We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad. They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children. “Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed? ”asks the son of Abu Singar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.

The busy months are October, March and May. ” September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules (日程安排).

December is a quiet month. “It’s the holiday. ”Ms Foreman says, “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year’s Day. ” Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays.

Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children -like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents-seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever (永远)in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. ( )1.

A. the best diary B. the best camera C. a great help D. a beautiful picture (B) The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3%of the fresh water (淡水)which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage becomes a big problem. How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil (使达到沸点)sea water with high heat until vapor (蒸汽)rises, leaving the salt. In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water. Other ways are tried, for example, digging deep wells, keeping rain water and preventing rivers from being polluted. Which way is the best? To get the most fresh water for the least money is the best. ( )6. Where does the fresh water people need come from? A. Sea water. B. Rivers and lakes. C. Underground. D. Both B and C. ( )7.

Hunger is the only problem in our world. B. Water shortage is the only problem in our world. C. Scientists don’t want to spend money solving the water problem. D. Scientists have been working hard and have made much progress in solving water problem. (C) Today there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This is a lot of people to feed. We need more food. One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (转基因食 品), or GM foods. By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared (准备), for example, which stops people from becoming blind. Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food. GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural.

In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground. He ran off as fast as he could, but they followed him. He reached a place where he saw two roads in front of him, one to the right and the other to the left. Which road should he take? He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear. It told him to go to the right, and he did so. He ran on and soon came to a small hotel. He was received there kindly and given a room, and he was saved from the two men. That was the dream. Twenty years later he was really in the Black Forest and, as happened in the dream long ago, two men ran out and tried to throw him down.

The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears. But, of course, the sound of your voice begins inside your head. The bones(骨头) of your head pick up the sound waves, too.

If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle(吹口哨)three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal(信号)given three times is a call for help. Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help. If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with brahches(树枝).

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.”You may think, “He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”.

The Chinese Yellow, Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands. The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife(野生动 物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

Many years later finally saw the Leaning Tower.

Some people want to try to fix it .They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city. I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it .The tower probably will not fall down ,it is 600 years old. why should anything happen to it now? And ,if you ask me ,I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning .Nothing is perfect ,it seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect?

During the vacation, the weather was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily. As the afternoon was hot, I did my work in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in maths. Those took me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and made good progress(取得进步). I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was funny. I would not go home until it was about five or six o’clock.

( B ) Some people remember the things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes in obvious(明显的) places, such as on the table or on the floor in the middle of the living room. I don’t think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it’s too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock(闹钟) to tell me what I should do. I have ten alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example, if I have to make a telephone call at a certain time, I’ll set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a certain television programme, I’ll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don’t know what it means. I always remember setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone, but I can’t be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time. ( )6. Some people like to write notes to themselves so that they can remember what to do at a certain time ( )7. The writer doesn’t like to write notes to himself . ( )8.

You can think our alarm(恐慌), then, when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming to stay with her family for the weekend. Her family, I should say, has four boys, all under the age of twelve. I sent off a telegram(电报) at once, and explained(解释) in it that our house was too small. Aunt Clara called us up the next morning. ‘ I forgot to explain,’ she said in her sweetest voice, “the boys will be bringing a couple of tents (帐篷).” Even so my wife couldn’t make free from fear (害怕). It was true that we had a large garden, but there was still the problem of feeding (喂养) four growing boys. “And what if it rains ?”she asked. But Saturday morning turned out to be bright and clear when I went to the station to meet Aunt Clara.

(D) We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk. People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are: BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back) LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion) People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are: info (information) puter (computer) pic (picture) sec (second) We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as: :-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised) These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example: (happy) (sad) (angry) (cool) T here are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "flaming" the person. It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change. ( )16.People type acronyms so that they can type them quickly. ( )17. “BTW, my puter is not working well.” means that the person is sad that his computer is having problems. ( ) 18. If someone is angry, he may type “LOL” or “BRB”. ( ) 19.
