【剖析】
这是一篇科普类文章，要求选填的词汇都是浅显易懂的常用词，且都是《大纲》范围内的词汇。因此，学生要通读全文，了解大意。只要能够理解文章上下的内容，对短文语境中有用的信息进行分析、推敲、结合整篇，就可以确定所需词汇。值得注意的是，题目提供的词中有两组形容词、副词的同根词，这就要求我们既要明白文章的意思，还得善用所学的综合知识。        
第1题选good。依句型这里需要形容词，看全文应是 “好”。
第2题选two。文章一开始就说，我们虽然不能阻止地震，但可以采取措施减少地震对城市的破坏程度。如果那样的话，那么在地球板块与板块交界的地方建造房屋肯定不是好办法。 （这是一个跨学科的问题，世界上已经发生的地震多数发生在地球板块与板块交界的地方，科学家们称之为地震带。 由此可见，要学好英语，还要学好其他学科。）
第3题选 may。在这里表示猜测、假设，意思是“可能”。
第4题选 sand  。 “沙地”与前面的rocks 一词对应。这句话是说，如果你认为某个地方可能要发生地震，最好是将房屋建筑在地质比较坚硬的地带，而不能建在地质松的地带。 比如像沙漠这样的地带就不能建造房屋。
第5题选strong 。除地质条件外，将房屋建得strong“牢固”些，也是减轻地震灾害的一项重要措施。
第6题选stay up 。在这里是“站立、矗立”的意思，与前面的 fall down 一词相对应。
第7题选afraid。因为旧金山这个城市就建在太平洋板块与美洲大陆板块交界的地带（环太平洋地震带），所以说科学家们感到担心、害怕。
第8题选houses。科学家们之所以感到担心和害怕，是因为那里的人还在那里建造房屋，这正好与前面说的减轻地震灾害的方法相反。
第9题选now 。与前面的1906年相对比。
第10题选if 。文章最后小结提出假设：旧金山如果依旧那样的话，一旦有一天发生地震，后果将不堪设想。

     Mr. Brown had an umbrella shop in a small town. People sometimes 1 ________  him broken umbrellas, and then he took them to a big shop in London. They were  2 ________ there.

    When Mr Brown got to the big shop, the shopkeeper had got his six umbrellas ready. After a good look at   8 ________  of them, he said, “You’ve mended them very well.”
    In the afternoon he got into the train again. The   9 ________  man was in the same seat. He looked at Mr Brown and his six umbrellas, “You’ve had a  10 ________ day,” he said.

1.brought  2.mended 3. forgot  4. beside  5.picked 6. stopped 7. mine 8.each 9. same 10. lucky
【剖析】
这是一篇伞店老板Mr Brown在火车上发生的故事，是叙述类文章。要求填的词汇都是《大纲》范围内的词汇，因此难度不是很大。学生应在短文语境中对有用的信息进行推敲，结合整篇文章的内容，确定所需词汇。通读全文，了解大意。再读全文，确定所需词的词义、词性和词形。
第1题需要动词，因为该句无谓语，意思是“带来”或“给”，所以选brought。
第2题需要动词，由于该句是被动语态，意思是“被修理”，选mended。
第3题为动词，由空前主语和空后的动词不定式决定，根据下文判断意思是“忘记”，选forgot。
第4题选介词。由语境决定的，意思是“在座位旁边”，选beside。
第5题选动词，意思是“拾起”，恰好是词组pick up,故事发生在过去，所以选picked。
第6题选动词，由于句子是被动语态，选stopped。
第7题选名词性物主代词，由于句子是主系表结构，意思是“我的”，选mine。
第8题选代词，由后面的of结构决定的，指“每一”或者“全部”，选词中没有提供all；所以选each 。
第9题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“相同的”，选same。
第10题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“幸运的或好的”，选lucky。

A farmer saw an old man growing something on the other side of the river.
The farmer  1. ________ out to him, “ What are you growing , Grandpa? ”
The old man  2 . ________ for a moment, then said, “Swim over 3.  ________ I’ll tell

“ You should have shouted. I would have  8. ________  quite clearly on that side.” Said the farmer.
“ Oh, no, I wouldn’t  9. ________ that . The sparrows would have heard me and   10. ________ my peas.”

