The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake.
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide(隐藏) under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings.
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a Split Second Decision》 shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake.
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(专家)find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.
In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.
Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.”

Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don"t show your secret personality when you"re awake because you can control yourself, but when you"re asleep, your sleeping positionshows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions(姿势). The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you"re a very open person. You normally trust(信任) people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don"t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You"re quite shy and you aren"t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you"re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You"re shy and you don"t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You"re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don"t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist(奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss(瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授). He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.
小题1:Dreams          
A.are remembered by everyone
B.express all that we think in our mind
C.include few senses and things we touch
D.include all the senses and things we touch
小题2:In the passage, all the psychiatrists         .
A.believe dreams can help people understand all the problems that they face
B.believe when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world
C.study dream and dreaming and have their own different ideas
D.have the same idea that people often dream about the things they want
小题3:Which would be the best title (标题) for the passage?
A.The fact of DreamsB.The Ways of Dreams

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳),Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning,she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can"t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days,we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.
Water covers 70% of the earth"s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can"t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth"s surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn"t as hard as Napoga"s. But that doesn"t mean you don"t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars,factories,farms and homes make our rivers,lakes,and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish,too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty?First,they pollute the air. Then,when it rains,the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain,called acid rain(酸雨),is also bad for plants,animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years,more than half of the people in the world won"t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half----and you"ll be just as clean.
●When you wash dishes,don"t let the water run.
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn"t full,you"re  wasting water!
