　　Some people won't eat any food that comes from animals. They won't eat meat. People who don't eat meat are called vegetarians(素食者). Their diet is mostly vegetables, fruits and grains. They say this diet is healthier than a diet that includes meat.

　　Some vegetarians say it is wrong to kill animals for food. Some people are vegetarians because of their religions(宗教信仰) and what they believe in.

　　People who do eat meat say that humans have always been meat-eaters. They say our teeth are the teeth of meat-eating animals(咀嚼) and are the right sort of teeth for chewing and grinding(嚼啐) up meat. Early man hunted wild animals for food. Wild animals hunted each other and Early man for food!

　　Meat-eaters say that eating meat is a good way of eating the protein(蛋白質(zhì)) needed to build up muscles, bones and other parts of the body. Meat has important vitamins(維生素) we need to be healthy.

　　People who do eat some meat as part of their balanced diet can be sure they are eating all the things they need. Vegetarians have to make sure they eat the proteins they are missing in their diet if they do not eat meat.

The 1 wild dogs were trained by 2 in Europe about 10,000 years ago. These first “dogs” were not like 3 we have now. They may have been small wolves. These dogs often came near humans to 4 some food. Some of the young dogs were adopted (收養(yǎng)) by people and grew up with them.

　　Humans believed the 5 were a help to them in many ways. The dogs helped them to hunt (狩獵). They could smell and hear danger 6 people could. They helped keep people 7 on cold nights. So it was 8 to raise the dogs.Now, there are many different kinds of dogs 9 they may look quite different from each other. Dog trainers think there are more than 400 different kinds in the world. The number keeps in creasing with new kinds.

　　Since those early days, humans and dogs have always been together. We should 10 them from now on because they are really our friends.

Parts of China had the heaviest rainfall this year in its history, killing more than 400 people. Some 770 people have been killed by flooding in South Asia. And it is a similar story in the world.

More than 50 people were killed in Sudan. Hundreds had to leave homes in northern England as the water rose. In Colombia, houses disappeared under rising floodwaters and some 50,000 people had to move to safe places.

    As people fought the worst floods in history, experts warn such things may become more often because of climatic change and that lessons still need to be learnt to reduce the losses(減少).

Floods may leave fewer deaths than earthquakes, wars or tsunamis(海嘯) ，and the world pay less attention to it, but they can cause similar damage(毀壞).

    Climate change could make the problem worse. Many scientists say the world is warming because of carbon emissions（碳排出量）from human activities, making weather more unpredictable(不可測(cè)).

    Experts say that flood defenses(防洪) have made people feel no safety, especially in the most developed countries. "With floods, the first thing to learn is that you cannot stop them," said Professor Graham Chapman at Lancaster University. "You have to have a society that learns to live with them."

    In 2005 Hurricane (颶風(fēng))Katrina visited New Orleans, USA, and caused great losses. It showed that even a developed country like the United States could not face the flood if it was not fully prepared.

"Flood plains(平原)are not bad places to live," said Nottingham University's Thorne. "Most of the world's great civilizations (文明) grew up along rivers -- people are always going to live there. But you have to have plans for flooding."

1. From the first two paragraphs we know that ____.

A. there were serious floods all over the world this year

B. China had the heavier rainfall than other countries this year

C. many people in England were killed because the water rose

D. worldwide floods caused deaths in most countries this year

2. Experts think that lessons about floods still need learning because_______.

B. more floods may appear

C. floods will cause similar damage   

D. floods will be the main losses

3. According to Professor Graham Chapman, flood defenses________.

A. can keep people safe    

B. can influence climate change

C. are not able to stop floods 

D. let people pay less attention to floods

4. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans caused great losses partly because___.

A. the United States is a developed country

B. Americans didn't learn flooding lessons.

C. people knew nothing about flooding

D. people didn't prepare fully to face Hurricane Katrina

5.What did Thorn think of plains along rivers?

A. It’s dangerous to live there       

B. It is comfortable to live and work there.

C. The places fit for humans to live   

D. They are centers of culture in the world

    We have always been interested in the moon．2000 years ago people a1ready knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year．At that time，everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky．

    When scientists could use telescopes(望遠(yuǎn)鏡)to study the moon more closely，their ideas began to change．They could see the moon was made of rocks．Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth．This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet(行星)that had been caught in the earth’s gravity(引力)millions of years earlier

    In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied．Much to their surprise，scientists found that，except for water，the moon and the earth were made of the same thing．Once again new ideas were needed for this new information．

    After years of study，most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth．They believe very early in its history，maybe 4 million years ago，something about the size of Mars(火星)hit Earth．This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet．These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon．

    In the future，even though our ideas about the moon may change again，we will still be interested in it．

1．Now，we’re sure       

    A．Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth．

    B．Moon was once a part of Earth．

    C．Moon moves around Earth and it's the only satellite of Earth．

D．Moon was once a planet caught in Earth’s gravity．

2．In 1969 there is a big event，that is       ．

    A．humans found no water in Moon rocks

    B．scientists made out a modern spaceship

    C．scientists invented an advanced telescope

D，humans left their footprints on Moon

3．What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?

    A．Why people are interested in the moon．

    B．How ideas about the moon have changed over time．

    C．Where the moon came from in the past．

    D．That people have finally learned the truth about the moon．

4．Before l 969 most scientists thought the moon was        ．

    A．part of the earth billions of years earlier

    B．older than the earth

    C．a(chǎn) planet caught by the earth’s gravity

    D．made of the same things as the earth

5．From this passage we can learn that          ．

    A．scientists in the past were not clever

    B．the earth was once part of the moon

    C．new information brings new ideas

    D．we now know everything about the moon

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
【小題1】The author thinks music__________.

Singles Day (光棍節(jié))falls on every November 11th, and as the name suggests, this holiday is one specially for people who are still living the single life. It’s surprising that China is the only country in the world that has set up a special day for singles to celebrate(慶祝) their lives. To find out more about this celebration, read on.
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong（麻將）.
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the 'Sitiao' card. And that day happened to be November 11th. In order to remember the day, they called it Singles Day.
For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao, which means the four "ones" in "11.11". Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. So they take part in 'blind date' parties , trying to find someone they love and many people choose to marry on this day. Besides the meaning 'single', the four 'ones' of the date can also mean 'only one' as in 'the only one for me.' Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only 'one' in their heart.
