Running away is a serious problem．There are lots of runaway and homeless kids living in the streets around the world．
孩子们为什么想离家出走呢？
★Some kids run away because they have problems with their families．
★Some kids run away because they're afraid to tell their parents the bad things that they did at school or in society．
★Some kids run away because there is violence（暴力）in the family．
★Some kids run away because their parents divorce（离婚）or marry again．
★Some kids run away because they have problems at school．
What will you do if your friend wants to run away from home？
If your friend is thinking about running away，tell him or her that it is difficult to survive（幸存）in the streets．Try to help your friend feel less alone．
Whatever the problem is，there are other ways to solve it．Maybe you can't think of the ways right now，but an adult（成年人）will know how to help you．You should tell an adult that your friend plans to run away as soon as possible．Being a real friend doesn't mean keeping a secret that may hurt someone．And running away isn't a solution（解决方法）for either of you．It only makes more problems and danger．

How can we protect the Earth？ One problem to solve is climate（气候）change． You might wonder about climate change． What is it， exactly？
Gases surround the Earth．（1） Sunlight passes down through the gases． The gases trap（储存）the sun's heat and act like blanket． Without these gases， the Earth would be very cold． The trouble comes when humans add too many gases to the atmosphere．The gases build up and trap even more heat．This causes changes in climate． The Earth becomes too warm．
（2） There's another gas causing climate change． No one talks about it as much． It is nitrous oxide（氧化亚氮）． Many call it laughing gas． Dentists may give patients nitrous oxide so they will not feel pain． The atmosphere has small amounts of nitrous oxide． But nitrous oxide can stay in the atmosphere more than 100 years which can change the climate a lot．
Nitrous oxide forms naturally． （3） Bacteria are living organisms（生物）made of single cells． Farmers use nitrogen fertilizer（氮肥）to help grow bigger crops． The bacteria in the soil take the nitrogen from the fertilizer and make more nitrous oxide with it．
So how can we help？ "Number one is to not waste food，" Wagner Riddle， a scientist from Canada， said． （4） That number comes from a U． S． university study． "There is a lot that goes into making food"， Wagner Riddle says． "So then if it's wasted， it's for nothing．"
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填人文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项．
A． That's the reason for climate change．
B． It comes from bacteria（细菌）that live in the dirt．
C． Carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）is one gas that traps heat．
D． More than one﹣third of all food created in the U． S． is wasted．
E． These gases reach high into the sky and are called the atmosphere（大气层）．

We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day． Forty﹣five percent exercise four to six times a week． Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week．（2）
We all know that many students often go online， but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day． The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week．Most students use it for fun and not for homework．
（3） Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week．Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week．And eighty﹣five percent watch TV every day!Although many students like to watch sports， game shows are the most popular．
It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows， （4） It is healthy for the mind and the body． Exercise such as playing sports is fun， and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together． And remember， "Old habits die hard．"（5）

In the middle of my home country there are very large places．They are hot and dry land called deserts．（46） Families live a long way from other people．Sometimes they are the only people for
thousands of kilometres．（47）
About 65 years ago these people found that using strong radios was a possible way for families living
far away to communicate with each other．They decided they could use the radios for school．In this way，children could talk to each other like at school．（48）
The children each spent about 30 minutes a day on the radio．They talked to their teacher about their
work and difficulties．The teacher designed some exercises and tasks based on what they learned and posted them to the children．After finishing their work，the children sent it back to their teacher to mark．（49） He tried to visit each child twice each year．This was sometimes difficult．The journey was
very long and could be dangerous．In addition，the school held camps once a year．The children could
all meet each other and shared their learning experience．
（50） The government provides families with computers so that the children can use the Internet to talk to their teachers and classmates by e﹣mail now．The teachers enjoy their work very much because they get to know the children and their families very well．It is an interesting way to learn，don't you
think？
A．The teacher also travelled around the country．
B．All over the deserts are farms and small towns．
C．This was how the first"School of the Air"started．
D．This families'children cannot go to school like you．

（2） ．She said， "So， you failed a test． But do you know about another test that is even more important？"
"What is it？" I looked at my mother， puzzled．
"It is whether or not you can learn from your mistake，" my mom continued． "（3） ．To me， that is more important than what you scored on a test．"

Winston Churchill once said， "We make a living by what we get， but we make a life by what we give．" These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with．
In the US， April is National Volunteer Month， to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time，talent， and support to what they care about．
（1） People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about． For example， animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals．
Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people， try out new skills and explore career choices．（2）
Take Andrew Makhoul， a student at the University of Pennsylvania， as an example． Andrew didn't spend his last spring break relaxing． Instead， the 19﹣year﹣old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself．He travelled to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Guatemala in Central America． （3） And it depends on volunteers to stay open．
Andrew doesn't speak much Spanish，but he found communication wasn't a problem，"You communicated with love，"according to an article on his university's website．And what he gave out，he got back，"
（4） " Andrew's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week， but by the end of that week， he knew he'd be back soon﹣ because he saw love and hope．
US author Sherry Anderson once wrote，"（5） " And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do﹣ their work is "priceless"．

