Now we have comfortable buses in New York. I would like to describe to you how comfortable
they are. The number of the seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19.
In the beginning, they just changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took off 10 seats on the
bus. However, every passenger (乘客) wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when he
took long distance trips by bus. Also, the bus manager wanted to get more profits (利润), so they
changed the airplane seats to sofas, -and the number of the seats becomes 19.
The new buses are coming out, but the prices are going up too. The owners have many ideas which
you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants (服务员) who serve
water, snacks, newspapers and towels.
Also, you can change the direction of the sofas so that you can feel more comfortable, and they
have a service bell on each sofa. Moreover (而且), some companies play some videos on the bus.
In addition, when you take a long distance trip, they provide luxurious buses that have an LCD (液晶
显示器) on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus-they also have three different
video channels, and seventy TV games for killing time when you are on the bus.
In a word, we want to be more comfortable when we are on a trip. That is the reason why we
have sofas on the buses. Maybe we will have beds on the buses in the future. |

Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water, warm
your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, .houses, animals,
or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.
Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories
about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man a very,
very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them.

house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.
Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put
out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they"ll die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with
water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire
and kills it.
Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you. |

Solar energy (power from the sun) is of many uses. In many parts of the world, people are building
solar houses with large numbers of windows to collect the heat of the sun. Solar collectors can make hot
water from sunlight. The rays of the sun heat water in a solar collector, and the hot water goes into a
storage tank (蓄水箱). People can use the hot water for washing or for heating their houses. In the
future, people may use the rays of the sun to make electricity for their homes. They will use photovoltaic
cells to make electricity from sunlight.
The sun is an important "new" source of energy. It is less expensive than oil or nuclear energy.
Furthermore, it does not cause pollution, and it is not as dangerous as nuclear power. Many people
think that solar energy will be the answer to our future energy problems. |
| 1. What is the source of solar energy? |
A. The earth.

One of nature"s most remarkable effects is the mirage. Mirrages occur when there is a great
difference in temperature between one layer of air in the atmosphere and the next.
On a hot day, light rays from the sky. hit the unusually hot air just above pavement or sand.
These rays bend and then continue horizontally along the line of vision, giving the illusion that a body
of water lies ahead.
Sometimes sailors in northern seas observe ships or icebergs seemingly hanging upside down in
the sky. In this case, the warmer air lies above cooler, denser air. The warm air above reflects the
image of the distant ship or iceberg, even when the same object is not seen directly because of
atmospheric density.
Between the coast of Italy and the island of Sicily lies the Strait of Messina.
For centuries sailors have seen there the mirage of a whole city; this mirage is known as the fatal
marriage (命运注定的婚姻).
Scientists believe that some of the flying saucers that have been reported in many parts of the
United States were actually mirages. When light rays are reflected at night by the warm air above
the earth, the mirage of a lighted object appears in the sky. |
| 1. The body of water seen ahead while driving on a hot day is a ______. |
A. body of water
B. reflection of light rays from the sky
C. reflection of a body of water
D. reflection of sand |
| 2. Sailors in northern seas have observed mirages of ______. |
A. bodies of water
B. flying saucers
C. ships or icebergs ahead
D. ships or icebergs upside down in the sky |

Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are
big. And they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap (捕蝇草).
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are
like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small
hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an
hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some
places, the ground is very poor. It doesn"t have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮).
