| One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. I was so 1 the story I was reading that I didn't 2 that it was getting dark. When I realized that it was too dark for me to read 3 , I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 4 , "Help! Help!" It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to 5 anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again.

I decided that I ought to go out and have 9 in the yard, just in case someone was 10 . I got a flashlight and a stick, which I thought might be useful. With these in my hands, I went out 11 the yard.

I had to go back into the house and put the stick and flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was 18 by the cry of "Help! Help!" This time it was from right behind me!

| Iris is very forgetful and so she worries a lot. She worries a lot and so she becomes even more forgetful. She also talks to herself a lot. One day, she has her hat and coat on and is just about to open the front door. She stops for a moment. "Is the electric cooker off?" Iris never forgets to turn the cooker off but she goes back to the kitchen to make sure. Yes, the cooker is off. "But is the TV off in the sitting room?" She goes to the sitting room and feels a knob (旋钮) on the TV set. "Yes, I don't usually forget that. Oh dear! It's getting a bit late. I don't want to miss that train." So she goes back to the front door and opens it. She is going through the doorway when she stops suddenly. "My key! It's somewhere in my handbag, I think. No, it's not in my purse; not in the front pocket. Ah, I know! Yes, it's in my coat pocket. Thank goodness! I must run all the way." Halfway down the garden path she looks at the sky, which is covered with grey clouds. "I know it's going to rain. And that bedroom window is wide open. I must close it. I suppose I can catch the next train." She opens the door again, putting the key back in her handbag. She throws her handbag on the hall table, rushes upstairs and closes the window. Then she runs downstairs and straight out of the house, closing the door behind her noisily. But she doesn't catch either the first or the second train. And it doesn't rain all day. Poor Iris! |

| On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes. Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion. Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they need. Plants need water and salts from the soil. We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保护). One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall. Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water. Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces. There are some other ways of soil conservation. |

|
[ ] |

| Africa is home to nearly 700 lakes and rivers. It holds the largest amount of water on earth. Because of the overuse of the lakes, natural climate changes and other factors (因素), these lakes are disappearing quickly. Millions of people in Africa depend on water sources like lakes and rivers for their daily water. In other words, they cannot live without these lakes and rivers. Recent studies by the United Nations show that this loss of water supply is putting a great pressure on the African population. In the 1960s, Lake Chad was nearly 83,200 square feet large. In about forty years, it has lost 95% of its size and it has almost completely dried up. At one time, it was one of the largest lakes in the world, and was around 960,000 square feet around 6,000 years ago. The sizes of lakes and rivers and the amount of water have something to do with seasons naturally. But, pollution and agriculture also play an important part in the loss of water. Many pollutants (污染物) are put into lakes and rivers so that many lakes and rivers are seriously polluted, and the water may be poisonous (有毒的). If something isn't done soon about the disappearing lakes and rivers, there will not be enough water for everyone. Then many people in Africa will face diseases and possible dehydration (脱水). |

|
[ ] |

| I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience and facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn't remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge, yet I fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don't necessarily reflect anything about me. I don't know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society. I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy. I will still stay on in college. But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world. |

| In Eastern Europe, blue jeans symbolize (象征) American culture and "the good life". In Spain they are known as "cowboys". In China, jeans are known as ｎｉｕｚａｉｋｕ, also, "cowboy trousers", which means they are connected with the American West cowboy culture and outdoor work. Jeans are usually made from denim (粗布), but may also be made from other materials. The earliest known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the Indians. At first they were working clothes. They became popular among teenagers in the 1950s. Today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around the world and come in many styles and colors. Jeans were first made in Genoa in Italy. The trousers were made for the Genoese navy (海军) because they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the men were cleaning the ships. These jeans would be washed by pulling them in large fishing nets behind the ship, and the sea water would make them white. In the 1850s Levi Strauss, a business man living in San Francisco, was selling blue jeans under the "Levi's" name to the coal workers of California. During World War II, the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear easily. In the 1950s, jeans became popular with young people in the United States. Wearing of blue jeans by teenagers was the symbol of rebels (反叛者) in TV programmes and movies. Some cinemas and restaurants refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans. In the 1980s, jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went up and up. |

|
[ ] |
| A. cowboy culture is usually related to the West of America B. cowboys wear jeans only C. cowboys live a good life D. American culture is cowboy culture |
| 2. Jeans were first made in _____. |
|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |

| 4. Why the people who wore blue jeans were refused to go into the cinema in the 1950s? |
