    Three days ago, the boss of a gold shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter was on his desk till dinner time. When he opened it, a $1000 note fell out onto the desk. With the note was a short letter:
    Dear sir,
    I got married forty years ago. Unfortunately, at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money.
    I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away for a moment, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger. So I left the shop with the ring but I didn’t pay for it. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience(让我良心不安)all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $100, and I think that is about ten times at today’s price.
    Now, I am sending you that amount.
    Yours truly,
    A customer
      After reading the letter, the boss said,“Well, life is always full of surprise!”

    Weather has a strong effect(影响) on people. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there easily have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in those states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
    The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists, the IQ scores of some college students were very high during storm, but after the storm, their scores were low. Storms can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can decrease(减少) it. Students in many schools of the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
    Weather also has a strong effect on people’s feeling. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. At about 65F, people become stronger.
    Low air pressure(气压) makes people feel free, but it also increases forgetful- ness. People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and in stores on low pressure days. There is a“perfect weather”for work and health. People feel best at a tempera- ture of about 64F with 65 percent humidity(湿度).
    Are you feeling sick, sad, tired, forgetful, or very intelligent today? The weather may be the reason.
    小题1:Intelligence may be lower______.
    A．during a stormB．when it is sunny
    C．on a very hot dayD．when you take in an exam
    小题2: In the third paragraph,“depressed”means         .
    A．兴奋的B．愉快的C．忧郁的D．担心的
    小题3: In“perfect weather”,          .
    A．both the fat and the thin are healthy
    B．the students do very well in examinations
    C．the air pressure is low
    D．the humidity is 65 percent and the temperature is about 64F

    This is not a diet. It’s a simple way to lose weight. And you don’t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym (健身房). You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.
    A. Wake-up

    Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students' posture (姿势) and attention improve.
    Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. "The students love them", she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
    The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. "Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico ('波多黎各) and Japan," says Witt. "Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低头垂肩地坐) on a ball," says Witt, "but it feels awful." Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧气 to the brain (大脑), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.
    "Furthermore, they're fun." says Pownali.
    小题1: What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will _________.
    A．pay more attention to his lessons B．be fun
    C．like to move aroundD．sit up straighter
    小题2: How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
    A．About three years. B．Only one year.
    C．In 2008. D．Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.
    小题3: In how many countries are the balls used as the students' chairs?
    A．Four. B．Three. C．Two. D．One.
    小题4:Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids___________.
    A．improve the students' posture and attentionB．slouch on the chairs
    C．have funD．Both A and C are correct answers.
    小题5:Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
    A．Sitting on a chair.B．Sitting on a ball.
    C．They are the same.D．We don't know.

    Clean water is not only important for people to produce food, but necessary for our life. However, many people in Asia and Africa don't have enough clean water to use. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day of dirty water or lack (缺乏) of water.
    Farmers use 70-85% of the world fresh water to produce food. People usually don't pay much attention to how much water industry(工业) uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.

    In Australia, the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use.
