1 . In England, traffic keeps on the left. Cars, buses and bikes all move on the left side of the road. But the traffic keeps on the right in China. So when you are in England, you must be very careful (小心的) in the street. Before you cross a street you must stop and look both ways. Look right and look left and look right again. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then the people on foot can cross the road. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn’t cross.
In the morning and in the evening, when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very busy. Traffic is very dangerous (危险的). When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember the traffic moves on the left. If you don’t have a look first, you will go the wrong way.
In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. It’s very interesting.

2 . School is a good place for us to study. Yet sometimes, it’s easy for us to have accidents there. Experts (专家) suggest that right safety training could avoid 80% of these accidents. Here are parts of safety rules in some countries.
In China, fire training at school is common to teach students to deal with emergencies (紧急情况) . During the training, students hurry to the playground with a wet cloth covering their mouth. Fire training is held each term. |
In many middle schools in the UK, students can choose to take a bicycle course. There, they learn how to ride to school safely. |

3 . We have always been interested in the moon. 2, 000 years ago, people already knew it moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity (重力) millions of years earlier.
In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

| A．The earth was once part of the moon. | B．The moon used to be part of the earth. |
| C．Mars will hit earth in the near future. | D．Rocks will join together to become another moon. |
| A．new information brings new ideas | B．scientists in the past were not clever |
| C．we now know everything about the moon | D．scientists are so clever that they know everything |
4 . If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be more suitable for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University have found that sad movies can make people happier.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Aronement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated (分开). They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.
According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”
1. The scientists asked the college students to watch Aronement ________.| A．to help them make more friends | B．to make them feel better about themselves |
| C．to find out how they felt after watching it | D．to encourage them to share their feelings |
| A．Six times. | B．Five times. | C．Four times. | D．Three times. |
| A．manners | B．luck | C．news | D．feelings |
| A．Feeling Sad? Watch a Sad Movie | B．Feeling Lonely? Find True Love |
| C．Feeling Bad? See a Happy Film | D．Feeling Down? Think About Others |

6 . Before 1978, life was much harder than today. People didn’t have enough modern machines. There was no much modern medicine, either. Almost everyone, old and yang, was hungry and poor. Although people worked hard.
After more than30-year reform and opening up (改革开放), there are thousands of factories in our country. Life today is becoming richer and richer, more comfortable and comfortable. More and more families have mobile phones and cars. Many families live in tall buildings.
But it brought out new problems. One of the most serious problems is pollution. A few years ago, water pollution made our rivers and lakes dirty. The environment was seriously polluted. Like many countries, our government began to take pollution seriously and made laws and rules to solve the problem. Factories must clean their water before pouring it into rivers or lakes. After working hard for several years, we have seen clean water in rivers and lakes so far.
Thanks to our government, we are lucky and we have a clean, rich and comfortable life. We should have a big dream to look forward to good future and we should try our best to study hard and use our creative abilities to build our country.

7 . Reading books is a useful activity in all our lives.
First, it is an educational hobby. You can keep yourself enjoyable if you like it. Second, you can read a book any where such as on a bus, in a waiting room, in bed or playground. Third, it’s convenient to stop and then begin again at any time. Last, it can open our eyes.
In fact, children need to read more and more books, but they don’t read enough books because many children don’t like reading, and they didn’t know to read a book, either.
In reading books, children need parents and teachers’ help. Parents can read a book with them. And teacher can let children know how to read—what, how and why, and at last understand the meaning of new words and sentences, and write them down at last.

8 . Every home should have its family rules. There is a book about family rules called Rules of Love. It says family rules help to make home a better place. In our family, we tape(粘贴) our rules on the wall of the living room. I got them from a friend six years ago, and these rules help us a lot over the years. We tell our children that the family rules follow them wherever(无论何处) they go. These are not just rules for them to follow at our house.
Rules come in different words. But good rules are all easy to understand. And it is important for the children to remember and follow the rules. So don’t have too many rules for your children. For younger children, parents can use pictures to tell them about the rules. Here are some examples(例子):

Xiao Peng, a 14-year-old Chinese boy, has too many activities. His father takes him away from school sixteen afternoons a month and drives him across the town to practice. “I do most of my homework in the car when we are driving to the practice center, and I have to do the rest (剩余) when I go home. I am too tired and I just want to sleep.” he said.
“More and more kids become unhappy because they have too many activities to do,” said Mr. Wang, an expert of child development. “41% of the children aged 9 — 13 said they felt worried most of the time, and more than 75% of them said that they wished they had more free time to play.”
“Over-scheduling (过量的课时安排) is a growing problem for Chinese families,” said Mr. Wang. It is not good for both kids and their parents. All these family members are always very busy, especially for dinner time. More families have dinner quickly or often have to eat fast food on their way to football practice or music lessons. We all know it is important for kids to learn how to relax. If they don’t learn that now, it will be more difficult to learn when they get older. Kids need time to relax. Parents should think about what is right for kids.

10 . Qomolangma is the third mountain of the Himalkayas, so people call it the Third God Mountain in Tibetan language.
Qomolangma is very famous and it is higher than any other mountain in the world. Its newest height is 8,848.86 meters. At the height of 8,000 meters, there is only 30% O2 and the human body can only stand this height for a few days, so it is dangerous for humans to climb higher. But many climbers want to challenge themselves. As Alan Arnette, a mountain climber from America, said “Climbing mountains drives you to look deep inside yourself, and lets you find out whether you are strong enough in mind when you want to stop.”
It’s a good thing that Qomolangma gives people a chance（机会）to become strong-willed（意志坚强的）when they are trying to achieve their dreams. However, Qomolangma is in danger these years because many people leave their waste behind, such as water bottles and plastic（塑料的）bags. They cause the environmental pollution for Qomolangma. Many animals would die after eating the plastic bags. Luckily, many volunteers from all over the world came to Qornolangma to join in the clean-up activity. A volunteer advised, “Mountain climbing lovers should always take good care of themselves, and at the same time, take good care of Qomolangma.”
