You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.
"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.
To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.
"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
(?? ?)4. The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.
A. to set the air conditioning cooler
B. to check the use of energy in public places
C. to stop people using air conditioning
D. to make sure that more energy will be produced
(?? ?)5. Beijing will use ___________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.
A. 1200 B. 800 C. 400 D. 133
(?? ?)6. Which of the following years' winters were all warm in China?
A. 1984-1988. B. 1999-2003. C. 2002-2006. D. 2005-2009.
(?? ?)7. According to Liu Qianguang, ___________.
A. there are few ways to protect the environment
B. it's difficult to find good ways to save energy
C. it's easy for one to do something good for the environment
D. it's not easy for one to do something good for the environment

Many daily American expressions are based (以……为基础) on colours.
Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to represent heat. When they say “red-hot”, that means they are very angry about something. Loud music is popular with many people. Some may say that such music is red-hot.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say “I’m in the pink” when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink colour that shows that they are in good health. Blue is a cool colour. The old Blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is “blue” is very sad.
The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has an upset stomach may say “I’m feeling a bit green”. A person on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves can be said “look very green”. Sometimes a person may be very jealous because he does not have anything as nice as someone has, like a fast new car. That person may say “I’m green with envy”. Some people are green with envy because someone has more dollars or “greenbacks”. Dollars are called greenbacks in American slangs because that is the colour of the bottom of their bank notes.
The colour black is used often in expressions. People may say “it’s a black day” when everything goes wrong on that day.
In some cases, colours describe a situation. Blackouts were common during the World War II. All the lights in a city were turned off at night to make it difficult for enemy planes to find their aims in the dark.
(?? ?)8. What does “I’m in the pink” mean?
A. I’m sad. B. I’m happy. C. I’m healthy. D. I’m worried.
(?? ?)9. We describe a day on which everything goes wrong as __________.
A. a red day B. a green day C. a pink day D. a black day
(?? ?)10. What does the underlined word, “blackouts” mean in Chinese?
A. 漆黑的夜晚 B. 穿黑衣服外出 C. 灯火管制 D. 去掉黑色
(?? ?)11. Which of the following sentences is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. People in the USA use the colour black to express heat. B. If you are blue, you are very happy.
C. Blue and red are both warm colours. D. If someone is very rich, you may be green with envy.
D
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!
If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
(?? ?)12. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A. Because it’s very hot in summer. B. Because you eat too much for lunch.
C. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
D. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
(?? ?)13. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?
A. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.
B. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
C. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.
(?? ?)14. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 2:30 pm.
D. Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later.
(?? ?)15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Just For a Rest. B. All For a Nap.
C. A Special Sleep Pattern. D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate

六、任务型阅读（每空一词）
Communication?here means that people talk with each other about what they know, think and feel. We can learn a lot from good communication in our daily life. Part of the communication is unspoken. We sometimes show our feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Some qualities can make good communication, including physical appearance, ability to speak, pleasant voice, how to hold the interest of others, and so on.
? What should we do so that our communication will be effective(有效的)? Here are suggestions.
? Firstly, you should be yourself. Successful people never change personal character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a talk with their close friends or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.
? Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or more, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eyes contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are relaxed. Smiling is important. The best kind of smile and eye contact are gentle and comfortable.
You should also gather information about other people. If you attend a meeting or an interview, don’t immediately (立即) start throwing your ideas. Stop for a second. Know what’s going on there. What’s the mood of the others — are they down, up, happy? Do they want to learn from you, or do they show any interest? If you can feel what’s happening to others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.
? The fourth suggestion is that you get your energy up. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about it. You walk calmly through the doorway. Pay attention to the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when you sincerely believe something. Always be confident. The audience may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.
? Lastly, I would like to remind that you should not be too serious. That is to lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say “I” too often? Do you complain often? If you answered yes to even one of the two questions, you need to be more relaxed.
How to make our??? 1 ??effective
Suggestions What you should do What you shouldn’t do
Be yourself Always be the same and communicate with your whole being. Don’t change your character in? 2 ??situations.
Use your eyes and smile Make direct eye contact. Present a?? 3? ?smile. Don’t break eye contact. You shouldn’t look in other directions?? 4 ??of facing them.
