    Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water！This is just one of hundreds of pieces of advice you might get if you have the hiccups（打嗝）.Hiccups are so mysterious(神秘的)．We really don’t know why they start and why they stop．
    Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups．Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well．Others eat a little sugar．Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it．
    An American man named Jack O’Leary said that he had hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years．He tried 60，000 cures，but none of them worked．Finally he prayed（向…祈祷） to Saint Jude, the saint of Hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately．
    A British worker didn’t stop his hiccups until eight months later. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well．He tried them all，but the hiccups continued．Finally，he drank a “secret” mixture(混合物) someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone．
    Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure．
    小题1:        might be the best cure for hiccups.
    A．Special pills
    B．A spoonful of salt
    C．Cold water
    D．What you believe in

    C．How to get hiccups
    D．Jack O‘Leary’s hiccups

    小题1:D
    小题2:C
    小题3:A

    小题1:根据短文最后一段Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure．描述，可知选D。
    小题2:根据A British worker didn’t stop his hiccups until eight months later.描述，可知他八个月后才停止打嗝，故选C。
    小题3:这篇短文主要介绍了治疗打嗝问题的各种办法，故选A，终止打嗝的各种办法。

    Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is in a colour of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
    How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all round Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.
    Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use the chemicals (化学制品)in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines of shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from home and businesses and then carries them into the lake . They pollute the water and kill the animals.
    Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats（汽船）. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
    People in Hartwell are worried . They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
    小题1:In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ________.
    A．forestsB．rainC．birdsD．fish
    小题2:Chemicals from homes and businesses _________.
    A．are always cleanB．can help the animals
    C．are good for the lake D．get into the rainwater
    小题3:Cleaner rainwater will mean _________ .
    A．more boats on the lakeB．more dirty things in the lake
    C．a cleaner lakeD．a dirty lake
    小题4:To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ________.
    A．be more careful about chemicals B．use the water
    C．grow fewer plants in the gardens D．use more motorboats on the lake
    小题5:The passage is about ________.
    A．boats on the Lake PankapogB．why the water is dirty in Lake Ponkapog
    C．clean rainwaterD．dirty lakes

    Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting(融化)snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.
    Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly(平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill(溅) it.
    Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.
    小题1:The writer tries to       in this passage.
    A．show his dislikes about bad winter weather
    B．give information about winter weather
    C．ask people not to drive in winter
    D．advise people about safe driving in winter
    小题2:According to the passage, the writer thinks that      .
    A．people should not drive in the snow
    B．drivers should think more about problems in winter driving
    C．people drive too fast in winter
    D．winter drivers should stop their cars less
    小题3:In the passage the writer talks about a cup of coffee     .
    A．to show how important smooth movements are
    B．to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with them
    C．to tell the drivers to be more relaxed
    D．to show how it can be spilled
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT TRUE?    
    A．Traffic accidents take place easily in winter.
    B．Fog and melting snow often cause car accidents.
    C．The stopping distance on ice is as long as the usual one.
    D．In winter you should drive your car with great care.
    小题5:Which traffic sign shows the main idea of the passage?     

    A.              B.

    When we have small cuts in the skin(皮肤), something strange may happen. The cuts are able to heal(痊愈) themselves in a couple of days. How does this happen? Read on, and you will find out the secret.
    Every living thing on the earth is made up of cells(细胞). Cells grow and make new cells. Most cells are very small and we can't see them with our eyes. Different cells have different uses. Our skin cells are special ones. The cells on the outside of our skin are old dead cells. New skin cells are right under the outside. These are the living skin cells. They work for our bodies. They help protect our bodies and heal cuts.
    Our bodies make skin cells all the time. As the old cells fall off, new cells grow in the same place. Each person makes about 18 kg of skin cells during his or her life. Outside skin cells fit together closely with no gaps between them. When you cut yourself, you can harm your skin cells. A small cut will not be harmful. Your skin will quickly heal itself by making new skin cells. How do skin cells work? First, the cells near the cut get bigger and move into the gap. Next, these bigger cells meet in the middle. They form a new layer(层) of skin cells. Finally, new cells will grow until the gap disappears. In this way, your skin can grow and get well itself. How amazing the small cells are! Next time you have a cut, don't worry about it. Maybe in a few days, you will be surprised to find it healed.
    小题1:The underlined word “gaps” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.
    A．突起B．条纹C．缝隙D．代沟

    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Each person can make 18 kg of skin cells every day.
    B．Different cells have different uses in our bodies.
    C．The skin cells have little work to do in the body.
    D．Every living thing on the earth is made up of skin cells
    小题5:The best title for this passage should be______.
    A．How Skin Cells Heal Cuts
    B．The Importance of Skin
    C．How to Protect Our Fingers

    It seems to be strange to you that there is a blind spot (盲点)on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment (实验) that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.
    Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.
    Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eyes. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.

    What will you do if weight keeps going up? Here are ideas to help you stay healthy:
    Don’t sit around
    Stay active. Try to exercise 30 to 60 minutes every day. Your exercise doesn’t have to be hard. Start small. Take the stairs instead of the elevator(电梯). Walk or ride a bike to places such as school or a friend’s house. Help your mum with housework, such as cleaning windows or the bathroom. It all burns fat. Make changes from time to time so you don’t get bored: Try running, biking, skating. There are many choices. Don’t spend long hours watching TV or playing video games. Even reading a book burns more fat.
    Eat healthy
    Truly different kinds of food and get enough fruits and vegetables each day. Drink water and low fat milk instead of soft drinks like Cola. Stay away from fast food. Eat when you are hungry, not when you are bored or because you can’t think of anything else to. Don’t eat meals or snacks while watching TV because you’ll probably end up eating more than you need. Some worry so much about their weight that they don’t eat breakfast. This is a bad idea. Teenagers need enough food. If not, you won’t get the nutrients you need to grow normally.
    Don’t rush to go on a diet
    Even if you are a little heavier than your fiends, you still may be normal. Remember to talk to doctors and your parents before you decide to lose weight.

    In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In Western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
    A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
    Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not give enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
    So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially then we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchief and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper, we can save it and reuse it later.
    Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
    小题1: When he was in China, Marco Polo ________.
    A．saw many wonderful things
    B．read a lot of books
    C．discovered Cai Lun invented paper
    D．learned to make paper
    小题2:About ________ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city.
    A．48,000B．1,700C．2,000D．2,800
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper?
    A．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.
    B．To grow more trees.
    C．To use both sides of very piece of paper.
    D．To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．About 48,000 trees can be used to make 2,800 tons of paper.
    B．If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use.
    C．The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the people in western countries.
    D．It is never too late to plant trees for paper.
    小题5:Which is the best title of the passages?
    A．Cotton Handkerchiefs Back Again
    B．Cai Lun, the Great Inventor
    C．Saving Paper
    D．The history of Paper
