A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid (混合动力的) buses. They run on diesel (柴油的) and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner.
The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change”, said driver Melvin Day. “I’m smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”
The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel (燃料). They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.
The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries (电池) on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.
Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses.
One other bit of good news: the price of the bus ticket will not rise because of the new buses.
小题1:Why are the new buses better for the environment?
A.Because they’re cheaper than the old ones.
B.Because they are very quiet.
C.Because they run on diesel and electric power.
D.Because they are new.
小题2:Which one is NOT TRUE about the new buses?
A.They use a lot less fuel.
B.They can drive faster than the old ones.

举一反三
Can you imagine living in the desert for a whole year, watching the activities of a group of busy ants? Deborah Gordon did exactly that. She finally found out that there were four main groups of workers in the ant team: cleaners, haulers(搬运工), gatherers and security (安全) ants. Each group did their own job to finish the task of the whole team.
Cleaner ants carried waste food from inside the nest to outside. Hauler ants walked on the top of the nest and cleared rubbish. Gatherer ants went out to find food for the whole team and security ants fought against anyone who wanted to hurt the members of the team.
While she was watching the ants in the desert, Deborah found that the most interesting part was watching the ants dealing with difficulties, such as fighting against other insects that wanted to destroy their nest, or a big fire. At those moments, they would all stop what they were doing and go to help security ants to protect their home.
What do we do when people around us meet difficulties? What have we done to turn our world into a better place? It’s time to think.

Butterflies are common all over the world,but butterflies in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in coo1er countries,and there are more different kinds.
Usually the male(雄性的)butterflies are more brightly colored than the females.The females have bigger and heavier bodies since they carry the eggs.The bright colors of the males help to attract the females,and the duller(较暗淡的)colors of the females make them less likely(可能的)to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.

When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆 )  works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.  When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错).  But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备 ) , and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook.  They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
小题1: Someone can’t have a good memory if _     
A.his parents don"t have a good memory
B.he can"t read or write
C.he doesn’t use his memory
D.he doesn"t use his arms or legs for some time
小题2: If you do not use your arms or legs for some time,                    _
A.they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again
B.they will become stronger
C.they become weak but they slowly become strong again
D.you cant use them any more
小题3: Which of the following is true?
A.Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs.
B.Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance
to practice.
C. Don"t learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory.
D.A good memory comes from less practice.
小题4: Few people know that it is only _     if a friend has a poor memory.
A.his grandmother"s faultB.his parents fault
C.his teachers’ faultD.his own fault
小题5: The writer wants to tell us________ .
