We are always using body language in our daily communication. When we talk with each other, we may use body language. For example, in the USA, people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, human beings (人类) are not the only ones who use body language. Animals also use body language and facial expressions (面部表情) to tell each other how they feel and what they think.
When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up and its ears will wide open. When it is angry, it will look straight at you. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “ Watch out!” To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks(鼻子). Dolphins(海豚) live in groups and like to show each other their feelings. An angry dolphin will sometimes slap(拍) its tail(尾巴) on the water. A happy dolphin will play with its friends, making small jumps into the air. Not only humans but also animals can use body language to communicate, but the things they “say” to each other are different.

Last weekend we found a really beautiful shell(壳) while my friend and I were playing volleyball at the beach. He picked it up and said it was his. In fact, I saw it first. I was so angry that I thought about hitting him. However, “ Violence (武力) is the worst!” came to my mind. Our parents and teachers often tell us not to fight. I didn’t fight but talked with him instead. If two adults use violence towards each other in order to win, it’s quite wrong. If one injured the other, he would be caught. If one killed the other, he would be put into prison(监狱) for years, even for the rest of his life.
Now when two countries have different thoughts, they often use violence and fight a war between the countries. It’s rather bad! Thousands of people have been killed and injured at war. And it brings much trouble to the world.A war is rather violence. Adults will say they are fighting wars to solve problems and make peace. But can wars really “ make peace”? I suppose not. Guns(枪) can’t create love and care. Why can't adults use their brains(脑)? They might say things are not so easy. However, why are they doing so? Adults are our models! Can wars make peace?

Do you like sports? If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even if it's on weekends. However, you don't have to worry now because a "sunshine sports" program was started by the Ministry (部)of Education .
It suggests students around the country have an hour of sports every day. The difference is that students will be able to do any sport they please. The idea is to make students happy and keep them healthy at the same time.
Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip rope together. "We have a good time. " said Han, "Playing is better than having classes. "Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. "It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom.

Wu and other students have been jogging for 40 minutes every morning. " It's tiring. " said Wu, " But we do feel healthier. " " We hope we can do what we want.

There are about 80,000,000 mines under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003, APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.
The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats were about 75 cm long and weighed about 1.35 kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.
In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were no longer afraid of people and the things around them. Then they were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. “The training isn’t easy，” said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. “You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals.”
After nine months’ training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and scratched the ground to tell the deminers that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had taken two deminers a day to clear a 200㎡ minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.
The rats and the deminers saved thousands of lives, “The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000㎡ of land safe. They are heroes，” said Bart Weeqens, the head of the APOPO.
( )1. The APOPO trained the rats to search for ________.
A. children B. animals　　
C. mines D. bananas
( )2. While training the rats, the trainers have to be ________.
A. patient B. clever
C. brave D. serious
( )3. How long did the training last?
A. Two hours. B. One day.　
C. Four weeks. D. Nine months.
( )4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Each day about 200 people were killed or hurt by mines.
B. The APOPO started to train the rats in January 2004.
C. The trainers gave the rats food after they smelt out a mine.

At what age should a child start taking music lessons? This is a question that many parents are confused about. To answer this question, we need to know if and when the child is ready.
First, parents should watch and find out if their children are interested in music. A piano is fascinating to children that like music. When they sit at the piano and start playing, they always enjoy themselves. To those who have no interest in it, however, the piano just makes a noise. So it is never a wise idea to make children do anything that they don’t like.
It is very important to communicate with your children. Explain to them that if they want to take music lesson they should be willing to learn, study and practice. Tell them they may get tired of practicing the same piece again and again. But practice make perfect and it does help them a lot in the long run.
Finally, sometimes the children aren’t confident in themselves, so parents also need to encourage them and support their learning..

Sitting on exercise balls brings more than a smile to students and teachers.
Some fourth-graders at Conrad Weiser West Elementary School in Womelsdorf love their new chairs—probably because they’re not really chair at all.
The kids are sitting on the air-filled balls. But different from those just for exercise, these have small legs that keep them from rolling. Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By using exercise balls instead of common chairs, teachers find students’ posture(姿势) and attention improved.
Dotti Pownall, a fifth-grader teacher in West Virginia, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them，” she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80 percent thought sitting on the balls helped them concentrate(专注)better.
“Besides, they’re fun，” says Pownall.
According to WittFitt, a company that has sold balls to more than 200 schools, they can improve kids’ posture and classroom behavior.
Exercise ball chairs are getting popular in classroom, from preschool to college. Some adults(成人) even use them at work.
Lisa Witt felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs that she started WittFitt. She said the company not only encourages the use of balls but also educates teachers and students on how to use them. “We sell balls in 24 states in America, three provinces in Canada and Japan，” says Witt.

I still remember my first night as a young policeman.
It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city.

The driver was quite drunk(喝醉) and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.
Three months later, I saw the driver in court and found him to be a normal person. He was sorry for his actions. In the end, he was put into the prison for several years.

Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time. But the e-schoolbag will change everything.
It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also, it is as small as a usual textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips that are as small as a stamp. The students can read the text page by page on the “screen”, take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers. All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press the button.
It is said that e-schoolbags have been put into use in some Chinese middle schools. In 2012, some students in Shanghai started to use e-schoolbags in the new term. Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken. Some say it is not good to students’ eyes. But only time will tell us all.

Hi, everyone, I’m Jane. Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket in the front, I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, and to anywhere.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the snow is heavy. Of course, you must be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem. One day I went shopping with my friends. But when I came back, I found that my bike’s front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks(锁).
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all the sitting down is making him fat and lazy. I like riding on my bicycle because I can exercise a lot and get much fresh air, and this makes me feel much younger.

57. It’s convenient to use a bicycle because you can ride it to anywhere and needn’t worry about __________.

When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure(粪肥), to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows aren’t bothered，” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester(化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas(甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators(发电机)．
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
( )1. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ________.
A. make electricity B. produce fertilizer
C. build their farm D. feed the cows
( )2. How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
A. Marie Audet does the work.
B. The job is done by machine.
C. The cows lift the cow wastes.
D. Bacteria get to work on them.
( )3. According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
A. The power of moving water.
B. The heat of burning coal.
C. The power of sunlight.
D. The heat of the methane gas
( )4.The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ________.
A. reducing B. saving　　
C. recycling D. changing
( )5. What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
A. To introduce a new way of making electricity.
B. To explain how a new energy works better.
C. To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farm.
D. To explain the reasons for green house effect.

根据短文内容,完成下列表格,每空一词。
Some people succeed, while others may not. This is because some people have certain qualities, which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic（乐观）. If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as people who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation（动机） is a key to getting success. If you do not have an aim, then you won’t work hard and put your performance under the microscope（显微镜） to make sure that every detail is right.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have got success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have got amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is equally important if you want to be successful because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility（责任）. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!
