If you are outside, get into the open, stay into the open, stay away from buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you.
If you are driving, move the car out of traffic and stop, avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses. Try to get clear of trees, light posts, signs and power lines.
If you are in a crowded public place, avoid panicking and do not rush for the exit. Stay low and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.

Earthquake Safety Tips
On May 12, 2008, a big earthquake hit Wenchuan, Sichuan Province. Thousands of people died and many more were injured. Why are there earthquakes?
Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. The surface of the earth has many plate pieces (板块). These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
Scientist are working hard to find out more about earthquakes. They try to predict (预测) them, but it's very hard.
Do you know how to get ready for an earthquake? Do you know what to do during an earthquake? Here are some tips you should follow.
What to do before an earthquake
Keep a supply of food，water and some things for first aid. You should make sure you have two bottles of water, a packet of biscuits (饼干), a clean towel (毛巾), a few band-aids (创可贴), a radio and a flashlight (电筒) at home.
What to do during an earthquake
If you are inside：
★ Stay where you are. Quickly move under a strong desk, or along a wall. This will protect you from falling things.
★ Don't stand near windows.
★ Turn off your gas, lights and water.
★ Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. If you are in a lift, get out as quickly as possible.
If you are outside：
★ Don't stand near buildings. Things may fall on you.
★ Lie on the ground until the shaking stops.
★ If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
1．The reason why an earthquake happens is that ________.
A. the surface of the earth is thin
B. the plates of the surface are moving slowly
C. two pieces of the earth's surface move past each other
D. there are too many people on the earth
答案与解析　C　从第二段对地震成因的介绍可知，地震的发生是因为地球两个板块的相互运动。C项正确。
2．During an earthquake, you should do the following except ________.
A. turn off the lights and gas
B. hide under a strong desk
C. make sure you have some food and water
D. get into a lift
答案与解析　D　从What to do during an earthquake一栏中第四条“Don't get into a lift during an earthquake”可知，D项是不可取的。D项为正确答案。
3．You must protect yourself in an earthquake by ________.
A. keeping yourself away from falling things
B. lying on the floor of the room until the shaking stops

Make Your Brain Smarter
You know that eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong. __1__ Studies show that when the brain is forced to do something new, it creates new neural pathways (神经通路). The more pathways you have, the faster you can think and the better memory you will have. Here are six tips toward a smarter brain.
● Limit your TV viewing
Watching an average TV show requires very little brain power and brings the same result as ignoring physical exercise. __2__ If you watch TV, choose something educational and informative.

As you put things in your shopping cart, total everything in your head. See how close you get to the actual total.
● Read often
As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren't familiar.

● Learn a new language
Acquiring a new language involves different learning methods. Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems in later years.
● Use your non-dominant (非惯用的) hand
If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. __5__
So get in the habit of challenging your brain, and make yourself smarter!
A. Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do.
B. Doing habitual things in a new way can make your brain create new neural networks.
C. But did you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter?

Martin Luther King. Jr. was born in Georgia in 1929. When he was still a boy, Martin learned that his people, the black Americans, were often treated differently from most of their fellow Americans. Many could not attend good schools, get good jobs, or live in nice houses because of the color of their skin. Martin knew that in a free country this was wrong. He wanted to help his black brothers, so he decided to go to school to get good education. He became a minister (牧师) in Montgomery, Alabama. This is where Martin Luther King's “peaceful fight” first began. Dr. King held the belief that the only way people could win their rights was to remain peaceful, even in face of danger. Later Martin Luther King, became a famous lawyer and a great leader of black people who fight for equal rights. In 1963，his efforts led to the Great March (大游行) on Washington, where King delivered his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. Here he raised public concern for the civil rights (民权) movement. Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his achievements and courage.
The whole nation mourned when the terrible event happened on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Luther King. Jr. was shot. The man who had preached (倡导) nonviolence (非暴力) died violently. But Dr. King's dream can never die. Many Americans are still struggling to make that dream come true. The following is part of his famous speech delivered during the Great March：
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out (略去) important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars！”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians (政客) often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries to get another term. One of her opponents (竞争对手) says, “During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs！” That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had increased two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of cheating happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1．We may infer (推测) that the author believes people should ________.
A. buy lottery tickets if possible
B. make use of half-truths
C. be careful about what they are told
D. not trust the Yucky Company
答案与解析　C　从第一段可知，有时省略信息的事实也可以给人一个错误的信息画面。C项正确。
2．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to cheat?
A. One B. Two
C. Three D. Four
答案与解析　C　文章列举了三个例子：买彩票、史密斯政府的失业问题和广告误导。C项正确。
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
答案与解析　D　从倒数第二段可知，虚假广告犯法，误导消费者并不犯罪，九个医生为Yucky公司工作，他们的言论不能证明Yucky药可以很好治疗牙痛，排除A、C两项。第四段最后一句可排除B项；根据第五段最后一句可知，D项正确。
4．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. He's really a big loser!
B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D. It's against the law to make false statements.
答案与解析　B　文章第一段就是文章的中心。B项正确。

