| How many kinds of shapes (形状) can you name? If something is round, what do you call it? You call it a circle. What can you see around you that looks like a circle? Another shape is square. A square has four sides. Each side is the same length (长度). A square has four corners called right angles (直角). A triangle is also a shape. The prefix "tri" on the base word "angle" means "three". A triangle always has three sides and three angles. All the pages of your textbooks have four square corners, but the pages are not square. Can you tell why not? It is because the sides of each page are longer than the ends. Shapes like this are rectangles. You can say that they are rectangular shapes. If you are given a piece of paper which is a rectangular shape, can you make the paper into a square? The answer is "Yes", and it seems not so difficult. Now fold the square. What shape have you got? Do you think it"s very interesting? |

| A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn"t much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what seemed to be a dime (十美分硬币). The sound of a coin dropping on the street catches everybody"s attention. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores (忽视) the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again. There are so many sounds that catch the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when they hear the siren (警报) of a police car or an ambulance (救护车). When I"m in New York, I"m a New Yorker. I don"t turn either. I hardly hear a siren there. At home in my little town in Connecticut, it"s different. The faraway high sound of a police car, an ambulance or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I"m sitting and brings me to the window if I"m in bed. It"s the quietest sounds that catch our attention most easily, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear water dropping a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I"ve been hearing little creaking (吱嘎) noises and sounds in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. Why do I never hear those sounds in the daytime? |
| 1. The sound of a coin dropping made people ______. |
| A. think of money B. shout aloud C. pay attention to it D. look at each other |
| 2. People in New York ______. |
| A. are used to sirens B. don"t hear loud noises C. are interested in sounds D. don"t care about quiet sounds |
| 3. The writer ______. |
| A. has a bad hearing B. stays up late at night C. comes from a little town D. sleeps next to the window |
| 4. The last paragraph (段落) tells us that ______. |
| A. the writer thinks a lot at night B. water should be turned off at night C. the sounds at night make the writer afraid D. the quietest sounds at night are easily heard |

| If you knew a bottle of water had been recycled from urine (尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) may soon do so. NASA (美国航空航天局) said it would use a high-tech machine (高科技机器) to recycle wastewater at the ISS. The machine will recycle everything from sweat (汗), the water for washing hands, shower water, water used for brushing teeth, and even urine, to make drinking water. It will save NASA millions of dollars each year. At present, each ISS astronaut uses about 4.4 liters (升) of water every day. It costs about $24 million a year to transport water up to ISS. NASA says that a liter of water costs about $11,000. The machine will be sent to the ISS in October 2008. NASA hopes it will recycle about 93% of all water used on the station. Will the water be clean? Scientists say the wastewater will go through a very complicated process (复杂 的过程). For example, different chemicals will be put in the wastewater; the water will be heated to 130℃ to get rid of bacteria (细菌). The recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap, scientists say. |
| 1. NASA will use a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater at the ISS to _________. |
| A. protect the ISS B. make astronauts at ISS work harder C. provide better water and food for ISS astronauts D. save the cost of transporting water up to the ISS |

| 3. For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don"t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn"t help you, ask someone else. How to get through exams? Here are some advice: Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam. Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best. Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food. You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport-whatever you enjoy. Stop thinking about the future and failing. If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don"t be too relaxed! 4. Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don"t do it! In fact, don"t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written! To this advice, we could add: If you are studying in the evening, don"t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be "going round and round" -thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things. |
