For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashion” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable coat.” “His shirt was really a fashionable colour.” But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs … and in languages. Fashions change very quickly as time goes. This is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones, televisions and computers send information from one place to another in a few minutes. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion. 小题1:From the passage, we know that “fashion” means _______.A.clothes | B.many things | C.most of the popular things | D.everything | 小题2:Today fashions change quickly because _______.A.newspapers are read every day | B.information is sent by radios from one place to another | C.new things are often shown on TV | D.people quickly learn about what is happening in the world | 小题3:“There is money in fashion.” means _______.A.clothes are expensive | B.money comes only from fashion | C.people like new things | D.there are no fashions without money |

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.All 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. |

I wonder whether there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow in the sky. It is so beautiful. There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away. A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow(弓). That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see a rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds. Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colour is always red, and the next comes orange, then yellow, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature. 小题1:Children like rainbows because .A.they are beautiful | B.they are like bows | C.they can find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow | D.they are good to crops | 小题2:We cannot feel with our hands.A.a pot of gold | B.a flower | C.a rainbow | D.a raindrop | 小题3:We can see a rainbow .A.when it is raining heavily | B.when it is snowing | C.when it is cloudy | D.when it is becomes fine shortly after raining | 小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.A rainbow is like bow. | B.A rainbow is the effect of light shining on raindrops. | C.Every rainbow has different colours in different orders. | D.A rainbow is one of the wonders of nature. | 小题5:The first colour of a rainbow is always .A.yellow | B.red | C.green | D.blue |

The hottest place in the world is the Sahara Desert in Africa. But there are deserts in many other places: in America, in Asia and in Australia. In 1917 the temperature in Death Valley, in the United States, was over 48°C every day for six weeks. That"s very hot! But deserts are not always hot. After dark, deserts are very cold.
