Some cars do not run the way they should. Bad smoke from a car's engine (發(fā)動機(jī)) can get into the air. This bad smoke is called pollution. Pollution can turn the air gray and is very dirty.

   In order to keep pollution down,California has passed a new law which means all cars have to take a test every two years. This test checks to make sure that the cars do not pollute the air. If a car does not pass the test,the owner can't register it. Some car owners drive their cars,even though they don^ pass the test. This is against the law.

   The state wants to find a way to get these cars off the road. A program was started that seemed to work. This program buys cars that can't pass the test or will help pay for repairs,but the cars must be drivable and the owner can't make over a certain amount of money. This program has been helping a lot of people by giving them money to help buy better cars or by allowing them to fix their old ones. It has also been helping to keep pollution down.

  汽車尾氣對空氣污染嚴(yán)重，為了減少污染，加州通過一項(xiàng)法律，規(guī)定每輛車子必須兩年進(jìn)行一次尾氣測試，不合格 的車子不得注冊。

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后兩句可知，駕駛沒有通過污染測試的汽車會違反法律。

2. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段第三句可知，車子還可以駕駛，但是沒有通過污染測試的車主可以得到這個項(xiàng)目的 幫助。

3. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段最后一句可知，設(shè)置這個項(xiàng)目是為了減少污染。

   Jenny Gonzalez is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles,the US,is taking care of three green abalones (鮑魚) at school.

   The students of Violeta Llamas’ science class,including Jenny,have cared for the sea animals since January. The class formed eight teams. Each team takes turns to care for the abalones. Team five— Jenny,Alexis Diaz,Jennifer Gonzalez and Ricardo Beltran一have now got their turn.

   The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day Alexis,12, checks if the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of abalones. Jenny makes fresh saltwater. Then the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and feed the abalones. “Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them,” Jennifer said.

   Nancy Caruso,a scientist,leads the project. She said the number of green abalones along the state's coast is going down because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea is now up to the next generation—young students.

   The students love taking care of the abalones,said Llamas. u This could open the door for them to want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector ,” she said.

   How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English,or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.

   People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States,people begin counting with their first finger,which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China,people count by using different finger positions. In this way,a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.

   Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的) people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.

   In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”，“ more trees”，or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count ,“ but here is a group that does not count. They could learn,but it's not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up. ”

   Although all humans are able to understand quantities (數(shù)量) ，not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.

1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to.

   A. make a survey

   B. interest readers

   C. tell a story

   D. solve math problems

2. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the US and China?

   A. People from China count much faster than people from the US.

   B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.

   C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.

   D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.

3. Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?

   A. They have only a few words for numbers.

   B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.

   C. They can only count to five on their fingers.

   D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.

4. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that.

   A. people all over the world know how to count

   B. people of the tribe have words for numbers

   C. some groups of people are not smart enough to count

   D. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

   A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.

   B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.

   C. In some aboriginal cultures,people don't even know how to count.

   D. Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers.

   I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight,in the dark,I would finally take it away. If everything went OK,it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one,not even my wife,saw me.

   It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

   First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 pm was not early. As usual,I read them a bed time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

   Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end,I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.

   It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (鋸子) and a hammer.

   After much effort,my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep.
