The day for the great balloon competition finally arrived. Every insect in the garden had been hard, and now they were preparing to begin their routines. The balloon competitions were always something really special.

Each time, the flying insects were favourite to win, because they could seize the balloon strings and fly off in all directions, creating all sorts of in the air. , on this occasion there were some rather unusual insects taking part: a group of ants. Of course, expected that they could do anything special. They were so light that no ant had ever to take part, but it was quite impressive to see all the ants all organized and prepared.

So the competition began, and the insects took their turns, performing beautiful movements with the balloons. As always the butterflies left everyone with their twist and turns, and their wonderful colours. When it was time for the ants to perform, it seemed like the competition had already been decided.

For the time in living memory, the ants shared just one balloon between them, and one by one they climbed up the balloon string, a thin black thread of ants. When all the string was covered, the last ant climbed his teammates to reach the balloon. he got there, he climbed onto the top of the balloon.

This strange attracted everyone's curiosity, and they were just about to witness the most important : the ant opened his jaws as wide as he could. . . and then he made a violent movement at the balloon with all his strength!

The result was powerful! The balloon began blowing out its air, flying about, here and there, doing a thousand turns and spins, while the ants made all kinds of beautiful shapes out of the string.

Of course, that acrobatic(雜技般的) flight with quite a hard landing, but it didn't . The creativity and teamwork of the ant performance was so that the crowd didn't even have to vote for there to be a winner.

From then on, in that garden, everyone understood how much could be achieved by working . In the years to come, the balloon competitions were full of displays carried out by teams, and they put on some wonderful routines; something those individual insects could never have achieved on their own.

I was appreciating my family photos on my computer, admiring my two beautiful babies when I found a disturbing scene: my laptop was in almost all the pictures．There was my daughter, 8 months old, playing at my feet while I was typing on the couch．There was my son, with a big transformer, on my left arms．

I’d heard about the Internet addiction before, but I always thought it was something only limited to playing too much World of Warcraft (a computer game) day and night．Now, it seemed my Internet-habit is slowly but surely crossing the line．Sometimes I find myself up at midnight, surfing the Web while my family are sleeping．I read news, keep up with friends and write my blog … just for something to do．

It turns out that I’m not the only mama who is addicted to the computer．These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction．There’s a movement among psychiatrists (doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder．And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9 percent try to hide their —unnecessary Internet use from their loved ones; 8 percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems．

You’re likely not the kind of addict who doesn’t bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay up for more online time．You may have noticed, though, that going online has become a necessary part of your life, which, at least, means a box of clothes go unwashed．It may also mean you’re missing much time with you baby – something you probably do care about．

What Exactly Is Cheating?

1.For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport．If a baseball team is for kids who are 8 or younger, it’s cheating for 9-year-old to play on the team and hit home run after home run．

2.Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways．Jeff is doing it by sneaking answers to a test, but it’s also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn’t．When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game or a contest．

Why Kids Cheat

Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．3.Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea．

Truth and Consequences

Many kids feel tempted to cheat once in a while．Most resist and do the work instead．Some kids cheat once and feel so bad that they never do it again．4.Unfortunately, some kids start cheating and feel like they can’t stop．

Making a Comeback

A．How Do People Cheat?

B．How to deal with cheat?

C．Others get caught and decide it isn’t worth it．

Last night’s meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers．According to Gabe Rothschild，Emerald Valley’s mayor，people gathered in the suburbs of the city，carrying heavy telescopes，expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky．What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead．

“My family was so frustrated，”admitted town resident Duane Cosby．“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing，but it turned out to be a huge disappointment．”

Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades．They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past．They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it．

There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution．This population consists of birds，bats，frogs，snakes，etc．For example，outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds．According to the International Dark-Sky Association．“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers．”

Countless more animal casualties(傷亡)result from the use of artificial lighting．Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings，but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，too．They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer．

Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution．For years，F(xiàn)lagstaff，Arizona，has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory．Similar efforts have been made worldwide，and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them，so that other creatures can share the night．

1.It happened last night that ．

A．the city’s lights affected the meteor watching

B．the meteors flew past before being noticed

C．the city light show attracted many people

D．the meteor watching ended up a social outing

2.What do the astronomers complain about?

A．Meteor showers occur less often than before．

B．Their observation equipment is in poor repair．

C．Light pollution has remained unsolved for years．

D．Their eyesight is falling due to artificial lighting．

3.What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?

A．Birds may take other migration paths．

B．Animals’ living habits may change suddenly．

C．Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced．

D．Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting．

4.What message does the author most want to give us?

A．Saving wildlife is saving ourselves．

B．Great efforts should be made to save energy．

C．Human activities should be environmentally friendly．

D．New equipment should be introduced for space study．

Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.

Scientists know that Earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust （地殼), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.

Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is l. 3 billion years earlier than previous ones.

Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago, lots of small planets were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.

In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal (上地殼) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.

The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks（裂縫）in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.

To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the whole area cooled, forming what we see today.

That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.

“It's a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle（拼圖）,”says one of the researchers. He notes that the puzzle was “a very difficult one because these rocks are all very old and have been badly ruined".

1.The underlined phrase “oozed from" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to________.

A. filled up gradually

B. washed away quickly

C. flew out of slowly

D. broke through suddenly

2.What can we infer from the text?

A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.

B. The Earth's crust started shifting l.3 billion years ago.

C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.

D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.

3.What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt?

A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.

B. It remained under the deep sea.

C. It stayed hot and sinking.

D. It kept moving slowly.

4.The text is mainly about________.

A. why the Earth cooled

B. how the Isua supracrustal belt formed

C. whether the ground beneath our feet is still

D. when Earth's crust began shifting
