| Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团). This is about the family standing ahead of us. The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but 1 . The children were well behaved. They stood in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns (小丑), elephants and other acts they would see that night. You could 2 that they had never been to the circus before. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He 3 replied, "I want eight children's tickets and two adult tickets please, so I can take my 4 to the circus." The ticket lady quoted (报) the price. The man's wife let go of his hand. The man's lip started to quiver (颤抖).He leaned (靠) toward 5 and asked again, "How much did you say?" The ticket lady quoted the price again. The man didn't have 6 money. How was he supposed to tum and tell his eight kids that he couldn't take them to the circus? My dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and 7 it on the ground. (And we weren't rich!) Then he 8 down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, ''Excuse me, sir, this 9 out of your pocket." The man knew 10 was going on. He looked into my dad's eyes, held my dad's hand in his, and took the $20 bill. With a tear in his eye, he replied,"Thank you, thank you, sir. This really 11 a lot to me and my family." My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn't get to see the circus that night, but we didn't 12 . | ||||

| Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It's neither China nor Japan. It's Great Britain. In the wild, tea plants may be 30 feet tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned (修剪). Pruning keeps the plant only three or four feet tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves and bud of each new shoot are picked. So to make money, tea plantations must be huge. In general, there are two kinds of tea. Black tea and green tea. Black tea is fermented (发酵). In the process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy qualities. Green tea is steamed (蒸炒) right after the leaves are picked. Green tea retains its healthy qualities. For example, it may prevent heart disease. How did we get tea bag? The answer: by accident. Tea merchants (商人) used to send samples in tin boxes. This was costly. One merchant thought of a cheaper way. He sent samples in small silk bags. Customers would cut open the bag. They would brew the leaves as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured (倒) hot water over it. And the tea bag was born. Shen Nong was the first to drink tea. (Shen was a Chinese emperor. ) This was about 2737 B. C. Shen had bad digestion. So he drank several cups of hot water dai- ly. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot. The next cup was poured. The water was now colored. Shen sipped it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was proud of his new drink. He served it to his guests. Word spread. People thought this way. Tea is good enough for the Emperor. So it must be good enough for the people. Tea became the drink of China. |

| Geography is the study of Earth and its climates. Scientists use it to study global (全球的) warming and track (跟踪) the weather. Govemments use it to leam where people live and work and to plan what to do with the land. It is now easier than event. use geography because of a science called space technology. The United States launched its first satellite in 1958. Some space missions (使命) that followed were geographical studies. In fact, earth science is a big part of the work of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Astronauts looked out of the space shuttle (航天飞机). They decided to take photographs of Earth from their vantage point. Over the years, picture quality improved. Shuttle photography now shows land features, such as rivers. It can even show the streets oflarge cities. Photos of the same places at different times show how the land is changing. NASA does not use just photographs, though. In 1958 it launched TIROS (the Television Infrared Observation Satellite). This first use of a satellite to study Earth was effective (有效的) in giving weather forecasts. It led to the creation of new space tools to use in geography. The Landsat Program began in 1972. This satellite sent detailed (细致的) views of Earth from space. The pictures were so precise (精确) that scientists could count the number and kinds of crops in a field. Landsat showed where Earth's surface had faults along which earthquakes might happen. This information helped in the planning of new cities and factories. Landsat also made discoveries. In Antarctica it located ranges of unknown mountains. It pinpointed small lakes in Virginia that were not on maps. Landsat, now more advanced, still flies today. Another space tool is Earth Observing - 1 (EO - 1). This spacecraft fiies right behind Landsat. It takes pictures of the same sites. The two sets of pictures, viewed together, show how cities grow and how other places, such as rain forests, become smaller over time. This helps scientists learn how people affect (影响) geography. One of the newest space tools is the Geographical Information Systems ( GIS). CIS is computer software that helps scientists to study Earth. CIS is different from ear- lier space tools. Businesses, schools, and even average people-not just the government-can use it to show them how changes in the planet might affect them. |
| 1. Why do govemments study geography according to the passage? |
| A. To improve the environment. B. To make the land use plan. C. To make new discoveries. D. To count the crops in a field. |
| 2. Which of the following is true according to the passage? |
| A. The U. S. satellite program began in 1972. B. Landsat was able to take pictures of other planets. C. TIROS was successful in giving weather forecasts. D. GIS can only be used by the govemment. |
| 3. EO -1 takes photographs of the same places as Landsat because _______. |
| A. the two groups of pictures can show the changes of Earth B. EO - 1 is practicing for future photography missions C. Landsat is out of date and new pictures are needed D. Landsat can't send detailed views of Earth from space |
| 4. From the passage, we can infer that _______. |
| A. GIS is the newest computer to study Earth B. NASA only depends on photos to study Earth C. satellite pictures can give more detailed informations D. recent U. S. satellites are as advanced as the old ones |

| In our lives, we enjoy everything from computers to cars to heated buildings. These comforts have something in common: they all need energy to work. Energy has many different forms. One form, electricity, comes mostly from steam-powered generators (蒸汽发电机). Steam is made by buming coal, oil, or natural gas. Gasoline(汽油) is another form of energy. Casoline is made from oil. Oil has many other uses. Paints, fertilizers, and plastics are made from it. We even use it to heat buildings. Coal, oil, and gas are natural resources (资源). We take them from nature to make our lives easier. We can classify (分类) natural resources as either renewable or nonrenewable. Coal, oil, and gas are nonrenewable. They take millions of years to form. Some scientists predict that we will run out of oil and gas in 50 to 100 years. Coal is more plentiful. So it may last for hundreds of years. Resources such as wood and water are renew- able. They can be grown or recycled naturally. They can, however, become limited from overuse. We have developed some altemate (替代的) sources of energy. But these sources have disadvantages. For example, hydroelectric power, or energy from running water, affects the ecology (生态) of surrounding areas. Nuclear power (核电), another altemate source, presents the threat (威胁) of nuclear accidents. There are also problems related to the storage (储存) of nuclear wastes. Solar and wind energies aren't consistent. We can't depend on them. Geothermal energy, caused by heat from inside the earth, is tapped by drawing steam and hot water from pools and geysers. This energy source, like most others, isn't fully developed. It's time to get serious about energy. We must find practical, alternate energy sources. If we wait too long, it will be too late. We will run out of coal, oil, and natural gas. Then we won't have the resources to make altemate energy sources. |
| 1. Does oil have many uses? ________________________________________ 2. How long may coal last according to the passage? ________________________________________ 3. Why are wood and water renewable resources? ________________________________________ 4. What can be problems with nuclear power? ________________________________________ 5.
