   Astronomers working at Berkeley and Geneva have found nine new planets circling nearby stars. With this discovery,we now know of 50 extra-solar planets,also called exoplanets. That is a big increase from 41 planets last known five years ago.

   All these individual (单个的) planets move in an orbit around a star,which is called their parent star. The astronomers estimate that the Beta Pictoris star (绘架座(3 星) has a planet ten times the mass of Earth. It orbits (环绕轨道运行) at a distance of about 10. 5 billion kilometers,more than ten times the distance of the earth from the sun. And Vega (织女星) ,one of the brightest stars in the sky appears to have a planet twice the mass of Jupiter (木星) ,the largest planet in our solar system. This planet is 8 billion kilometers from its parent star. In comparison,our solar system seems almost tiny. The distance between Pluto (冥王星) ,the farthest planet in our solar system and the sun is “just” 5. 9  billion kilometers!

根据短文内容,回答下列问题。

1. With this discovery,how many extra-solar planets are discovered?

2. Is Vega the only one brightest star in the sky?

3. Which planet is the largest in our solar system?

4. Which planet is the farthest planet in the solar system?

  Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives,forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad,you are to know some table manners. 

   EATING MANNERS

   Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises,slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.

   Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating,fork in left hand,and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.

   France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.

   Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating,even a stranger,it’s good manners to say “provecho”,which means enjoy. In Mexico,dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion —lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated,look for place cards,or wait until the host seats you. And you must say “enjoy your meal” before you leave the table.

   DRINKING MANNERS 

   America: If you empty a bottle into someone's glass,it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass.

   Australia: In a pub,it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it's your turn,say “It's my round”. When it's their round,they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.

   Japan: Don’t fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead,you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.(江苏省连云港市2013年中考)

How to Teach a Child Respect

As a child grows out of being an infant(婴儿)and begins to notice and react to the world around them, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly pass all of the things that they need to become a responsible, respectful adult. 1. A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind, but learns to respect himself as well.

Instructions

★ Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving her your full attention and she will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in relationships.

2. The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

★ Agree to disagree. 3. Explain your decision so that she will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t equate to disobedience.

★ Control your impulse to overreact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 4.

★ Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 5.

A.Teach your child manners by using polite requests and responses.

B.Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.

C.Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D.If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

E.A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.

F.When you see your child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.

G.Signs such as sudden poor performance in school, behaviors like fears and threats accompany behavior problems in children.

It was Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.

He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.

With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”

On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.

1.Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?

A. He was riding to school.

B. He was listening to a strange sound.

C. He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.

D. He was going fishing with his father.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?

A. They crowded like a black cloud.

B. They shocked and terrified Andy.

C. They tried to attack Andy in a mass.

D. They made Andy stay in hospital for two days.

3.How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?

A. He asked Mr. Nelson for help.

B. He hid himself under the water.

C. He rushed into the Nelson house.

D. He rode off in the opposite direction.

4.Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees?

A. No pains, no gains.

B. Once bitten, twice shy.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way.

D. In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.

Printing images is easy. Just select an image of a purple robot on your PC, for example, and press print. Your home printer exactly shoots drops of ink onto a flat piece of paper, creating the robot’s 2-D image. “Printing” 3-D objects is different. Take the purple robot. First select a file of the 3-D printer. Immediately, the printer begins making noise, and a nozzle (喷嘴) releases plastic material in thin layers. In two or three hours, a 3-D purple robot is standing before you.

3-D printing has developed to the point where printers can now create high-quality objects using a variety of materials, including metals. That means 3-D printers can now make final products that meet high industrial standards. 3-D printers are already being used to make parts for racecars and jets as well as man-made limbs and hearing aids.

So far, few homes have 3-D printers. That’s because 3-D printing is not only new to most people but also quite expensive. To bring 3-D printing to the masses, some retail stores (零售商店) plan to offer the service. For example, the Staples chain of office supply stores has announced that it will offer 3-D printing in Europe beginning in 2013. Customers will be able to submit their own 3-D designs to Staples website for printing. After the job is done, they’ll pick up their item at a nearby Staples store or have it mailed to their homes. This service is sure to encourage many more people to try out 3-D printing.

1.According to this article, who are 3-D printed parts already helping?

A. People with physical disabilities.

B. People in the solar energy field

C. People who lack suitable housing

D. People in need of computer skills

2.What will customers need in order to submit their designs to Staples?

A. A credit card account

B. Its local phone number

C. Professional experience

D. Access to the Internet

3.What does the writer of this article imply about 3-D printing?

A. Its inventor is famous

B. Its future looks bright.

C. It is still quite cheap.

D. It will be of little use.

4.What do we learn about the 3-D purple robot?

A. How long it can usually last

B. How it can darken its own color

C. How it gradually takes shape

D. How much it costs to produce
