     Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn't want to save just one tree-he wants to save a whole rainforest!
     In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four
years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That's enough to purchase
and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem Survival.
Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide.Logging (伐木) and farming
are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though
rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world's plants and animals.
Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.
     Evan's work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes
are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world.Evan's goal is "to save enough rainforests to last forever". He won't have to do it alone.His actions have already inspired other
kids to chip_in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other
kids are starting their own conservation teams.
     Evan says every one can help the planet-even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his
family try to make a difference every day. "We recycle, we try to limit our garbage...we've been walking a
little more, and we buy local food," Evan said.

1. Evan started the group________.

A. to help the poor
B. to save the rainforest
C. to win the Barron prize
D. to make himself well－known

2. How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?

A. About $4,500.
B. About $850.
C. About $280.
D. About $1,000.

3. The underlined phrase "chip in" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".

A. look at
B. contribute money
C. ask for birthday presents
D. unite with other kids

4. What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that________.

A. we can all do something to protect the earth
B. actions speak louder than words
C. we should learn to recycle from now on
D. a good beginning makes a good ending

5. What would be the best title for the passage?

     Drinking alcohol(酒精)is dangerous for kids and teens and sometimes for adults, too.
Alcohol is a drug, and it is the drug most abused by teens. Many kids have their first drink
at an early age, as young as 10 or 11 or even younger.
     They may have seen their parents drink or cool advertisements for beer and wine. It's
easy for a kid to get the wrong message about alcohol. In TV commercials, drinking looks
like a lot of fun, you might see people drinking; and watching sports together or having
a big party.
     But alcoholisactuallya depressant (镆静剂 ).That means it's a drug that slows down
or depresses the brain. Like many drugs, alcohol changes a person's ability to think,
speak and see things as they really are.
     A person might lose his or her balance and have trouble walking properly. The person
might feel relaxed and happy and start crying or have an argument.
     When people drink too much,.They might hurt themselves or other people, especially
if they drive a car. Someone who drinks too much also might throw up and could wake
up the next day feeling awful. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to alcohol poisoning,
which can kill a person. Over time, someone who abuses alcohol can do serious damage
to his or her body. The liver, which removes poisons from the blood, is especially at risk.'
     Because alcohol can cause such problems, teens shouldn't be allowed to use alcohol,
and people who drink alcohol are not allowed to drive cars.

     After crying a river of tears,having too much drink the night before,or spending little time for
sleep,you may find yourself with red swollen eyes. Although you can cover your eye bags with
a cool pair of sunglasses,you still have to deal with your eye problem when you have to remove
them. What's more,bags under the eyes are usually accompanied by other problems such as dark
circles or extreme redness.
     Swollen eyes usually last for hours or a couple of days. If you are not going anywhere,it is
actually good for you to just let nature determine when your swollen eyes are coming back to
normal. However,if you have an important meeting,a date,or you are going to attend a special
occasion,having eye bag can really be annoying. Here are some tricks on how you can recover
your eyes from being swollen.
     Some people have more chance to have eye bags,while others don't. If you are one of the
individuals who often have swollen eyes,then you should stay away from things that are causing
your eyes to swell.
     If you have an important date,you should remember to sleep well the night before. Also,make
sure that you are not wild with alcohol,which may be responsible for the phenomenon. Getting
easy with salty foods may also be a good idea because like alcohol,too much salt can also make
you keep much water.
     If you were not able to prevent your eyes from becoming swollen,then do not be depressed.
here are plenty of things you can do,such as performing eye massage to help reduce the possibility.
     Using your ring finger,simply massage your eye area in circular motion,starting from your nasal
sinuses(鼻窦)then to the cheeks. Make sure that you slightly push the skin upwards so as not to
cause wrinkles. Repeat the massage for about five times on each eye. Gently massaging the area
will help get rid of pooled water faster.
     Placing a cool eye mask (choose the one without holes for more coverage)on your eyes for
10 to 15 minutes will help comfort your eyes. Moreover,your blood vessels (血管)will shrink or
tighten due to the cold temperature. This will help remove water beneath the skin under your eyes.
If you do not have a plastic eye mask,you can use pieces of cold melon or used teabags.
     If you have swollen eyes,it would be best for you to drink plenty of cold water or other cold
drink. As mentioned earlier,the cool temperature encourages blood vessels to shrink,which will
help in promoting better water loss. Basically,the bags under your eyes are simply water or fluid
that was not properly removed out of your system.
     If you still have eye bags even after you performed the tricks above,then you need to skip
eyeliner for the day. This makeup is used to emphasize the shape of the eyes so if you have swollen
eyes,the eyeliner will only highlight the shortcoming.

