Other activities,     most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping,   .  _ jumping from tall buildings and      into the sea from the top of high rocks.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in   society has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly in    .They had to go out and hunt for       , and life was a continuous battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers   excitement They live and work in relatively safe condition; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and nurses to       them if they become ill, The answer for some of these people is t0     danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

There is an English saying that goes, “ He who laughs last laughs the hardest.”  High School Musical star and teen heartthrob Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.
As a young boy, Efron was picked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased（取笑） because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron’s basketball team made it to the league championships.  In  double  overtime (加时赛) , with  three seconds Left,  he rebounded the ball and passed it to the wrong team!  They scored and his team lost the game.
 But history ,as they say, is a thing of the past. Now at 21, Efron is one of People magazine’s l00 Most Beautiful People, graces（使增加光彩）the cover of  Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood’s most influential magazine, and is travelling the world promoting the third High School Musical film Director Adam Shankman  described Efron as “arguably biggest teen star in America right now”． Simply google “Zac  Efron” and you get more than 14 million responses. Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.
Efron was born and raised in California. He took school seriously. He would flip out(发疯) if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown  It was his father who encouraged him to act. He took part in school performances and with a local theatre group, He also took singing lessons. He graduated high school in 2006 and was accepted by the University of Southem California to study film But he deferred（延缓） because he anted to know why to study movies and when could star in them.
Now he has signed on to Sin the romantic comedy Seventeen Again and to play in the remake of the hugely popular movie, Footloose. Efron is  also earning more  than $ 3  million for his role in High School Musical 3 , not bad for a 21-year-old youth. But Efron still remembers those bullies(侮辱，威胁).
“You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire,” Efron said. ‘Also, when you get made fun of, when people point out your weaknesses, it’s an opportunity for you to rise above.”
Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business. And he can now laugh all the way to the bank.
How do you understand the underlined sentence “But history, as  they  say, is  a  thing of  the  past. “  in Paragraph 3?

What did Zac Efron do when he was laughed at?

What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many
Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place
Costa Rica, which means "rich coast" in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee
is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries
like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country's second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa
Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education
is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate
(单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the
year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
What's the main idea of the first paragraph?

The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.

In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.

From December to February, school children in Costa Rica______.

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850—1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City ”, almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth－century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard's idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside, far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit—Howard suggested 32, 000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?

The underlined phrase “drawing on” in Paragraph 1 probably means     .

According to Howard, garden cities should be built     .

What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?

What could be the best title for the passage?

   It's time to be water efficient!
As populations increase across Australia and the rest of the world, demand for water will also increase. If we don’t reduce each individual’s demand for water (both directly and through embodied water) the water situation will become dire.
It is obvious that we cannot increase demands for water much more without detrimental(有害的) effects to the environment, society and the economy.
It’s all too easy to blame someone else for the water situation –“if 70% of water is used for agriculture then that’s what we should target” – but it’s not that easy. We all depend on the food and resources that agriculture provides, and while there are definitely opportunities to increase water efficiency on the farm, the solution will take more than that.
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm, … everyone, everywhere, every time.
It's time to become water efficient! This involves reassessing our relationship with water, and learning to use it more sparingly. On the most basic level, it requires a behavioural（行动的） change, and assigning a value to water that truly reflects its worth.
We can also unlock economic benefits of being water efficient. There are many real world examples given in the case studies on this site.
Everybody has a responsibility to save water, if future generations are to enjoy a similar standard of living to the one we enjoy now. In fact, many of the impacts associated with water use are likely to have an effect on our own lives!
www.savewater.com.au has been designed to help you respond to the challenge to become water efficient. It acts as a central repository for relevant information and further advice, so that you can actually achieve significant savings. It also showcases those companies with products that will assist you in your goal.

What can we do to save water?

What is not the reason to save water?
