Dear Earthmen(地球人)，
I enjoy my stay on your interesting planet(星球).
I think I know the life on Earth now and I would like to tell you my ideas.
First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels(輪子). All these small boxes run around and around, and finally stop to rest. You leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.
After resting all day, you get back in your little boxes. There you sit and look at very small glowing boxes with moving pictures in them.
There is only one thing I don’t know. Some angry boys fought for a little round (圓的) ball. Everyone shouted(大聲喊) but they kept fighting. They were angry, because they had to stay in boxes all day, I think.
Thank you for this chance(機(jī)會(huì)) to get to know you.
Yours,
The man from Mars(火星)

小題1:C
小題2:C
小題3:A
小題4:B

小題1:本文提到4種boxes，分別為人們住的地方，人們工作的高樓大廈，人們所做的交通工具，人們所看的電視，這些事物在外星人看來(lái)都好像盒子一樣，故本題選C。
小題2:在上班的過(guò)程中坐帶有輪子的盒子指的應(yīng)該是我們坐的車子，故本題選C。
小題3:看到帶有會(huì)動(dòng)的圖片，是電視的盒子，電視應(yīng)該是能發(fā)光的，故glowing是發(fā)光的意思更符合文意，故本題選A。
小題4:本文主要是介紹4中盒子，這四種盒子恰好是地球人通常的生活習(xí)性，所以本文的主要內(nèi)容是外星人告訴地球人地球是怎樣的生活，故本題選B。

  The panda is one of the animals most in danger. Three are about 1,000 pandas living in nature reserves today. Zoos and research centers look after about 160 pandas. Scientists are studying how they live and more baby pandas are born in the zoos.
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southern China. They mainly live on bamboo, and each pandas needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different reasons, so pandas have less and less land to live on. Pandas don’t have many babies, and baby panda often dies. The situation is becoming very serious.
Our government is working hard to save pandas. There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough. The government has made a new plan to help pandas. The nature reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow better. Then the pandas will have enough food and enough places to live in. Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.
Most people love pandas. The panda is one of the best-known animals in the world. It is the symbol for the World Wide Fund for Nature. The WWF works to protect all animals in danger, so the panda has become the symbol of all animals in danger. There is still a long way to save the panda. Think of other animals in danger.

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is—the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don’t make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.
These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:
1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you.
2. When a sentence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.
3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文線索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.
4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.
5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.
6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ides together.
The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.
小題1:The underlined phrase “run into” means ___________.
A．work outB．come acrossC．look intoD．pass by
小題2: From the passage, we can know _________.
A．we should look up new words before reading
B．it is sometimes difficult to read a science passage
C．the six steps are helpful in learning spoken English
D．interesting stories help readers to improve their English
小題3:The massage is mainly about _________.
A．steps of studying scienceB．difficulties in reading science
C．ways of reading science passagesD．researches on science and English

Top student Lin Yijian had a problem recently. The 14-year-old boy from Xiamen used to get marks of over 110 points (out of 120 possible points) on his math tests. But during last semester's final exams, his math score was only 90 points.
It was a shock. "I didn't know what happened," said Lin, who kept feeling nervous and frustrated about math during the following month.
Like Lin, many of us have setbacks (挫折) in life. What would you do to deal with these setbacks? Would you just let them be and give up?

Feeling worried, Chen decided to do something. She did sit-ups for half an hour every day after school. Now, after a month, she can do 30 sit-ups a minute.