1. called 2.didn’t speak 3. and  4.idea 5. what  6.quietly  7.garden  8.heard  9.do  10. eaten

【剖析】

1．        此题选called 。 根据第一段讲的“一个农夫在河对岸看到一个老人在种什么东西”推理， 当他想问河对岸这位老人在种什么时，就得大声喊 “called out”。
2．        这题选 didn’t speak。因为从下文可知这位老人并没有立刻回答。
3．        这里需要并列连词，选 and。由上文得知老人没有急于回答，而是让他游过来，再告诉他。
4．        利用排除法，结合上下文的意思，可知此题选 idea。
5．从上下文的意思及句子结构，可知此题选 what。
6．从后面的in his ear ,可知说话的声音应该是悄悄地, 所以选 quietly。
7．从上下文可判断应是在garden里种东西。
8．从这个农夫前一句话有 shouted 一词也知后面为“听”的意思，表示听的结果应为heard。
9． 根据上下文的意思，“我不能那样做”选 do 。
10．此话表示如果我大声说话，麻雀会听到的，那么它就会来吃我的豌豆，虚拟语气，  选 eaten 。

telephone , for, lose, so, strong, clever, somebody, good, happy, outside, everybody, at

“ No，madam, ” said the policeman at the other end, “ But cats are really very 6. ________ animals. They sometimes live for days in the snow, and when it melts (融化) or somebody finds them, they are quite 7. ________  .”
Mrs Andrews felt 8. ________ when she heard this. “ And ,” she said, “ Our cat is very  9. ________. She almost talks. ”
The policeman was getting tired, “Well then, ” he said “ Why don’t you put your 10.________ down? Maybe she is trying to telephone you now.  ”

1.outside 2.for 3. so 4. lost 5.  anybody  6.strong  7. well  9. clever  8. happier 10. telephone  

【剖析】

1.        从上下文可看出猫在外面，因此选outside。
2.        “look for寻找”是固定搭配 ， 所以选for。
3.        从上下文判断表因果, 所以选so。
4.        从上下文判断找不到猫，所以是丢了lost。
5.        在疑问句中应用不定代词anybody  。
6.        猫是一种生命力非常强的动物，所以选strong。
7.        表示身体好当用 well 。
8.        从上下文可以知道， Mrs. Andrews  听了警察安慰她的话后，感觉好些了，所以选happier 。
9.        从后面一句的 “She almost talks”可推断出她的猫clever 。
10.        联系上下文，Mrs. Andrews在打电话，所以警察让她放下电话telephone。

tell, hear, listen to , guard, drum, much, fly , army,  with, other, way , instruction

   An Egyptian(埃及人) put his ear to the ground. He 1 . ________ the horses coming this way. He ran to   2. ________ his people . He was a  3. ________ . That was one way for Egyptians to send messages.
People in  4.________ countries sent message, too. When enemies came, one man beat his drum. In the next village people heard the drum and beat their drums, too. The messages went from village to village by  5.________ .
Much 6. ________ , some armies (军队) kept many pigeons(鸽子) . These pigeons always 7. ________ back. When a soldier was sent far away from his own 8. ________ , he might take a pigeon along. He could tie a message to the bird’s leg. It would fly back 9.  ________   the soldier’s message.
These are shown ways to send messages. Can you think of more 10. ________?

