Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth. The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center. Because of Kilimanjaro"s great height, the mountain influences(影响) its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(湿气) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡). Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退) fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years.

Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away. The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children. Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for. This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away. The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment. Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults. 小题1:The new study may be good news for those who____________.A.have less imaginations | B.don’t know how to relax | C.want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time | D.can find why children suffer from stomachaches | 小题2:What kind of kids will benefit most from the new research? A.Kids who like listening to music. | B.Kids who are good at remembering things. | C.The independent(独立的) kids. | D.Kids with active imaginations. | 小题3:From the end of the passage, we know that__________.A.adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away | B.Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings | C.the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used | D.a cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches has been found | 小题4:What is the best title for this passage?A.How to stop stomachaches in public places. | B.Children can “imagine” their pain away. | C.Children’s imaginations are very active. | D.How to develop children’s imaginations. |

What do you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers? The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on. The trees feed the forest "people" by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out, making it possible for living things to live in it. Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售员)to sell it to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others. We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone. Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know, being a volunteer is so great! 小题1:According to the text, colorful plants and flowers live on______.A.the leaves of the trees | B.water and minerals | C.the soil and air | D.all of the above | 小题2:It is the ________ that make it possible for living things to live in the forest.A.birds | B.trees | C.plants | D.farmers | 小题3:According to the writer, human beings are_______the forest "people".A.like | B.dislike | C.unhappy with | D.different from | 小题4:The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.A.we need people for friendship | B.the forest is a whole world of its own | C.we need one another in order to live on | D.the forest is full of different living things | 小题5:Which one is the relationship (关系) between a forest and your life?A.We are trees in the forests. | B.We like the living things in the forest. | C.We need farmers to grow our food in the forest. | D.We are the same as the forest: we need each other to live on. |

This March, the H7N9 virus hit Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected(被感染)with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough. Don’t be afraid---it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes. Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet , and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses. Cover your nose and mouth, when someone sneezes(打喷嚏)or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your nose and mouth with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands. Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear a mask in the groups of people. Do sports often. Exercise will help your body strong enough to resist the virus. 小题1:How many ways to stop the virus are mentioned in the passage?小题2:What does the underlined word “resist” mean in Chinese?小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Some people who were infected with the H7N9 virus had a toothache. | B.You should cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough. | C.Some doctors say that washing your hands can stop the flu as much as 80%. | D.It’s easy to be infected with H7N9 virus, so you mustn’t go to the places with groups of people. | 小题4:What’s the main idea of this passage?A.It tells us how to wash hands. | B.It tells us why we should use masks. | C.It tells us we should do more exercise to be strong. | D.It gives us some advice on how to protect ourselves when the H7N9 virus comes. |
