     There are several advantages in planting trees: they firm the soil, soak(滲透) up extra water and take
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global
warming. We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the
wind's power. The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon
dioxide.
     Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia. Tons of
dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface.
     Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree planting programme there is
successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away
in the ocean.
     Andy, an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows
clearly the complexity of the system. For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving
off rather than doing anything else.
     Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees,
carbon is lost from the soil. "We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees
do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil
from trees." said Robert.
     In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be
outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground.
     Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions
to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth's
climate is a very great challenge.
1. People usually hold the opinion that________.
A. huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
B. planting trees could reduce global warming
C. huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the Earth
D. planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
2. Andy, an environmental scientist, believes that________.
A. environmental problems are more complex than expected
B. trees shouldn't have been planted in dry places
C. dust plays a more important part than trees
D. carbon dioxide is harmful to everything
3. Robert's experiment proves that________.
A. trees absorb more carbon than grass
B. carbon can turn grass into dust
C. less carbon can make trees grow faster
D. grassland areas should be covered by forests
4. The best title for this passage is "________".
A. The importance of planting trees
B. The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxide
C. Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming?
D. Why the soil carbon disappears

     What would you think if I told you I could eat 40 percent more food than other people-eating boxes
of ice cream, bowls of noodles and plates of meat-all while losing weight?
     You might hate me, thinking I have one of those annoyingly good metabolisms(新陳代謝)that just
burn up fat the instant it enters my body. You might wonder if I have an intestinal(腸的)worm, or
perhaps an eating disorder. Or maybe you'd just shrug your shoulders and figure I have a rich fantasy
life.
     You'd be wrong.
     For my body to finish such a surprising task, I would have to be a mouse. Not just any mouse, but
one lucky enough to be involved in a new study at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
     After identifying an enzyme(酶)that allows fat to be stored in the body, scientists fed mice without
those enzymes, and found those mice were able to consume far more food than other mice-and still
weigh 10 to 15 percent less.
     Best of all, the mice that had no enzymes were in very good health, producing baby mice with no
problem and generally acting like any other mouse. That's great news for obesity researchers, who think
that scientists may figure out a way to prevent the fat metabolizing(脂肪代謝)enzyme in humans and
control weight gain. And such a pill would be very exciting for many people who are struggling to get rid
of dangerous extra pounds.
     But don't start planning any big dinner just yet. At this point, of course, any pill for humans is but a
twinkle(閃爍) in the eye of every medicine company's CEO. More tests are to be made, and eventually
humans will be introduced in the test.
     But for now, unfortunately, control in diet is still the key.
1. What does "such a surprising task" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Eating a lot of food while losing weight.
B. Burning up fat very quickly.
C. Controlling the diet.
D. Having a rich fantasy life.
2. Why did the author say he/she had to be a mouse in Paragraph 4?
A. Because a mouse can lose weight no matter how much it eats.
B. Because the weight losing tests were made on the mouse.
C. Because the mouse has a very good metabolism.
D. Because the author wants to try the food without the enzyme.
3. In the experiment, the mice without those enzymes________.
A. were in good condition  
B. put on weight
C. became weak  
D. could not have baby mice
4. What does the author want to show through the last two paragraphs?
A. You can be free of guilt when having big dinners.
B. Scientists cannot find the key to identifying the enzyme.
C. Don't overeat before the test is made on humans.
D. It is unnecessary to control weight at present.

health. However, not all know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to humans, too.
     People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists
believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of
the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave cloth become deaf. Quite a few people
living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people, for these young people like to listen to "pop" music and most of
"pop" music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people's life
difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad. It is said that a continuous noise
of over 85 decibels can cause deafness.
     Nowadays the governments in many countries have made laws to reduce or control noise and make it
less than 85 decibels. In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also the noise pollution problem.