1 heard 2. tell 3. guard  4. other  5. drum  6. more  7 . flew  8.  army  9. with  10.ways
【剖析】

1. 他“听到”马朝这边跑来的声音，故选 heard。
2. 他跑去 “告诉”他的人民，故选tell。
3. 符合上下文要求，应该是放哨的人guard。
4. “其他”国家的不特指，other。
5. 通过鼓来传递信号，drums。
6. “更何况，更不用说 much more ”是固定搭配，所以选 more。
7. 常理，鸽子应是“飞” 回来的，所以此题选flew。
8. 根据士兵应属军队，这一题选army。
9. 表示伴随，应用“带着with” 。
10.根据上文，推断这里是问，“你能想出更多的‘方法’吗？”，所以选 ways。

Light travels at a speed(速度) which is about a million times 1 . ________ than that of sound.  2. ________ one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometers, but sound travels only 340 meters.

The light from some of tonight’s started on 8. ________ journey towards you even before you were born.
So, if we want to be honest(诚实), we 9.  ________ say , “ The stars are shining brightly tonight.”  We have to say, “ The stars look nice. They were 10. ________ four years ago but their light has just reached our earth. ”

1.faster  2.In  3. watching  4. come  5. before  6. so  7. ago  8. its 9. cannot 10. shining

【剖析】

1．        因为光的速度比声快，显然“than”之前应该用比较级，所以选faster。
2．        承接上文，这里应该用“在  内”，选。
3．        介词后应接动名词，表示观看比赛应用 watch , 所以选watching。
4．        see后跟不带to 的不等式，做宾语的补足语，即see sb. do  结构, 因此，选come 。
5．        发令枪响时，在远处观看的人，先看到的是火光和烟，紧接着听到的才是枪声。选before 。
6．        引导一个表结果的状语从句。 “如此 … … 以致于 so… that ” ，下文有that 所以这里应该用so。
7．        由上下文判断这里应选 ago。
8．        “开始… … 的旅程 on one’s journey ” 是固定搭配，选 its 。
9．        上文已告诉我们：有的星球离我们太远，它们的光线到达我们地球需要几年的时间。因而从科学的角度讲，我们不能说“今夜星光灿烂”。选 cannot 。
10根据上文可知，我们现在看到的光是几年前的发出的，应选shining。

But sometimes she had to 3        the house to get some books from the library or have a meeting. She didn't like being away because she was worried about burglar（盗贼）.So she was very careful. Just before leaving, she always put a full cup of coffee on the writing desk, and left the radio playing to make a burglar think someone  4        be at home.
One day she came back after a day out, and found that there was something different in her house. There  was only a little 5.         lift in the cup, and the radio was off. But when she looked at her computer, she saw it was 6.         , and someone had typed in a new story. She had no idea who had got in, or how, because none of the doors or windows was broken. Then she sat down to read the story. To her surprise, it was a very good one. "I'll use it in my 7.        book!" she said 8         .

    New York，London，Paris and other big cities are exciting places to live in．There are many interesting things to see and to do．You can go to different kinds of museums，plays and films．
You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world．
    But there are serious problems in big cities too．  The cost of living is high，and there are too many people in some of big cities．  Every year many people move to the big cities because there are some chances to find jobs，to study at good schools，and to receive good medical care．
But sometimes these people cannot find work or a good place to live in．Also，too many people in a small space make it hard to keep the cities safe and clean．
    Some people enjoy living in big cities．  Others do not． Before people move to big cities，they should think about the problems of living there．


I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago，I also helped clean up the tables when it was especially busy．  One night，just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables．I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner，but I was very busy at the time．Also，I imagined that if there was
something valuable(有价值的)in the wallet，the owner would be back．Sure enough，an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet．  I asked him to describe the lost wallet，and after he described it exactly，I gave him the wallet．He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him．He asked me if I had opened it，and when I told him “no”．At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $8QO in cash(现金)．He took out a twenty—dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed atthis．“A reward(酬劳)for your honesty(诚实)．”he said and then turned and walked away．
    Thinking about it later；I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet!  I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to claim(认领)it，I might keep it．But it also came into my mind  that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet．  The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy．


