    Today there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There will be a lot of people to feed. We need more food.
    One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material(遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods(转基因食品), or GM foods.
    By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.
    Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.
    GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.
    小题1:GM foods ________.
    A．are a quick way to produce food
    B．grow in the wild

    A．They are not useful.
    B．They are not helpful.

    A．GM foods will disappear one day in the future
    B．GM foods will not disappear in the future
    C．people will not be interested in GM foods
    D．people will have to stop using GM foods

    Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
    Some people believe that if they are wealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
    Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
    The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
    The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
    Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
    Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
    小题1:The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.
    A．pleasedB．healthyC．excitedD．rich
    小题2:Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.
    A．get money and something they can't buy with money
    B．do what they want to do at any time
    C．enjoy health which makes them work hard
    D．take an active part in all kinds of activities every day
    小题3:The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________.
    A．think about getting money
    B．think of presents they don't like
    C．often spend time with close friends
    D．often spend time on entering the college
    小题4:Many people find it happy to ___________.
    A．remember the old days and troubles
    B．do some meaningful things for others

    Do you get angry at your friends’ singing loudly while you are working? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
    If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can make you lose friends.
    Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natural way to act. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily—all you have to do is telling yourself not to be angry.
    When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.
    ·Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.
    ·Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
    ·Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh!
    小题1:The writer wants to tell us         .
    A．not to get angryB．to work hard at school

    Every object has weight. But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object. If the top of an object is heavier than its bottom, it will fall over easily. We say that its center of gravity is high. But if the bottom is heavier, it won’t fall easily. Then we say that its center of gravity is low.
    Look at the first picture. This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above the line of its bottom (AB).
    Now look at the second picture. There is some heavy iron in the bottom of this box. It will not fall, because its center of gravity is above its bottom.

    小题1:If the bottom of an object is ______ its top, it will fall over easily.
    A．lighter thanB．heavier thanC．no heavier than　　D．as heavy as
    小题2:Please point out which box will not fall.
