If you ask your parents: “Did you buy salt recently?” They might either say: “Yes, we bought more salt than usual”, or “No, we couldn’t find any in the market.”
This is because of the recent craze(狂热) of salt buying in China. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.
After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(传言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(辐射);second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.
Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didn’t really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.
On March 20, the government said the salt market is back to normal. And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.
Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their money back,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”
Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything you hear.

A. the earthquake

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.
小题1:Some people think railways are dying because______.
A.planes and cars are expensive
B.oil is expensive today
C.trains are slow
D.railways look ugly
小题2:The writer thinks that railways are much alive because___________.
A.they are cheaper and more convenient
B.there aren’t any planes or cars
C.we can have a comfortable journey
D.we feel dangerous on highways
小题3:According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?
A.It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane
B.The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C.When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D.No car or plane can carry as many goods as a train.
小题4: What does the underline word competitive prefer to?
A.参与性的B.性价比高的
C.竞争性的D.对比性的
小题5: The best title for this passage may be __________.
A.Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?
B.Railways, not the End, but the Beginning
C.Trains are More Competitive than Cars or Planes
D.Oh, Super-fast Trains

As is known to all, waste has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many people throw a lot of food into the garbage can. Some people spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes. What do you think of them? Here are some of students’ opinions:
Mary
As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not.” As we know, there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition. We can never afford waste. Therefore, it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up. I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know waste is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being.
Jacky
More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including me. And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used. What I love is the latest fashion. In my eyes, saving is already out of style.
Sally
One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using everyday. After we"ve used them and are moving on to new ones, we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them away. There are different ways to do so such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on.
Tim
The negative effects of waste can be shown as follows. Firstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. Secondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.
