I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend"s house. It was just after four o"clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮) 12.
The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, halfway up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn"t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.
Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, "Just get me out of here. I"ll never be bad again."
Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven"t you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:
"Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4pm and 5 pm on Thursday March 13."

How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you can see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparking stars.
You can see even more with a telescope. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly and giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gases run out, the star stops burning and begins to die.
So next time you look up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than we can see!
小题1:On a clear night we might see things except______.| A．the moon | B．some planets | C．sparkling stars | D．the sun |
小题2:How can we see even more in the sky?| A．By using a telescope | | B．By using a microscope | | C．By climbing up to the top of a mountain | | D．By going outside on a clear night. |
小题3:What does the underlined word”invisible”mean in Chinese?小题4:When a star’s gases_______,the star begins to die.| A．burn | B．run out | C．give off heat | D．get weak |
小题5:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?| A．We might see that many stars look larger than others with a telescope | | B．We might see that some stars that look white are really red and blue with a telescope. | | C．We can see some objects in more and more detail with bigger and bigger telescopes. | | D．The sun certainly seems to be getting old and weak. |

Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don’t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey(调查) in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. Firstly, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh(新鲜的) air. And air is the freshest early in the morning. Besides(此外), it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form(形成) the habit(习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb(谚语) says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
小题1:We may read this passage in a _______ magazine.| A．health | B．sports | C．music | D．travel |
小题2:Early rising people are _______ than late rising people.| A．fatter | B．thinner | C．healthier | D．cleverer |
小题3:Air is the freshest ______ according to the passage.| A．in the morning | B．in the afternoon | C．in the evening | D．all day |
小题4:Which of the following is NOT the result(结果) of early rising?| A．People can get ready for their work. | | B．People can get fresh air. | | C．People can learn things more quickly and better. | | D．People can have enough food for breakfast. |
小题5:If a man always likes to get up late, it’s ___ for him to form the habit of getting up early.| A．easy | B．difficult | C．happy | D．sad |

During the day we work and play; at night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. While we are asleep, our bodies grow most. Children who are tired usually need more sleep. We can get our lessons better and we feel better too, when we have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh（新鲜的）air we’ll feel tired when we wake up. While in bed we must not cover our heads. If we do, our lungs（肺）will not get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who want to grow and be strong must get plenty of sleep.
小题1:Our bodies grow most while we are _______.| A．eating | B．playing | C．sleeping | D．waking |
小题2:Which is better for us at night?| A．Hot air | B．Cool air | C．Warm air | D．Dry air |
小题3:Too little sleep makes us ________.| A．happy | B．hungry | C．tired | D．grow |
小题4:How much sleep should boys and girls of nine years have every night?| A．Eight hours | B．Nine hours | C．Ten hours | D．Eleven hours |

It"s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
1．Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don"t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
2．Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
3. Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted（融化）and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
4．Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples, You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5. Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a "throw－away" society(社会).But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
小题1:_______can be recycled.| A．Only hard things | B．Many things | C．Few soft things | D．A11 things |
小题2:The "recover" rule mainly requires us_______.| A．to throw waste things away | B．to cover waste things with earth | | C．to get back the useful parts | D．to throw the whole things away |
小题3:We can infer（推断）that the writer of this passage may live in_______．| A．China | B．Japan | C．Australia | D．America |
小题4:Which of the following is true?| A．We will have no resources（资源）of nature unless we can do with the waste. | | B．Recycling is the best way to save resources. | | C．If we waste less, we can save more resources of nature | | D．More things are wasted in developed countries than in developing ones. |

Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can"t imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.
小题1:Who thinks that students won’t have to go to school?| A．Everyone. | B．The writer. | C．Some people. | D．The teachers. |
小题2:What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?| A．A school with many new computers. | B．A school with many new students. | | C．A school with many new teachers. | D．A school connected to the Internet. |
小题3:What the writer thinks is that____________.| A．schools are still necessary | B．more schools should be built | | C．there should be fewer schools | D．more computers are needed in schools |
小题4:Why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?| A．Because whole city is connected to the Internet. | | B．Because everyone can go on the Internet. | | C．Because getting online is very easy. | | D．Because Scientists could give talks through the Internet. |
小题5:What fact does the passage NOT provide?| A．Technology will change our way of learning. | | B．If you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology. | | C．The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers. | | D．On the Internet, you can visit another city"s libraries as easily as the people there. |