In a small town, there lived a doctor. He was good and kind. He was ready to go and help people. People always went to him when they were ill.
Many years later, the doctor began to forget things. People were afraid and little by little, they stopped going to him. The doctor saw his business wasn’t as good as before. He thought, " Well, if I was the patient (病人), I' d be afraid to go to me too. Maybe it's time for me to stop being a doctor. But this town has no doctor. What will the people do when they become ill?"
His wife heard him talking to himself and said, "Why don’t you find a young doctor to take your place? Then people will have another good doctor to take care of them and I will get my husband back."
The doctor liked what his wife said. He found a very good young doctor to help the people. The doctor and his wife then had time to take long walks together, go dancing, go travelling and spend the rest(剩余部分) of their days together.

The food in the White Rose Restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed              to eat there. Its owner did not know what to do at first.
Then he did something and it changed all that. In a few weeks his restaurant was always full of              with their lady(女性)friends. Every time a gentleman (先生) came                with a lady, a menu(菜单)           to each of them by a smiling waiter (服务员) . The menu looked the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The lady has the menu with a much             (价格)for the same food and drink.                the man ordered (点菜) different kinds of delicious food and drink, the lady thought he was much more generous (慷慨) than he               was.
Do you enjoy              in this kind of restaurant?


My parents divorced (离婚) when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn't have a father at home on Father's Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved a present on Father's Day than her?
I bought her a little set of (一套) tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers and screwdriver and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother's Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father's Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father's Day memories better than the Mother's Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father's Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.


It was 8:40 in the evening and I was at Starbucks—Plaza Singapura, the place we are going to meet. I was 20 minutes before meeting time. It is not polite to be late for a date（约会）for the first time anyway. I waited, looking at the people coming and going. I was daydreaming about today's soccer match I played and started thinking about life and soccer. Life is like soccer. You never know when you are going to get hit by the ball in your face. You have to live!
As I was trying to relax myself, I felt her appearance—the smell, I can never forget. I looked up and saw her smiling and making her way towards me. She was pretty-looking and she was in fashion (时尚). I stood there watching her coming. A bright colour T-shirt with a beautiful skirt. Wow, I really love girls wearing skirts. It makes them look more attractive and natural.
“Sorry I am late.”
“No, it’s OK. I am just early myself.”
“So what film are we going to see?”
“It's OK, we will check it out later, and anyway what matters most is who I am going to see it with, not the show.”


It is a beautiful day in June. The sun is hot. It's time to harvest strawberries (草莓),and the strawberry fields are full of people. These people are picking strawberry. They are not farmers, and they are picking fruit for fun. They can buy strawberries in a supermarket but it is cheaper to pick their own fruit. Strawberries from the farm are also flesher (更新鲜的). Most people also like to pick their own fruit because it is a pleasant way to spend as afternoon .        
One little boy is walking between the rows of plants. He is Picking the strawberries and eating them as fast as he can. Two young women in petty dress and high-heeled shoes(高跟鞋)are getting out of their car.  Now they are 'taking off their shoes. These women are taking a break from their work. They want to pick fruit and enjoy the sunshine.


The most popular food in America was invented  because a cook got angry. George Crum was a  cook at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day in 1853,a customer (顾客)who had ordered fried (油炸的)potatoes sent them back to the kitchen. He wanted the cook to slice (切)them thinner and fry them longer. George Crum had a bad temper(脾气),and he thought the potatoes were fine the way he made them. To teach the customer a lessen, he sliced potatoes very thin and fried them until they were crispy (脆的).But instead of being angry. the customer loved the new fried potatoes? He asked for more. Other people who tried them like them too, and customers kept asking for them. Far many years, people called them Saratoga chips after the town where they were first made.
Even now. after more than 150 years, potato chips are very popular. Al least one of every ten potatoes grown in the United States is made into potato chips. So if you like potato chips, be glad George Crum had a bad temper!



