From
a
plane
we
can
see
the
fields,
cities,
mountains
or
seas
below.
If
we
go
into
space,
we
see
more
and
more
of
the
earth．People
and
man-made
satellites
have
been
sent
out
into
space
to
look
at
the
earth
carefully
and
people
have
learnt
more
about
the
earth
in
the
last
few
years．
The
sea
looks
very
beautiful
when
the
sun
is
shining
on
it．But
it
can
be
very
terrible
when
there
is
a
strong
wind．
The
sea
is
very
big．It
nearly
covers
three
quarters
of
the
earth．The
sea
is
also
very
deep
in
some
places．There
is
one
place
and
at
that
place
the
sea
is
about
11
kilometres
deep．The
highest
mountain
in
the
world
is
about
9
kilometres
high．If
that
mountain
was
put
into
the
sea
at
that
place，there
would
be
still
2
kilometres
of
water
above
it![来源Com]
In
most
parts
of
the
sea，there
are
many
kinds
of
fishes
and
plants．Some
live
near
the
top
of
the
sea．Others
live
deep
down．There
are
also
a
lot
of
small
living
things，and
lots
of
fishes
live
by
eating
them．
The
sea
can
be
very
cold．When
people
go
down，the
sea
becomes
colder
and
colder．Only
some
men
can
go
down
into
the
deep
sea．But，in
1970，five
women
scientists
lived
in
the
deep
sea
for
fourteen
days．
(

passage
is________．
A．a
short
story

D．a
report
(

sea
is

beautiful

is
always
very
terrible
when

C．The
highest
mountain
is
in
the
deepest
place
of
the
sea．
D．The
deeper
the
people
go
into
the
sea,

colder
they
will
feel．

living
in
the
deep

better
than

To
most
of
us,
school
means
classes,
teachers,
schedules,
grades
and
tests.
But
for
the
children
at?Sudbury
Valley
School
in
Massachusetts,
school
is
very
different.?
????
Firstly,
there
are
no
lessons.
All
the
children,
aged
between
4
and
19,
do
whatever
they
want.
There
are?no
teachers,
only
"staff
members".
The
idea
behind
this
is
that
you
do
not
need
to
make
children
learn
because
children
want
to
learn
anyway.
"You
do
not
need
to
say
to
a
three-year-old,
'Go
explore
your
environment.'
You
can't
stop
them!"
says
Daniel
Greenberg,
a
founder
of
the
school.
"But
if
you
make
children
do
what
you
want
all
day,
they
will
lose
all
taste
of
learning."
At
Sudbury
Valley
School,
you
will
find?children
talking,
reading,
painting,
cooking,
working
on
computers,
studying
French,
playing
the
piano,?climbing
trees,
or
just
running
around.
Two
boys
spent
three
years
just
fishing!?
????
The
other
way
that
Sudbury
Valley
School
is
different
is
that
the
children
can
decide
the
rules.
Every
week,
there
is
a
school
meeting
where
both
children
and
staff
have
one
vote
(投票)
each-even
the
four-year-olds.
They
decide
the
school
rules,
how
to
spend
the
school
money,
and
even
which
staff
they
want
and
do
not?want
anymore.?
When
the
school
first
opened
in
1968,
people
said
it
would
never
work.
But
today,
the
school
has
200?students,
and
80%
of
its
students
go
on
to
college.
Even
the
two
boys
who
went
fishing
all
the
time
have?successful?careers?today.
One
of
them
is
a
musician
and
the
other
is
a
computer
scientist.

same
age.?
C.
There
are
no
classes
for
the
students.?
D.
There
are
no
rules
in
the
school.

2.
What
do
the
students
do
in
the
school?
They
learn
everything
there
from
the
staff
members.
B.
They
grow
up
there
without
learning
anything.?
C.
They
spend
all
the
time
with
their
parents.?
D.
They
do
whatever
they
are
interested
in.

seems
to
believe
that
children
________.

are
doing

Pleasure
reading
is
the
easiest
way
to
become
a
better
reader
in
English.
Some
students
say
they
don’t
want
to
read
for
pleasure.
They
want
to
spend
their
time
in
doing
some
exercises
on
listening,
grammar
and
new
words.
They
say
pleasure
reading
is
too
easy
and
it
is
not
helpful.
Many
experts
(专家)
say
pleasure
reading
is
very
important
for
learning
English.
Dr
Stephen
Krashen,
a
famous
expert
on
learning
languages,
says
that
pleasure
reading
can
help
students
learn
many
important
things
about
English.
Students
learn
more
grammar
and
more
new
words.
They
can
also
use
excellent
sentences
when
they
do
some
writing.
Dr
Krashen
says
pleasure
reading
helps
each
student
in
a
different
way
because
each
student
has
his
or
her
own
learning
skills.
Pleasure
reading
makes
it
possible
for
each
student
to
learn
what
he
or
she
needs.
Pleasure
reading
is
not
the
same
as
studying.
When
you
read
for
pleasure,
you
can
choose
your
favourite
books,
and
you
don’t
have
to
remember
everything.
You
don’t
have
any
pressure
because
there
are
no
tests
about
it.
In
general,
pleasure
reading
can
help
students:
[]
●
read
faster
in
English;
●
find
examples
of
good
writing
in
English;
●
learn
new
words
and
grammar;
●
know
about
the
English
native
speakers’
reading
habits.
(
)1.
Why
don’t
some
students
like
pleasure
reading?
A.
Because
they
think
it
takes
them
a
lot
of
time.
B.
Because
they
don’t
know
what
to
read.
C.
Because
they
think
it
is
easy
and
unhelpful.
D.
Because
they
think
it
is
difficult
and
boring.

We
are
often
asked
to
make
a
speech
in
life.
Most
of
us
are
afraid
of
it
and
don’t
do
a
good
job.
Here
are
some
simple
steps
to
make
your
speech
a
successful
one.
First
of
all,
find
out
everything
you
can
about
your
subject
and
at
the
same
time
find
out
as
much
as
you
can
about
your
audience(听众).
Who
are
they?
What
do
they
know
about
your
subject?
Put
yourself
in
their
shoes
as
you
prepare
your
speech.
Then
try
to
arrange(安排)
your
material
so
that
your
speech
is
clear
and
easy
to
follow.
Use
as
many
examples
as
possible.
Never
forget
your
audience.
Don’t
talk
over
their
heads
or
talk
down
to
them.
When
you
are
giving
your
speech,
speak
slowly
and
clearly,
look
at
your
audience
and
pause
for
a
few
seconds
from
time
to
time
to
give
your
audience
chances
to
think
over
what
you’ve
said.
Just
remember:
be
prepared,
know
your
subject
and
your
audience,
say
what
you
have
to
say
and
be
yourself
so
that
your
ideas
will
bring
you
and
your
audience
together.
