    Maybe there are many differences between going to school in Britain and going to school in your country. In Britain school starts between 8: 30 and 9: 00 and finishes at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It is a long day but there are no lessons on Saturdays. Children usually have lunch at school. School meals are not very expensive and are quite good. But some children don't like them and bring sandwiches or go home.

    In Britain, school holidays are different from those in other countries. They are shorter at Christmas and Easter but much longer in the summer. The school year starts in the first week in September and ends in the third or fourth week of July.

    Children start primary school when they are five years old. They stay there until they are 11. Then they usually go to a secondary school. Children cannot leave school before they are 16. At this age most students take public exams. Students who continue their studies go into the sixth form. If their school doesn't have a sixth form, they change schools or go to a college. Students need two years in the sixth form, and they take more public exams. In some parts of Britain, students go to middle school at the age of 8 and then go to secondary schools when they are 12 or 13.

    I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the Earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the Earth.

    Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the Earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.

    By the year 2200, the Earth's water was completely polluted. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the Earth. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体).

    So by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in the lakes and seas died because of pollution. Wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.

     By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the Earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere and everywhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our spaceships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.

    So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

    (1)、How did the writer go back to this year?
    A、By spaceship. B、By time ship. C、By time machine. D、By space car.
    (2)、According to the passage, when should human beings begin to leave the Earth?
    A、By the year 2500. B、By the year 24. C、By the year 2300. D、By the year 2200.
    (3)、What does the underlined word "scarce" mean?
    A、Not expensive. B、Not enough. C、Not important. D、Not difficult.
    (4)、What is the aim of this passage?
    A、To travel around space in a time machine B、To save the Earth by changing the lifestyle. C、To find another planet for human beings to live on. D、To leave the Earth before it becomes lifeless.

    Taboo is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.

     Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners around our city. Mr. Singh was from India and Mr. White from USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him. Mr Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual. He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.

    In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn't touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens' claws. During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn't know it was a taboo in India to shake one's left hand. Mr Singh explained that since oxen are sacred in India, people don't eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the states for people to eat chickens' claws. He went on to say that Americans don't usually get into each other's personal space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos isn't it a good lesson to remember?

    (1)、What does the underlined word "taboo" mean?
    A、纹身 B、禁地 C、禁忌 D、不良行为
    (2)、Why did Mr. Singh seem unhappy when the writer shook hands with him?
    A、Because he disliked shake hands with others. B、Because he didn't feel very well. C、Because his hands were not clean. D、Because it is impolite to shake one's left hand in India.
    (3)、The reason why Mr Singh disliked eating chickens' claws is that        .
    A、It is unusual for American to eat chickens' claws B、It is a taboo in American C、the chickens' claws look horrible D、eating chicken is not usual for American
    (4)、From the passage, we can learn that         .
    A、it is rude to shake one's left hand B、people sometimes feel unhappy if one breaks a taboo C、you should have taboos as people from different cultures D、it is forbidden to eat chicken's claws in America

    There are some differences between American English and British English. How did these differences come about?

    Many years ago, lots of British people were forced to leave their country and go to some other places. These places were later called America, Canada and Australia. The English language was brought to these places by them. In the beginning, those living in America (later called Americans) spoke the same as they did in England, but the English people at home changed their language. Sometimes Americans spoke in a different way, while the people in England spoke the same as they did before. So the language changed little by little in different parts of the world.

    The English language has also taken in many new words from other languages. For example, Americans borrowed "cent" from old French and "cookbook" from German. They also borrowed "tofu" and "kowtow" from Chinese. In short, the English language is changing all the time.

    (1)、Why are there some differences between American English and British?
    A、American English was invented by the Americans themselves. B、American English is developed from French. C、Americans are not as good as the British in English. D、the British and the Americans changed their language little by little differently.
    (2)、The underlined phrase "at home" in the second paragraph means          .
    A、in America B、in England C、in Canada D、in Australia
    (3)、According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A、Many British people were made to leave home a long time ago. B、People in America, Canada and Australia speak American English. C、English changes greatly every year. D、People in Britain borrowed "tofu" from the Chinese language.
    (4)、The passage is probably from          ..
    A、a sport magazine B、an advertisement C、an English textbook D、an art magazine

    "That's because you can't give up you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze and you can cross the desert easily," said the desert.

    "Give up what I am now? No! No!" the river (agree)with this idea." The breeze can carry the vapour  (cross) the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again, "said the desert. "And whether you're a river or vapour, your nature(本性) never changes.
