         It may happen sooner or later:when books, toys, songs, snacks, video games, and DVDs have lost
    their charm, your child begins to say, "I'm bored!Tell me a story, please."Your mind goes blank and your
    child looks at you with great expectation.What should you do?
         You may not realize it, but you have a wealth of stories to share.Personal stories, particularly from your childhood or from books you've read, are good starters.
         Some kids enjoy stories about characters from their favorite books.Whether you take Little Chick on a walk through the barnyard or Firefighter Bob on an exciting drive through the city, don't worry too

    the setting, characters, or plot.Make your child the main character in a funny adventure that fits his

         When did you lose your first tooth? Who was a favorite teacher of yours? Thinking about Mommy or Daddy as a little kid may excite the imagination.And there's nothing more delightful than a story about the
    time a parent did some tricks and their results.Kids delight in these short experiences of a past that are
    connected to them.
         When you tell stories, you show how to put words together to make meaning.You share something
    new about yourself that your kids may find interesting or exciting and that might be a starting point for
    questions and discussions.Above all, you develop a love of words that kids will have for life.

         George Stephenson's father was a stoker(司炉)of a coal engine near Newcastle upon Tyne in English.When George was fourteen he became his father's assistant at a shilling a day.He loved engines and spent all his spare time studying them.That was in 1795, and in those days all steam engines were stationary
    (固定的). They were used to pull trucks along rails with a chain or rope.
         In 1804, Richard Trevithick built an engine on wheels, and several other engineers built locomotives
    (火车头), as they were called, each one trying to make a better machine than the others.George
    Stephenson himself tried to build a locomotive.
         Stephenson built his first locomotive in 1814, and he kept on trying to improve it.When the first public
    railway was opened between Stochton and Darlington in 1825, it was his engine, called Locomotion, that pulled the first goods train in the world, with a few passengers on board.
         Stephenson's most famous engine was The Rocket, which his son Robert helped to design.In 1829, a
    prize of 500 pounds was offered to the designer of the best locomotive.Five engines took part in the tests
    and The Rocket proved to be the best in every way.It astonished everyone by pulling a train at the
    wonderful speed of 30 miles an hour.With Robert, George Stephenson became the leading railway
    engineer in the world, both for building engines and making railways.English had interesting names in those days, and the very famous one was called Puffing Billy.
    1. George Stephenson's interest in engines started from________.
    A. his love of engines at his time

         Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies
    rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in the sector
    could be jeopardizing future profits if they do not consider the longterm impact of what they are doing
    carefully.
         It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in order to
    ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social structures.The report
    produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
         Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an ecofriendly
    alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to
    destruction of rain forests.Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel.Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects
    and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage
    the environment or cause civil unrest.There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many
    foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and
    people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.
         An analyst and author of the investors'report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but
    they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and enviromental
    impacts thoroughly.There should also be greater measures taken to increase efficiency and to reduce
    demand.
    1. What is the best title of this passage?
    A. Worries about Global Warming
    B. Our World Is Going Green
    C. Biofuel and Environment
    D. New Energy Resource-Biofuels
    2. In the first paragraph there is a concern that________.
    A. biofuel industry isn't booming
    B. the quality of biofuels hasn't improved
    C. biofuels aren't a way for global warming
    D. biofuel producers may get less reward
    3. As is suggested in the passage, some measures should he taken to________.
    A. keep biofuel industry developing soundly
    B. prevent biofuel industry developing slowly
    C. make people realize climate change
