This is not a diet. It"s a simple way to lose weight And you don"t even have to give up the food you love
or join a gym. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you"ll become thin.
(1)Wake-up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend
(弯曲) forward until you feel sore in your back. It will burn about 10 calories (热量单位, 卡路里).
(2)Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you"ll
feel fuller, so you"ll eat less when the main food comes.
(3)An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people
who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
(4)Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average (平均) two
and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking
around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss. |

Dear Editor (编辑),
I used to be a doctor in a children"s hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned (中毒)
by medicines for older family members. The children didn"t know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew
it tasted sweet. Children easily opened the bottle that we now use in China.
Some days ago I talked about medicine with an American. He showed me a kind of plastic bottle. The
design was very quite simple and I"m sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the
bottle locks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children
to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily.
I"m certain that the price of making such tops would be very low. As a doctor, I"d love to see this done.
And most parents would be grateful.
Yours,
Li Hua |

On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of
a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.
Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say
that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion.
Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they
need. Plants need water and salts from the soil.
We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保护).
One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots
hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong
winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.
Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot
run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water.
Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
There are some other ways of soil conservation. |
| 1. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because _____. |
| [ ] |
A. there is no terrace on the slopes
B. there is no small plant on the slopes
C. it washes away soil from the slopes
D. there is too much soil on the slopes |
| 2. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _____. |
| [ ] |
A. there is a lot of sand
B. there is not enough water and salts
C. there is no water
D. the land is too hard |
| 3. One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is _____. |
| [ ] |
A. to grow small plants such as grasses
B. to plant trees around an open field
C. to add fertilizer to the soil
D. A and B |
| 4. From the passage we learn that there are _____ ways to reserve soil. |
| [ ] |
A. only three
B. two
C. more than three
D. six |

Africa is home to nearly 700 lakes and rivers. It holds the largest amount of water on earth. Because of
the overuse of the lakes, natural climate changes and other factors (因素), these lakes are disappearing quickly.
Millions of people in Africa depend on water sources like lakes and rivers for their daily water. In other
words, they cannot live without these lakes and rivers. Recent studies by the United Nations show that this
loss of water supply is putting a great pressure on the African population.
In the 1960s, Lake Chad was nearly 83,200 square feet large. In about forty years, it has lost 95% of its
size and it has almost completely dried up. At one time, it was one of the largest lakes in the world, and was
around 960,000 square feet around 6,000 years ago.
The sizes of lakes and rivers and the amount of water have something to do with seasons naturally. But,
pollution and agriculture also play an important part in the loss of water. Many pollutants (污染物) are put into
lakes and rivers so that many lakes and rivers are seriously polluted, and the water may be poisonous (有毒的).
If something isn"t done soon about the disappearing lakes and rivers, there will not be enough water for
everyone. Then many people in Africa will face diseases and possible dehydration (脱水). |
| 1. What can we infer from the first paragraph? |
| [ ] |
A. There are about 700 lakes and rivers in Africa.
B. Africa is the largest continent on earth.
C. As climate changes, there is less and less water in Africa.
D. Now Africa has less water than before. |
| 2. The figures in the third paragraph show _____. |
| [ ] |
A. more and more lakes are drying up
B. Lake Chad was a large lake
C. how quickly water is being lost in Africa
D. Lake Chad is 4,160 square feet now |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT one of the results of the loss of water in Africa? |
| [ ] |
A. African people"s daily life is affected.
B. Agriculture develops quickly.
C. The number of population in Africa will be smaller.
D. Many people will suffer from diseases. |
| 4. What is the purpose of the passage? |
| [ ] |
A. To explain why lakes and rivers are disappearing in Africa.
B. To show people the results of the loss of water in Africa.
C. To call on people to solve the problem of the loss of water in Africa.
D. To tell people how to protect the lakes and rivers in Africa. |

Do you know about a series of books that say they are "for dummies"? These American self-help books
have been translated into more than thirty-nine languages including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, German,
Greek and Spanish.
"Dummy" is a word for a stupid person. The dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are
designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before, like painting a house or
learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies, such as World History for
Dummies, Rabbits for Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The
first such book, DOS for Dummies, was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS
operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been
sold.
The dummies.com website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be
taught to do anything. First they can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how
the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information
than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the dummies
books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.
There are more than one thousand different dummies books. A report in New York Times says that the
top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance.
The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need-
like information about diseases, education and cooking. People interested in opera, car repair and wine can also
find dummies books to help them. And there are even more dummies books to come. The publishers say that
they publish about two hundred new dummies books every year. |

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means.
Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the
biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We
see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem
was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was
dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It"s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one
kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us
angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and
factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous
kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there
will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And
we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time. |
| 1. _____, our world is becoming much smaller. |
| [ ] |
A. Because of the rise in pollution
B. Thanks to science development
C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night
D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year |
| 2. Hundreds of years ago, life was _____ it is today. |
| [ ] |
A. much easier than
B. as easy as
C. much harder than
D. as hard as |
| 3. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here "it" means _____. |
| [ ] |
A. rubbish (垃圾)
B. noise pollution
C. air pollution
D. water pollution |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT true? |
| [ ] |
A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.
D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting
against the problem of SO2. |
