This is a true story in Guyana. One day, a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldn’t get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell. So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod（钢棒）into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out. The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.
Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes. “Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!” As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose. He gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.

Who is reading your blogs or checking out your information online? Two reports show that surfing the Internet and sending personal information to people you do not know could be a problem.
Most sites give users their own webspace where they can write their diaries or post their pictures. The sites encourage users to get their friends to look at their work and to comment（评论）on what are posted on the sites.
Teachers are worried that some children are posting their personal information on websites. This could put them at risk from those who plan to do harm to young people. Teachers are also worried some users think it is OK to use the websites in a way that could get others into trouble.
In a school in Illinois（伊利诺斯州）in the US where some popular sites are used wildly, the school would punish（惩罚）students who posted pictures or information about smoking , drinking and other illegal（违法的）activities on the websites.
The school is now going to encourage its 3,200 students to obey a new rule. The warning is clear. That is, be careful when posting information about yourself such as your age, sex, address and interests on a website that anyone can see.
Another warning about the Internet comes from a report. It shows searchers are leading users to websites that show them spam（垃圾短信）and other dangerous downloads.The words “ free screen savers” were found to be the most dangerous words that people search for.
It is well-known that visiting sites offering free MP3s leave users at serious risk. Spyware（监控软件）should be installed on their computers. So, happy surfing ,but remember not to get caught in the Net!What kinds of pictures or information are not allowed on the websites in a school in Illinois?
| A．Smoking , drinking and exercising. |
| B．Drinking, fighting and playing. |
| C．Smoking, drinking and fighting. |
| D．Chatting, watching and smoking. |
What does the underlined phrase “screen savers” in the sixth paragraph mean?
| A．The program of hurting screens. |
| B．The program of protecting screens |
| C．The program of using screens less. |
| D．The person who uses screens less. |
How do the users avoid the danger of downloading information?
| A．By using spyware. | B．By not going online. |
| C．By getting others into trouble. | D．By being happy. |
What’s the best title of this passage?
| A．Happy but safe surfing. | B．Don’t comment on the Internet. |
| C．Warning about downloads. | D．Activities on the websites. |
Researchers have announced（宣布）the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin（阿斯匹林）. One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack（心脏病）.
The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.
Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. It included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of fifty and eighty-four. Almost 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless（无害的）pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.
The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.
The researchers said the doctors’ study provided clear proof（证据）that taking aspirin could prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said, however, the result did not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who did not eat healthy foods, who smoked cigarettes and who were fat. The researchers said men who thought they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.The passage tells us that the new use of aspirin is ______.
| A．to treat heart disease |
| B．to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attack |
| C．to help old people to be more healthy |
| D．to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men |
Aspirin can help those who ______.
| A．work as doctors | B．are under 40 years old |
| C．are fat and smoke cigarettes | D．are older and healthy |
At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin ______.
| A．with care | B．as much as we like |
| C．every day | D．only considering the age |
From the experiment we can know that about ______ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died.
| A．7% | B．11% | C．19% | D．44% |
One midnight, a little girl woke up to get water. She got up and down her bed by herself, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the living room that she feared. Her mother told her not to be afraid and take courage.
“ What is courage? Do you have courage?” She asked, running to her mother’s bed. “ Courage is the brave breath（气）. I have it.” Her mother answered. The girl held out her little hands and asked her mother to give her. After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists（握拳）nervousely, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “ It’ll be nice if someone can blow some kind of breath to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence“How do you do? ” for example, if you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation(翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples. ” “Only she likes apples. ”
“I have seen the film already. ” “I have already seen the film. ”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does. From the passage we know that _______ when we are learning English.
| A．we shouldn’t put every word into our own language |
