It takes about a year before bananas are ready to be picked. Some are as small as fingers. Others are as long as men’s arms. Some banana plants grow as tall as a house – even taller!
Not all bananas are eaten as fruit. Some never get sweet, and they are cooked as a kind of vegetable.
People in most countries never see a banana until it reaches the store. But if you visited a country where it’s hot and rains a lot all the year, you might see a banana plantation, a large farm where bananas grow.
The tasty fruit doesn’t come from a seed but from a root planted deep in the ground. First a stalk pushes up into the air. The leaves grow. In the beginning the banana plant grows very fast – sometimes as much as the length of your feet in one night. Soon, sweet-smelling flowers come out, and when their flowers drop off, bananas begin to grow.
As they get bigger, bananas start turning up. It looks as if they’re growing upside down! Bananas are ready to eat when they turn soft and yellow. Bananas are picked long before this – when they’re hard and green. This is because bananas have to travel many miles before they arrive at a store. On trucks and boats and trains bananas travel all over the world. There are special boats just for bananas and special trains that keep them just cool enough so that they will get ripe while traveling. If bananas are picked when they are ripe (成熟的), they will spoil on the way.

The first lift that we know about was used by the Greek scientist, Archimedes, in about 230 BC. It was a simple place that could be pulled up and down with a rope. A lift like this was used much later in the 12th century by priests who lived on top of a mountain at Metereo in Greece. Because they were afraid of killers, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by lift, which priests worked from the top of the mountain.
A few hundred years later, a Frenchman, Villayer, invented a ‘flying chair’ which used a rope and a place. A number of rich people had these ‘flying chairs’ built in their homes, including Queen Anne of England in Windsor Castle and Louis XVI of France at Versailles. Unluckily, Louis’ daughter was badly hurt when using one of the chairs, and Villayer ran away, afraid that he would be punished.
The main problem for lift engineers was that either humans or animals were needed to pull the ropes. This problem was not worked out until the discovery of steam power. But even steam powered lifts were not always safe because they also used ropes which sometimes broke. If the rope broke - which it sometimes did - the lift fell to the ground and people in it were killed or hurt. This problem worked out in 1854 when an American, Elisha Otis, invented something which stopped the lift from falling if the rope broke. At first Otis lifts were used only in factories, then in 1857 he built one in a large New York store. Now lifts use electric power and are completely safe. They also travel very quickly. Some lifts travel faster than 60 kilometers an hour.
小题1:The writer thinks that lifts are important today because __________.
A.people like playing on them |
B.they are the best way of using steam power |
C.we need them for tall buildings |
D.workers are lazy |
A.they thought the stairs were broken |
B.they liked having stairs and a lift |
C.the lived at the bottom of a mountain |
D.they were afraid of killers |
A.poor people could not afford his ‘flying chair |
B.someone was hurt in one of his ‘flying chairs’ |
C.his ‘flying chair’ did not work at all |
D.he ran away with Louis XVI’s daughter |
A.they did not need a living thing to pull the ropes |
B.Elisha Otis could invent a lift that would not fall |
C.the rope always broke |
D.they could use lifts in factories |
China has banned (禁止) free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin (超薄) plastic bags has also been banned.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring theft own bags for shopping.
What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask theft parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.

Most people have red faces and talk in sentences(句子) when they are shy. But some become shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big . Some experts(专家) say shy people are good at working because they think more and less. But remember not to let good opportunities(机会) pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or give some performances in front of others, just do it. There’s nothing to .

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD(公元) 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this. You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity(电) often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave(微波炉), computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy(赶时髦的), beer-drinking granny”, to one who cooked things.
小题1:The writer uses the quote(引号) at the beginning of the story to ________.
A.tell us a truth about our lives |
B.tell us what life was like long time ago |
C.point out what causes such a thing to happen |
D.point out some problems we will meet in the life |
A.have speeded up our lives | B.have improved the quality of our lives |
C.may make people feel very happy | D.may bring people some trouble |
A.they loved to live simple lives |
B.they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions |
C.they were troubled by modern inventions |
D.living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them |
A.People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier. |
B.An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better. |
C.The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house. |
D.With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired. |
A.problems with technology |
B.improvements of our lives with technology |
C.changes happening to technology |
D.the importance of technology |
