People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, a mistake is a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is: “you can’t” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. For example, Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly, because our time and money are limited(有限的)
There is an old saying, “if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn, and grow, and succeed.
小題1:If you are making a mistake, that means__________.
A．you’re carefulB．you’re kind
C．you’re growingD．you know nothing
小題2:If you never try new things, you can’t___________.
A．improveB．createC． spendD．A and B
小題3: After Edison failed 10,000 times, he__________.
A．gave upB．invented the light bulb
C．invented the computerD．invented 10,000 new things
小題4:When you make a mistake, you are closer to___________.
A．timeB．moneyC．successD．new things
小題5: What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Never make mistakes
B．You can make mistakes without thinking
C．Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes
D．Making mistakes is terrible

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.
小題1:The most important points of trees to man is ________.
A．they help him to make money
B．they give him cool
C．they give him wood and other things
D．they help him to stop drought and floods
小題2:In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .
A．many trees have been cut down by man
B．new trees are not well looked after
C．man has not paid enough attention to planting trees
D．a(chǎn)ll the above
小題3:Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .
A．roots of trees break up the soil
B．there are too many rainfalls
C．strong winds bring a lot of sand
D．there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
小題4: Which title best fits the passage?
A．Trees and Man.
B．The Function of Tree Wood.
C．How do People do with Trees?
D．The Usage of Tree Roots.

Yesterday and Today
Life in the twenty-first century will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?

Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates （蒸發(fā)）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles（圓圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.
What to do when a typhoon hits?
Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.
Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now.
小題1:This passage is most probably from               .  
A．a(chǎn)n advertisement of a typhoonB．a(chǎn) travel record
C．a(chǎn) weather report D．a(chǎn) science magazine
小題2:Typhoons often happen               .
A．in the hot seasonB．in the cold seasonC．only in ChinaD．under the sea
小題3:In which order（順序）does a typhoon happen?
a. The wind moves fast enough, a typhoon starts.
b. The air moves quickly, making wind.
c. The sun makes sea water hot.
d. The air gets warmer.
A．d-c-b-aB．c-d-b-aC．c-d-a-bD．d-b-a-c
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.
B．5500 people died because of Typhoon Haiyan around the world.
C．The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the wall of clouds.
D．A typhoon will not happen before the wind goes faster than 30 km a second.
小題5:When a typhoon comes, we CANNOT                .

If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).
　　A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (軌道) than the earth travels.
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?
　   Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.
　　An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.
小題1:A comet is like ________.
A．sunB．moonC．sunlightD．the earth
小題2:A large part of a comet is ______.
A．water and rock
B．water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron
C．ice, iron and rock dust
D．only a few big pieces of rock
小題3:Maybe many people _______.
A．haven’t seen any cometsB．have seen all comets
C．have seen a comet at daytimeD．have seen a comet
小題4:Some comets keep coming back ________.
A．a(chǎn)t any timeB．a(chǎn)t noonC．a(chǎn)t regular timesD．a(chǎn)t daytime
小題5:Halley’s Comets came back _____.
A．in 1990B．in 1980C．in 1986D．in 1989
