Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana (加納) ，Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning,she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.

   Earth Day is on April 22. But on all other days?we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource (自然資源) on the earth.

   Water covers 70% of the earth's surface. But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface.

   You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn’t mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars,factories,farms and homes make our rivers,lakes,and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish,too. Now,34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.

   How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First,they pollute the air. Then,when it rains,the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain,called acid rain (酸雨) ，is also bad for plants,animals and buildings.

   Scientists say that in 30 years,more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water：

   . Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters (升) each month.

   . Leaky taps (漏水的龍頭) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

   . You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half— and you’ll be just as clean.

   . When you wash dishes,don't let the water run.

   . Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full,you’re wasting water!

閱讀提示:本文是記敘文。本文通過(guò)介紹Napoga家缺水的現(xiàn)狀，說(shuō)明水資源的匱乏，號(hào)召人們節(jié)約用水。

1. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段第五句“She has no time to go to school…” 可知，她根本沒(méi)有時(shí)間去上學(xué)。故選C.

2. B推理判斷題。短文第三段中介紹了全球70%被水覆蓋，但只 有1%是飲用淡水。而世界上的很多國(guó)家和地區(qū)都缺水。所以可 以推斷出我們的生活用水很少。

3. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段中的句子“Dirty rain,called acid rain,is also bad for plants,animals and buildings. ”可知，acid rain (酸 雨) 的危害很大。故答案選D.

4. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。

A選項(xiàng)與C選項(xiàng)相互矛盾，則必有一個(gè)為正確 選項(xiàng)。而從第3點(diǎn)建議(advice) 可知，你可以只沐浴五分鐘來(lái)節(jié)約 用水，若用10分鐘則是浪費(fèi)水。故選A.

5. C主旨大意題。通讀全文我們知道地球上的水資源有限，所以大 家都要節(jié)約用水。故選C.

                                I’ll Never Forget That Day 

  When I was 8 years old,my father took my brother and me on a picnic. On that day,I did something wrong,and I will never forget it.

  It was a sunny day;I was very happy and excited. When we arrived there,my father warned me that the river was very dangerous and made me promise not to walk up to it. I promised my father,but I did not keep my promise.

  I forget why I walked into the river. Maybe I was curious. I walked into the river,and I fell down because the river was very deep. I could not stand or touch the bottom. I cried out loudly,but nobody was there,except my younger brother.

  I remember that my younger brother was very scared and did not know what he could do because he was just one year younger than me. He jumped into the river,but that just made the situation worse because he was even shorter than me and he could not swim. Both of us cried out.

  Fortunately,there was a farmer who was working there. He found us and saved me first. At that time,I could no longer see my brother. I cried louder,and I shouted to the farmer ,“Please save my brother!” He was very shocked because it turned out he had only seen me. He asked me ,“Are you sure that your brother fell into the river?” “Of course,I am sure!” I answered. 

  Then,my father arrived and started looking for my brother in the river. Finally,they found him and took him to the hospital. Luckily my younger brother was alive,or else I could never forgive myself.

1. How many people were there on the picnic?

2. Why did the father warn the writer not to walk up to the river?

3. How old was the writer's brother when he wanted to save the writer?

4. Who saved the writer at last?

  As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also be small,such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

   Once you find a dream,what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

   Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

   In fact ，everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of many small dreams.

   You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

Americans have developed an olive oil habit. Out to dinner recently, I saw a man dipping his white bread in olive oil and then pouring it all over his salad, saying, "Wow, this is so good for me!"

But is olive oil the healthiest fat? No, it's not. You might ask, doesn't it lower cholesterol(膽固醇)? Well, only when you substitute olive oil in equivalent amounts for butter or oils that are higher in saturated（飽和的）fat. Olive oil doesn't lower cholesterol; it just doesn't raise it as much.

You may be better off with canola（菜籽油） oil. The 1999 Lyon Diet Heart Study found that a Mediterranean diet significantly reduced heart attacks and premature deaths. Many people attributed this to eating a lot of olive oil. But it was increased consumption of canola oil that accounted for these improvements.

Also, study participants ate more whole-grain bread, vegetables, fish and fruit, and less meat. Butter and cream were replaced with man-made butter made from canola oil, which has more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than olive oil does.

Another study found that olive oil reduced blood flow by 31%. Canola oil and fish oil don't. (You want to increase blood flow to all body parts.)

I like the taste of olive oil, and I use it sometimes. It's a healthier fat than many others, but it's not nearly as healthy as canola oil -- or fish oil and flaxseed oil, for that matter, which also have lots of omega-3s. And a tablespoon of any oil has 126 calories. Think about that before you pour it on.

1.It can be inferred that in America ________.

A. most people prefer canola oil than olive oil

B. most people think olive oil is healthier than others

C. people use olive oil to help them lose weight

D. most people choose olive oil for its better taste

2.The author may advise people _______.

A. to choose canola oil instead of olive oil

B. to think over before choosing new products

C. to keep on eating olive oil to keep healthy

D. to consult the researchers before accepting a trend

3.According to the author, olive oil ________.

A. isn’t as health as most people think

B. can be used as a substitute for meat

C. can help increase the blood flow

D. contain less calories than other oils

4.A Mediterranean diet reduced heart attacks and premature deaths thanks to .

A. olive oil B. butter C. canola oil D. Bread
