The Internet is a big place and has lots of different kinds of information. Nobody has enough time to find something on the Internet. Yahoo gives us a lot of help.
Two Stanford University students Jerry Yang and David Filo started it in 1994. They made a list of their favorite web pages. When their list got bigger, they made a database (数据库) to keep a lot of information. They let everyone use it for free. Soon, thousands of people were using it.
Then they made a new kind of software. It could store much more information, and people can find information by using it. If you look for "animals", it will give you a list of web pages with the word.
Yahoo became a public company in 1996. As the company grew, Yang and Filo went on working hard. They put more uses in the software, such as shopping and free e-mails. They started Yahoo in many different countries and in different languages.

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.
Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from homes and business and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So, more and more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
(
) 40. What's the text mainly about?
A. How to use boats on Lake Ponkapog.
B. Why the water is dirty in the Lake Ponkapog.

(
) 41. In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ___________.
A. forests
B. people
C. fish
D. birds
(
) 42. From the text, we know that chemicals from homes and business ____________
A. are always clean
B. can help the animal
C. do good to the lake
D. get into the rainwater
(
) 43. What do people need to do to save Lake Ponkapog?
A. Be more careful about chemicals.
B. Use less water than before.
C. Grow fewer plants in the gardens.
D. Use more motorboats on the lake.

When my wife and I went to live in Arab country, my friends told us to be prepared for a culture shock（文化差异）. Later, we realized that the advice given to us by our friends was correct.
The culture shock started with the weather. Here, the burning sun can cook an egg in a minute! The hot weather made us feel so tired that we were falling asleep at midday!
Another culture shock was the working week. We worked from Saturdays to Wednesdays, including Sundays. It was also strange to see people praying（祈祷）in a certain direction! They have strict rules for women. They do not let people see their faces in public. They do not let women drive cars, either. All dresses worn by women have to cover the body completely. They believe that women cannot be seen in public.
At the weekends, we went camping in the desert（沙漠）. I will never forget watching the sun setting over the desert. We also enjoyed riding on the camels.
In the end, we enjoyed living there, but their culture is very different from the American culture.

One basic way of improving your memory is to use the link method. If you want to memorize something, you must make a "picture". If the picture is silly, strange and colorful, you will remember it better. For example, I'm trying to remember the word "smiles". An easy way to do this is to imagine there is a "mile" between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world!
MILLIE
Memory is connected with our feelings. For example, if someone says "This is a spider," and then puts a large spider on your hand, you will probably remember the word "spider"! When some dramatic things happen, we usually remember them well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing. For example, 98% of older people in the USA can remember where they were when they heard about the death of President John F Kennedy in 1963.
54. What method did the writer use to remember the word "smiles"?

Soldiers were in an old, wooden building today when the roof collapsed. The building is on a large, empty plain ten kilometers from the nearest town. Nine of the soldiers escaped, but one soldier could not get out. One rescue worker from the army talked to our news team.
"We have just rescued the soldier! At first, we couldn't open the windows because they were all closed securely. However, we got in through a window. It was difficult to get beyond the window because wood from the roof blocked the way. We finally found the soldier. He was unconscious so we dragged him out of the building. The main thing is he was not seriously hurt.''

Wild animals are important to us. They live together with us on the earth. If there are no animals on the earth, we will not live on, either. So we should take good care of them to help the earth live a healthy life.
But some people still don't realize the importance of protecting them. They kill wild animals for food and other things. Every day there are many wild animals being killed. So lots of wild animals have died out. We can't see them any more. Today the number of wild animals is becoming less and less. If people don't protect them, they will all die out. If this goes on there will be no animals left on the earth.
Luckily many people have begun to realize the importance of protecting wild animals. They ask others to stop killing wild animals. They teach others about the importance of protecting wild animals. Now many countries have made some laws (法律) to protect wild animals and to stop people from killing them.
Protecting wild animals is the duty of each of us. We should do our best to protect them because protecting them is protecting ourselves too.
