     Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, at least for the beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary(学科专用语汇). At first, studying chemistry is like learning a new language. Also, some concepts(概念)of chemistry are hard to understand. However, with hard work and careful study, you can finish this subject successfully -and even enjoy it. Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book:  

     ●Firstly, attend classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible, always review the topics you learn in class, and review your notes on the same day.  

     ●Secondly, think carefully whether you really understand the meaning of a term or the use of an equation(方程式). A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate or someone else.  

     ●Thirdly, pay attention to things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully.  

     ●Fourthly, question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help.  

     You will find that chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas(分子式)and equations. It's often used in daily life just like math and physics. Once you fall in love with it, you'll get lots of fun.  

    (1)、How many suggestions does the writer give the readers?  
    A、Three. B、Four. C、Five. D、Six.
    (2)、The writer thinks that a good way to test your understanding of the formula "H2CO3" is to____. 
    A、write it on the blackboard B、read it aloud in class C、explain it to someone else D、ask others the meaning of it
    (3)、According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?  
    A、Chemistry is more often used than physics. B、Some concepts of chemistry are hard to understand. C、Studying chemistry is like learning our mother language. D、Chemistry is usually thought to be as difficult as other subjects.
    (4)、The passage is mainly about _________.
    A、differences between chemistry and physics B、the importance of chemistry and physics C、why chemistry is hard for beginners D、how students study chemistry

    Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? It's blue because water covers almost three quarters of the Earth's surface. Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water.

    Our body loses water whenever we exercise or go to the toilet. That's why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn; factories use it to make products.

    Since the 1950s, the amount (数量) of water people use has increased by three times. But the water supply (供应) hasn't. Scientists worry that soon there won't be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely.

    Having enough water isn't our only problem. We also need it clean.

    Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink. It can also harm fish and other water-living lives.

    We must do something to stop pollution. It's the best way to protect our world's most valuable natural resource (资源).

    (1)、How many important areas of water are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
    A、One. B、Two. C、Three. D、Four.
    (2)、The underlined sentence "We also need it clean" in Paragraph 4 means" ___________."
    A、We also need water to wash things B、We also need water that looks clean C、We also need to keep water clean D、We also need to discover clean water
    (3)、This passage was written to __________________.
    A、ask people to value water B、advise people to drink more water C、introduce the uses of water D、describe the situation of water supply

        People use languages to communicate. Any language has its ways to express people's minds. One of the ways in common is the use of idioms. An idiom is a group of words. It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning. For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill. So when people say “I'm under the weather," they are saying that they're not feeling well. Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather. So, “There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot.

        Different languages may have different ways to make idioms. For people who are learning a foreign language, idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches. On the other hand, if things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk.

        Metaphor (比喻) is often used in idioms. Let's read the following two examples:

        ●It makes my blood boil (煮沸) when people ltter.

        ●The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran cold when I heard a strange noise outside at dark night.

        In neither situation above, our blood can reach the point so high or so low in temperature. Yet, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to work out the unhappy feelings of really angry in the first example and very afraid in the second.

        Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand. When we come to idioms of a foreign language, a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested.

    (1)、This passage tells us something about __________ in the English language.
    A、grammar B、writing C、reading D、idioms
    (2)、If your brother breaks your computer, you can say to him, "__________."
    A、I'm under the weather B、I'm there in all weathers C、You've made my blood boil D、My blood runs cold
    (3)、What is the writer's advice when you come to an expression like under the weather?
    A、We should look it up in a good idiom dictionary. B、We should try to express our minds with it. C、We should find an interesting way to learn it. D、We should create situations to guess its meaning.
