阅读理解。     Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English
is to speak to a foreigner. This week"s question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation
with the foreigners he sees every day. One student asks, "Is it Okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the
street?"
     The answer is yes or no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him,
"May I help you?" But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations,
however, do exist (存在) where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school,
office, shop or restaurant, for instance (例如), feel free to ask him (for example):
     — What is your name?
     — Where do you come from?
     — What do you think of Beijing?
     — How long will you stay in Beijing?
     There are also situations where it"s Okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner
alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate (合适的) to ask him or her:
     — Is this seat free?
     — Do you mind if I talk to you in English?
     You can probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone. You may be able to make them
feel more welcome.
     After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask
you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you"re in luck. If not, then give them their
privacy (独处). Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place. 1. It is the best way to practice your spoken English with _____. [     ]
A. Japanese
B. Americans
C. your classmates
D. French people 2. From the second paragraph, we can get to know that _____. [     ]

阅读理解。     What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don"t know what
to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown away as the
rubbish.
     Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has
agreed to help recycle old Sony products (产品). Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take
back some old computers.
    In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and
recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is
that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers
that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade (升级).
    Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds
of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach
others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who
need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person"s rubbish into someone
else"s useful things and cut down waste, too. 1. What do many people do with old computers? [     ]

    Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they
can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap (捕蝇草).
    The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the
pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly
touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses
the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
    Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places,
the ground is very poor. It doesn"t have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot
of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let"s hope that some of the bigger plants don"t get
the same idea!
