阅读理解。                                                    The world"s water shortage
     The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since
nearly 70% of the earth"s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt
water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and
other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.
      However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is
becoming larger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem
now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on.
      We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop
ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer
system (下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.
      But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we"d have to do
to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we"ll be in no danger
of drying up. 1. The world is thirsty for water because            . [     ]
A. man hasn"t got enough food to eat
B. we haven"t got enough fresh water
C. only 70% of the earth"s surface is water
D. more water is sent into sewer systems 2. The underlined word "valuable" means             . [     ]

阅读理解。     In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most
students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework
is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don"t know how to save time.
They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students
spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up (熬夜) very late. Some students
have to get up every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike. It can be a long way
from home to school.

nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, we should make best use of our time. When

阅读理解。    Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you are you. And they
would do anything for you.
    Like a lot of middle school students, Jessica has a problem. She and her parents don"t get on well.
"I really want to be my daddy"s good girl. But it seems he just doesn"t understand. He talks to me but
doesn"t listen to me," said Jessica, a student from Grade Nine.
    Do you and your parents have problems?
    A study shows that many Chongqing families have the same problems as Jessica"s family. The children,
12-15 years old, don"t like talking with their parents much. They aren"t happy at home. Of course, lots of
other children feel that way. But you and your parents will be happier if you can be friends. Here are some
ways to have a good talk with your parents: Find a good time to talk, like when you"re eating dinner, going
out for a walk or watching TV. Tell them something you"re interested in, or ask them about their lives
when they were young. They love to talk about that! Listen to them carefully, and look at them in the
eyes.
    If you try these ways, you will probably get on better with your parents.

     Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries such as the US,
the UK, Australia and Japan.
     "Chinese children hope very much to go    1    to get a wider view (视野) of the world," said Chen Yi,
a Chinese writer who has lived in America for 16 years. In a talk Chen told more than 300 parents and their
children that life in foreign countries can be    2   for young people." They have to meet a culture shock and
language problems."
     However, these are not the most difficult things. To most children, looking after themselves when
studying alone in a foreign country is a big    3  .
     Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student began to study in a high school in Sydney, Australia last October. To his
surprise, his teachers there    4   pushed students to study. And    5   there wasn"t homework. "With these
education systems (体制), we have more    6   time and more space for thinking," said Zhang." But if you
don"t know how to    7   your time and money, you will not have an easy time." Some of his friends spent
their whole year"s money in the first two months of the term, and they didn"t pass their exams.
     "Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign language    8   and broaden (拓宽) their
minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges," Chen said. "   9   you want to study
abroad, try to talk to someone with   10 in foreign countries. Make sure that you are ready for it."