Many students get a driver's permit at 15. In California, they are then allowed to drive for 50 hours under supervision. "Under supervision" means that a friend or relative who already has a license has to ride with them. But what happens when teenagers(persons between 13 and 19 years old)start driving on their own? Many are careful drivers and never have a problem. But many other are not, and they create(造成)Problems on the road. Fifteen-year-olds are too young to drive, and sixteen-year-olds are too immature(不成熟的)to start driving alone.
In the United States, more teenagers are killed in driving accidents than in any other way. While fewer than 7% of drivers are teenagers, teenagers are involved (占，包括)in 14% of the terrible car accidents in the country. Sixteen-year-olds involved in over 43 crashes in every million kilometers they drive. But seventeen-year-olds cause only about 30 accidents a million kilometers of driving. One year makes a difference. So the age limit(限制)should be increased.


Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(自然资源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India , the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia, The greatest of all for navigation(航海), however, is the Amazon in Brail, It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam(大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.
However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluter with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits(利益) of this natural resource.



A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car，Paul？”he asked．
Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．”The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing？Sir，I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫)．Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly．“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that．”Paul looked at the boy
in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？”“Oh yes，I’d love to．”The boy answered.
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind
driving in front of my house？”
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not
coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and
pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother
climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.



April 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play jokes on others. If one succeeds in joking with somebody, one laughs and says, “April Fool,” and then the person who has been joked with usually laughs, too.
    One April 1st, a country bus was going on a countryside road. The road was so small and not so straight that the driver had great trouble in driving along. When the bus slowed down and stopped, he quickly turned his key again and again, looking very worried, but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with an unhappy look on his face and said, “This poor bus is getting old and it isn’t going as well as it used to. There is one thing to do if we want to get home before dark. I shall count three, and on the word ‘three’, I want you all to lean forward（前倾）suddenly as hard as you can. That should get the bus started again. Now, all of you lean back（后仰）as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”
    The passengers all followed the driver’s words. They leaned back all at once and waited quietly for the driver’s number counting. Then the driver turned to his front and asked whether they were ready. The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer “yes”.
    “One! Two! Three!” counted the driver. The passengers all leaned forward suddenly —— and the bus started up at a great speed.
    The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with joy. But their smiles turned to surprise and then big laughter when the driver cried, “April Fools.”




A 10-year-old British girl saved 100 other tourists from the Asian tsunami（海啸）having warned them a huge body of water was on its way after learning something about this weeks earlier at school.
    “I was on the beach and the water started to go funny,” Tilly Smith told the Sun.
    “There were bubbles（水泡）and the huge waters went out all of a sudden. I realized at once what was happening and had a feeling that there was going to be a tsunami. I soon told mummy about this.”
    While other holidaymakers stood and watched as the disappearing waters left boats and fish on the sands. Tilly seemed to know the danger signs at once because she had just learned a school lesson on huge waves caused by the moving and shaking of the underwater earth.
    Quick action by Tilly’s mother and Thai hotel staff（工作人员）meant Maikhao beach was quickly cleared, just minutes before a huge wave fully swept the beach. The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.
    Her teacher, Andrew Kearney, spoke highly of his quick-thinking student. “Tilly is a very bright, clear-headed girl … It happened that our class were learning about tsunami just two weeks before Christmas,” he told the newspaper.


