        The word "day" has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using "day" to
    mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using "day" to mean the time between sunrise and
    sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the
    earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over
    and over by the spinning (旋转) of the earth. At the equator (赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length.
    They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months
    the North Pole is tilted (倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere (半球) gets more hours
    of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer
    than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere
    gets more sunlight. Days are longer than night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the
    season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
    1. When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______.
    [     ]
    A. both day and night
    B. day
    C. neither day nor night
    D. night
    2. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ______ of the earth.

    3. At the equator day is as long as night ______.
    [     ]
    A. sometimes
    B. never
    C. usually
    D. always
    4. When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets _____ sunlight.
    [     ]
    A. less
    B. more
    C. all
    D. no
    5. When it is winter in China, ______.
    [     ]
    A. the USA is tilted toward the sun

        You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words.
    Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly.
    Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
        When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You
    shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other
    things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on
    the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that
    you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use
    his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about
    all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and
    films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what
    other people are thinking about.
    1. People communicate _______.
    [     ]
    A. with words only
    B. in many different ways

        Life used to be fun for "teenagers". They used to have money to spend, and free time to while away (消磨).

    exam results may bring them better jobs.
        Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. They try 5.             
    less and save more. They want to be able to get homes of their own one day.
        For some, the answer to unemployment (失业) is to leave home and look for jobs in one of Britain's big

    young people are all unemployed, angry and in trouble. But that's not true. Three quarters of them do more or

        Just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior (行为) that should be followed
    on the Internet. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. ① Imagine
    how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes
    .
        For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, "Would I say that to the person's face?" If the answer is no,
    rewrite and reread. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, you needn't to fire back. You should either
    ignore (不理睬) the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. Remember to respect the beliefs
    and opinions of others in the chat room.
        ② Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.
    When someone makes a mistake, be kind about it. If you do decide to tell someone about the mistake, point it out
    politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you
    have offended (冒犯). ③ 询问别人诸如年龄、性别和家庭情况等隐私问题是不礼貌的。Unless you know
    the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, or don't ask such
    questions.