     Now, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of
diseases. As a result, vitamin supplements(补品),though expensive, are popular with people who
worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many
people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve
health or protect against disease.
     In fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example,
too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors,
as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.
     Experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. People who know they
lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example, may not have
enough vitamin B-twelve. This is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from
foods. Also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this
vitamin from sunlight.
     Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It also is in the
yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain
substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables
and other foods, like fruits. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.
     In fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. So, it is
important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies
need.

1. What is probably talked about before this passage?
A. How many vitamins a person's body needs.
B. How many vitamins some foods contain.
C. The benefits that vitamins bring to our health.
D. What people should do to stay healthy.

2. Vitamin supplements are popular with people because ________.
A. people mistakenly think that they are good for their health
B. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eat
C. food does not provide enough vitamins people need
D. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to disease

3. From the passage, we can learn that medical experts advise people _________.
A. never to take any vitamin supplements
B. to depend only on food for their vitamins
C. not to take any vitamins together with medicines
D. to consult doctors before taking vitamin supplements

4. For people who lack Vitamin B-twelve, they can eat more from _______.
A. sweet potatoes
B. green leafy vegetables
C. pork products
D. eggs

      When one person gains weight , their close friends oftenfollow. Researchers have just
offered evidence in a study that says obesity (肥胖) appears to spread through social ties.
But the findings might also offer hope.
     If friends help make obesity acceptable , then they might also be influential in losing the
fat.The researchers note that support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with
other socially influenced problems , likealcoholism (酗酒 ) .
     The findings appeared in the New EngLand Journal of Medicine. The researchers used
information collected from 12, 000 people. It was collected between 1972 and 2003 as
part of the Framingham Heart Study.
     The information was highly detailed. There was even contact information(联络信息 )
for close friends of the people in the study.
     The researchers examined more than 40 , 000 social ties. They found a person's
chances of becoming severely overweight increased by 50% if a friend had become
obese.
     A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of
becoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.
     Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead researcher in the study.
He says there is a direct causal relationship (因果关系) betweena persongetting fatand
being followed in weight gain by a friend.
     The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex
friendship, a person had a 71%increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44%
increased risk of becoming obese after weight gainin a brother. In sisters ,it was 67% .
     The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each
other. James Fowler of the University of California,was the other lead expert. He says
a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the
same neighhorhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major
part of people's health is tied to their social connections.
     Both researchers say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical
issue , but a public health problem.

1. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?______

A. Obesity is a negative influence on close friends.
B. Friends might also play a part in losing weight.
C. One might have positive influence on one's friend.

D. One might influence others on their social behavior.

3. The increased risk of gaining weight by an obese sister is _______.

A. 50%
B. 40%
C. 67%
D. 71%

4. James Fowler seems to believe that________.

A. a friend who lives nearby affects us most
B. one's health has nothing to do with friends
C. social connections have effects on one's life
D. a friend living faraway has the same influence as one's neighbor

     From school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want
to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on
renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy
days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked.
The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged.
Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.
     Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with
water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful
batteries. There are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water tank. Water contains ions (离子)
that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating
enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.
     Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier.
(The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push
to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour.
In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).
     You're having a blast at your friend's birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone
crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera
captures the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You
can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise. That's one
smart camera.

1. What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?

A. They don't need batteries.
B. They are difficult to operate.
C. They can be powered by water.
D. They are environmentally friendly.

