It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared（害怕） on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（運(yùn)動鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
小題1:The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A．startB．studyC．findD．teach
小題2:The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.
A．what to know about a new school
B．how to prepare for a new school
C．what to do on your first day of school
D．how to spend your first day of school
小題3:According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _______.
A．introduce yourselfB．learn about the school rules
C．make new friendsD．go over your new lessons
小題4:If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________
A．nervousB．luckyC．happyD．excited

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:D

Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves－an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead. There is no need for soaking (浸泡)，dry cleaning－or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the “shower suit”，described as “revolutionary” by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI)，which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian wool－growers. Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
The suit could be worn in the shower，although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead，AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said.“The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a spray (噴霧)，and it’s dry the next morning，” Mr Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies. The secret is the best lining (內(nèi)襯)，which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate people，particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late，Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested.
Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet，or tried to wash it in the shower，because they cut to fit Japanese figures.AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India. Mr Feighan hoped the suit，made from local wool，would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months’ time.
小題1:What is the writing purpose of the article?
A．To introduce a newly－designed shower suit.
B．To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly.
C．To provide suggestions on saving time in bath.
D．To praise AWI for its important achievement.
小題2:Which is true about the suit according to the passage?
A．It can spare the owner’s trouble of soaking，dry cleaning and applying soap.
B．It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth.
C．It is not suitable for hanging.
D．It has attracted more orders than any other suit.
小題3:The suit draws the attention from all the following groups EXCEPT________.
A．corporate people who are always on the go
B．people on occasional business trips
C．the airline industry
D．people burning the midnight oil
小題4:Which of the following has much to do with Mr Feighan?
A．The invention of the suit.
B．The try－on of the suit.
C．The combination of the three technologies on the suit.
D．The popularization of the suit and best wishes for it.

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, move his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (the two holes at the end of your nose, through which you breathe and smell things) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional help arrives.
To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey colour, and you can feel no pulse(脈搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.
With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.
小題1:If you want to save someone drowning, you __________.
A．have to pull off his clothes first .
B．should try to get him out of water as quickly as possible.
C．should first make out who he is.
D．ought to throw a life coat to him first .
小題2:Once a person stops breathing, it means ___________.
A．you have no more than 4 minutes to bring him to life again .
B．his brain is completely damaged .
C．he has passed away.
D．there is no way to save his life .
小題3:To press his chin upwards is a way to _____________.
A．keep the tongue from blocking the airway in the throat .
B．prevent the tongue from stopping the airway in the throat .
C．wipe the tongue out of the throat .
D．see if he can possibly be saved .
小題4:If the drowning boy has no pulse,_____________.
A．press his chin upwards is enough to get him breathing .
B．blow air into his mouth is sure to save his life .
C．press his nostrils together with your fingers can work .
D．press is the last chance of saving his life .
小題5:Which of the following statement is true?
A．Don’t stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again.
B．If you see someone drowning, you must give him mouth-to-mouth breathing.
C．If a man does not breathe for four minutes, his brain will be completely destroyed.
D．When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2,000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
Researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.
African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.
Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."
小題1:Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?
A．Whites—Native Hawaiians
B．Africans—Americans—Latinos
C．Asians—Native Hawaiians
D．Africans—Americans—Native Hawaiians
小題2:Researchers agree that it is _____ that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.
A．the larger amount of smoking than white people
B．the living style or habit of the blacks
C．the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs
D．the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke
小題3:People in the new study are made up of _____.
A．heavy smokers in America B．the black and white people
C．the Asians and Hawaiians D．smokers and non-smokers
小題4:The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to _____.
A．explain different races react to some diseases differently
B．tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers
C．show a big step people have taken in the medicine area
D．support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers

“Open it, Miss Ellis.”
The teacher slowly opened the box and looked inside.

The Iceberg Was Only Part ofIt
What doomed the Titanic is well known, at least in outline. On a moonless night of April 15, 1912, the ship hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic ,with 1,500 lives lost.
A century later many people presented new theories to explain the real reason for the disaster. Now two new studies argue that rare states of nature played major roles in the disaster.
The first says Earth’s nearness to the Moon and the Sun — a proximity not matched in more than 1,000 years — resulted in record tides that help explain why the Titanic met with so much ice, including the fatal iceberg.
Recently, a team of researchers found an apparent explanation in the heavens. They discovered that Earth had come unusually close to the Sun and Moon that winter, enhancing their gravitational pulls on the ocean and producing record tides. The rare orbits took place between December 1911 and February 1912 — about two months before the disaster came about. The researchers suggest that the high tides refloated masses of icebergs traditionally stuck along the coastlines of Labrador and Newfoundland and sent them adrift into the North Atlantic shipping lanes.
And a second, put forward by a Titanic historian from Britain, contends that the icy waters created ideal conditions for an unusual type of mirage(海市蜃樓) that hid icebergs from lookouts whose duty was to watch carefully for danger ahead and confused a nearby ship as to the liner’s identity, delaying rescue efforts for hours.
Most people know mirages as natural phenomena caused when hot air near the Earth’s surface bends light rays upward. In a desert, the effect prompts lost travelers to mistake patches of blue sky for pools of water. But another kind of mirage occurs when cold air bends light rays downward. In that case, observers can see objects and settings far over the horizon. The images often undergo quick distortions — not unlike the wavy reflections in a funhouse mirror.
Now, scholars of the Titanic are debating these new theories. Some have different opinions on it. Over all, though, many experts are applauding the fresh perspectives. 
小題1:The underlined word "It" in the title probably refers to _______.
A．the TitanicB．the cause of the disaster
C．the record tideD．a(chǎn)n unusual mirage
小題2:According to Theory First, what was the right chain of causes leading to the Titanic’s disaster?
① record tides’ forming and icebergs’ being refloated
② icebergs’ being drifted into the North Atlantic shipping lanes
③ the Earth’s strange closing to the Sun and the Moon
④ increasing of the gravitational force on the ocean
A．①→②→③→④B．②→③→④→①C．④→③→②→①D．③→④→①→②
小題3:According to Theory Second, the disaster happened to the Titanic mainly because______.
A．the freezing weather made the watcher not be able to watch clear
B．the mirage made the watcher not find icebergs and a nearby ship delay rescuing
C．the mirage on the sea attracted the watcher and made him forget his work
D．the high tides drove the icebergs float so fast that the watcher didn’t respond to them
小題4:What is the chief function of the sixth paragraph?
A．to explain to the readers the ways of the mirage forming
B．to infer the possibility of the mirage appearing
C．to summarize the various kinds of the mirage
D．to analyze the conditions of the mirage arising
小題5:This passage is organized generally in the pattern of________.
A．comparison and contrastB．conclusion and proof
C．time and eventsD．definition and classification（分類)
