What will the house look like in the future? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects(建筑师) believe that they are all possible. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible. The tree house Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil (土壤) to keep the home’s temperature. The Lizard house Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. Meals at home This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals. Learning from the past Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier to flow out hot air from the chimney. 小题1:What is the best title (标题) of the passage?A.Green house of the future | B.The greener, the better | C.How to build green houses | D.Changes of the houses | 小题2:We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home_______.A.with the root of a leaf | B.with the energy from sunlight | C.with the soil under the ground | D.with gardens on its walls | 小题3:What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?A.It will take in light. | B.It will produce energy. | C.It will turn dark. | D.It will turn white. | 小题4:The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future________. .A.will be more delicious | B.need more cooks | C.cost as much as possible | D.will be greener | 小题5: A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause________. .A.pollution | B.accident | C.noise | D.techniques |

举一反三
Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school? If you do, you need to control(控制) your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends. Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, wrote My Feelings are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can not make them better. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act”, the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily, and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry. When a baby falls over, it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby, you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do. The book gives many suggestions to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three. ①Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily. ②Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry. ③Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh! 小题1:The writer wants to tell us ____.

Nearly all our food comes from the soil(土地). Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪)from animals also falls on it. All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥)are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼)should not be grown in the same place every year, it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good. 小题1:Which of the following is true?A.All our food comes from the soil. | B.Most of our food comes from soil. | C.None of our food comes from the soil. | D.All our food comes from animals. | 小题2:What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph?A.Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other. | B.There would be no animals without meat. | C.There would be no plants without animals. | D.People, animals, plants and soil live on each other | 小题3:Which is the best food for soil in the field?A.Chemical fertilizers. | B.Plants and grass. | C.Animals’ waste. | D.Different crops. | 小题4:Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?A.Because we can keep the soil rich this way. | B.Because we don’t have enough land. | C.Because we want to have a different food. | D.Because we do this as a habit(习惯). |

There was a lovely vegetable patch (菜园). A large tree grew there. Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knew that the vegetables and the tree couldn’t stand (忍受) each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow (阴影), because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live. The situation became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up. The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to his vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing (施肥) it better than any other patch for miles around. 小题1:Why didn’t the vegetables and the tree get on well with each other?A.Because the vegetables wanted more light. | B.Because the tree drank almost all the water. | C.Because the vegetables weren’t the pride of the gardener. | D.Because the vegetables didn’t look as wonderful as the tree. | 小题2:From the passage we know .A.the vegetables were sorry to see the tree drying up | B.the gardener was very angry with the vegetables and the tree | C.the gardener didn’t know what was happening in the patch at first | D.the tree didn’t know how important the sun was to the vegetables | 小题3:The underlined phrase “in harmony” means “ ” in Chinese.小题4:Of the following, which order is right according to the story? ① The gardener worked on the patch even harder than before. ② The gardener stopped watering the vegetables and the tree. ③ The vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground. ④ The tree and the vegetables realized the importance of helping each other.小题5:The passage is mainly about .A.why the sunlight and water were very important | B.how the gardener took care of his vegetable patch | C.why the gardener was proud of his vegetable patch | D.what happened between the vegetables and the tree |

The Internet, mobile phones and iPads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans. We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly. Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统)
It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact (精确的) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers. Space Technology
Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.
Underwater Robot Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago. The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month.