2. According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic _____.

A. is popular with businessmen
B. is suitable for a long trip
C. can turn wind into energy
D. has only a little gas emission

3. The underlined phrase "having a blast" in the last paragraph probably means _____.

A. looking at a picture
B. enjoying yourself
C. blowing out a candle
D. recording sounds

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Triops is sensitive to sounds.
B. The driver of the SSC must be of great size.
C. The color of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.
D. The SSC doesn't have anything to do with a rocket actually.

     For the people living in the Nile Basin, the river is their life.This 6,825 km waterway, whose
watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers, flows through mountains, woodlands,
lakes and deserts.Its potential for fishing, tourism and shipping is great-but so are its challenges.
     Water shortage, already serious in Egypt and Sudan, will soon influence several other countries
in the watershed as well.Today, about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living.
Within the next 25 years, the district's population is expected to double, adding to the demand
brought about by growth in industry and agriculture.The frequent drought (干旱) adds to the
urgency.
     Water quality is also a problem.Precious soil is washed out to sea.Wastes from industry and
agriculture create pollution.Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils.Waterborne
diseases continue unchecked.In areas where it's hot and damp, water hyacinths choke off lakes,
dams and other sections of the river, making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move
forward.
     Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by
day.They've seen the river change course, and their only source (来源) of water thickened with
mud.They're very poor and have few choices.
     But a new program, the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), is offering very practical assistance.The
program is more than just a watermanagement project.It's a plan for the social and economic
development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the
environment that supports them.

     These are whole ecosystem problems, calling for united solutions (解决办法). Half the Nile
Basin's countries are among the world's poorest nations; yet, somehow, they must find the resources,
skills and political will to overcome these challenges.

1. What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces?

A. The development of shipping industry.
B. Overfishing of native people.
C. Water shortage and water quality.
D. Increasing population and tourism.

2. The underlined word "hyacinths" ( in Paragraph 3 ) refers to"________".

A. animals
B. plants
C. rocks
D. salts

3. The program NBI is mainly aimed at ________.

A. preventing water pollution
B. changing the river course
C. improving living conditions of the poor
D. preventing land from becoming desert

4. What would be the best title of this passage?

A. People's Life in Egypt and Sudan

     If you have to miss a meal a day, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you
don't eat it? If you have to make a decision of this type, most people (especially very busy
people) will choose to skip breakfast.
     However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast ( the meal which "break"
you "fast" ) to be the most important t meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say,
we will have the energy and nutrients (营养) we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力)
and stay hopeful with good honor. However, many people skip breakfast or substitute a cup
of coffee for a well balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?
     One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants
included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. The results showed that if a
person eats an adequate breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively
than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially
true if a person's work involves mental(脑力的) activities. The study showed that if school-children
eat fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able
to concentrate (集中)on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast is inadequate.
      The study also showed that contrary to what people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not
lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much
for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you want to lose weight,
skipping breakfast will not help you. You will likely lose more weight if you decrease your other
meals.

1. According to experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because _____.

A. a good breakfast breaks you down fast
B. you'll lose weight quickly if you skip breakfast
C. breakfast provides what a person needs to work
D. after a long night, you'll feel very hungry

2. The underlined part "substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal"(Para. 2) probably
means _______.

A. to exchange a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal.
B. To drink a cup of coffee instead of a well balanced meal.
C. To change a cup of coffee into a well balanced meal.
D. To regard a cup of coffee as a well balanced meal.

3. The example of school-children in para.3 shows that _______.

A.school-children will be quick and attentive all day if they eat breakfast
B.a proper breakfast will make mental workers more efficient
C.fruit, eggs, bread and milk are the best breakfast for mental workers
D.school-children who have breakfast are much brighter than those who don't

4. Which of the following is NOT true according to Para. 4?

A.Some people skip breakfast because they want to be slimmer.
B.Most people who skip breakfast actually eat more for lunch.
C.People put on weight because they eat too much breakfast.
D.Skipping breakfast won't help people who want to lose weight.

5. The best title of the passage is _______

A. How to Lose Weight
B. What's a Healthy Diet
C. Surprising Results of a Study
D. Breakfast - A Meal That Breaks You Fast
