    To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable grocery bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable grocery bags sold by some supermarkets contain high levels of lead(铅). Lead is a metal that can be harmful to humans, especially young children, Now, Senator Charles Schumer is asking the US government to investigate(调查) the use of lead in reusable shopping bags.
    “When our families go to the grocery store looking for safe and healthy foods to feed their kids, the last thing they should have to worry about is poisonous bags.” Schumer said, “A quick investigation will allow everyone to make informed, timely decisions.”  Schumer added.
    Lead in the bags is not likely to rub off (因摩擦而粘在……上面)on food. But over time, paint on the bags can chip and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be released(释放).
    The Tampa Tribune newspaper said certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern to health officials. The affected bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Sough Carolina and Tennessee. Publix says that all of its bags are under current laws about lead content, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce the lead levels in the product.
    The bags with the highest levels of lead had fancy designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without decoration were found to contain little lead. Consumers worried about lead levels in reusable bags can change to cloth or string bags. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be recycled(回收).
    Since 2007, Publix supermarkets have sold more than 13 million reusable bags. The store says because shoppers have made the change to reusable bags, it has saved more than 1 billion paper and plastics bags.
    小题1: The shopping bags containing high levels of lead ______.
    A．have been reported by a newspaper
    B．have been stopped by the government
    C．have stopped people from using reusable bags
    D．have caused serious health damage to customers
    小题2:From Schumer’s words we can learn that ______.
    A．reusable bags do little harm to kids’ health
    B．people have shown much concern for the reusable bags
    C．people will be informed of the facts about the reusable bags
    D．people should refuse to buy things from supermarkets
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that Publix might believe that the bags they sold are ______.
    A．dependableB．convenientC．harmfulD．popular
    小题4:Customers are advised to choose bags ______.
    A．with colorful designsB．with fancy pictures
    C．made of plasticD．made of paper
    小题5:From the last paragraph we know that the use of reusable bags has ______.
    A．caused Publix a lot of troubleB．saved Publix much money
    C．cost Publix plenty of moneyD．been proved a wrong decision

    It was always thought that Treasure Island(金银岛) was the product（产物） of Robert Stevenson’s imagination（想像）.  36 ，recent research has found the true story of this exciting work .
    Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years .In 1881 he returned to Scotland to spend  38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son 39 .
    Each morning they would go out for a  40 over the hills .They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd, Stevenson’s son, felt the days 42 .To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy to do some  43 .
    One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 . “What’s that?” he asked “That’s the 46 treasure”, said the boy. Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure(冒险) story in the boy’s 48 .While the rain was pouring ,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy just like Lloyd .But who would be molded(塑造) into the hero — a pirate(海盗)?
    Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked with the 50 of a wooden leg , Robert had always wanted to 51 such a man in a story.  52 Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was 53 .
    So thanks to a 54 September in Scotland, a friend with a wooden leg and the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy, we have one of the greatest  55 stories in the English language.

    “I Went Skydiving at 84!”
    As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
    In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this， I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
    On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.
    Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.
    小题1:What happened to the author in 2001?
    A．She flew an airplaneB．She entered a competition
    C．She went on a hot air balloon rideD．She moved into a retirement community
    小题2:The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to       .
    A．build up her own reputationB．show her admiration for him
    C．compare their health conditionD．make her argument persuasive
    小题3:How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?
    A．ExcitedB．ScaredC．Nervous D．Regretful
    小题4:What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?
    A．The beautiful cloudsB．The wonderful view
    C．The company of JayD．The one-minute free fall
    小题5:Which word could be used to replace the word “instructor,” in Paragraph 3?
    A．doctorB．conductorC．pilotD．trainer

When Omega was 4 years old, her talent(天赋) for music was recognized, so she became one of the youngest members of the first African Children’s Choir(合唱团). She traveled the world with the choir, and it was from this experience that she grew into a singer today.
