If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, move his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (the two holes at the end of your nose, through which you breathe and smell things) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional help arrives.
To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey colour, and you can feel no pulse(脈搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.
With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness．And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely．Both feel trapped．
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second, blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third, needing to be right．It doesn’t matter what the topic is．The laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg —the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．
小題1:Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A．Both can continue for generations．
B．Neither can be put to an end．
C．Neither has any clear winner．
D．Both are about where to draw the line．
小題2:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The teens cause their parents to mislead them．
B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict
C．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict．
D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents
小題3:Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________．
A．give orders to the otherB．gain respect from the other
C．know more than the otherD．get the other to behave properly
小題4:What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．Solutions for the parent –teen problems．
B．Examples of the parent –teen war．
C．Causes for the parent –teen conflicts．
D．Future of the parent-teen relationship．

My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork．
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president．”I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．
Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard．His answer to me was． “That’s irrelevant（無關的）．What’s important is the quality of your work． ” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge（訣竅），and I have come to some conclusions—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the prob1em：There is, of course，the matter of “time”, which we call think of as fixed． Then there is the problem of “work” during that time． But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important．
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone s office: “Don't work harder． Work smarter．” There is a lot of sense in that idea．
If you can’t get more time，and few of US can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get．That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits．Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits’ should be read as “study habits”．
Then, as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing． If you learn to read better and write better，there are big advantages that pay off in all your studies．
小題1:From the passage，we know that the author is probably      ．
A．a(chǎn) poetB．a(chǎn)n educatorC．a(chǎn) novelistD．a(chǎn)n engineer
小題2:We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still      ．
A．have enough timeB．can meet the president
C．get everything done wellD．should accept the explanation
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework．
B．The author tried to tell the professor that he／she（the author） had done a good job．
C．You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time．
D．You’11 try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student．
小題4:What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Students don’t have enough time．B．Don’t work harder; work smarter．
C．No one can get more time．D．Read better and write better．

“China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in 2010 and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,” Ouyang Ziyuan, head of China's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.
After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.
The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.
But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.
Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (賭注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.
Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.
Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（發(fā)起）a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.
小題1:According to Ouyang Ziyuan ________.
A．China has founded a base on the moon
B．China has founded one base on the North and South Poles
C．China will set up a base on the moon in 2010
D．China has already finished founding a moon base
小題2:The underlined word “touchdown” in the second paragraph means “________”.
A．landingB．relation C．connectionD．behaviour
小題3:Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?
A．A second home is going to be built on the moon in 2010.
B．China's first man has landed the moon in space.
C．People from only two countries have been to the moon till now.
D．Twelve Chinese astronauts are being trained for the manned flight to the moon.
小題4:We think that the Chinese astronaut will succeed in landing the moon in 2010 because ________.
A．China will ask for help from the USSR and the USA
B．two countries have set up a space station on the moon
C．China has a large population in the world
D．China has its tradition technology and advanced scientists
小題5:We can infer from this passage that               .
A．China’s robot landing in the moon has been successful
B．the USSR and the USA don’t allow Chinese people to land on the moon
C．Chinese scientists show great interest in exploring Mars now
D．it is impossible for the Chinese people to land on the moon

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared（害怕） on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（運動鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
小題1:The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A．startB．studyC．findD．teach
小題2:The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.
A．what to know about a new school
B．how to prepare for a new school
C．what to do on your first day of school
D．how to spend your first day of school
小題3:According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _______.
A．introduce yourselfB．learn about the school rules
C．make new friendsD．go over your new lessons
小題4:If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________
A．nervousB．luckyC．happyD．excited

