enough to pass exams. Others didn"t do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time
drinking in the Students" Union than working in the library.
Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred
questions. In my room the night before the test, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night
before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan. "It"s very simple. There
are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I"ll take a coin into the examination
room. I haven"t studied a chemistry book for months, so I"ll just toss the coin. That way, I"m sure I"ll get half
the questions right."
The next day, Fred came happily into the exam room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked
down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor. "Oh, good," he said, "Have you got the result
of the test?" The professor looked at him and smiled, "Ah, it"s you, Baines. Just a minute." Then he reached
into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.
"I"m terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "You failed!"

helped them make the best choice while buying.
Harry borrowed his father"s magazine when he needed a new computer. "I"ll read it and choose the
best one." He said.
The magazine described these computers.

 This computer comes with lots of good software. However it does not have much memory and is rather slow. At $2,850 it"s not very good value for money. |  This is the most expensive computer we tested. However it is also far the most reliable (可靠的). It is very fast and has lots of memory. It is worth the extra money if you can afford it. |  At only $1, 900. It has lots of money and is quite fast.

| We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called "salmon"(鲑鱼).This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year,when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place,but at other times we don"t. Maybe living things just like to travel. | ||

Find the word in the passage which means "the movement from one place to another of a large group of animals" and write it down here: ____________. 3.

| Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves. Why can"t some birds easily catch locusts (蝗虫)? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night. If you study the animal life, you"ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals can"t be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees. Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies can"t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all. | ||

| It was 6:00 on a Monday morning. With his books in his bag, 13-year-old James MWangi was on his way to school, the Mcedo-Beijing school in a slum (贫民窟) in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi (肯尼亚首都 内罗毕). This school was built in 2001 with the help of China, for children from poor families. After getting to school, Wangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that pupils in this school prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes. To study in the school was once a dream for the poor boy. His mother made a living by washing clothes for others. Some days she took home nothing, and some days she could get about $3-it was hardly enough to buy them a full meal for a day. Before joining the Mcedo-Beijing school, Mwangi was at home with his seven brothers, collecting garbage (垃圾). The school is giving these children hope for the future by providing a chance to get education. "For me, education is the best gift," said Mwangi. | ||

| Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities (品德): First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches. Without it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. You can even work, do sports and so on. Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something good for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability (能力) to work with others. Cooperation and communication (合作和交流) are two important keys to better human relations. Everyone needs friends because no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to. Besides the examples above, patriotism is the one we should never forget. Patriotism means a love for one"s country. It is one of the highest qualities of human"s. Everyone should love his own country. But people sometimes think that patriots (爱国者) must be fighters or that they live in a time of fighting for their country. That is wrong. A good youth"s work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do. I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more. | ||
