Skin-diving（潜水）is a new sport today . This sport takes you into a wonderful new world . It is like a visit to the moon ! When you are under water , it is easy for you to climb big rocks , because you are no longer heavy .
Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is enough light. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole（北极）is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere（半球）. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
（ ）6.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.
　 A. both day and night B. day 　　 C. neither（既不）day nor night D. night
（ ）7. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by__________ of the earth.
　 A. the pushing B. the pulling C. the spinning D. the passing
（ ）8. At the equator day is as long as night ________.
　　 A. sometimes B. never C. usually D. always
（ ）9. When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ______ sunlight.
　　 A. less B. more C. all D. no
（ ）10. When it is winter in China, ________.
　　 A. the USA is tilted toward the sun 　　 B. the South Pole is tilted away from the sun
　　 C. the North Pole is tilted toward the sun 　　 D. the North Pole is tilted away from the sun

六、任务型阅读
Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork．It can make you confident when you are studying．But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes．
If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard，that’s great．You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class．Different teachers do things differently. For example，some teachers may focus on(关注)lots of dates and facts in class，but they only write the important ones on the blackboard．Other teachers may not write anything down，but they may repeat them．
Don’t try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points．Some students really learn better with the help of these notes．
Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you’ve missed．If your teacher speaks too
fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class．
Comparing(对比)your notes with your classmates’can be good for your learning．It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.
Note-taking also needs organization．Keep notes for each subject in one place，so that you can find everything easily when a test comes．
Good note-taking takes time．If you decide to recopy your notes every evening，you’11 surely have less time to watch TV．But you’ll save time in the coming test.
根据上面短文内容填空。
1．Note-taking can help you _______ all your schoolwork and _______ when you are studying．
2．Different teachers do things differently．Some of them 1ike to tell their students many dates and facts but they only _______on the blackboard；others may repeat them instead of ___________．
