Whatever field we are involved in，we always have to look for ways to expand our knowledge.An increase in knowledge in a particular subject can lead to a better understanding，grasp，judgment，intelligence and ability in that area.So how do we go about gaining knowledge?
I think people are the biggest source of knowledge for anybody.Right from childhood，we have learned things by watching others.Whatever field you want to gain knowledge in，there must be many who have experience in that field.So make use of this valuable source of information by learning from the experience，success，mistakes and skills of others. Study carefully and associate with people who are experts in the field you want to gain knowledge in.
The next best source of knowledge should be books.There are millions and millions of books in every language and on almost any topic imaginable.Whatever problem you are facing must have been faced by somebody else before，and its solution is likely to have been preserved in the form of a book.If you are serious about gaining knowledge about a topic，then read any book，magazine，article etc.You can lay your hands on the books related to that topic.Read as much as you can.
It is said that experience is a great teacher，so learn from your past experience and the experience of others.Learn from your and others’ past and present achievements as well as mistakes.
Experimenting with new things and observing new things can help you learn very quickly. Keep in mind，though，that while experimenting，you may encounter a few failures , too.Do not become discouraged as failures are a part of the learning curve，especially while attempting something new.Try to earn from failures instead of becoming disheartened.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.   71  Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.   72 
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.    73  If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
   74  Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.    75  At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
B．Everyone was new to the network once.
C．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
D．When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
F. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
G. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

In a growing number of English classes, teachers are leaving the classic novels on the shelf and letting students select the books they read. Supporters say that the new approach, called reader’s workshop, helps develop a love for reading in students who are bored by classic literature. They argue that the best way to motivate students to read more is to offer them more choices.
Not all educators are on the same page, however. They worry that students who choose trendy, less challenging titles over the classics won’t be exposed to the great writing and key themes of important works of literature.Student reporters Donald and Sarah express their ideas about this new approach.
Donald thinks that we should turn the page. Students should be allowed to select the books they read in English class. He says he and his classmates are allowed to pick their own books in class. That makes them more focused, and they look forward to class time. Tristin, a classmate of his at Clinton Middle School agrees. “I’m reading books that I want to read, which makes class more fun and interesting,” he says. Offering students a choice may also improve test scores. Studies by Professor John Guthrie of the University of Maryland found that students in grades 4 through 6 who had some choices in the books they read showed improved reading comprehension skills during testing. Giving students the chance to decide what they read helps build a lifelong love for reading. Isn’t that what we want for our students?
Sarah holds a different view. She thinks teachers know more about books than students do. When an English teacher assigns a book, he or she keeps in mind the reading level of most students in the class. Students who choose their own books might be cheating themselves by picking books that are not up to their reading level or that are too difficult. Furthermore, a whole class can discuss a book it reads together. That makes it easier for some kids to understand what they are reading. “The students wouldn’t be able to hold a meaningful conversation if they were all reading different books,” says Kristin, an English teacher at Fleetwood Area Middle School. “If they read the same book, their conversations would be more in-depth.”
小題1:What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “Not all educators are on the same page”?
A．Educators have different opinions.
B．Educators didn’t appear at the same time.
C．Educators wrote in different pages.
D．Educators didn’t agree with the author.
小題2:Donald thinks that the new approach could __________.
A．helped students be more focused in class
B．draw students to reading classic novels
C．make students less worried in English class
D．encourage students to red more challenging books
小題3:Sarah thinks that the new approach might __________.
A．help students improve reading comprehension skills
B．help students hold meaningful conversations in class
C．make some students read books not suitable for them
D．make some students ignore the important works of literature
小題4:Who has the same attitude towards the new approach with Kristin?
A．Donald.B．Sarah.C．Tristin.D．John Guthrie.
小題5:The author develops the text mainly by __________.
A．listing cases
B．making comparisons
C．following time order
D．explaining causes and effects

