Why should we learn to swim?
Firstly, swimming is a good exercise for our health. Indeed doctors say it is the best exercise, because in swimming all the muscles of the body are used.
Secondly, swimming gives great pleasure. How nice it is, on a hot dusty day in summer, to take off one’s clothes and dive into the cool water of a rive or the sea, and to swim and float until one feels enough.
Thirdly, swimming may sometimes mean all the different between life and death, we never know when we may be in danger from water. We got on a voyage, and the ship in wrecked; we go for a pleasure sail on a lake and the boat turns over; we slip as we are walking along the bank of a river, and half in the water. If we can swim, we have chance for saving our own lives, but if we cannot swim, we are pretty certain to be drowned. So for our own safety, we should learn to swim.
Lastly, if we can swim, we may be able to save other people from drowning. How sad it is to see a friend drowning before our eyes while we cannot help just because we cannot swim.
11.Who says that swimming is the best exercise?  _________.
A. Farmers          B. Dentists     C. Fishermen            D. Doctors
12.When swimming, ________.
A. We don’t move at all                    B. all the muscle of the body are used
C. we move our legs only                D. we drink lots of seawater into our stomach
13.Swimming ­­­­________.
A. gives great pain                     B. gives no pleasure   
C. gives much pleasure                  D. does harm to the body
14.If we can swim, ________.
A. we are no longer humans, but fish         B. we shall be drowned one day
C. we have a chance of saving our own lives   D. we can’t walk any more
15.If we can swim, ________.
A. we may be able to help others from drowning 
B. we can’t save others from drowning
C. it is pretty danger certain that we will get drowned
D. there is a great danger when we fall into the water

I wonder whether there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow in the sky. It is so beautiful.
There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away.
A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow（弓).
That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see a rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds.
Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colour is always red, and the next comes orange, then yellow, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.
小題1:Children like rainbows because          .
A．they are beautiful
B．they are like bows
C．they can find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
D．they are good to crops
小題2:We cannot feel          with our hands.
A．a(chǎn) pot of gold B．a(chǎn) flower C．a(chǎn) rainbow D．a(chǎn) raindrop
小題3:We can see a rainbow          .
A．when it is raining heavily
B．when it is snowing
C．when it is cloudy
D．when it is becomes fine shortly after raining
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．A rainbow is like bow.
B．A rainbow is the effect of light shining on raindrops.
C．Every rainbow has different colours in different orders.
D．A rainbow is one of the wonders of nature.

Hip hop or rap (說(shuō)唱) music started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s. People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.
Rapping in class.
Would you like to rap in class? Well, actually hip pop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school program called “Flocabulary” in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects. The words of the songs are just what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the good results it has had on exam marks. Mr. Lee, a teacher in a high school, said, “I’ve used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history! You can’t imagine how well they remember what I teach! We even try to write our own songs.”
Whose idea was Flocabulary?
Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word “Flocabulary” comes from the word “flow” and “vocabulary”. “Flow” is a rap word for “style”, or the way a rapper says the words of a song. “Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily. So, why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math, science and literature (文學(xué)). They are now used in schools with great success.
小題1: Rap music started ______ in the New York City in the 1970s.
A．in a high schoolB．in a music class

小題2:From the passage, we can learn “Flocabulary” is a program to ______.

Is it a tree? Is it a bear? If you’re looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it’s a topiary(林木雕塑). A topiary is a tree or a bush(灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden takes both time and skills.
A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the final shape that the gardener likes. The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that just planted or one that is already in place.
In June of the plant’s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it’s time to shape(給……造型) the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.
Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In the summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In the winter the bushes don’t grow. The gardeners have to brush snow of the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.
Topiary gardening is very old art. The Romans did it in the first Century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe like topiaries too. By the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it’s popular in many parts of the world.
小題1: Put the following in the right order according to the passage.
a. The gardener chooses a bush for the topiary.
b. The whole bush grows tall enough for shaping.
c. The gardener begins to shape the bottom of the bush.
d. The gardener draws the shape of a topiary.
A．d→a→b→cB．b→c→a→dC．a(chǎn)→d→c→bD．d→a→c→b
小題2:In which part of the world did the topiary gardening begin first?
A．In Rome.B．In Europe.C．In America.D．In Africa.
