The rockets take astronauts and man﹣made satellites（卫星）into space． The satellites are used for communication， weather checking and research．But how do satellites stay up without falling down？

    There are two opposite forces influencing the satellite． One of them is the force of gravitation（地心引力） ， which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth and is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away．The other force is created by the turning of the satellite around the earth． This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth． With these two forces， the satellite goes round and round．

    Everything that goes up has to come down． It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth．As time goes by，the satellite loses its speed， which makes the force pulling it towards the earth stronger than the force pulling it away． This makes the satellite fall down to the earth．

判断文章后面的问题，正确的答案写T，错误的答案写F．

（1）Two same forces have an influence on the satellite．　　

（2）The force created by the turning keeps the satellite from flying away．　　

（3）Two opposite forces make the satellite turn round and round．　　

（4）The satellite will stay in space forever．

    Conclusion All of your online habits can be recorded．Studying people's online habits is big business．Your personal information is very valuable to companies． That is how they know who to send their advertisements to． The Internet reaches almost every corner of the world， but the danger is that your personal information might travel that far， too．

Dogs can be good helpers to humans and what about monkeys？ They can do a great job，too． Monkeys can help disabled （有残疾的） people live a better life just as dogs do．

    Like dogs，monkeys need lots of training to be human helpers． One difference is that monkeys live larger than does do． This means that a monkey's " childhood" is also longer than a dog's．So it may take them four to six years before they are ready to begin training．It's said that it is almost as much work a raising a young child!

    After monkeys begin training，they usually take about a year to learn enough tasks to be good helper． One important thing that they need to learn is how to follow commands（命令）．

    For example， if a person wants to have the lights turned on， he or she might give the command "sun"．As the monkeys get better at completing their tasks，they learn new and more difficult ones． Some monkeys can even learn how to use a computer!

（1）Both dogs and monkeys need lots of training before they can help humans．　　

A． Right．

B． Wrong．

（2）Dogs are ready to begin training when they are 4 to 6 years old．

   Antarctica （南极洲） is at the southern end of the Earth． It is the coldest， driest and windiest place on our planet． What would it be like to live and work there？

    On Oct 15， 50 Chinese researchers took a ship named Xuelong 2 from Shenzhen to Antarctica． Xuelong 2 is the first icebreaker （破冰船） made in China． It took two years to build Xuelong 2． It is reported that Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers．

    Chinese researchers have been to Antarctica 35 times． Because of its unusual environment， researchers from around the world have been going there to do study （研究） for many years． Some studies can only be done in Antarctica． For example， there is little air pollution there． This makes it easier for scientists to study the weather， atmosphere （大气） and stars．

    The study of Antarctica's geology （地质） is also important． Rocks in Antarctica can tell us what the weather was like long time ago， and help us understand how the Earth has changed over time． There are also many wild animals， such as penguins （企鹅），seals （海豹） and birds． Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them．

    Xie Zhouqing is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China． He was part of China's 15th research trip to Antarctica． He said， "Life in Antarctica is not easy．It is tiring and sometimes dangerous， but it is still quite fun．" He also said，"I studied how penguins walk， what they eat， and why they move from one place to another． I was excited to see the cute animals playing around． I hope my studies can help protect them．"

Misunderstandings

       A man，wearing dirty clothes，with dirty hair and only 35 cents in his pocket，got on a bus and headed straight for the restroom．He thought that if he hid in the restroom，he could ride to New York without paying．But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him．She tapped （拍）the person in front of her on the shoulder and said， "There's a bum in the restroom．Tell the bus driver．"That passenger tapped the person sitting in front of him．" Tell the bus driver there's bum in the restroom，"he said．

       The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus． But somewhere along the way，the message changed．By the time it reached the bus driver，it was not "There's a bum in the restroom"but"There's a bomb（炸弹）in the restroom．"The driver pulled over to the side of the highway（高速公路）at once and called the police．When the police arrived，they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far away． Then they closed the highway．That soon caused a 15﹣mile﹣long traffic jam．With the help of a dog，the police searched the bus for two hours．Of course，they found no bomb．

