【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容理解，選擇正確答案。 Why do plants grow in some places but not in others? Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why there are almost no trees or grass in dry deserts.
Plants must also have a place to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built(被建立) on hard land. The plants there have only the soil between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容理解，選擇正確答案。 Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it's chance in a million.
People have made a survey to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black.
As we know, sunlight is formed by seven colored lights. The wavelength of each light is also different, so the quantity(量) of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals(花瓣), are easy to be harmed by high temperature.
Black flowers can take in the light of all the wavelengths that make them dry up because of high temperature, so black flowers can hardly resist(抵抗) sunlight. But red, orange and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting(反射) the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
（1）It is _______ to see a black flower.
A.impossible
B.two fifths
C.Very common

A.black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up
B.there are only eight black flowers in nature

A good book can teach you things beyond your class. It can open your eyes and clear your minds. If you want to get into a good reading habit, there are a number of ways to develop it.

Plan your time

You should give yourself at least thirty minutes in all for reading every day. When time is set, nothing can change it. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast or lunch time.

Always carry a book

Wherever you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, you should always carry a good book as well as your school things. Remember that a book always stays with you.

Find a quiet place

Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. When you read a book, no one will trouble you. There should be no television, computer, music or even noisy family members around you.

Have a library day

Have a library card, and you read as many good books as possible in the library. Make it weekly trip to the library, you can save a lot of money

Blog it

One of the best ways to develop a good reading habit is to put it on your blog．If you don't have one, create one. It's free. Ask your friends and family to go there to share your ideas and offer you suggestions.

Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners.

Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts(健身專家) to lower the risk of injury(受傷) for people who are new to running.

Take it easy.

Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance(里程) or speed.

Get good running shoes.

There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.

Take good notes.

Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.