Have you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts, but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks(樹皮) of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.
小題1:This passage mainly talks about ______.
A．the change of color in locusts
B．the protective coloration of animals and pests
C．how a certain sea fish protects itself
D．a(chǎn)nimals or pests can dye themselves different colors
小題2:Locusts are ______ but they aren’t easily wiped out(消滅)by their enemies because _______.
A．a(chǎn)nimals; they are powerful enough
B．beasts; they are dangerous to their enemies
C．pests; they take on the same colors as crops
D．birds; they fly very fast
小題3:What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．can’t be seenB．can be seenC．can’t moveD．can’t change

Since ancient times, people have known about its ability to reduce pain and high body temperature. More than 2000 years ago, the Greek doctor Hippocrates advised his patients to chew on the bark and leaves of the willow.
The tree contains a chemical called salicin（柳醇）. From salicin, researchers in the 1800s discovered how to make salicylic acid（酸）. And in 1897, a chemist named Felix Hoffmann at Friedrich Bayer and Company in Germany created acetyl salicylic acid. Later it became the active substance in a new medicine that Bayer called aspirin. The "a" came from acetyl. The "spir" came from the spirea plant, which also produces salicin. And the "in" Well, that is a common way to end medicine names.
In 1982, a British scientist shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in part for discovering how aspirin works. Sir John Vane found that aspirin blocks the body from making natural substances called prostaglandins（前列腺素）.Prostaglandins have several effects on the body. Some cause pain and the expansion, or swelling（ 腫瘤; 膨脹）, of damaged tissue. Others protect the lining of the stomach and small intestine. Prostaglandins also make the heart, kidneys and blood vessels （血管）work well. But there is a problem. Aspirin works against all prostaglandins, good and bad. Scientists learned how aspirin interferes with an enzyme（酶）. One form of this enzyme makes the prostaglandin that causes pain and swelling. Another form of the enzyme creates a protective effect. So aspirin can reduce pain and swelling in damaged tissues. But it can also harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine（腸）.
小題1:What sickness can the medicine from the willow deal with according to the passage?
A．ColdB．ToothacheC．CancerD．Skin disease
小題2:What can we know about Prostaglandin according to the passage?
A．It results from pain.
B．It prevents the lining of the stomach and small intestine.
C．It causes blood vessels to work wrongly.
D．It is sometimes good but sometimes bad.
小題3:What can we know about aspirin according to the passage?
A．Aspirin can treat almost diseases.
B．Aspirin can create the protective enzyme.
C．Aspirin can harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine.
D．Aspirin can protect the inside of the stomach and small intestine.

A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It has changed the way we work. Already we’re partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth (廣度) of the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a basic new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held concepts about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers — all these are being challenged.
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip (芯片), would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more important, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing (制造業(yè)) or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant (最重要的). It will be the way you do your job.
小題1:One of the great changes caused by the knowledge society is that ______.
A．most people have to take part-time jobs
B．people have to change their jobs from time to time
C．people’s traditional concepts about work are no longer completely true
D．the difference between the employee and the employer has become unimportant
小題2:The future will probably belong to those who ______.
A．have more brains
B．a(chǎn)re involved in the service industries
C．cast their mind ahead instead of looking back
D．possess and know how to make use of information
小題3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Computers and the knowledge society
B．Features and meanings of the New Era
C．Service Industries in the Modern Society
D．Rapid Advancement of Information Technology

We must do what we can to protect the plants because plants are very important for living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）. Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
小題1:Plants can make food from______.
A．flower, water and airB．water, sunlight and air
C．a(chǎn)ir, water and soilD．a(chǎn)ir, sun and light
小題2:The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A．plants are important for life
B．plants cannot grow without air
C．there are many plants in the world
D．we can not live without water
小題3:What can we infer（推斷） from the passage？
A．Of all living things animals are most important
B．Spores are seeds
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D．Without plants, man will die out
小題4:This passage may be taken from______.
A．a(chǎn) medicine bookB．a(chǎn) novel
C．a(chǎn) science magazineD．a(chǎn)n experiment report
