Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. "More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养）pets online, while last year the number was just 10，” said Wang Hui，a middle school student from Beijing, who also raises pets online.
If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的）pets like penguins, chickens, dogs and elephants. You can feed，wash, talk to and play with your pet.
Dai Yingshuang of Shanghai raises pets on KaixinOOl. com. The 15-year-old girl said it is great fun. She thinks that she has also learned how to take care of others.
If one doesn't feed and care for the pet, it becomes unhappy and unhealthy. So raising an online pet means spending a lot of time online.
This makes many parents worried. They fear there will be bad influence in the children's studies.
Dai said that she usually asks her uncle to take care of her pet, while she is at school.
Wang Zhaotong, from Anhui，has been raising a penguin on QQ. com since last year. The 14-year-old girl takes good care of the penguin.
She said her parents knew about the penguin and think it's Okay. If the students can keep the balance between studying and playing, it's not bad for them to “raise” pets online.

The Internet is becoming more and more important in our life. You can get a lot of information, make friends. share your ideas, send emails and chat at any time or anywhere. However, imagine you receive an email that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital(大写) letters? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Cap lock’ on the computer? The fact is, using all capital letters in an email means that people shout online. Virginia Shea’ s book, Netiquette, lists some ways of communicating(交流) properly with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.
◆First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. Don’t write anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. Also, remember that the receiver cannot hear your voice, or see the expression(表情)on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.
◆Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it . Don’t use information that someone else has written, and say it’s yours. Don’t read other people’s email—you wouldn’t open your next –door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail, right? Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. It’s a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.
◆Remember that people judge(判断) you by your words as well as your actions, so do try to write well. Send polite, well-written email messages to others. If you’re not sure about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.
◆It’s OK to share your ideas online like chat rooms or message boards, but don’t argue(争吵) with people . ‘Flame wars’ in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair(不公平) to other members of the group. Share your ideas, but remember that fighting on or offline is just not correct.
When you’re online, just as in ‘real’ life, try to respect (尊重) other people’s space and feelings. Remember, you’re not the only one traveling on this highway!Does it mean shouting if someone writes an email using all capital letters?

For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50oC while it is 27℃ in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city!
China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter.
It isn’t easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings.
People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the worldThe scientists have found .
| A．cities become very hot in summer |
| B．Atlanta is the hottest city in America |
| C．there are not as many storms as before |
| D．it is not as hot on the roof as in the street |
The way to make the city cooler is to .
| A．plant more trees |
| B．try to use air conditioners more |
| C．build more parks and squares |
| D．paint the roofs of all the white buildings |
What will probably happen in the future according to the fourth paragraph(段落)?
| A．Cities won’t grow very fast |
| B．We will not have enough food |
| C．Most people will move to the countryside |
| D．People will plant more trees outside the cities |
What is the best title(题目)for the passage?
| A．More Farmland Is Needed |
| B．Trees Make Cities Cooler |
| C．Cities Are Getting Hotter |
| D．Scientists Are Worried About Storms |
The marathon(马拉松) in my town usually takes place in hot weather. My job was to follow the runners to help those who needed medical help. “We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug.
As it began, the front runners started to disappear(消失). Then I noticed a woman in blue running shorts and a white T-shirt. “ Doug, look!” We knew we were watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in , yet her left knee turned out. Her legs were so crippled(畸形的) that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk. How could she run a marathon？
We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her. Then we would slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. When the finishing line came into sight, we found the cheering people had all gone home. She slowly crossed through the line and lifted her hands, full of happiness.
I do not know the woman’s name, but since that day she has become a part of my life. For her, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult and want to say “I just can’t do it”, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.When does the marathon usually take place in the writer’s town？
| A．In spring. | B．In summer. | C．In autumn. | D．In winter. |
The last runner had problems with her .
| A．head | B．back | C．legs | D．arms |
Why did the woman take part in the marathon?
| A．To win a good prize |
| B．To beat the other runners |
| C．To make friends with others |
| D．To finish what she had decided to do |
