Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near one another, so the first village was established. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became even larger.
When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.
Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

Now more water is needed.The problem is how we can avoid a serious water shortage in the future. 3 Scientists are making study in this field.Today，In most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.but it can be used again.Even if every large city reused its water，the water will still not be enough. 4 .
The sea seems to give us the best answer.There is a lot of water in the sea.All that needs to be get the salt out of the sea water.This will be expensive，but it has already been used in many parts of the world. 6 So you see，if we can find out a way，we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

The English language is changing all the time. New words are created, like DIY, SDA and e-mail. How do words come into English? Many words are borrowed from other languages. From Chinese, for example, English has borrowed words like kowtow and kung fu.
Words have also come into English in unusual ways. Words like classroom and mooncake are two short words which are put together. Also, parts of two words are put together and become a new word. For example, smog comes from smoke and fog. Some words come from longer words, like TV from television, and math from mathematics. Don’t you think all these make English an interesting language?

The rules（规则，常规） in American schools
Greetings
You needn’t greet your teachers when you come into a very big class. If you are late for class, you may go into the classroom quietly. But you should say sorry to the teacher after class.
Answering questions
Don’t talk when somebody else is speaking. If you have something to say, you have to wait. When someone is speaking, you shouldn’t interrupt him or her. If you want to answer the teacher’s questions, you may stand up and speak loudly. It’s impolite to keep quiet when your teacher asks you questions. If you don’t know the answers, you can say “I’m sorry”.
Other interesting rules
Some American schools don’t allow students to wear caps, sunglasses or too large trousers. And they can’t bring any bananas to school. The school bags for the students are usually sheer （透明的）, so teachers can find what’s in it easily.

When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over. You don’t want to work. You stay in bed, feeling terrible.
What makes you ill? They are germs. Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t see them with your eyes, but you can find them with a microscope（显微镜）. They are very small and there could be lots of them on or in a very small thing.
Germs are always in the dirty water. When you look at dirty water under a microscope, you will see them in it. So your parents will not let you drink dirty water.
People can also find germs in the air and dust. If you cut your finger, and if some of the dust goes into the finger, it will become big and red, and you will have much pain. Sometimes they will go into your body and you will have pain everywhere.

New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation.
In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However（但是）, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially（尤其是）when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident（交通事故）on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9am to 4 pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work.
小题1: This passage is mainly（主要）about _____.| A．the weather of New York | | B．the transportation of New York | | C．the people in New York | | D．traffic accidents in New York |
小题2: The fastest way to travel in New York is by _____.小题3:The most expensive way to travel in New York is by _____.小题4:If you travel in New York in your own car, which of the following is the best time?| A．From 8am to 10 am | B．From 3am to 10 pm | | C．From 3 am to 5 pm | D．From 10 am to 3pm |
