If you are writing or studying, it makes much difference where the light comes from. People use        and pens every day. They have to be very careful about the way of the light because the light shines on their work.
Every        gets its light either from daylight        the window        from the lamps or electricity,        no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines towards our books or work is very important to the eyes.
Take a book and sit with your        toward the window, and try to read. Your shadow(影子) falls all over the page and makes it        for your eyes as if you were in a        room.
Now turn around and face the window. The page is        shadow again, while the bright light is in your eyes.
Try sitting with your        side toward the window. This is very good for        , but if you were writing, the shadow        fall across the page and bother you        .
There is another way – sit        your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for writing as well.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is        the same.

举一反三

For a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.
Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.
But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.
小题1:For a long time humans think ________.

A．they can surely find life on Mars

B．there may be life on Mars

C．it’s too late for them to explore Mars now

D．Mars is the only planet that has life on it

小题2:The two robots ________.

A．have found out that it is warm and wet on Mars

B．were sent to Mars to find some stones

C．were the first two American robots that landed on Mars

D．are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far

小题3:The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.

A．it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to Mars

B．two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failed

C．Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successful

D．Mars is called the “death planet”

小题4:From this passage we learn that ________.

A．the two robots have found water on Mars

B．Opportunity touched on Mars a week later than Spirit

C．it’s exciting to have the chance to look for signs of life on Mars

D．Korabl was the first Russian machine to land on Mars

阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词)
In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.

Problems	◆ More fish being caught. ◆ More 小题2: being cut down. ◆ More waste products being 小题3: into rivers. ◆ More 小题4: being born.
Causes	◆ The world is becoming too 小题5: . ◆ Modern methods make the situation 小题6: .
小题7:	We human beings will not survive on the earth.

The first bicycles were made of wood. After that, manufacturers used steel tubes. But the steel ones cost too much. The people in poorer countries want to have cheaper ones.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal (共同的) language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects (影响)of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. I had no interest in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid (愚蠢的). Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands (拍手) and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.