Tired of living in the same location but don’t want to leave the house you love? That wouldn’t be a problem if architect Felipe Campolina had his way.
The Brazilian architect has designed a concept for a home tower consisting of portable, stackable (可疊起堆放的) apartment units, which he says opens up new possibilities for ways of living in the city.
His design would allow owners to take their home with them when they travel — whether for a weekend away or for longer periods, he said.
The mobile home tower project is at the concept stage, and it could be years before it is built, if ever at all.
But if it is realized, it would offer an eco-friendly solution to living in urban areas, Campolina said.
“We have enough technology to build with fewer materials and minimize (使減至最小) the impact on nature,” he said.
His vision would call for units with a green roof and walls and a system for recycling water.
The tower, whose first floor would be built nine meters above ground, would also make it possible to save space in thickly populated areas.
“It is designed to facilitate (使便利) its application in dense urban centers, where space is very limited,” he said.
Still just a concept, Campolina — who designed the building for architecture journal eVolo’s Skyscraper Competition — said with enough public interest, it just might become a reality one day.
小題1:We can learn from the first four paragraphs that the tower _____.
A．is now being built
B．is intended for people in the countryside
C．will be made up of mobile living units
D．was designed by a US architect
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE about the home tower?
A．All its walls will be painted blue.
B．It will have a waste paper recycling system.
C．It will be made of recycled rubbish.
D．It will do little harm to the environment.
小題3:The building’s first floor would be built high above ground _____.
A．to save space in crowded citiesB．to make the building attractive
C．to build the house solidlyD．to fix its units more easily

WASHINGTON—Two-thirds of the world’s polar bear population could be gone by 2050 if predictions of melting sea ice hold true, the US Geological Survey reported on Friday.
The fate of polar bears could be even worse than that estimate, because sea ice in the Arctic might be disappearing faster than the available computer models predict, the geological survey said in a report aimed at determining whether the big white bear should be listed as a threatened species.
“There is a definite link between changes in the sea ice and the welfare of polar bears,” said Steve Amstrup, who led the research team. He says Arctic sea ice is already at the lowest this year and is expected to retreat(退卻) farther this month.
That means that polar bears—some 16,000 of them -- will disappear by 2050 from parts of the Arctic where sea ice is melting most rapidly, along the north coasts of Alaska and Russia, researchers said in a telephone briefing(簡報).
Other polar bears could survive beyond that date but many of those could be gone by 2100, Amstrup said. By this century’s end, the only polar bears left might live in the Canadian Arctic islands and along the west coast of Greenland.
“It is likely to result in loss of approximately two-thirds of the world’s current polar bear population by the mid 21st century,” the report’s executive summary said.
“Because the observed trajectory(軌跡)of Arctic sea ice decline appears to be underestimated by currently available models, this assessment of future polar bear status may be conservative(保守的).”
In January, the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing the polar bear as a threatened species, noting polar bears depend on sea ice as a platform to hunt seals, their main food.
Without enough sea ice, polar bears would be forced onto land, but they are poor hunters once they get out of the water and ice, the researchers said. The bears’ disappearance would probably take place as young cubs(幼獸)failed to survive to adulthood and females were unable to reproduce successfully.
小題1:What was the US Geological Survey intended to do?
A．To determine whether the polar bear was in danger.
B．To measure how fast the sea ice melts in the Arctic.
C．To check the predictions of the computer models.
D．To find out the exact number of the polar bear.
小題2:What causes the polar bears to disappear by 2050?
A．The pollution of the Arctic region.B．The sea ice melting at high speed
C．Fewer food sources being left.D．The temperature getting colder.
小題3:The key to preventing polar bears dying out seems to _______________.
A．help young polar bears to survive the cold winter
B．have large number of seals living in the oceans
C．make sure there is enough sea ice in the Arctic
D．provide chances for adult polar bears to reproduce

People come in all shapes and sizes，colors and races (種族). Some speak differently while others act differently.
My mother is in a wheelchair. I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy".
My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school，drives me to meetings，cooks dinner，and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great，though.
She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.
Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside，rather than what is on the outside.
You may have realized that all the qualities (品質) I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is，but most are not.
I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features.
