While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who, and different relationships between their classmates, I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports.
When I was young, my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It’ s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationship might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.
Firstly you have to think about such a question— whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this, there really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives.
The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.
小題1:The author writes this passage probably for        to read.
A.high school studentsB.school teachers
C.parents and teachersD.married couples
小題2: Between sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be        than that of being boy/girl-friends.
A.weakerB.saferC.slimmerD.stronger
小題3:How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?
A.Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.
B.Studying is far more important than dating in school.
C.In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.
D.Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.
小題4:The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to       .
A.the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school
B.advice given by both teachers and parents
C.the pressure from school lessons and sports
D.the relationship between students of opposite sexes

Listening to a radio broadcast in a foreign language is difficult for many of us. We may have studied the language for several years, and are able to read it, perhaps even write in it. But listening and understanding the spoken language require special skills. Some people have a natural ability that helps them to learn a language quickly, while others must study for a long time. Everyone, however, can improve his or her listening skills with practice.
We are good listeners in our own language because we have had years of practice. We understand the grammar and the language. We know what to expect a person to say to us in almost any situation. We have been in similar situations many times, and we have heard it all before. We can understand it, even if we do not listen carefully.
But this is not true with a foreign language. We must listen with our full attention. And we must try not to let the cultural style of our language affect our understanding of the foreign language. Listening to a foreign language broadcast is easier if we know something about it. There are clues that can help us. One clue is the time of a day. Morning programs usually contain many short items of news, information or entertainment. The items are short because most of us are getting ready to go to work in the morning. Often we do not have time to listen to long programs. Evening programs are different. There is time for more details about the subjects discussed.
We can get a clue about the program from the music at the beginning, but we must be familiar with the music of the foreign culture. The kind of music—serious and slow, or fast and light—can tell us what kind of program to expect. The name of the program can give us good information about what it will contain.
Another good clue is the broadcaster. The more we listen to the same person, the easier it will be to understand him. His speaking style will become familiar to us. Further, the broadcaster provides clues to the organization of the broadcast at the beginning of the program. The broadcaster usually gives us the highlights of the program to prepare us for the details that will follow.
小題1:We are good listeners in our own language because ________.
A.we have a natural ability of learning languageB.our own language is much easier
C.we listen to our own language more carefullyD.we have practiced it for years
小題2: If you don’t have enough time, you can listen to ________.
A.evening programs B.programs with soft music
C.morning programs D.familiar programs
小題3:You can know the information of the program according to ________.
A.its music B.the broadcaster
C.its name D.the time of the program

Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the effects of climate change?
A British-made computer game on trial release on Monday creates different ways of doing just that.
“Fate of the World”puts the Earth’s future in players’ hands, placing them in charge of an international environmental body which could save the world from the effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions(排放)or let it destroyed by more emissions.
Through different scenes, players can explore options such as geoengineering(地球工程) and alternative energy sources to save the planet from rising temperatures, decreasing natural resources and a growing population over the next 200 years.
An improved version of the game will be followed by a three-month feedback period from players, with final release due in February next year.
Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption, the game is different from other mainstream action games mainly by using data from real climate models and advice from scientists and economists.
“Science data is often inaccessible and we are trying to put players in a position of power and connected with the issues,” Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption’s founder and chairman said.
This year, a series of apparent errors in climate science and the failure of UN talks to reach an international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions appeared to weaken the public’s interest in climate change.
However, games centered on sustainability(持續(xù)性)and human rights have been growing in popularity and are welcomed by green groups as a way of raising awareness.
Using climate change as inspiration for entertainment shows the issue has affected global culture, which can only be a good thing.Friends of the Earth’s head of climate Mike Childs said.“We need creative industries to work with these big issues as the results can be extremely powerful and can help us to understand what a sustainable future looks and feels like,”he added.
小題1:“Fate of the World” in the passage refers to                      .
A.a book on computer gamesB.a company developing computer games
C.a computer game on climate changeD.a player in charge of computer games
小題2:What makes the climate computer game different from the other games?
A.It uses data from real climate models and advice from experts.
B.It is the only computer game about climate.
C.It can save the planet from the effect of climate change.
D.It aims to affect the global culture.
小題3:It can be concluded from the passage that                        .
A.games on sustainability and human rights are very popular among young players
B.the game increases players’ awareness of environmental protection
C.only computer experts can play the new climate computer game
D.after a three-month feedback period from players, the new game is on sale now
小題4:Which of the following can NOT the players experience while playing the new game?
A.Challenging the climate change in an unreal world
B.Understanding what a sustainable future looks and feels like
C.Enjoying the power to decide the earth’s fate
D.Predicting what will happen in 200 years
小題5:In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this article?

When Xia Min started drinking alcohol with her classmates at a friend’s birthday, she didn’t realize what would happen to her. She drank a lot and fell into a coma (昏迷). The 15year-old girl from Chongqing never recovered.
Xia’s death is warning to other students. A new rule went into effect on January 1, 2006. Teens are not allowed to buy or drink alcohol. Shops are not allowed to sell it to them.
A 1999 Chinese law forbade (禁止) shops to sell alcohol to youths under 18. But it is not taken seriously by shopkeepers because it doesn’t have specific rules. People hope the new rule will work.
“I tasted alcohol when having the dinner of the last New Year’s Eve,” said Lian Yuqi, a 16-year-old girl in Xiamen. She believes that the new rule will stop teens from drinking and help them grow in a healthy way.
“Although it may be a little disappointing not to have beer at parties, I think we can have soft drinks instead,” she said.

