1. Where are the rainforests?
Rainforests cover six per cent of the Earth’s surface. There are rainforests in many parts of the world but the biggest forests are in South America, Africa and South East Asia. There aren’t any rainforests in Europe or North America.
2. What’s in the rainforests?
About 75% of all the types of animals that we know come from rainforests. Thousands and thousands of animals live in rainforests. There are many very beautiful birds, insects and  reptiles. Many of them live in the trees, more than 30 metres from the ground. There are also thousands of different plants—and lots of tall trees! It is always hot in a rainforest and
the ground is always wet. It is also dark.
3. Why are the rainforests important?
The rainforests are very important for us. We need them! The trees and other plants in the forest help to make the air that we breathe. They give us wood, rubber, fruits and many of our medicines.
4.    
Unfortunately, in many places, the rainforests are in danger. For example, many years ago there was a large rainforest in Java. There were thousands of different plants and animals in the forest, but now there is nothing. People chopped down the trees because they wanted to grow rice. Many animals lived in the rainforest. Some of them went to other parts of Java but many of them disappeared — forever. The same thing is happening now in many other parts of the world. The rainforests are in danger.
小題1:In which of the following places can we find rainforests according to Paragraph 1?
A. In the UK.   B. In Asia. C. In the USA.  D. In France.
小題2:Which of the following belongs to a kind of “reptile”?

A．What’s happening to the rainforests?
B．What can we find in the rainforests in Java?
C．Why did people chop down the trees in the rainforests?
D．Why did many plants and animals disappear in the rainforests?
小題4:What is the writer’s purpose of writing the article?
A．To tell us how to survive in the rainforests.
B．To help us know some living things in the rainforests.
C．To tell us to care about the protection of the rainforests.
D．To give us advice on how to make full use of the rainforests.

小題1:B

小題3:A
小題4:C
短文屬于說明文。短文對雨林的分布，所包含的動植物的種類，它的重要性，以及它的危險狀況等等做了介紹。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。從Paragraph 1“Therearen’tany rainforests in EuropeorNorthAmerica.” 這句得知歐洲和北美沒有雨林，因此排除A、D、C三個選項。
小題2:推理判斷題。從Paragraph 2“Therearemanyverybeautifulbirds,insectsand  reptiles.”這句中得知reptiles與鳥、昆蟲并列，可以推測出它不包括這兩類；而sparrow “麻雀”swallow“燕子”都是屬于鳥，butterfly“蝴蝶”屬于昆蟲，因此這三項應排除。
小題3:綜合理解題。Paragraph 4主要講“therainforestsareindanger”，比如，面積在減少，動植物絕跡等等。A項最符合本段的中心意思。
小題4:主旨大意題。本文從雨林的重要性講到它面臨的危機，旨在告訴大家給予保護。

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future we will use computers in everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. People will use the Internet to play games, see films and buy food.

Information is received into our brain by attention, and its quality determines (決定) how well it will be processed, saved and used afterwards.
All information we receive is chosen by our attention. Factors (因素) affecting (影響) our attention are personal interest, experience, ability, feelings, knowledge, environment, timing, and so on. The same information may attract different forms and levels of attention from different people. Some people can get and save the information easily; some may have great difficulty; while others may just turn a blind eye to it. To the same information, one may even pay different levels of attention at different times. But if the facts work together, the quality of attention may be better. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that somebody with average intelligence (智力) can have excellent performances in some fields.
The good news is that a person's attention can be shaped, trained and made stronger by effective exercise. With this in mind, we should keep improving the quality of our attention.

More than a hundred years ago, an American produced (創(chuàng)造) a game. He called it indoor tennis. The Americans were not interested in it at first so he sent it to his London friends and it became very popular (流行) in Britain. The game was then played across the dining-room table or on the floor with the net hung between two chairs. In the early days ，the balls were made of cork (軟木) or rubber. The bats(球拍) were made of wood.
A few years later a hollow (空心) ball like the one we use today was invented. The game then quickly spread all over the world. An Englishman once made a bat covered with rubber.

I think people should do more things online from home. Why pollute the air by driving your car to the supermarket, when you can order your weekly shopping on the Internet~ You can also book holidays as well.                    
                                               Posted by Billy on June 1 lth 7:36 am
I try to use public transportation whenever I can. I take the bus to college and walk home. When my mum wants to give me a lift, I always refuse, as I can get there quickly by bus. Also the buses in my town are electric so they are environmentally friendly!

Why not use two wheels? Any motorcycle will use less fuel (燃料)an a car. You don't get caught in traffic jams either. But in my opinion, the best thing is a bicycle. They don't produce any pollution and help you to keep fit at the same time.
