A recently study found people’s lives are made shorter in North China. It is showed the life expectancy(平均壽命) had been cut down by 5.5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame(承擔責任). It’s really the truth. Our government has already done something. However, it doesn’t seem to work so well.
“Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health. The harm is much more serious than we can imagine,” said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University, one of researchers of this study.
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year, the air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas(廢氣) from coal heating.
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses, ride bicycles or walk, instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.
“We need to improve our environment, although it might be expensive. Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves,” Li Hongbin, another researcher of the study said.
小題1:The passage above may come from a(n)        ?
A．storyB．a(chǎn)dvertisementC．reportD．diary
小題2:Which of the following is Li Hongbin’s idea?
A．The life expectancy had been cut by 5.5 years.
B．Chinese government should close some factories that pollute heavily.
C．People need to make pollution less, although it might cost a lot.
D．The air problem brings us serious problems.
小題3:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Air pollution in North China is caused by waste gas.
B．To save the environment, our government should do something more.
C．The temperature becomes higher and higher in North China.
D．How air pollution in North China is caused.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(責備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.
小題1:Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.
A．he can’t read or write
B．he doesn’t use his memory
C．his parents haven’t a good memory
D．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time
小題2:If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.
A．you can’t use them any more
B．they will become stronger
C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again
D．they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE ?
A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs
B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice
C．Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory
D．A good memory comes from less practice
小題4:Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.
A．his own faultB．his parents’ fault
C．his teachers’ faultD．his grandmother’s fault
小題5:The writer wants to tell us ________.
