"Dummy" is a word for a stupid person. The dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are
designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before, like painting a house or
learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies, such as World History for
Dummies, Rabbits for Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The
first such book, DOS for Dummies, was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS
operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been
sold.
The dummies.com website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be
taught to do anything. First they can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how
the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information
than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the dummies
books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.
There are more than one thousand different dummies books. A report in New York Times says that the
top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance.
The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need-
like information about diseases, education and cooking. People interested in opera, car repair and wine can also
find dummies books to help them. And there are even more dummies books to come. The publishers say that
they publish about two hundred new dummies books every year.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the
biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We
see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem
was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was
dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It"s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one
kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us
angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and
factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous
kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there
will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And
we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
B. Thanks to science development
C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night
D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
B. as easy as
C. much harder than
D. as hard as
B. noise pollution
C. air pollution
D. water pollution
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.
D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting
against the problem of SO2.
series of new ideas towards health, "S" Plan, the new trend in 2009"s healthy project, is made up of several
words with "S" as the initial letter (首字母).
Sleep better
Sleeping is very important in our daily life. Good sleep means a good beginning next day. That"s why
sleeping is considered as the first step among all "S" steps. To get the aim, you"d better give up bad living
habits like smoking and overdrinking, and do more exercise, such as Yoga and Pilates to relax yourself.
Be strong
The word strong here does not mean a powerful body only; it also refers to a strong personality (性格).
Today, no matter whether you are male or female, you have to bear lots of pressures. So in 2009, you have
to be a strong person to adapt the busy modern life.
Become slim
How to become slim has always been a hot topic among office ladies. However, here "slim" doesn"t
mean bony but refers to a kind of fit shape. We all know that obesity (肥胖) arouses many diseases, while
too bony causes health problems as well. So, do some exercise to become slim and keep yourself healthy.
Smile confidently

are lots of ways, such as going out with friends, taking a short trip, having a get-together with your family.
Sometimes, even a small thing, such as a flower can light you up!
Smart adds your charms
It is said that girls are praised beautiful because they are smart and intelligent. As time goes, this concept
(观念) has been approved by more and more people. No matter you"re male or female, learning as much as
you can, grasping as many skills as you can. Knowledge makes you more attractive.

island by last December"s tsunami, say researchers.
Harindra Fernando, a fluid dynamicist (力学家) at Arizona State University in Tempe, made the connection
after a visit to his native Sri Lanka earlier this year. While serving as a scientific expert and translator for a
BBC-documentary team, he chatted with locals who said they saw the tsunami turn sideways when it hit
coral-which would have made it less powerful than in coral-free areas. Fernando linked this to trucks he had
seen last year carrying piles of coral away from the sea.
Using the eyewitness reports, estimates (估算) of wave heights, and a series of divers to check the
presence or absence of corals, Fernando and his colleagues produced a map of coral gaps and wave flooding
along Sri Lanka"s southwest coast.
The tsunami reached significantly farther inland through the gaps: in one instance, the water traveled 1.5
kilometres long and knocked a passenger train off its tracks, killing 1,700. But only a few kilometers away,
where the coral was still undamaged, the wave travelled just 50 metres inland and caused no deaths.
There is a similar phenomenon. In Nicaragua in 1992, a tsunami poured through a break in the coral reef
made to let boats through. "Within this passage, water went one kilometre inland," says Fernando. "But nearby,
where the coral was undamaged, there were still beach umbrellas standing."
In Sri Lanka, coral is illegally mined to provide souvenirs for tourists, or to be used in house paint. Coral
harvesters sometimes blow it up with dynamite (炸药) in order to collect fish at the same time. Often, the
reefs in the best shape are those in front of hotels, as the hotel owners maintain them for the tourists. Fernando
hopes that his findings will encourage the Sri Lankan government to enforce (实施) its laws against coral
mining.

making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has
shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related
to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized
that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these
additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings of foods are helpful
or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals,
and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to
animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although
some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.
B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
C. cancer was discovered in 1945
D. science has made food unfit to eat
B. useless
C. helpless
D. dangerous
B. are not bright and colorful
C. have indirect effects on our health
D. have direct effects on our health
B. to improve the color and taste of the food
C. to change the color of the food
D. to take off the diseases of the food
B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.
C. "The practice continues" means "things are still going on like that".
D. We needn"t take care of what we eat.
people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is
becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing
bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don"t get much rain. But they still don"t become deserts. This is because some
green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don"t let
the sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a bit of rain falls, the
plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become desert more easily.
B. can all be turned into good land before long
C. are becoming smaller and smaller
D. get very little rain
B. they don"t let the wind blow the soil away
C. they hold water
D. All of the above
B. there is not enough rain
C. people haven"t done what scientists wish them to do
D. scientists know little about the deserts
B. it is good to get rid of the grass in the deserts
C. all places without much rain will become deserts
D. it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them
