    Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch.
    Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist(奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss(瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake.
    Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授). He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
    Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.

    Homesick is a compound(复合的) word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each   46   means on its own, of course. But do you know the meaning    47   they are used together? The definition(定义) of homesick is SICK FOR HOME. It means you miss your home.
    Now think for a minute   48 SEASICK. If you change the word HOME in the definition to the word SEA, would the definition   49 SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite   50 . Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are    51   ,the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick,    52   you want to be is at sea.
    Have you ever   53   a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart. People are heartsick when they are    54  deep inside as if their hearts are broken.
    And we also have other compound words, such as handshake and    55  . Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know some thing like this in your English study.

    Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of US technology giant Apple, has died at the age of 56. Mr Jobs had announced he was suffering from cancer in 2004. Apple said he had been "the source of countless innovations（创新）that enrich and improve all of our lives" and had made the world "immeasurably（无法衡量的）better".
    Tributes(赞美之辞) have been made by technology company bosses and world leaders, with US President Barack Obama saying the world had "lost a visionary（有远见卓识的人）". "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators —— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it," said Mr Obama.
    A statement from Mr Jobs's family said they were with him when he died peacefully on Wednesday. "In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he loved his family deeply," they said, requesting privacy and thanking those who had "shared their wishes and prayers" during his final year.
    Apple said the company had "lost a visionary and creative genius(天才) and the world have lost an amazing human being". Tim Cook, who was made Apple's CEO after Mr Jobs stood down in August, said his predecessor had left behind "a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple". Flags are being flown at half mast outside the Apple headquarters（总部） in Cupertino, California, while fans of the company have left tributes outside Apple shops around the world.
    The heads of other leading technology companies have also paid tribute, including Microsoft boss Bill Gates, who said "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been a great honour. I will miss Steve very much."
    Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg thanks Mr Jobs for "showing that what you build can change the world" while Sony Corp president and CEO Howard Stringer said: "The digital age has lost its leading light." South Korea's Samsung, which is involved in a case with Apple over patents(专利), admired Mr Jobs for his "Completely new and different changes to the IT industry".

    Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳)，Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning，she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.
    Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days，we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth.
    Water covers 70% of the earth's surface. But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface.
    You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn't mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars，factories，farms and homes make our rivers，lakes，and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish，too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.
    How do cars and factories make our water dirty？First，they pollute the air. Then，when it rains，the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain，called acid rain(酸雨)，is also bad for plants，animals and buildings.
    Scientists say that in 30 years，more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water：
    ●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.
    ●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away！
    ●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half----and you'll be just as clean.
    ●When you wash dishes，don't let the water run.
    ●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn't full，you're  wasting water！
    小题1:On the earth，_______.
    A．sea water is more widely(广泛地) used than fresh water
    B．there is very little water for our living
    C．there is 71% of fresh water
    D．we don't need to worry about water
    小题2:Acid rain _______.
    A．is only bad for living things
    B．can be produced in factories
    C．doesn't do harm(伤害) to people，but it's bad for plants，animals and buildings
    D．doesn't just do harm to human beings but to animals，plants and buildings
    小题3:Which of the following wastes water？
    A．We need ten minutes if we want a clean shower.
    B．We should put in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines.
    C．You can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes.
    D．Don't let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes.
    小题4:What's the main idea of the passage？
    A．Something must be done to prevent water from being polluted.
    B．Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us.
    C．It's time to take care of the water we use.
    D．Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.

    Passage 5
    Here in Siberia (西伯利亚), the winter is always very long and it’s very, very cold! It starts to snow in November and the snow won’t leave until May. The temperature is usually about -25℃, but it’s sometimes much colder. When it’s -35℃, children can’t go to school, but grown-ups still go to work! We wear a lot of warm clothes: socks and boots, sweaters and fur coats. All the houses have heating, so it’s never cold inside. In winter, we close the windows to stop the wind from getting in, and we don’t open them again until spring.
    In spring and summer it rains a lot, and we don’t often see the sun. In summer it’s often about 25℃, but the weather is very changeable. One day it’s 25℃, and the next day it’s 10℃. People say that the weather was even colder in the past.
    小题1:How long is Siberia’s snowy time?
    小题2:What are used in Siberia to keep the people and houses warm?

    Passage 4
    From the world’s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world’s smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world’s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).
    The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.
    People now can break over 1000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? “It gives people a chance to show they’re the best in the world.” said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
    The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world’s truly greatest people and things in it!
    The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
    ☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world’s smallest dog. It’s only 76mm tall.

    C．the strangest people and things
    D．very ordinary people and things
    小题2:The Guinness Book of Records has been one of the best selling books for           .
    A．50 yearsB．76 yearsC．600 yearsD．1000 years
    小题3:Newport thought many people tried to break Guinness records because       .
    A．their names be kept in the world records.
    B．their names could be seen by the whole world.
    C．they could meet more people all over the world.
    D．they could be known as the greatest by the world.
    小题4:Which of the following is right according to the passage?
    A．Newport started the Guinness Book of Records in Britain.
    B．More than four thousand records are broken each month.
    C．The Guinness Book of Records started in the year 1954.
    D．The newest book of Guinness comes out every Tuesday.
    小题5:The writer of this passage wants to         .
    A．tell us the strangest records in the world
    B．show us the beginning of the Guinness Book of Records
    C．give us an introduction to the Guinness Book of Records

    Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?
    If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
    Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
    To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.
    小题1:There were _______ blind man who were trying to tell what an elephant was like in the story.
    A．twoB．fourC．fiveD．six
    小题2:The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.
    A．heavyB．thinC．tallD．strong
    小题3:The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to ___.
    A．your left handB．your right handC．the waterD．the bowl
    小题4:What makes people think about simple facts differently?
    A．People’s wrong ideas.
    B．People’s different experience.
    C．Simple facts are different sometimes.
    D．People often disagree with each other.
    小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.
    A．learn from the blind men
    B．not agree about simple facts
    C．never think about simple facts
    D．never decide anything with one side

    Drinking water is good for your health. There are some scientific ways of drinking water.
    1. It is the best medicine to drink two glasses of water in the morning.
    2. Drink clean water.
    3. Drink the water that has not been boiled.
    Many people think boiled water is safe and good to people’s health. In fact, it is not true. The boiling point of water is 100℃. By boiling it, most bacteria（细菌）in water can be killed. In the past, the water was less polluted. So boiling was a good way to make clean water. But heavy metals and other dangerous things in today’s water are much more terrible than bacteria. Boiling doesn’t fix that problem. And boiling water may give us more of the dangerous things in our glass.
    4. Never use soft drinks to take the place of water.
    5. Water is also needed in winter.

    3) Drinking water at about 3 pm can clean out the wastes in your body.