I wish there would be a way to describe China in a simple word but that's impossible．
▲（1） In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live， most students told me they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents．
▲（2） I teach in Xiangyang， a beautiful city which the Hanjiang River goes across it and I live here better． The foods are cheaper than those in the US， so are clothing and articles（物品） of everyday us． People pay less for the public transportation， too．
▲（3） However， it is reported that still there are a few children who can't afford the expenses（费用） of schooling． But the government organized Project Hope many years ago． It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school．
▲（4） I seldom saw the things mentioned of the creative（有创造力的） changes China has made． But the economic miracles（经济奇迹） have the big problems．
▲（5） To be honest， if I compare China with the US， my answer has always been the same： "We are not worse or better than each other； we are only different． "
A． It's a tradition to value education in China． B． I realize that family is everything in China． C． I am often asked which country I consider better． D． You'll not know China unless you go closer to it． E． I was used to reading the news of China in the US． F． The cost of living here isn't as high as that in the US． |
We should not use more water than we actually need． If we do， we will not have enough water in the future． （1） It is not a difficult question to answer． If we remove more fresh water than nature replaces， we have taken too much．
Many cities run campaigns（运动）to get people to stop wasting water． They show them ways they can cut back on water use． （2） What's more， they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use． For example， they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water． （3）
Another threat（威胁）to our water supply is pollution． When our sources of fresh water get polluted， we can no longer use this water． This also endangers（危及） the animals that depend on the water．
（4） We can save lots of water by not letting taps（水龙头） run while we brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands． By collecting cold water when were taking warm showers， we can also save water． （5） In this way， we can make full use of water．

Thousands of years ago， people had to hunt for food． They lived in caves and needed fire to keep warm．（1） ．
We don't know why they drew the pictures． They had to go deep into the cave to do it ， so they must have had a plan． They probably took a fire made of fat with them．（2） ． Others think the spears（长矛） in the pictures mean they were teaching other people to hunt．
For paint，they mixed animal fat with some different things such as dirt or berries（浆果）．（3） Some of the drawings are colorful and others are black from the burned end of a stick．
These people drew what they saw around them﹣animals such as buffalo， deer， horse， and sometimes birds and fish（4） ．
The pictures are quite good． The buffalo look strong and powerful． Many of the horses and deer look beautiful．
These drawings have been found in more than 130 caves ﹣﹣﹣﹣mostly in England and France（5） ． It is interesting to look at such old drawings．
A． They drew people ， but no very often． B． Maybe there are more that we haven't found yet． C． Some of them drew pictures on the walls of their caves． D． They used sticks to brush the paint onto walls on the cave． E． Maybe they drew the pictures to bring good luck when they hunted． |

On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the back yard． At once I rushed out to the yard． There was my bike， but it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be． This one was pink， old and worn with age． It was so disappointing!

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell．（1） In fact， an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognised（认定）as the inventor a few years ago． Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time？
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808． He studied engineering and drawing． During his studies， Meucci started to experiment with electricity． （2） When two places were connected with wire， people in those places could hear each other talk．

Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention． They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires．
（4） Even worse， Meucci never applied for a patent （专利） on his invention．Meanwhile， Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him．
In 2002， more than a century after Meucci's death， his work was finally recognised by the government． （5）
A． He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables． B． However， he wasn' t the first person to think of the idea． C． Unfortunately， only a few people attended this talk． D． He will now be known all over the world as the telephone's inventor． E． He needed to keep in touch with her at all times． |

How important is music？ Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important． It is often considered only as fun， but not the first choice for education． This opinion is wrong． （52）
（53） Music shows people's thinking and ideas， and the social environment it came from． just as Mozart music is a lifestyle， rock music is also a lifestyle． George Gershwin's music is another example． He introduced jazz style into his music．
（54） Science explains how the sun rises and sets． Music studies the emotive（情感的） meanings． Such as sadness and happiness． People need every possible way to learn about our world．
Music shows people's thought． It is a special language． We can "talk" to each other and exchange our thoughts， ideas and hopes． All of these can be shared with others． When we do not let our children receive a good music education， we take them away from the meaning s that music expresses． Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives． （55） ．
A．Music makes our lives colorful
B．So music education is necessary for all students
C． Music tells us who we are．
D． In fact， music education is necessary and important for all students．