US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.
The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.
“This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars,”said Boulder’ s research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.
“The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”
Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤積) sediment (沉積) which formed a delta (三角洲).
“Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us,” said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.
Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.
The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.
Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.
小題1:The size of the lake found on Mars is ______.
A.80 square miles B.1,500 square miles
C.3.4 billion square milesD.300 million square miles
小題2:When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ____.
A.hot and wet B.wet and warm C.cold and dryD.cold and wet
小題3:Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?
A.Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.
B.Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.
C.Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.
D.Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.
B.The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.
C.The discovery can’ t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.
D.The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.

Disposing of the garbage we produce every day is a major problem in cities around the world. In the United States, over 160 million tons of garbage is produced every year. Ten percent is recycled, ten percent is burned, and the rest is put in landfills. But finding land for new landfills is becoming more difficult.
A city that has solved this problem in an unusual way is Machida in Tokyo. They have developed a totally new way of dealing with garbage. The key to the operation is that people should work together. Families must divide their garbage into six groups:
1. garbage that can be easily burned, such as kitchen and garden trash
2. garbage that doesn’t burn easily, such as plastic tools and plastic toys
3. products that are poisonous or that cause pollution, such as batteries
4. bottles and glass containers that can be recycled
5. metal containers that can be recycled
6. large items, such as furniture and bicycles
    The items in Groups 1 to 5 are collected on different days. Large items are only collected upon request. Then the garbage is taken to a centre that looks like a clean new office building or hospital. Inside the centre, special equipment is used to sort and deal with garbage. Almost everything can be reused: garden or kitchen trash becomes fertilizer; garbage that can burn is burned to produce electricity; metal containers and bottles are recycled; and old furniture, clothing, and other useful items are cleaned, repaired, and resold cheaply or given away. The work provides employment for the disabled and gives them a chance to learn new skills.
Nowadays, officials from cities around the world visit Machida to see whether they can use some of these ideas and techniques to solve their own garbage problems.
小題1: Each year people in the U.S.A. have to find places to put in _______ million tons of garbage.
A.160           B.128               C.16                    D.32
小題2:George’s family has the following garbage: wooden chairs, empty tins and branches. Into which group should he put the garbage?
A.Group 6, Group 5, Group 1.B.Group 1, Group 3, Group 2.
C.Group 6, Group 5, Group 2. D.Group 6, Group 4, Group 1.
小題3: From the text we know that ________ .
A.those who are working at the garbage disposal centre are disabled persons.
B.without people’s cooperation, the garbage disposal project would be a failure.
C.the items in Group1 and Group6 are not collected on the same day.
D.the garage is taken to a clean new office building for disposal.

Children, especially boys, tend to idealize their fathers when they are young.Every little boy wants to grow up to be just like his father, and every little girl thinks her father is the smartest man on the earth.It’s not very easy to be a good father, but it’s not that difficult either.Children will truly enjoy spending time with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they are adults.
Not all children communicate well with their fathers.Communication is often left to mothers, while fathers dispense advice as and when necessary.Don’t expect all conversations to centre around the dinner table.Go to your children’s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their friends.Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided.When your children open up to you, you also need to open up to them.
If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the matter.And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don’t voice your opinion.It may be silly to you, but to your children it is important enough.So don’t wave the topic away by telling them not to bother about such stupid things.Simply discussing their problems with them will help them feel better.
Don’t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children’s love lives.Generally speaking, your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you.Try to let them know that you are relaxed about topics on love.Tell your children how you met your wife.It is perfectly normal for children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic closed for discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you.All they will do is turn to their friends.

LONDON----Here’s a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
  In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin EkblomBak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
  While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
  "After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating(調節(jié)) the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
  Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — but still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single bout.(一回)
  Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
  "We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad," said Peter Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, who led the Canadian study. "But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary behavior, the better."
  Figures from a U.S. survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
  Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible tooffset those effects.
  "People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits," Ekblom-Bak said. "But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible," she said.
小題1:What is the best title for the text?
A.Not Sitting Too Much While WorkingB.How To Avoid Sitting Too Much
C.Sitting Too Much Could Be DeadlyD.More And More People Sit Too Much
小題2:According to the research,______________.
A.the more time you spend in exercising in a single bout, the healthier you will be.
B.those who often sit too much are sure to grow fat or suffer from a heart attack.
C.regular exercise is effective to get rid of the side effect of sitting too much.
D.you had better not sit for more than four hours in a single bout.
小題3:How does the danger of sitting too much affect the human body?
A.It results in a higher death risk.
B.It increases glucose and fat in the body.
C.It makes a person unable to exercise long enough in a day.
D.It causes the gene to fail to balance the glucose and fat in the body.
小題4:In the opinion of Ekblom-Bak, you’d better have a rest in the office by________.
A.sending your friends e-mails
B.having a walk around your office
C.chatting online or playing computer games
D.listening to music with your head on the desk.
