Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks(手艺). They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

The Soviet Union(前苏联) sent the first space station into space in 1971. This space station was called Salyut 1. Salyut 1 was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments. The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days. TheSoviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab.
Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time. However, it wasn’t until the late 1980s when The Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.
Living in space stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems. One of them is food. All the meals on space station are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans. The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care.
Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tough. Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating. They also have to be very careful to that food does not float away.
小题1:Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “observed” in Paragraph 2?
| A．Discovered | B．Checked | C．Watched | D．Fixed |
| A．Astronauts can never have a chance to eat fresh food when they live in space station. |
| B．The Soviet Union sent a total of 9 space stations into space in the 1970s and 1980s. |
| C．Astronauts could live in the Mir space station for no more than three weeks. |
| D．Space travel has quite a long history of more than 60 years. |
| A．Exploring Space | B．Space Travel | C．Living in Space | D．Space Stations |
A recent survey found that in the US children between 8 and 12 spent at least 13 hours a week playing video games or “gaming”. Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.
One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving problems because they do not practice these shills when sitting alone at a computer.
Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.
Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, _______________.
Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted(成瘾). Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!
This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.
小题1:Children of 8 to 12 in the US spent at least _____ hours a week playing video games.
| A．13 | B．16 | C．28 | D．50 |
| A．Two. | B．Three | C．Four | D．Five |
| A．they might become ill | B．they might lose their friends |
| C．they might stop playing games | D．they might get lower grades at school |
| A．Video gaming has quite a lot of advantages. |
| B．Video gaming might be a dangerous thing. |
| C．Childhood is a time of fun and games. |
| D．Children should learn how to get along with others |
The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day, people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought（干旱）and floods（洪水）. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers. In the end he finds that he has lost the best friends he had.
小题1:Trees are important to man in ways.
| A．2 | B．3 | C．4 | D．5 |
| A．Trees give food to both man and animals. |
| B．Trees only provide animals with food. |
| C．Trees give food to neither man nor animals. |

| B．people usually walk a long way |
| C．animals don"t need shade |
| D．the shade of a tree is very important to man and to animals |
| A．give us food | B．give us shade |
| C．prevent drought and floods | D．give us wood |
| A．farmer | B．man | C．worker | D．boy |
In China, I had English classes five times a week since Grade Five. But I didn’t know textbook English could be so different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say “I’m fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the USA, I found that people say “I’m good.” or “I’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted （问候） me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have learnt more and more differences between Chinese and American cultures. To my surprise, American girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun getting a tan (晒黑的肤色). In China, girls try every possible way to keep their skin white.
American students are hard-working like Chinese students. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student not only gets good grades, but also does a lot for the public. That is to say, they get lots of knowledge at school and learn many life skills from social （社会的） work.
小题1:In China, Wang Jun had _______ English classes every week.
| A．five | B．four | C．three | D．two |
A. it was really important to learn English well
B. English he learnt in China was helpful to him
C. American students were more hard-working than Chinese students
D. textbook English was different from everyday English
小题3:What does the underlined word “confused” mean in Chinese?
| A．困惑的 | B．滑稽的 | C．紧张的 | D．伤心的 |
| A．they work hard at school | B．they try to keep their skin white |
| C．they hope to get a tan | D．they do lots of social work |
| A．My wonderful travel in the USA | B．After-school activities in American schools |
| C．What American students learn at school | D．My study experience in the USA |
The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index (指数) on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day – March 21.
According to the index, nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.
Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says: “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”
Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping. The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.
How to sleep well? Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.
Forming good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices (数码产品) for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while. Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.
小题1:From Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true?
| A．The longer you sleep, the better. |
| B．Many Chinese people don’t sleep well. |
| C．Many Chinese people don’t care about sleep. |
| D．Sleep is very important for our body and brain. |
| A．You feel tired after getting up. |
| B．You can fall asleep within 20 minutes. |
| C．You wake up several times during the night. |
| D．You often do something boring until you feel sleepy. |
| A．Reading a book late at night. |
| B．Having sad or angry feelings. |
| C．Playing with digital devices before sleeping. |
| D．Being under strong stress about their life or work. |
| A．They should do different things before sleeping. |
| B．They should sleep for more than nine hours a day. |
| C．They should not use any digital devices during the daytime. |
| D．They’d better go to sleep and get up at the same time every day. |