     Drinking alcohol(酒精)is dangerous for kids and teens and sometimes for adults, too.
Alcohol is a drug, and it is the drug most abused by teens. Many kids have their first drink
at an early age, as young as 10 or 11 or even younger.
     They may have seen their parents drink or cool advertisements for beer and wine. It's
easy for a kid to get the wrong message about alcohol. In TV commercials, drinking looks
like a lot of fun, you might see people drinking; and watching sports together or having
a big party.
     But alcoholisactuallya depressant (鏌靜劑 ).That means it's a drug that slows down
or depresses the brain. Like many drugs, alcohol changes a person's ability to think,
speak and see things as they really are.
     A person might lose his or her balance and have trouble walking properly. The person
might feel relaxed and happy and start crying or have an argument.
     When people drink too much,.They might hurt themselves or other people, especially
if they drive a car. Someone who drinks too much also might throw up and could wake
up the next day feeling awful. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to alcohol poisoning,
which can kill a person. Over time, someone who abuses alcohol can do serious damage
to his or her body. The liver, which removes poisons from the blood, is especially at risk.'
     Because alcohol can cause such problems, teens shouldn't be allowed to use alcohol,
and people who drink alcohol are not allowed to drive cars.

     Disposing(處理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.As more
and more people choose to live close together in cities,the waste-disposal problem becomes
increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select
a faraway spot as a dump site.Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖運者)would transport household
rubbish,rotted wood,and old possessions to the site.Periodically some of the trash was burned
and the rest was buried.The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody
lived close by.
Factories,mills,and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.Those located on rivers
often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.Others built huge burners with chimneys
to deal with the problem.
     Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.The first problem is space
Dumps,which are now called landfills,are most needed in heavily populated areas.Such areas
rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.Property is either too expensive or too close to
residential neighborhoods.Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice but once farm
areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land within trucking distance of major city
areas is almost nonexistent.
     Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal.Pollution of
rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste.The amount
of waste,however,continues to grow.
     Recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part.
Even the most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a
city's reusable waste.

1.The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.
A.Places for Disposing Waste
B.Waste Pollution Dangers
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Waste Disposal Problem
2.During the 18th century,people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for ______.
A.burying it
B.recycling it  
C.burning it
D.throwing it into rivers
3.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.
C.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.
D.Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.
4.The main purpose of writing this article is to ______.
A.draw people's attention to waste management
B.warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing
C.call on people to take part in recycling programs
D.tell people a better way to get rid of the waste

                                                Boys with Eating Disorders (紊亂,失調(diào))
     Why isn't Tony Eating? No one knows what Tony does at lunchtime. His friends all gather at the
dining hall where they share stories and eat. They talk about their lives and the things they have seen in
movies or read in books. But Tony doesn't care about these things, and he doesn't join them. In fact,
there is only one thing on Tony's mind -- building the perfect body. And while his friends are chatting
away, Tony is in the gym by himself, lifting weights. Now, he is able to lift more than ever. He has also
measured his arms and legs and weighed himself. He knows he is in the best shape of his life. But it's not
enough.
     People say that women and girls are the ones who have body size issues, the ones who develop
eating disorders, and the ones affected most by the media pressure. It is true that women and girls are
affected more, but the same issues also affect men and boys.
     There is more and more media pressure for men and boys to take on the look of the well-muscled
athletes and actors. Males are becoming uncomfortable about their physical appearance and self-image.
Sports, health, and fitness magazines focus on the importance of having muscles and the methods to
obtain those perfect sports bodies. Boys tend to do a great deal of weight training and, if they do not
see immediate results, they often turn to using steroids (類固醇) and vitamins that advertise unbelievable
muscle gain.
     The average boy cannot come near meeting the impossible "standard" of the media's male body
perfection. They are not going to be Arnold Schwarzenegger or some other action star, or have the
well-muscled body of athletes. The most popular magazines carry images of women and men on the
covers that represent about 3 percent of the population. Obviously, that leaves 97 percent who cannot
measure up to that level of a desired body image.
     Magazines, especially those aimed at men and boys, spread the "body building" message around.
Advertisements promote weight lifting, body building or muscle toning. The V-shaped body with great
muscles is emphasized as the ideal.
     The need to make weight for a sport like boxing can cause eating disorders. The demandfor pills that
give energy and decrease a person's desire to eat is high among those needing tomake weight.
     More and more health-care professionals are starting to realize the degree that boys can be
influenced by body image. One recent study showed that of boys between the ages of 7 and 9, fifty
percent wanted to reshape their body. This percentage (百分比) increases as they reach their teens and
want to take part in sports and impress girls. It is something that can follow you throughout life if you do
not learn to understand that there is more to you than your muscles and body shape.
1. Tony is most concerned with ______.
A. having an eating disorder            
B. eating his lunch
C. building a perfect body              
D. gaining weight
2. Some sports magazines teach the young men ______.
A. to become a real athlete              
B. to become a healthy actor
C. to use vitamins to keep healthy          
D. to obtain perfect sports bodies
3. Half of all boys between 7 and 9 want ______.
A. to impress girls                    
B. to play sports
C. to reshape their bodies                
D. to have a good body image
4. The ideal body shown in magazines ______.
A. cannot be good for sports              
B. demands pills
C. cannot measure up                  
D. is shaped like a V

