The H1Nl virus has been spreading world-wide，it is important for us to know how to control it．Please pay attention to the following points：
1．Don't touch your face．Above all，keep your hands away from your eyes，mouth and nose，all of which serve pathways(途径) for the viruses(病毒) to enter your body．
2．Wash your hands．If you have to touch your face，wash your hands，getting under the fingernails for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water before．Soaps with surfactants(表面活性剂) can deal with flu viruses．
3．Cover your nose and mouth．When someone sneezes or coughs，liquid(液体) drops with flu viruses as far as three feet through the air and land on your nose and mouth，so it's best to keep at least an arm's length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection(感染)．In order to protect others，cover your mouth and nose with a tissue(纸巾) when you cough or sneeze，and clean your hands afterward．Viruses can live for hours，or even longer when on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards．
4．Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future．Some research suggests that masks reduce the risk of getting the flu viruses by as much as 80%．But it also suggests that if you don't wash hands，the mask doesn't work well．So wash your hands and use the mask，especially wearing face masks in crowded places is also useful．

Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family?
Some women say they need time to be alone.
At Mother's Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks." In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job - taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.
Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don't cook, they don't clean, and they don't look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother's Camp !
| A．Because they have too many friends. |
| B．Because they can't get along well with others. |
| C．Because they are too busy to relax themselves. |
| D．Because they have no time to do some shopping. |
| A．There are no husbands or children. | B．Women spend two days with their families. |
| C．Women can sleep, read or watch TV. | D．Women enjoy walking, swimming or boating. |
| A．Doing chores at home | B．Working outside the house |
| C．When to take a vacation | D．Looking after their children |
| A．almost all the women work outside the home |
| B．husbands do as much housework as their wives at home |
| C．women hate to stay at home with their husbands and children |
| D．working wives do so much housework that they want to get a rest |

Do you know how important it is to have breakfast? A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.
According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more calories (卡路里) in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they burn more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.
The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks (零食) later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips, are usually unhealthy and full of calories.
Another big advantage of eating breakfast is that it helps teenagers do better at school.This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.
What's more, a study in the UK showed that adults (成年人) who eat breakfast daily put on less weight and also perform better at work.
Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that _________.
| A．teenagers should eat something for breakfast |
| B．breakfast helps teenagers do better at school |
| C．breakfast must be healthy with lots of calories |
| D．the energy makes teenagers active the whole day |
Having breakfast daily makes the teenagers _________.
| A．eat fewer snacks | B．pat on more weight |
| C．relax themselves | D．burn less calories |
The passage is mainly about _________.
| A．the importance of snacks | B．how the adults perform at work |
| C．the advantages of having breakfast | D．losing weight without breakfast |
We can probably read this passage in a (an) _________.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device which uses satellites to find the user’s position. It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. 
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates (计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people ______.
| A．can’t be lost in a new city |
| B．can’t find their way in different countries |
| C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place |
| D．can spend the least time getting to another place |
We can learn from the passage that ______.
| A．there are three parts to the GPS |
| B．a GPS can’t be put into a watch |
| C．a GPS can help you start your car |
| D．the GPS are becoming more and more expensive |
The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “______”.
| A．Receivers | B．GPS devices | C．Satellites | D．Ground stations |
The passage is mainly about ______.
| A．the history of the GPS | B．the introduction of the GPS |
| C．the shape of the GPS | D．the three parts of the GPS |
What can we infer(推断) from the passage? ______
| A．All GPS devices have electronic maps. |
| B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free. |
| C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites. |
| D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life. |
What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the building, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤害).
The second floor windows are usually not very high from the ground. An average (普通的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (渗入) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escaping are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely, dropping onto stones might end in injury, bushes and grass can help to break a fall.From the beginning, we know that it is important to______.

Bananas don’t grow on trees. They grow on a stalk that looks just a little like a stalk of corn. The stalk is soft enough to be cut with a knife. 
It takes about a year before bananas are ready to be picked. Some are as small as fingers. Others are as long as men’s arms. Some banana plants grow as tall as a house – even taller!
Not all bananas are eaten as fruit. Some never get sweet, and they are cooked as a kind of vegetable.
People in most countries never see a banana until it reaches the store. But if you visited a country where it’s hot and rains a lot all the year, you might see a banana plantation, a large farm where bananas grow.
The tasty fruit doesn’t come from a seed but from a root planted deep in the ground. First a stalk pushes up into the air. The leaves grow. In the beginning the banana plant grows very fast – sometimes as much as the length of your feet in one night. Soon, sweet-smelling flowers come out, and when their flowers drop off, bananas begin to grow.
As they get bigger, bananas start turning up. It looks as if they’re growing upside down! Bananas are ready to eat when they turn soft and yellow. Bananas are picked long before this – when they’re hard and green. This is because bananas have to travel many miles before they arrive at a store. On trucks and boats and trains bananas travel all over the world. There are special boats just for bananas and special trains that keep them just cool enough so that they will get ripe while traveling. If bananas are picked when they are ripe (成熟的), they will spoil on the way.What’s the weather like in places where bananas grow?
| A．Dry and cold | B．Cold and wet | C．Wet and hot | D．Hot and dry |
The fruit of banana plants come from________.

| A．All bananas are eaten as fruit. |
| B．Some banana plants grow taller than a house. |
| C．Bananas get ripe on their way to the store. |
| D．It takes about a year before bananas are ready to be picked. |