Friends play a very important part in everyone's life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity (成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.
Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These people are not really friends. They are only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. They only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many “so-called friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends into the real or the “false”．
True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.
1．“So-called” friends refer to ________.
A. fair-weather friends
B. those who want to benefit from you
C. the friends who are on the surface only
D. all of the above
答案与解析　D　从第二段可知，A、B、C三项都是“所谓的朋友”。D项正确。
2．Which of the following is NOT true?
A. You should tell true friends from false ones.
B. True friendship is too difficult to find.
C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.
D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.
答案与解析　B　文章第三段第二句“They are also difficult to find.”和B项所述困难程度上有差别。B项为正确选项。
3．The proper title for this article may be “________”．
A. Friendliness B. What friends like
C. True Friends D. So-called Friends
答案与解析　C　文章重点在讲真正的朋友。C项正确。

It's hard when a best friend isn't around — maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. __1__ You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. __2__
Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. __3__ Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here？” in the lunchroom. When you're at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too？” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. __4__ Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help — and pretty soon, you'll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
__5__ But when you see each other, you can share something you didn't have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
A. What's right for me?

“The rise and fall of a language is closely connected with that country's economic (经济的) strength and development potential (潜力)．” Rhodri Jones, the English 2000 manager of the ELT group of the British Council said.
An expert who has given many lectures on the future of English said the economic boots (快速发展) in Asia would raise (提高) the position of the Chinese and Hindi languages. Therefore, the English language is facing a serious problem. Where will English turn in the next fifty years or the century?
The recently introduced book from Britain “Future of English” might give people concerned with their question some enlightenments (启发). The book helps to help English teachers, planners, managers and decision makers with a professional interest in the development of English worldwide. With the book translated into Chinese and to be published soon, the book might be brought to wider sphere (范围) of people.
“From the book, we learn many facts about the English language, and we may be able to predict (预测) its future after reading it.” said Dorothy Humphrey, who used to be a senior English teacher for the British Council.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat (平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: They measure distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “It's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it？” They don't know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don't know.”
People in Yucatan think that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere — in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!
1．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. never carry a map for travel
B. there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
C. there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D. New Yorkers often say, “I have no idea，” but people in Yucatan, Mexico, never say this
答案与解析　C　文章列举了日本、美国中西部、洛杉矶、希腊、纽约等地问路的回答方式，可知C项最符合文意。
2．The passage says, “In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions.” The word“landmarks”means ________.
A. building names
B. street names
C. hotels, marks and bus stops
D. buildings or places which are easily recognized
答案与解析　D　landmarks是“地标”的意思。从文章第一段末句中的“the big hotel”，“a fruit market”，“the bus stop”可知， landmarks不是建筑名、街道名。
3．In which place do people tell distance by means of time?
A. Japan.
B. American Midwest.
C. Los Angeles, California.
D. Greece.
答案与解析　C　从第三段可知，在加州的洛杉矶人们用时间来告诉你路程。
4．In the passage, ________ countries are mentioned by the writer.
A. seven B. four
C. eight D. five
答案与解析　B　文中提到了Japan, America, Greece, Mexico四个国家。
5．Which of the following is WRONG?
A. Travelers can learn about people's customs by asking questions about directions.
B. A person's body language can help you understand directions.
C. People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions by means of time.
D. People in different places always give directions in the same way: They use street names.
答案与解析　D　D项明显不正确。其他三项可在文中找到依据。
Ⅵ.短文改错
Once, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There's a bum (流浪汉) in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb.

Ⅵ.阅读理解
I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.
In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Non-imported (非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized. Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.
When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.
When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”
