hospital for treatment of health problems linked with the gas.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas has no color, no taste and no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause people to cough. Yet, carbon monoxide gas is very deadly (致命的). It steals the body’s ability to use oxygen.
Carbon monoxide makes it difficult for the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues (血管). It does this by linking with the blood. When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the tissues that need it. Damage (損害) to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts (數(shù)量) of carbon monoxide.
How quickly this can happen depend on how long a person is breathing the gas and how much gas he or she breathes in.
Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs(標志). But people have to be awake to realize them. Small amounts of the gas will cause a person’s head to hurt. He or she may begin to feel tired. Their stomachs may feel sick. The room may appear to be turning around. The person may have trouble thinking clearly.
People develop serious headache as the amount of the gas continues to enter their blood. They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy. They may have terrible stomachache.
Doctors say carbon monoxide influences people differently. For example a small child will experience health problems or die much sooner than an adult. The general health of the person or his or her age can also be important.
小題1:The damage of carbon monoxide to the body has something to do with _____.
A．the amount a person breathes in
B．whether a person is healthy
C．how many signs a person finds
D．ages of people
小題2:One of the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning is _____.
A．burning eyesB．bad cough
C．serious headacheD．high fever
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Carbon monoxide poisoning seldom happens in cold areas.
B．Twenty thousand Americans are killed by carbon monoxide each year.
C．Most people know whether there is carbon monoxide in the air.
D．Carbon monoxide stops the blood from carrying oxygen to body tissues.
小題4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Warning signs that carbon monoxide poisoning has.
B．Reasons why carbon monoxide can cause person’s death.
C．The damage of carbon monoxide and how it works.
D．Influences of carbon monoxide on children and adults.

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution.
To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even eat it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威脅) our health, our happiness and our life.
Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water. There weren’t so many people then and their wants fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of pollution and the development of industry(工業(yè)) have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning(毒害)not only his environment but also himself.
Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.
Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump(堆存處)，or is there any hope that we can get rid of (擺脫，除去) the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．We live on the earth, so we should look after it.
B．Man is fighting against different kinds of pollution.
C．To pollute means to make air, water and land unfit for use.
D．All the waste produced by modern industry can be absorbed.
小題2:In Paragraph4, the underlined word “chemicals” mean ____________.
A．化學物質B．醫(yī)療器械C．污染源D．塑料制品
小題3:Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has___________.
A．made the drinking water dirtyB．polluted the land
C．killed the animals D．all of the above
小題4:From the sentences “More people, more waste.” We know that ___________
A．we need more people, not more waste
B．the increase of population caused more waste.
C．there isn’t any hope that we can get rid of the pollution
D．More people have been warned of the danger of more waste.
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Man begins to understand the pollution.
B．Man doesn’t know how to control pollution.
C．Man is doing something to control pollution.
D．Man still doesn’t realize how serious pollution is.
