Reading comprehension.     Some people like to get up late, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day.
Maybe those who don"t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey in
about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people,
and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.
     So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need
fresh air. But air is never as fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
     Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to
understand what we learn.
     Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
     Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces
and eat our breakfast.
     Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort (努力) to do
so. As the English proverb says, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise?" Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
(     )1. People don"t always agree on whether to e?et up early.
(     )2. In the passage the writer gives four reasons for early rising.
(     )3. Early rising makes people happier according to the passage.
(     )4. Early risers don"t look as healthy as late risers. 
(     )5. The writer encourages people not to sleep late.

阅读短文,完成1-5小题。     What do you think is the most common illness? Do you get ill sometimes? We are lucky to live now,
because there are lots of medicines to make people better.
     The most common illness in the world is the cold. It often begins with a sore throat. Then you sneeze
and your nose runs. You usually have a headache too. Often you cough later. It"s not a very bad illness,
but you can feel quite ill.
     There isn"t cure (治愈) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For instance,
aspirin (阿斯匹林) can stop your headache.lt is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor
once said to me, "With the proper medicine, a cold will continue for seven days. With no medicine, it will
continue for a whole week!"
     Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people knew that some plants made them feel
better. They ate the leaves, the roots, the fruit, or the seeds of plants. For instance, the juice of lemons
makes a sore throat feel better.
     In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals (化学物质) are
in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals.
     There are some illnesses which we can"t cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because
of modern medicines, most people now live longer than their grandparents. 1. How does a cold often begin?

阅读理解。     Do you know all birds protect themselves by always listening and watching out for danger? At the
smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that cannot fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly.
Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing (抖动) their feathers.
     Another important protection for many birds is their colors. Their feathers often have colors that match
the things around their nests (巢). Some birds change colors with the seasons. In the winter they are white
to match the snow. In the summer they are brown to match the ground.
     People sometimes kill birds without meaning to. When people cut down forests to build houses and
factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat,
they will die out.
     Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that eat fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies.
Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds can"t be born.
     Now people protect birds passing the laws to control hunting and pollution, by setting up some special
parks where all the birds are safe from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds rather than kill
them.

     All of us know trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they give us wood and other
products, they give us shade, and the most important of all, they help to prevent droughts and floods.
     In many parts of the world, however, people have not realized the importance of trees to us.
     Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build its warships, with
which it gained itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire, but without its trees, its soil became hard
and poor. When the empire fell into pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and hunger.
     Even when a government realizes the importance of forests, it is difficult for it to make villagers see
this. The villagers want wood to cook their food, and they can earn money by making things or selling
wood to the town people. They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So
unless the government does something to control, and also to educate the people, the forests will slowly
disappear.
1. The most important service of trees is that _______.
A. they help people to get rich
B. they provide people with shade
C. they help to prevent droughts and floods
D. they can be used to build warships
2. The empire fell into pieces because _______.
A. it had lost all of its warships
B. it couldn"t provide its people with enough money
C. it didn"t ask people to plant many trees
D. its people couldn"t make a living
3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Many people haven"t realized the importance of forests.
B. The government should do something to protect the forests.
C. The empire became rich and strong with its powerful warships.
D. People often don"t take good care of the new trees they have planted.
4. The forests will disappear if _______.
A. the government realizes the importance of the forests
B. the villagers realize the importance of the forests
C. the government doesn"t do something to control or to educate the people
D. the villagers don"t cut trees down to make money
5. The writer"s purpose in writing the text is _______.
A. to give us advice on how to protect forests

C. to call on people to do something to protect forests
D. to tell the people to plant as many trees as possible

     Trees are one of the oldest "citizens (公民)" of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution,
improve water quality (质量) and provide food and building materials.
     Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At l to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect
themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have
large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
     当小树成长到四岁的时候,它们成长开始加速并且变得足够强壮以面对未来生命中的挑战。  At the
age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
    It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not
only does the adult tree give us shade, oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree
house, or a place for us to nap, read a book, listen to music or sip.(小口喝) tea. If we give the adult tree
proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years.
     Gradually (渐渐地), trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their
important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it becomes dead, it provides a
home to small animals" and is a source of food for many other animals.
    In many ways, the life of a tree is similar (相似的) to our own life experience. When we are looking at the
life of a tree, we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every
minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees!
1. How do young trees protect themselves? And why do they have large, deep green leaves?

2. Why should we enjoy every minute of our own life?

    challenges later in life.

     Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child"s chance of becoming short-
sighted, a research shows. It challenges (挑战) the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use,
watching TV or reading in weak light.
     The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people"s eyes. They compared
the vision (视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the
Singaporean children were short-sighted-this rate (比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
     Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games.
However, the Australian children spent an average (平均) of two hours a day outdoors-90 minutes more
than the Singaporean children.
     Professor (教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council"s Vision Centre, said, "Humans are
naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number
of short-sighted people gets larger. We"re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around
the world-and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors."
     Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from
becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical (化学物质) which stops
the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted. So be outdoors. It doesn"t
matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.
1. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?
A. 2 hours.
B. 90 minutes.
C.1 hour.
D. 30 minutes.
2. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. Why people become short-sighted.
B. Why natural light has a special chemical.
C. Why playing outside is good for one"s eyesight.
D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.
B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.
C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.
D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you won"t get short-sighted.
