阅读短文，选择正确答案。    The word "day" has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using "day" to
mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using "day" to mean the time between sunrise and
sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the
earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over
and over by the spinning (旋转) of the earth. At the equator (赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length.
They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months
the North Pole is tilted (倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere (半球) gets more hours
of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer
than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere
gets more sunlight. Days are longer than night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the
season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days. 1. When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______. [     ]
A. both day and night
B. day
C. neither day nor night
D. night 2. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ______ of the earth. [     ]
A. the pushing
B. the pulling
C. the spinning

阅读理解。    If you don"t use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them
again, they will gradually (逐渐地) become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do not
seem to know that it is the same with our memory. 　　
    If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he
has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (责怪), and few of us know that it is just
his own fault. 　　
    Have you ever found that some people can"t read or write but they usually have better memories? This is
because they can not read or write and they have to remember things; they can not write them down in a little
notebook. They must remember dates, names, songs and stories; so their memories are being exercised the
whole time. 　　
    So if you want a good memory, learn from these people: practice remembering. 1. What will happen to your arms or legs if you don"t use them for some time?
    They will be ______. [     ]

    Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In
August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and
other kinds of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the middle west, it is very hot
sometimes and very cold sometimes. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes
in February or March.
    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists showed that the
IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ
was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can
make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse on exams in the hot months of
the year (July and August).
    Weather also has a strong influence on people"s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They
usually feel cold these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But big people may have a hard
time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
    Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on
low-pressure days. There is "good weather" for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about
18℃.
    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather"s fault.

1. ______ can have a bad effect on health.

[ ]

A. Hot and wet weather
B. Good weather
C. Warm weather
D. High intelligence

2. People may have more intelligence when ______ comes.

[ ]

A. a rain
B. very hot weather
C. a wind
D. low air pressure

3. Low air pressure may make people ______.

[ ]

A. forgetful
B. sad
C. angry
D. tired

4. In "good weather"of 18℃, ______.

[ ]

A. people are very forgetful
B. people can"t do their work well
C. thin people feel cold
D. people are in better health

    How can you think in English? I think the best way is to practice as what a football player does every day.
During the practice the football player will pass the ball to his teammates over and over again. So (1)he won"t
have to think about passing the ball in the game, he will just do it.
    (2)You can train yourself to think in English in this way. The first step is to think of the words that you
use daily, simple everyday words like book, shoe or tree. For example, whenever you see a"book", you should
think of it in English instead of in your mother language.
    After you have learned to think of several words in English, then move on to the next step-think of sentences
in English. (3)听是学英语的一个非常有用的方法. Listen first and don"t care too much about whether you
fully understand what you"re hearing. Try to repeat (重复) what you hear. (5)The you listen, the you learn.
After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English. This will lead you to think
in English.

     For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping - watching TV and buying things by phone.
Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In some   1   countries, people can turn on their   2   and shop
for clothes, jewelry, food, toys and   3   things. 　　
    Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.   4 , the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds
of things on TV in fifteen European countries, and in one year, it makes $10 million. In France, there are
two teleshopping channels, and the French   5   about $ 20 million a year in buying things through those
channels. 　　
     In Germany,   6   last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day.
Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can   7   for telebusiness, including the
largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German   8   are hoping
these will help them sell more things. 　　
     Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without   9 . With all the
traffic problems in cities, going shopping is not an easy thing. But at the same time, other Europeans  10
like this new way of buying things. They call  11  "junk (垃圾) on the air." Many Europeans usually worry
about the quality (质量) of the things  12  on TV. They think high quality is the most important thing, and
they don"t believe they can be sure about the quality of the things  13 . 　　
     The need of high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be  14  the American
companies. They will have to be more careful about  15  of the things they sell. They will also have to work
harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see by themselves.