       Two similar﹣sounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland，California． His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles．He thought he heard his flight announced，so he walked to the gate， showed his ticket，and got on the plane．Twenty minutes after take﹣off，the man began to worry．Oakland was north of Los Angeles，but the plane seemed to be heading west， and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean．"Is this plane going to Oakland？" he asked the flight attendant． "No，she said．"We're going to Auckland﹣ Auckland， New Zealand．"

       Because so many English words sound similar， misunderstandings among English﹣speaking people are not uncommon．Most misunderstandings are much less serious．Every day， people speaking English ask one another questions like these： "Did you say seventy or seventeen？""Did you say that you can come or that you can't？"

       Similar﹣sounding words can be especially confusing （混淆） for people who speak English as a second language．When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning， her boss asked her，"Did you get a plate？""No…，"she answered，wondering what in the world he meant．She worked in an office． Why did the boss ask her about a plate？All day she wondered about her boss's strange question，but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it． At five o'clock，when she was getting ready to go home，her boss said，"Please be on time tomorrow． You were 15 minutes late this morning．""Sorry， " she said． "My car wouldn't start， and…" Suddenly she stopped talking and began to smile．Now she understood． Her boss hadn't asked her， "Did you get a plate？ "He had asked her， "Did you get up late？"

       Auckland and Oakland．"A plate"and"up late"． When similar﹣sounding words cause a misunderstanding，probably the best thing to do is just to laugh and learn from the mistake． Of course，sometimes it's hard to laugh．The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing． But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end．The airline paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his night back to California． "Oh well， "the man later said．"I always wanted to see New Zealand．"

A表示正确，B表示错误

（1）A man got on the bus and hid in the bus restroom with a bomb．　　

（2）The 15﹣mile﹣long traffic jam was caused by the man in the restroom．　　

（3）The man who traveled to New Zealand actually wanted to fly to California　　

（4）The boss of the Korean woman asked her if she had got a plate that day．　　

（5）Misunderstandings happen sometimes because of the similar﹣sounding words．

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes？ You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing． Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss（听力丧失）， because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time． Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing．

    The United Nations has standards for safe listening． It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB （分贝） for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes．The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB．

    Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear． Most of us are born with about 16，000 hair cells（听毛细胞） in our inner ears． These cells notice sounds． However， listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die． This is what causes hearing loss Once this happens， it's hard to get your hearing back．

    Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud． But this can depend on where you are． For example， if you are in a noisy place like the subway， you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it． Later， when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place， you might feel uncomfortable．

    The "safe level" for most sound is below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week． a level of 80 dB is about equal to（相当于） the noise of a subway．

    Here is some advice on safe listening． Over﹣the﹣ ear headphones（头戴式耳机） are better than in﹣ear ones． They do a better job of stopping outside noise， so you can listen at a lower volume．Don't listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time． Follow the 60： 60 rule： listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones' maximum volume for no more than 60 minutes a day．

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误．正确的用"A表示，不正确的用"B"表示．

（1）It is safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 100 dB for 15 minutes．　　

（2）Listening to loud noise for a long time can cause some hair cells in the inner ear to die．　　

（3）From the fourth paragraph， we know people don't always realize how loud their music is．　　

（4）In﹣ear headphones are better than over﹣the﹣ear ones because they can stop more outside noise．　　

（5）This article mainly tells us why ears are an important part of our bodies．　　

Do you like animals？ Do you want to work with them？ If your answer is "yes"， you might be interested in the job of a vet．

    A vet is an animal doctor． There are over 60， 000 vets in the US． Some take care of pets like dogs， cats and birds． Some care for farm animals like horses and cows． Some work in zoos and they work with elephants， tigers， lions， pandas and so on．

    It's difficult to become a vet in the US． Besides the love for animals， one has to study really hard． He must first finish college， and then go to the veterinary（兽医的）school for four years' study． Working as a vet is not easy， either． They often work long hours， but many vets say that their job is exciting and fun．

    Jane is a vet working in New York． "I work 10 hours a day． It's long？ I just feel the time flies so fast when I'm working． I always think I have the best job ever， "she say．

The Garbage （垃圾） Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973． Since then， the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities．

    To study the garbage， the students had to travel to landfills （填埋场） ， the places where cities bury （填埋） their garbage． While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes． Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage．

