Can you swim? Swimming is one of the most popular activities in summer. It can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn it. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It’s wise to be afraid. The young understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.
When you swim, you should follow certain rules:
★Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, you may get into trouble.
★Don’t go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know it clearly not to swim too far from the bank or the beach.
★Don’t show off your skills by doing dangerous tricks.
★Don't smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body.
★Work at any activity that builds muscles (肌肉).
Little children can learn to swim as soon as _________ .

The writer believes it’s very __________for a child to know the fear of water.

According to the passage, you should not swim alone because     ____.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Do you know why people look the way they look? What inside our bodies makes us grow in a certain way? The answer is DNA. It was first discovered by a young Swiss doctor in 1868.
DNA is like a computer program for your body. Almost every cell(细胞) in your body includes DNA. The way DNA in the cell decides why you are the way you are. For example your friend might have larger ears than you. This is because their DNA is different from yours.
DNA lives in the cell and is ordered in a structure called a “double helix(双螺旋)”. In each double helix there are links called as chromosomes(染色体). These chromosomes are made from four bases that arrange themselves in millions of different ways. The way these bases choose to line up is what makes the DNA code for that cell.
DNA is also called a “gene(基因)”. This is a very interesting thing. Genes are passed down from your parents. That is why you might have the same smile like your dad’s or mom’s!
In February, scientists found the skeleton(骨架) of Richard III, King of England from 1483-1485, under a car park in England. It seems unlikely that scientists could identify a 527-year-old skeleton. However, they matched the skeleton’s DNA to a sample from one of his direct descendants(后代). How amazing!
_______ discovered DNA.
A. A Swiss scientist               B. A Swiss doctor
C. A young student                 D. A Swiss worker
Which of the following is Wrong?
A. DNA is a part of the cell.
B. Different people have different DNA.
C. The chromosomes are made up of four bases.

A tobacconist (烟草商) left the snowy streets of Chicago for a holiday in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and wanted to m     him there the next day. When he reached his hotel and checked in the room that he booked three days a   , he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. But he forgot to keep her e-mail a  in his computer. He looked at the keyboard and tried his best to type it in from m . Unluckily, he m     one letter and his e-mail was sent instead to an elderly farmer's wife. Her h     had passed away only the day before. When the sad wife t    on the computer to check her e-mail, she took one look at the screen, let out a scream, felt so a     and fell to the floor in a dead faint (不省人事). At the sound, her family rushed into the room immediately and s this note on the screen: Dearest wife, I’ve just got checked in. E    is prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

I have lived in France for nine years. but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away, before I open my mouth. Why?
In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal(正式的）in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.
Englishmen think of lunchtime as I pm. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 pm. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience(耐心)!

Mo Yan, a well-known Chinese writer, has got many new admirers after winning the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature. Some people think several Mo’s short stories should be included in the textbooks for middle and high school students. Some people disagree. Here is a discussion: “Should MoYan’s works be included in students’ textbooks?”
Yes! Mo’s short stories are good for students. Students’ textbooks should include the most reason not to choose some for the students’ textbooks. Since Mo Yan won a Nobel Prize, many Chinese people have been the pride of him. His works can influence young people positive(积极地) in literature. So his works should be used.		No! Many of Mo’s works like Red Sorgham(红高粱) can be better understood by adults. Even though Mo Yan has won a Nobel Prize, his works may not be understood well by middle and high school students. Any decision to change the content(内容) of textbooks should be made very carefully. It is premature(草率的) to announce the plan of including Mo’s works so quickly.
