Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather．But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning．Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:

At the Lake or Pond

●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore．

●Ponds and lakes may hide sharp rocks, broken glass, or rubbish．

●Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes．

●Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm．

●Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol．Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water．

At the Beach

●Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty．Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides．Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions．

●Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over．

●Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help．

Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning．

1.Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach? ________

A. Go off the water without a lifeguard on duty.

B. Go on swimming in a heavy rain.

C. Call for help if caught in a dangerous wave.

D. Go off the water before checking the water conditions.

2.Swimming at a beach is more dangerous than in a pool because ________.

A. there are currents and tides at a beach

B. there are no lifeguards at a beach

C. the waters of a beach are more calm

D. the waters of a pool are warmer

3.The passage is probably written for ________.

A. students at school

B. parents with little children

C. kids who want to learn swimming

D. coaches who teach kids to swim

4.In which column of a magazine can you find this passage? ________

A. Sports B. Science

C. Entertainment D. Education

Learning English well is a great challenge, but with the help from technology（技術(shù)） it can be as easy as a piece of cake.

As well as the classroom, teachers and textbooks, the Internet, TV and radio programs can play an active role in helping learn English. The Internet is full of rich and up-to-date information. English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn. It provides cultural information about Britain.

Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is: Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online, students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.

One popular English-learning program is called "Modern English". This focuses on spoken English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.

If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a program titled "Study Abroad". Cartoons are used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.

China Radio International airs a program called "Studio Classroom" at 6:30 a.m. every day. This 25-minute program is aimed at middle school students and covers subjects from current news to travel and history, all in simple language.

A

My father wasn't a king， he was a taxi driver， but I am a prince-Prince Renato II， of the country Pontinha， an island fort on Funchal harbour． It's in Madeira，Portugal， where I grew up． It was discovered in 1419．

In 1903， the king of Portugal sold the land to a wealthy British family， the Blandys， who make Madeira wine． Fourteen years ago the family decided to sell it forjust ?25，000， but nobody wanted to buy it either． I met Blandy at a party． and he asked if I'd like to buy the island． Of course I said yes，but I had no money-I was just an art teacher．I tried to find some business partners， who all thought I was crazy．So I sold some of my possessions，put my savings together and bought it．Of course， my family． my friends-all thought I was mad．

When the King originally sold the island，he signed a document， selling all the “possessions and the dominions”of the island．It means I can do what I want with it-I could start a restaurant， or a cinema but nobody thought someone would start a country．So that's what I did：I decided it would be my island， about the size of a one-bedroom house．

I have both a Portuguese passport and one for Pontinha （where my passport number is 0001）．There are four citizens： me， my wife， my son and my daughter．I am the police， the gardener，everything．I am whatever I want to be-that's the dream，isn't it？If l want to have a national flag，it could be blue today，red tomorrow．I can change it any time．Of course，my power is only absolute here， where I am the true sovereign．

I don't live in my country full time， but I am often there．My family sometimes drops by， and other people come every day because the country is free for tourists to visit； I never close for bad weather．Sometimes I come here when I'm feeling lively，after a few drinks．

Madeira is surrounded by water，but for some reason we all have to pay to swim in the ocean now，at the swimming spots．However．I have my island，which means I can come swimming whenever I want-it's as if someone has given me the key to the waters．

Our lives are gone in a flash．All change in the world begins with something very small， and this is my country-just a small island．

1.How did the author get the island？

A．It was a present from Blandy．

B．The king sold it to him．

C．He inherited from his father．

D．He bought it from Blandy．

2.It can be learned from the passage that____．

A．the author made his living by driving

B．the author's wife supported to buy the island

C．blue and red are the main colors of his national flag

D．people can travel around the island free of charge

3.What did the author do with his island？

A．He set up a restaurant．

B．He started a cinema．

C．He founded his own country．

D．He opened a swimming pool．

4.From his own experience， the author wanted to tell the readers that____．

A．you can change your life through small things

B．you should buy your own country and become a king

C．becoming a real ruler is of much fun

D．life is too short， so enjoy it to the fullest

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity (密切關(guān)系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

A good book is often the best urn(甕) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions andcomforters.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.

Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

1.A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.

A. it changes over the past of time

B. it contains all kinds of knowledge

C. it doesn’t betray us when we are in trouble

D. it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age

2.“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?

A. If you love me, you must reading books.

B. The book can be a bond between friends.

C. I love books as much I love friends.

D. If you love the author, you will love his books.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.

B. All books are our constant companions and comforters.

C. Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.

D. The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.

4.The best title for this passage can be.

A. Reading Books

B. A Good Book

C. Our Best Friend

D. Companionship of Books
