         Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People
    can "farm" on a piece of  "land" and "grow", "sell" or even "steal" "vegetables", "flowers" and "fruits" on the Net.
    They can earn some e-money and buy more "seeds",  "pets" and even "houses".
         Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
         Harold: I don't quite understand why they are so crazy about the childish game. Maybe they are just not

    Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
         Laura: You know, people in the city want to enjoy the life in the countryside. It can reduce my work
    pressure (压力); besides, it gives me the exciting experience (经历) of being a "thief".
         Ivy: Well, it's just a waste of time. Students playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can't
    put their hearts into their study.

         Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And
    they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus Flytrap.
         The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the
    pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly
    touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly can not get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses
    the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
         Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places,
    the ground is very poor. It doesn't have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a
    lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let's hope that some of the bigger plants don't
    get the same idea!
    1. The Venus flytrap grows in _____. 
    [     ]
    A. most parts of the world
    B. some parts of Africa
    C. dry parts of the United States
    D. wet parts of England

    [     ]
    A. all plants can eat people
    B. all plants can eat animals
    C. some plants can eat people
    D. some plants can eat animals
    3. The underlined word "presses" probably means _____ in Chinese. 
    [     ]
    A. 挤压
    B. 关上
    C. 打开
    D. 松开
    4. Why do some plants eat animal meat?
    [     ]
    A. Because plants are dangerous to animals.
    B. Because animals are dangerous to plants.
    C. Because plants want to get what they need from animal meat.
    D. Because plants want to protect themselves against animals.

         In 1989, an earthquake almost flattened (铲平) America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.
    In the earthquake, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed

         He was surprised at what he saw, but he suddenly remembered the promise (承诺) he had made to his son:
    "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. He began to think of the
    place where his son's classroom might be. He rushed there and started digging through the ruins (废墟). As he
    was digging, other parents tried to pull him off, saying, "It's too late! They are all dead! You can't help! Go home!
    There is nothing you can do!" But he only replied, "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig
    for his son, stone by stone. The policemen also tried to pull him off and asked him to go home. But he only replied,
    "Are you going to help me now?" But everyone was sure it was over. No one helped. He went on alone to see if
    his son was still alive, 8 hours… 12 hours… 36 hours… then, in 38th hour, he pulled back a big stone and heard
    his son's voice. He screamed, "Armand!" He then heard, "Dad, it's me. I told the other kids not to worry. I told
    them if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved! You have promised
    no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!"
         "Come out, boy!"
         "No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter
    what happens, I know you will always be there for me!"

    B. About four minutes

    D. 38 hours

  • 阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一词)

          How do you feel when you have to make a speech (演讲) in front of class? What about when you go to
    a birthday party? Do you get really shy?
         Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you're around other people. Experts have found that
    more than 80% middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some
    become shy later because of their life experiences.
          It's OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In
    fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It's just a case of how much.
         Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy
    that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill. Some are afraid to
    meet new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
         If shyness doesn't stop you from doing anything you want to do, being shy isn't a very big problem.
    Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are
    also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history
    were shy, too.
        You see, being shy isn't all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you
    have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There's
    nothing to be afraid of.
