A traveller was staying in an Egyptian village. One day, she held up her camera to take pictures of the children. Suddenly the young ones began to shout at her. The traveller's face turned red and she apologized to the head for what she was doing, and told him she had forgotten that people in some places believed a person would lose his soul if his picture was taken. She explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time. Several times the head tried to say something, but he couldn't.

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

5.Folic acid is ______.

A. something in food B. a vegetable

C. dangerous D. a certain kind of spinach

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.

Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.

1._______, our world is becoming much smaller.

A. Because of the rise in pollution

B. Thanks to science development

C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night

D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year

2.Hundreds of years ago, life was __________ it is today.

4.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _______.

A. it makes much noise

B. it makes us angry more easily

C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.

B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.

C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.

D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.

How to Host a Successful Party

Plan your food list and shop ahead of time. 4. If you’re the host, you will need lots of advance notice of your menu and the number of guests you are expecting.

Double-check the details the night before the party. Do a quick walkthrough, starting at your front door, and make sure there’s an area for guests’ coats. 5. Finally, count your serving plates and glasses to make sure there are enough.

Read English newspapers is my favorite activity. When I entered into high school, I began to enjoy doing such work. With the teacher’s help, I realize that reading English articles are of great important. It’s a good way to improve my English. I’ve learned more new words and expression by doing so. I also get many information, including news about China and the world outside. It opens my eyes widely. Which I love most is the section about TV programs in the coming week. I dislike reading long articles there are many new word. I will work hard to keep on as if it’s a particularly hard task for me.
