are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through. That plays an
important part in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the
United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great,
but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers
are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in Southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation (航海),
however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand
miles upon it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun
and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops,
engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people
can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and
industries. However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the
cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with
chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their
rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits (利益) of this natural resource.

the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms
(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the
weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will
change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they
receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the
clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon
change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the
scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for
three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
B. in the atmosphere
C. above the ground
D. above space
B. clouds form there
C. the weather forms there
D. the pictures can forecast the weather
B. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C. before they received satellite pictures
D. during they study satellite pictures
B. two days
C. five days
D. seven days or even longer
B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C. doing other work in many ways
D. weather forecasting
Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don"t worry because most are so weak that they cannot
be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in
Sichuan last month. Thousands of people died in it. So it"s important to know what to do when one hits.
Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake.
a. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything
that could fall on you.
b. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and
streetlights. These could fall on you.
c. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don"t try to run outside and rush for exits (出口).
Everyone will be doing that and you"ll find it hard getting out. Don"t get into a lift during an earthquake.
Just hide under some strong cover near you.
d. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as
dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it"s safe to get up.
e. If you are at home and you smell gas (煤气), open the windows and get out of the building as quickly
as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.
B. weak
C. dangerous
D. scary
B. stay under a tree
C. stand by the window
D. stay near the signs
B. run after the people quickly
C. hide yourself under a cover near you
D. try to rush for exits
B. How to be safe during an earthquake
C. Don"t be afraid of the earthquake
D. An earthquake can hurt people
B. You"d better keep away from those things that may fall on you wherever you are.
C. If you smell gas at home, try to hide under a desk and don"t run outside quickly.
D. Quite a few earthquakes hurt people.
control panel (控制板), but most microwave ovens operate in a similar way. Look at the control panel.
It shows the time at the top of the panel.
Under the time are the different functions (功能). You can press Defrost, Cook, Clock, or Power.
You can also warm food by pressing Reheat Times. Under the functions are the numbers. These numbers
are shown as on telephone, from zero through nine. You can press the numbers to set the cooking time
in seconds or minutes. Under the numbers are Start and Clear.
A microwave oven will automaticall (自动) cook on HIGH (power level 10) unless you enter a lower
power level. Suppose you want to cook a serving of broccoli for two minutes and forty-five seconds on
MEDIUM (power level 5). First, press the numbers2,4and5 (two minutes, forty-five seconds). Then press
Power. Next, press the number 5.At last, press Start to begin cooking. If you make a mistake, press Clear.
This will clear the display and allow you to start oven again.

topic; second, your hand must work as fast as your ears so that you can write down as much information
as possible.
You don"t have to learn how to write down what you hear. But you do need to practice a few simple
skills to help you to be good at note-taking. Also, you should learn how to write only the most important
words in short forms from each sentence without taking notice of the rest.
In the old days, people sent telegrams to each other. When they did it, they had to pay by the word, and
it was expensive. That is why they sent very short telegrams which included only the most important words.
Let"s compare these two examples:
☆"I will be arriving tomorrow, Monday, April 15,on TWA flight number 222, at JFK airport."
☆"Arrive 15th TWA 222 JFK"
Which would be more expensive?
When you take notes, you have a similar problem. In this case it is not money, but time. For that reason,
it is a good idea to practice listening for only the most important sentences, and only the most important
words in those sentences.
| To take good notes, first, you must understand main 1______. |

| Like all insects, ants (蚂蚁) have six legs. Each leg has three joints (关节). The legs of an ant are very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a horse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. The life of an ant is usually 45-60 days. Ants use their antennae (触角) not only for touch, but also for smell. The head of an ant has a pair of large, strong jaws (颚). The jaws open and shut sideways like a pair of scissors (剪刀). Grown-up ants cannot eat hard food. Instead they have the juice that they get from pieces of food. They throw away the dry part that is left over. An ant has two eyes. Each eye is made up of many smaller eyes. They are called compound eyes. An ant has two stomachs. One stomach holds the food for itself and the other is for food to be given to other ants. Like all insects, the outside of their body is hard. Each ant group has at least one or more queens (蚁后). The job of a queen is to lay eggs and worker ants look after them. Worker ants look after the young, protect the nest (巢) from unwanted visitors and look for food. At night worker ants move the eggs and baby ants deep into the nest to protect them from the cold. During the daytime, worker ants move the eggs and babies to the top of the nest so that they can be warmer. Each group of ants has its own smell. In this way, visitors can be made out at once. If a worker ant has found where the food is, it leaves a special smell so that the other ants in the group can find the food. Ants are clean and tidy insects. Some worker ants are given the job of taking the waste from the nest and putting it outside in a special rubbish dump. |
