Rabbits are easy to raise. They are clean and quiet. They don’t need a lot of room. And it costs a small amount of money to feed them, but you can get a big return.
One male and two females will produce as many as fifty more rabbits in a year. That is enough to provide enough meat for a family. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat.
You don’t have to be a farmer to raise rabbits. You can raise them in the city.
Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They don’t have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high and one meter deep.
Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square. Waste from the animals will drop through the holes. This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry.
Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain.
Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the fence.
Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbit cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence.
One month after mating(交配), female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two months, a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a meal for a small family.
Rabbits are also valuable for their fur. It takes time, skill and money to prepare the fur and skin for use. If you have only a few rabbits, it probably would be best to let a tanner(制革工) prepare the fur for you. Skill is also needed to remove the fur from the rabbit.
But rabbits do not have to be dead to be valuable. Many people enjoy keeping rabbits as friendly pets. And rabbit waste makes an excellent fertilizer(肥料). It can be mixed directly into the soil to improve the growth of vegetables, trees, and flowering plants.
小题1:The text is written mainly_______.
A.to explain why rabbits are clean and quietB.to let people know more about rabbits
C.to tell readers how to raise rabbitsD.to introduce a small friendly animal pet
小题2:What is important if you raise rabbits?
A.Holes are needed for waste to drop through.
B.Each rabbit must be given a separate room.
C.Each room must have clean water every day.
D.Feeding containers are hung on the fence.
小题3:Why should the holes in the wire fence be about one centimeter square?
A.Because the holes let in sunlight.
B.Because rabbits like these holes.
C.Because rabbits get food from them.
D.Because waste of rabbits drops through the holes.
小题4:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.You don’t have to kill rabbits to make more money.
B.Rabbits cannot be sold to make money when they are alive.
C.Rabbits are more valuable when they are alive.
D.Rabbits have to be killed to be more valuable.

As A/H1N1 continues to spread, experts from the Centers for Disease Control to the World Health Organization to neighborhood doctors are calling on the people to practice smart flu prevention techniques. Here are some tips to keep body improved and immune(免疫)system ready to fight infection.
Wash Your Hands
And wash them often, in hot soapy water, and for the amount of time it takes you to sing “Happy Birthday” twice.
Get Enough Sleep
This means slightly different things to different people, but try to get 8 hours of good rest each night to keep your immune system in top flu-fighting shape.
Keep Hydrated
Drink enough water each day to clear poisonous matter from your system and keep up good moisture(湿度)production in your body.
Eat Immune-Improving Foods
Keeping you body strong and ready to fight infection is important in flu prevention. Fatty foods can slow your metabolism(新陈代谢), make you feel inactive, and weaken your immune
system. So stick with whole grains, colorful vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.
Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol is likely to decrease your resistance to infections and further damages the immune system. So avoid alcoholic drinks to keep your immune system strong.
—————————————?
Proper exercise-for example walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week-supports the immune system by increasing circulation, oxygenating the body, removing poisonous material through sweat, and reducing tension and stress. So get moving!
Avoid Contact with Sick People
If you’re coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth(and then wash your hands),and if you have to be around someone who is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and avoid physical contact.
Know When to Get Help
A/H1N1 can look like regular flu, so don’t feel like you necessarily are infected if you’re exhibiting flu-like symptoms(症状). But do go to your doctor if you live in an area where there are recorded cases, or if your symptoms are very serious.
小题1:To fight A/H1N1 infection, it’s helpful for us to_______ .
A.sing “Happy Birthday” while washing hands
B.eat more fatty foods and colorful fruits
C.keep away from alcoholic drinks
D.refuse communication with patients

Providing small classes for at least several grades starting in early primary school gives students the best chance to succeed in late grades, according to groundbreaking new research from a Michigan State University scholar.
The research by Spyros Konstantopoulos, a professor of education, is the first to examine the effects of class size over a period and for all levels of students. The study appears in the American Journal of Education.
He is also a member of a group for the Department of Education’s Instiute of Education Sciences that will give official advice on class size to the states. He said the advice will mirror his research: the best plan is to provide continuous small classes(13 to 17 students) for at least several years starting in kindergarten or first grade.
“For a logn time states thought they could just do it in kindergarten or first grade for one year and get the benefits,” He said. “I don’t believe that. I think you need at least a few years in a row where all students, and especially low-achievers, receive the treatment, and then you see the benefits later.”
His research used data from the Project Star study in Tennessee that analyzed the effects of class size on more than 11,000 students in primary and middle school. He found that students who had been in small classes from kindergarten through third grade had actually higher test scores in grades four through eight than students who been in larger classes early on.
Students from all achievement levels benefited from small classes, the research found. “But low-achievers benefited the most, which narrowed the achievement gap with high –achievers in science, reading and math, ” he said.
Although the study didn’t consider classroom practices, he said the reason for the narrowing gap is likely due to low-achieving students receiving more attention from teachers.
This is especially important in poorer schools because teacher effectiveness matters more in schools with more disadvantaged and low-performing students, ” he said.
小题1:The professor argues about ________ .
A.the size of the classB.the period of the class
C.the attention from teachersD.the achievements of students
小题2:The result of the research shows that _________.
A.small classes for one year in early grade are enough
B.continuous small classes help students achieve more
C.it’s best to attend small classes in kindergarten
D.small classes do equal good to students of all levels
小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
A.High achievers will not benefit from small classes.
B.Continuous small classes have not been widely accepted.
C.Low-achievers should be separated from high-achievers.
D.Teachers’ attention matters less than classroom practices.
小题4:The underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A.the gap between low and high achieversB.continuous small classes
C.classroom practices in later gradesD.the Project Star Sturdy

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.
小题1: The writer thinks that        .
A.choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English
B.dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
C.it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly
D.using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing
小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?
A.Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.
B.Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.
C.Small two-language dictionaries have serious defects (缺陷).
D.Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.
小题3:When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?
A.At the beginning of the reading
B.At the end of the reading
C.During the first reading
D.After the first reading
小题4:This passage mainly tells us        .
A.students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries
B.what were the defects of small two-language dictionaries
C.why students should use large college edition dictionaries
D.what dictionary students should choose and how to use it
