A lot of earthquakes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) happen in the world every year. Why do earthquakes happen Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates (板块). The plates move very slowly. Sometimes they stop and don’t move for a long time. When some of the earth’s plates move suddenly, an earthquake happens.
Many earthquakes happ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en under the sea. Sometimes they happen near mountains. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth.
During an earthquake, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even break open. Houses fall. People are killed or hurt. Sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyed.
Can we do som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ething to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show“earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes.
In the future, scie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntists will be able to predict (预言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can tell us what to do and how to do it as well.

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people work so many hours Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

The tittle b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased.
Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn't sing any more. Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy! He became better and better each day.

For this special ceremony, the four-foot tall robot named I-Fairy wore flowers around her head. I-Fairy’s eyes flashed colored lights as she pronounced the couple man-and-wife and asked the groom to kiss the bride. The wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to the company that built I-Fairy.
A robot might ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seem like an unusual choice(选择)to lead a wedding, but if you knew the couple you would think I-Fairy was the perfect choice. That’s because the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works for the company that built I-Fairy. The newly married couple hopes their wedding will encourage more uses for robots. They hope their wedding will give people ideas about ways in which they might use robots to do “everyday things” in their lives in the near future.

Lightning(闪电)is s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hocking, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes(袭击)every day in the world-that’s thirty strikes every second.
Lightning can also be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade. American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times!
So, why does ligh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tning strike Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)together, and cause atmospheric(大气层的)changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge(静电电荷). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans. About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.
Lightning is certai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nly not something to toy with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Trees attract lightning. Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease.
( )11. Lightning strikes ________.
A. happen three ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )billion times each day B. will start when there are big fires

It is true that peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地)，either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
( )16. People with little education usually _______.
A. spend a long tim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )est years choose jobs D. have fewer chances to get a good job
( )17. The earliest education was probably to __________.
A. make a ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
( )18. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ _______” in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B.崭新的 C. 公平的 D. 全面的
( )19. It is expe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cted that educated people will be able to _________.
A. accept education as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a way of living B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eir abilities to make plays D. learn subjects like language and math
( )20. The passage mainly tells us that _________.
A. education ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )should make a man improve B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le to get better paying jobs D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

Hawaii has always bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.
About two thousand ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. So lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the scenery (自然景色) in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time, taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing.

Beijing, China
The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-screen maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese culture. For example,on the walls of a few stations of Line 8,there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain(青花瓷）.

Hold your head up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) high I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. from then on, my injured, sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.

Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that saying.
As a child, I thought mun meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, People liked me.
In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mun and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance（外貌）.”
My mum's love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident（自信的） but also to have deep compassion（同情）for others.

Dolphins (海豚) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are not fish. They are mammals (哺乳动物）. They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they aren’t the same as almost all land animals. Their brains are as big as men's and they live a long life一at least 20 or 30 years.
Like some anima ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ls, dolphins use some sounds to help them find their ways around．They also use sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They don’t use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaws (下颚).
It’s strange ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903, a passenger on a boat with the name of “The Penguin” shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat “The Penguin”.
Today, some people sti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll kill dolphins, but more people in the world protect them.
( ) 1. Dolphins are not only fish but also mammals.

　　Almost every C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.
　　A CCTV program,　N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ews One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200million people for a year.
　　Do we have too ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) much food Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

　　Luckily, a number ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

“What is success ” M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
“Success is riding in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.
Mr Gruber smiled, but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”
“How about be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing able to provide for your family ” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
“Now we’re getting clo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ser,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”
“Getting everythin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.
Mr Gruber sighed. “ I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”
“Getting everything yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u need, but some of what you want ” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
“Quite right!” Mr Gru ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”
“What does this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have to do with business ” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.
“Well, Tom, thin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”
“What if I don’t have a family ” he continued to be difficult.
“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”
“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.
“Then he needs to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
“So in the next nine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”
Tom rubbed his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending ”

The little boy pushed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and pulled, but every time he thought he had made some progress, the stone tipped (倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy tried his best, but his only reward was to have the stone roll back.
Finally the boy cried. All that time the boy’s father watched him from his living room window. At the moment tears fell, his father came to the boy and the sandbox. Gently but surely he said, “son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had ”The boy said sadly, “But I did, daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had!” “No, son,” corrected the father.” “ you didn’t ask me.” With that, the father reached down, picked up the stone and removed it into sandbox.
Do you have “ston ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es” in your life that need to be removed Are you discovering that you are too weak to lift them There is ONE who is always ready to give us the strength we need. Isn’t it funny how we try so hard to do things on our own

What do see when y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou look at abstract(抽象) art？Does it make sense to you Does it look like anything Is it supposed to
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours(his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist(立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.
After a lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn’t understand it.
Kandinsky, another ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artist like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the surrealists(超现实主义者)， were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.
There are sti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

Life is full of sur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )prises and you never know how things will turn out.
Sir John Gurdon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持不懈) can lead.
At the age of 15 in 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is that we will, in the end , understand everything about how cells actually work., ” Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.
In 2006, Gurdon’s wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample (样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using the technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”
