“What can we do to help Mabel ”asked Harold. Enid thought of her book about the dam (水坝). “We can build a dam! It is like a wall in the river. It can slow down the water. So Mabel can cross back to us safely.”

In northern China during spring, big sandstorm often make trouble for people. Sandstorms usually happen in spring. They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year. People in southern China don't have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from the north of China. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don't get much rain. When there aren't many trees, the ground can't keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes loose. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky. Besides, in northeast China, there lies some vast deserts.
Sandstorms are bad for people's health. If people breathe in too much sand, they will cough or have serious illnesses. Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never come back home. The winds also tear the farmers' houses down.
What can you do to stop sandstorms Here's a piece of advice. Ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring. If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them.

Every year, nearly a million children in the world die because of unintentional injuries（意外伤害）, and the biggest killer is the traffic accident, according to a report from the Worldwide Health Organization.
The report says that traffic accidents, falling into water, fires, falls, and poisoning（中毒）are the five major causes of unintentional injuries. About 830000 children under 18 die and millions of children are injured every year.
The World Health Organization finds that roads are the most dangerous places for children, especially in developing countries. Because children in these countries haven’t learned about the dangers of road traffic, they are often not ready for the new roads that might be built through their villages.
In Asia, deaths are most often caused by bikes. It is usual to see a whole family on one bike in counties such as Vietnam. When they are knocked over, they will be badly injured and some may even die.
In the United States and other Western countries, injuries from road traffic accidents have been cut down through the use of safety seats for children and other safety measures. However, traffic accidents are still a major cause of deadly（致命的） injuries.
41.How many children die from unintentional injuries in the world every year
A.Nearly a thousand. B.A hundred. C.A million. D.About a million.
42.How many kinds of unintentional injuries do we learn from the passage
A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6.
43.Where are the most dangerous places according to the passage
A.Roads. B.Rivers. C.Houses. D.Bikes.
44.From the last paragraph we can learn that________.
A.there are no traffic accidents in the United States
B.traffic is a major cause of injuries in the United States
C.there are ways to cut the number of traffic accidents
D.people can only be injured by traffic accidents
45.The passage mainly tells us that __________.
A.fires are more dangerous than falls and falling into water
B.many children die from unintentional injuries every year
C.developing countries have more traffic accidents
D.unintentional injuries happen only in developing countries

【原文】In China, it is common to see families with only one child. Why is there such a situation That's because China knew a large population may causes a lot of problems. A long time ago, the government started a family planning programme across the country in 1973. The population didn't increase so quickly. Although a large population is still the main problem of China, report shows there are fewer and fewer newborn in recent five years. So in some cities, the local governments change their policies about the family planning. If both the husband and wife are the only child in their families, they can have a second child.
