　　Mails, games, music, news, chat rooms(聊天室) and shopping! The Internet is part of the way we live today. It's easy to get onto the Internet. The only thing we need to do is to use a modem which is used for connecting a computer to a telephone line. The Internet is changing and growing all the time.

The Web(網(wǎng)) has large numbers of websites(網(wǎng)站) in it. They are the places you go to get information and do things.

　　Where do these websites come from? They are made by web designers(設(shè)計(jì)師). What happens when you click on a word or a picture? You are sent to another page. It's all because of the web designer. Web designers do a lot of work by using a computer programming(程序編輯) language.

　　Is Web design all about computer programming? No. It's about making something new. Web designers must imagine a lot when they are making a website. It must look good and be fun to use. A big part of Web design is art. They choose the best pictures and colors to make the website look good. They also write the things that you see on the website.

　　John Russell, aged 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens(老年公民) could ride for half the cost. When he dropped his three quarters into the box, the driver asked him for identification(身份證明). John took out an ID card. “You need a special CTA card,” said the driver. John did not have the CTA card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.

　　“Put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.” John said, “Give me back my quarters, and I'll get off.” “I can't－it's in the box. If you don't get off, I'll call the police,” said he, which he did.

　　Two police cars drove over and stopped. “I'm the criminal(罪犯),” said John Russell. Then he and the driver told their stories.

　　“That's what you called me for?” one policeman asked the driver. Another policeman then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.” John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give me my quarters.”

　　“Where are you going?” asked the policemen. “Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said. “Come on,” the policemen said. “We'll get you your card.” So they took him downtown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card－h(huán)e needed a picture. “What about his quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and the decision was made to give John's quarters back.

　　When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going. “To see my friends,” John said. “How are you going to get there?” “On the bus. And all I'm going to pay is 75 cents.” “Good luck,” the policemen said.

　　Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may want to have something to eat before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or the work will seem much harder than it really is.

　　Break your time into periods that you can control. If you have more than an hour's work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand don't break it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.

　　Don't put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do for you really to learn. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day at school, will take the fear(憂慮) out of tests and keep you on top of it all.

　　Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit－part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.

　　As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins may be in danger of disappearing. The numbers of penguins have decreased(減少) by 30% since 1987.

　　Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern half of the world. They are common to South America, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Many live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in the Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly. But they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill(磷蝦).

　　The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years these birds are completely unable to reproduce(繁殖). Besides, many adult penguins die of hunger.

　　Widespread(廣泛的) fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks(漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物) in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including wild dogs, sharks, seals and sea lions.

　　News about penguins is not all bad, however. Several years ago, oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

1．Penguins ________.

[　　]

A．can swim better than fly

B．can be found near Oceania(大洋洲)

C．eat fish only

D．live only in cold waters

2．Which of the following is NOT the cause of penguin's decrease in numbers?

[　　]

A．Oil searching.

B．Widespread fishing.

C．Human's killing.

D．Warming of the oceans.

3．Why are the penguins in South Africa reproducing in higher numbers than before, the oil leaking?

[　　]

A．Because people removed the ship.

B．Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild.

C．Because people helped the penguins.

D．Because people treated the penguins.

　　One night about nine o'clock. Dr. Eyck, a surgeon(外科醫(yī)生), had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.

　　The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the sky. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o'clock.

Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.

　　It was after two o'clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before. The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.

　　“Mr Cunningham,” said Dr. Haydon to the man, “this is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy.”

　　Along with the Great Pyramid(金字塔) of Giza in Egypt, the Great Sphinx is one of the greatest and most studied monuments(紀(jì)念碑) of human history.

　　Carved(雕刻) from a single piece of stone of hundreds of tons, the Sphinx is the head of a man resting on the body of a lion.

　　The nose, eyes and ears have all been carved in the terrific proportions(比例). That's not easy for an object 180 metres long, 64 metres high and 35 metres wide.

　　No one knows what tools were used to carve the stone, when this was done, or by whom. The Egyptians wrote very little about the building of the Sphinx.

　　There are basically two schools of thought about how it was built.

　　No one knows what the Sphinx looked like when it was first finished because both natural erosion(侵蝕) and damage(破壞) done by man have changed its shape.

　　Many earlier pictures of the Sphinx show it with wings(翅膀), the body of a lion and ox(公牛), and the face of a man. Today only the man and the lion can be seen.

　　To this day, people can't agree with each other on the true role(作用) of the Sphinx.

Most children with healthy appetites(食欲) are ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother refuses some vegetables in the child's hearing, he may copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthy should be got out of from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small part and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he may eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal, or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room. On no condition(任何情況下都不) must a child be coaxed(哄騙) or made to eat.

1．A child with a healthy appetite will eat ________ if it is not badly cooked.

[　　]

A．only a little of the food

B．a(chǎn)ll the food

C．some of the food

D．a(chǎn)lmost alt the food

2．________ can make a child like eating more.

[　　]

A．Offering as much as possible

B．Playing with toys

C．The way a meal is well cooked and served

D．The way parents eat

3．Which of the following is a good action before a child during meal times?

[　　]

A．To discuss the food a parent dislikes.

B．To ask a child what food he likes or dislikes.

C．Never to discuss likes or dislikes of food.

D．To talk a lot to the child.

4．If a child is allowed to leave the table at once after a meal, he will ________.
