1、Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires just in the United States, with direct property loss because of home fires at about $7.3 billion. Every day Americans experience the horror of fires, but most people don't understand fires.
To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires.
In less than 30 seconds a small flame (火焰) can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it to be in flames. Most deadly fires happen in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you won't have time to take valuables because the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous (有毒的) gases. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and poisonous gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape.
Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt (熔化) clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once.
Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home you've lived in for years. Only when we know the true nature of fires can we prepare our families and ourselves.

D、By giving examples.(2)、What can we infer from the third paragraph?A、It is necessary to escape in time. B、It is important to find poisonous gases. C、It is impossible to keep away from smoke. D、It is dangerous to stay away from the door.(3)、How does black smoke trouble us?A、Causing us to feel hopeless. B、Making our faces turn black. C、Getting us to lose our ways. D、Forcing us to walk around the home.(4)、What does the text mainly tell us?A、Different processes of home fires. B、Some basic knowledge of home fires. C、Great damage of home fires in the USA. D、Some good ways to prevent home fires. -
2、Mallory Haske surfs nearly every day in the summer, and it really annoys her to see trash in the water or on the beach. So when her high school English teacher assigned a passion project, Haske came up with a creative idea that connected surfing and trash.
She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surf board in an effort to raise awareness about ocean pollution. "The feeling of catching a wave is fantastic. It's such a mental release," said Haske, standing on the beach waxing(上蜡) her newly finished trash board. "I really hope it floats."
Her teacher assigned the project months ago and was surprised to see how Haske's enthusiasm about it grew throughout the school year. "Not every student found her passion, but she did," said the teacher. "I'm super proud of her."
Over the winter, Haske, who would graduate soon, collected litter including cigarette butts, bottle caps, fast-food containers and masks along the resort area beach. "It was definitely a unique challenge,"Haske said.
She landed a sponsor and raised money from friends to create the surf board, which cost about $1,000. Haske took custom orders and helped people build their own surf boards. Making one out of trash was a first for her. Nearly the entire board was made from recycled material and litter.
On Tuesday after school, Haske went out and attempted to ride a wave on her new board, but the mostly flat conditions made it difficult. The nose of the surfboard made by herself kept going under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat. "It's pretty heavy up front, but it's going to be my best friend," Haske said after coming out of the water. "It's made for large waves."
(1)、Why did Haske make the surf board?A、To put trash to the best use. B、To take a surfing competition. C、To pursue her passion for surfing. D、To draw attention to ocean pollution.(2)、Which of the following can best describe Haske?A、Proud and reliable. B、Responsible and innovative. C、Tough and faithful. D、Imaginative and desperate.(3)、How did Haske make the surfboard?A、With the help of environmentalists. B、By cooperating with her parents. C、By using the trash collected from the beach. D、Under the guidance of her teacher.(4)、What does the underlined word "upbeat"in the last paragraph probably mean?A、Optimistic. B、Cautious. C、Peaceful. D、Discouraged. -
3、While tea may have its origins in Asia, now it has found its way into their food culture and traditions in many countries. It is a special way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies. That finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly used on both formal and informal occasions either for personal enjoyment or as a Chinese cultural tradition.

Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea. Japanese tea is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in western culture.
British tea culture

A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a special way to welcome guests.

20、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。
Local (official) in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage (遗产), in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are (common) found in the cities of North China, but they are in danger. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of are near the Forbidden City. Only 60 years ago, the number of the hutong (be) 3,250.
"On average more than 100,000 people visit the Forbidden City during the National Day holidays. The visits put pressure on the (protect) of cultural relics," said Huang Yan, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, (add) that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government concentrated how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of cultural heritage worked. Wang Shaofeng, head of the Xicheng District Government, said the area has 182 cultural relics, and many of them were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty. The district of Xicheng has 1.28 million residents in its 57 square kilometers of land. " most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage," Wang said. "Each community has been requested (report) the status of its cultural heritage." No one knows for sure how many hutongs (leave) in the coming 100 years.