    One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly． That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly． Even in cities where it rains a lot， the students found newspapers from 1948， 40﹣year﹣old hot dogs， and vegetables from 1970． And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected．

    How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is： regular（普通的） garbage， dangerous materials， or recyclable materials， such as newspapers and glass bottles． Regular garbage goes to regular landfills． Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment． They shouldn't go into regular landfills．

    Homes are full of dangerous waste． One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries． When batteries are buried directly（直接地）in a landfill， they often break open． The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill． Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground．

    Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil． When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage， it pollutes the environment．

    Our garbage problem is not new， but as the world's population continues to grow， it will become a bigger and bigger problem．

（1）The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in　　．

A． 1973

B． 1970

C． 1948

D． 1940

（2）To study the modern garbage， the students had to do many things except　　．

A． Wearing special clothes

B． traveling to landfills

C． burying the garbage themselves

D． opening bags of garbage

（3）The underlined words "dispose of" in Paragraph 4 means　　．

A． crash into

B． deal with

C． worry about

D． put up

（4）From the article， we know old motor oil　　．

A． should go to regular landfills

B． isn't harmful garbage

C． mustn't be poured on the ground

    Bangladesh（孟加拉） is an agricultural country between India and Burma． Storms from the Indian Ocean sweep across the country every year， and large areas of farming land are flooded（冲毁）． The people are very poor．

    Fewer than half of the country's children complete their primary education． When they are six or seven years old， many children leave school to work in the fields or at home． The rest of their "education" consists of looking after cattle， collecting firewood or doing household jobs．

    Not long ago， an experimental school was opened near the capital， Dacca， to help poor children． There are only 120 children in the school， which has three classrooms． In each class， forty pupils are divided into four groups of ten． Each pupil is free to decide which group he or she wants to join．

    The most able pupils do a great deal of the teaching． They act as group monitors． Their duty is to ensure that all pupils in their group understand and practice what the teacher has taught．

    There are a number of unusual features in the Bangladesh school． Children do not move up a class automatically when they grow older． Each group is promoted （升级）only when EVERY pupil in it has succeeded in getting to the right standard． As a result， all members of a group work hard to help the less able pupils． Nobody is left behind．

    Lessons are extremely practical and include work on farming， carpentry， health and running a home﹣as well as lessons on the basic skills of reading， writing and arithmetic． At school， pupils prepare for adult life by learning to carry out almost all the tasks which they will face when they grow older．

    If pupils have to look after cattle or young children， they are allowed to bring them to school． If a child has to stay at home to help his parents， there is no scolding or punishment （责罚） at school． Children enjoy their lessons and the school is cheap to run． It is so successful that other schools in Bangladesh are beginning to imitate（模仿） its methods．

    Visitors are even coming from other agricultural countries to see if they can use a similar method．

（1）Many people in Bangladesh work on farms．　　

（2）Most children in Bangladesh complete their primary education．　　

（3）In each group， the biggest or oldest pupil is made a monitor．　　

（4）At the end of each school year， all the pupils move to a higher class．　　

（5）At school， pupils learn to do almost all the tasks needed in adult life．

    Sometimes people cry when they are sad． Other times people cry tears of joy． But your eyes make tears all the time， whether you are crying or not． Do you know the tears help keep your eyes healthy？ They keep your eyes from drying out． A special area of the eye drips （滴） all the time． It keeps the eye humid．

    If you look in a mirror， you can see tiny holes in the corners of your eyes． Each hole leads to a small tube that runs to your nose． Tears run slowly into this tube drip by drip． Day and night the holes drain （流走） the tears away． If they didn't， you would always look as if you were crying．

    If you begin to cry， there are many more tears． The holes can't drain all of them． Then extra tears run out onto your face．

    Tears help keep eyes safe． If there is something harmful in the air， the eyes fill with tears． These tears coat your eyes． They keep the harmful air out．

    Contact lenses （隐形眼镜） can make the eyes too dry． Some people have to add tears to their eyes．

They buy bottles of eye drops to keep their eyes wet．

（2）When you cry， tears run into your nose or onto your face．　　

（3）If there is something harmful in the air， tears protect your eyes by covering them．
