We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
★Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don抰 forget to call 119 for help.

How is it that some people manage to get up at 5:30 am to exercise? We have picked some lifestyle changes you can make to help you become the person who wants to get out of bed as planned.
旹at right the night before.
The foods you eat in the evening will affect how you feel when you go to the gym."If you ate meat and bread at 9 o'clock last night, chances are that you're going to wake up feeling tired and lazy, " says Noah Neiman, a trainer at Barry's Bootcamp. Eat vegetables and healthy fats so you wake up feeling dynamic, not tired or lazy. "Just be sure to finish up at least 90 minutes before you go to bed, " says Leslie Bonci, founder of Active Eating Advice. "This gives your stomach some time to digest the food so it's not working while you're trying to take a sleep."
昅ake yourself go to bed earlier.
It'll be easier to get out of bed in the morning if you've slept 7 to 8 hours. What does that mean exactly? "The body has an internal circadian rhythm(内部循环规律). If you do not disrupt(扰乱)it, it will make waking up in the morning much easier, " explains Joe Holder, a coach. Limit mobile phone, computer and TV use before bedtime so the blue light that these devices give off doesn't affect your sleep.
?Have a workout friend.
Ask around梱ou probably have a friend who either already gets up in the morning to work out or wants to start doing it. Make plans to meet him at the gym or a class. It'll be less difficult for you to get up when you know someone is waiting for you.
24. What does the underlined word "dynamic" in the second paragraph mean?
A. Energetic. B. Nervous. C. Puzzled. D. Bored.
25. Which of the following is a healthy habit?
A. Having as much sleep as possible.
B. Stop eating right before bedtime.
C. Eating meat and bread before 9:00 pm.
D. Eating vegetables and healthy fats for supper.
26. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. 7 to 8 hours' sleep every day is not enough.
B. Mobile phones shouldn't be taken into the bedroom.
C. Having enough sleep can help you get out of bed in the morning.
D. We should make changes to the internal circadian rhythm regularly.
27. How can a workout friend help you according to the last paragraph?
A. By making you want more friends.
B. By making you get up more easily.
C. By making a plan for you to work out.

C
When International aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure(确保) that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake(承担) to direct the distribution of aid. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute (分配) aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, 揋ive me a fish and I eat for a day; teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime. If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant(设备) or the administration (管理) of a school, could be useful for countries which are about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary(短暂的) or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and they must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
28.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?
A. By solving the cost problems.
B. By setting up a body of devoted people in ever country.
C. By solving the transportation problems.
D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
29. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?
A. Providing food is vital(至关重要的). B. Learning to fish is helpful.
C. Teaching skills is important. D. Looking after others is important.
30. Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?
A. A medical team. B. An exchange program.
C. A water purification plant. D. Financial support.
31. What can we infer about international aid from the passage?
A. It is facing difficulties.
B. It is unnecessary during normal times.
C. It should be given in the form of materials.
D. It has gained support from all developed countries.
D
Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because its easy you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn抰 need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we reused all our plastic bottles, we wouldn抰 need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don抰 reuse much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the rubbish bin, stop and think. If you reuse it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn抰 a rubbish bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.
32. What is not mentioned about bottled water in the first paragraph?
A. It抯 healthy. B. It抯 clean. C. It抯 easy. D. It抯 expensive.
33. Plastic products are made from________ .
A. energy B. oil C. rubbish D. plants
34. Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?
A. To reuse them. B. To make a piggy bank.
C. To make a plant pot. D. To drop them into the river.
35. The last sentence in this passage tells us ____________.
A. To make a different life, you抎 better go outside.
B. To look different, you抎 better wear green clothes.
C. To protect the environment, you can do something.
D. To go green, you should use plastic products.

Afriend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes梕ven his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, 揑f John didn't have his head tied on，he would forget that too！” Since Smith was a professor at a well?known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn't that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say，but just very absent?minded.
One hot summer day, professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three?hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However，by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.
The professor's wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
揙h，my dear，I forgot the name of the town.”
“What? You forgot the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name！Now I'll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don't forget where you put it.”
Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was surprised to see him outside the house for the third time.
Paragraph 1:
“What is the matter now？”asked his wife.


Paragraph 2：
Hearing the cry，out rushed their neighbors，trying to find out what had happened.

Possible Version
“What is the matter now?” asked his wife. “I just can’t remember why I come back and where I am supposed to be going on such a hot summer day，”replied the professor. However, the real reason was that he forgot where he had left his children. Sensing something wrong, Mrs Smith didn't believe his words, because whenever he told a lie, he would blink his eyes usually quickly. “Tell me the truth，” ordered his wife.“As you told me，I didn't forget where I put the name of that town, but I forget the station where I left our children！” whispered the professor，his voice trembling.“What a bad memory！” shouted the wife.
Hearing the cry，out rushed their neighbors，trying to find out what had happened. A fight between the couple was about to start when the professor’s cell phone began to ring. His friend，whose patience had worn thin, phoned to complain.The professor apologized，got into his car and drove away，leaving behind a bunch of people outside the house. Being afraid that he would make matters worse again，Mrs Smith decided to follow him，who then called a taxi. By the time she caught up with her husband, the children were already back home safe and sound.