     In the far north-eastern corner of South Africa, Kruger National Park is the largest
game reserve (野生動植物保護區(qū)) in the country, and the most famous wildlife zone
on the African continent. Stretching out over 7,332 square miles, Kruger is a wonderland
of wildlife. It has 507 species of birds and 147 species of mammals. It also has a fair bit
of history  it dates back to 1898 when it was founded as a game reserve in an attempt to
control hunting in the area. It didn't see a tourist until 1927; however, one year later it
became a national park.
     It's a good place to see roaring beasts in their own backyards. South Mrica is an
increasingly hot tourist spot, and you may want to visit it this year, before it hosts the
2010 football World Cup. South Africa is also an inexpensive country for tourists.
     Anyone seeking to escape the European winter will be surprised to hear that March
is not the best time to go to Kruger.
     The six-month period between May and October tends to be the most suitable time
for wildlife - spotting. The weather is not only cooler but also considerably drier. This
means that water sources dry up and animals are forced to approach rivers, creeks, dams
and watering holes in search of liquid refreshment.
      If you go to South Africa, you need to pay attention to the threat of malaria (瘧疾).
Kruger is one of the only two South African national parks that have an issue about the
disease, but only during the rainy season ( December to April).
       A disadvantage of Kruger is that it sits a long way from South Africa's other well-known
tourist attractions  Cape Town, the Garden Route, and the meeting of the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans at Cape Agulhas.

     World No Tobacco Day is observed around the world every year on May 31. It is meant to
encourage a 24-hour period free from all forms of tobacco consumption (消費) across the globe.
The day is further intended to draw global attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use
and to negative health effects, which currently lead to 5.4 million deaths worldwide annually (每年).
     The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) created World No Tobacco Day
(WNTD) in 1987. In the past twenty years, the day has been met with both enthusiasm and resistance
across the globe from governments, public health organizations, smokers, growers, and the tobacco
industry.
     The WHO cites (提到)tobacco use as "one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever
faced." Tobacco is the number one preventable cause of disability and death. Tobacco can have many
negative health effects; it is a risk factor for six out of eight of the leading causes of death in the world,
Such as cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, lung diseases, and various cancers. The WHO blames 1
in 10 deaths worldwide on tobacco use, which equates to 5.4 million today. By 2030, they estimate
that the number of tobacco-related deaths will have risen to 8 million. Because of these issues, tobacco
consumption is seen by the  WHO as a key public health issue.
     WNTD is a part of the WHO's larger strategy to change tobacco-related thinking and behaviors
around the world with the aim of making the world healthier. According to the WHO, the point of
World No Tobacco Day is to ask people to give up using all tobacco products for 24 hours in order to
begin breaking their addiction to the "harmful and wasteful habit." The day is meant to raise awareness
about the health risks associated with tobacco and advocate far better polices to reduce consumption
worldwide.