  A woman saw：three o1d men sitting in her front yard．She said，“I don’t think I know you，
but you must be very hungry．Please come in and have something to eat．”
    “We don’t go into a house together，”they replied．
    “Why is that?” she asked．
    One of the old men answered。“His name is Wealth，this is Success，and I am Love．” Then he said，“Now go in and discuss with your family which one of us you want in your house．”
    Then the woman went in and told her family what was said．She said “Let’s invite Wealth．
Let him come in and bring us nice things．We have been so poor．"His husband disagreed，“My
dear why don't we invite Success? Don’t you want me to be a successful man?" Then the daughter asked，“Would it be better to invite Love? Our life will then be filled with 1ove!" “Let’s take our daughter's advice(建议)，"said the father and mother．
    So the woman went out and asked，“Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our
guest．”Love got up and started walking toward the house．The other two also got up and followed
him．Surprised，the lady asked Wealth and Success，“I only invited Love．Why are you corning
along?” The two o1d men answered，“If you had invited Wealth or Success，two of us would have
stayed out，but since you have invited Love，wherever he goes，we go with him．Where there is
Love．there is Wealth and Success．”

An old farmer had spent all his life on his farm in the country，far from the city．One day he decided to visit the big city．Everything was new and strange to him，because he had never travelled to the city．
     The old farmer visited a lot of interesting places in the city．
     He went into a large tall building and saw a lift．When he watched，an old woman got into the lift and closed the door．After a while，the door opened again and a very beautiful young girl came out．
The old farmer was very surprised．“What an interesting little room!”he said to himself．“It’s magic(魔术)! It can change an old woman into a young girl．The next time I come here，I’m going to bring my wife to take the lift．’


New rules and behavior standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out in March．The Middle School is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are．The best students won’t only have high marks(分数)．They should not dye染) their hair，smoke or drink because they are students．The following are some of the new rules．
     Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do that again! That’s not something an honest(诚实的) student should do．
     Do more at schoo1．Good students love animals and care for other people．April is Bird-loving Month in China．Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! And you can learn more about animals and how to protect them．Be friendly to the people around you．Try to think of others，not only yourself．
     Be open to new ideas．Do you think people can live on the moon? Maybe you’ll find another earth someday．Don’t look down on(轻视) new ideas．Everyone’s ideas are important．You should welcome them，because new ideas make life better for everyone．
     Protect yourself．Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you．If you have to go home late，you should let your parents know.
     Use the Internet carefully．The Internet can be very useful for students．But some things on the Internet aren’t for children，so try to look at web pages(网页) that are good for you．


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 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 (短缺) 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 stopping rivers from becoming dirty.
  Which way is the best? To get the most fresh water for the least money is the best.


　Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.
　　First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favourite food, but you'd better eat something different, if you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients (营养物质) your body needs.
　　Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you're really thirsty, cold water is the No.l choice (选择). Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium (钙) your body needs to grow strong bones (骨头).
Third, listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full? When you are eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach (胃) feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel comfortable and make you fat.
　　Fourth, limit (限制) screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDs and videos, or using computers. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and swimming. You can't watch TV for more than two hours a day.
　　Fifth, be active. One thing you'd like to do as a kid is to find out which activity you like best. Find ways to be active every day.
　　Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.


  Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
   When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind worlds he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨)to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated(重复) the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed(种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power(力量) it has!”


In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home.
"Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?"
"Hey, we're having a dinner on Friday. Can you come?"
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you' re sorry and give an excuse(托辞): "Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like us to come?" or "Oh, sorry, I've tickets for a film."
Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but they are not real invitations, such as, &quotlease come over for a drink sometime." or "Why don't you come over and see us sometime?"
They are really polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a nice time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like this, people just say: "Sure, that would be great!", "OK." or "Yes, thanks."



The mascot first appeared in the Olympic Games in 1972 in Munich. After that it played an important part in each Olympic Games. So it will be in the Beijing Olympic Games. The mascot for the 29th Olympic Games has been the subject of the discussions since Beijing won the right to hold it. There is a competition for mascots of the Beijing Olympic Games. So far Beijing has received more than 600 mascot designs(设计) from around the world. The result will come out in June next year.                The lovely panda, the Monkey King, the golden monkey and the red–crowned crane all have been chosen. But it’s difficult to decide because it should not only show the spirit of the Olympic Games, but also the Chinese culture(文化) as well. It should be welcomed by young and old, men and women.
