Have you ever seen the film Traveling Bird? In the film, groups of birds fly high above the sky and cross
the way above snow, rivers, fields, sea and grassland. I'm sure you will love the beautiful picture when you
see the film.
    But you may not feel so good if you have learnt about bird flu (禽流感) from TV or on the Internet. Some
governments had to kill chickens in their cities. A large number of chickens and even some people died in Asia,
and nearly 8,500 birds died in Russia because of bird flu.
    Chickens can get bird flu from the feces (糞便) of the passing birds. It is not so difficult to control (控制)
the chickens in cages or on farms. But it is much more difficult to control the birds in the sky. 
    Luckily, scientists have found a medicine for bird flu. But the virus (病毒) can change easily and quickly.
So bird flu is still a serious problem we must face.

                                                 Hong Kong Bans (禁止) Smoking 
         Do you plan to go to Hong Kong Disneyland with your family? If your dad smokes, you must ask him
to be careful. From January 1, 2007, Hong Kong bans smoking in most public places.
        The places include restaurants, workplaces, schools and karaoke rooms. Even smoking in some outdoor
places like beaches, sports grounds, museums and parks is against the law.

better if more people in Hong Kong give up smoking because of the ban.

and smelly," she said.
         If someone breaks the ban, he will have to pay up to HK$5,000.The ban does not include nightclubs, bars
or bathhouses yet. But these places will have to ban smoking by July, 2009.

     No air means death. Although we can not see it, there is air round us. So air is everywhere and it gives
life to every living thing. Without it we can not live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to
keep us in good health.
     In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the roads. The gas
which the cars spread out is full of poison. Everyday we breathe it in again and again. This makes us feel
sick. Therefore people should go out of door as much as they can.
     Besides so many cars, there are many factories too. From the chimneys of these factories, we get the
smoke usually in black or grey colour. This kind of smoke, when it mixes the air, is dangerous to our health.
It is because smoke contains many small poisonous solids and gases. So in order to keep us healthy we have
to go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air.

1. which of the following titles is the best for this passage?

Ａ: Air
Ｂ: Fresh Air
Ｃ: Breathing Air
Ｄ: The Use of Air

2. ____ could live without air.

3. Although we can not see it there is _____ all around us.

Ａ: gas
Ｂ: poison
Ｃ: water
Ｄ: smoke

4. Air gives ____to all living things.

Ａ: life
Ｂ: live
Ｃ: death
Ｄ: health

Ａ: breath
Ｂ: health
Ｃ: wealth
Ｄ: death

     Air is very important to everything that lives. But the air we breathe is g   1   dirty. People all over the world
are looking for w  2   to make it clean again.
     Have you e   3   watched the smoke from chimneys rising high in the air? Have you s   4   the smoke from
cars and trucks on roads or the smoke from planes? The smoke is not g   5   to breathe. If we want to keep
well and strong, we need to breathe c  6   air.
     W   7   more and more factories everywhere and more and more cars, trucks and planes, it is getting harder and harder to do with the air p  8  .
     Scientists have a   9   found ways to stop or slow down some of the things that make the air dirty. They
will not stop working u  10   we have clean air again. We hope our environment will be better and better.

     Air pollution comes from factories, power stations and cars. Chemicals in the smoke from power stations
cause a lot of damage (損害；毀壞). They can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground
in the rain. And this"chemical rain" gradually (逐漸地) destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes. In Germany, over 50% of the country's trees had been damaged by the year 1986.
     Time and time again there are serious accidents that pollute the air. In 1986 there was a serious accident at
a nuclear power station in Russia. A cloud of radiation flew across the whole Europe. It is said that 125,000
people died in Russia as a result of illness caused by this accident.
     In 1984 there was a serious accident at a factory in India and a cloud of dangerous gas covered the town
of Bhopal. Over 2,500 people were killed that night, and hundreds of thousands of people were injured (受傷
的). Many of the injured lost their sight.

     Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts,
so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot. about the deserts. But more and more of the earth
is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
     Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing
bad things to the earth.
     Some places on the earth don't get very much rain. But they still don't become deserts. This is because
some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants
don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the dirt away. When a little bit
of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.

(     )1. Scientists are trying to change the deserts into good land.
(     )2. Land is becoming desert little by little.               
(     )3. Scientists can change desert back into good land easily.  
(     )4. Small green plants need a lot of water.                   
(     )5. Plants can keep dry land from becoming desert.            

     Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines. There
was no modern medicine, either.
     Life today had brought new problem. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution has made
our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and a our drinking water.    b    pollution makes us talk louder and
become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kinds of pollution. It's hard to all the living things
in the world.
     Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day, (2) sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is
like a quilt(被子) over a city. That kind of quilt is called smog.
     Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is poured
away, they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.
     We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground.
We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car.(3) 如果開(kāi)車(chē)的人少了,空氣污染就少了.

     In recent years doctors have been able to take parts from one human body and put them into another
human body. This has been called "transplanting (移植)". The parts of the body which are transplanted usually
come from the body of a person who has recently died. The most successful transplant has probably been the
transplant of the human eye. The most exciting transplant has been the transplant of a human heart from one
person to another. The human body often does not accept the new part completely. It often accepts it for a
short time but then refuses it. This means that the rest of the body will not work with the new part. The
person who has received the new part then dies.
