More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them.
When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000.
The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil. They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.
The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.
Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people. “I want the Amazon forest to help all of us-forest people Brazil, and all the Earth,” he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.
In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades across the roads into the forest. In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time.
In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest. They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.
The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well. They find and sell the Brazil nuts(坚果) which grow on the forest trees.

As we all know, the Internet has become part of teenagers(青少年)        . A new reporter on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them used the Internet very        .

     Most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, but some are not using it in a        way .Many are playing online games too much.       even visit websites (网站)they should not look at. A teacher from Yucai Middle School says that bad things can happen if young people       too much time on the Internet. She had a student who used to be (曾经)good at school.      then he started visiting unhealthy websites. He went mad（变得疯狂）,cheated（欺骗）a girl and was taken away by the police.

     In order to help young people use the Internet       a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior(行为) has started to be used in some middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to       students about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as to read news or to find helpful      to study. Teachers and parents all think the book is very good.

     The book will be a guide (向导) for teens to use the Internet. We believe it will keep students away from bad websites, and teach students       to be a good person in the online world.

Is the world too crowded? Well, that’s a hard question to answer. It’s all a matter of perspective(视角).In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao, 60,000 people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world’s population doesn’t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate(比例).That’s in part because in each generation(代) these are more people who then have children than in the last generation.
Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world’s population was under 2 billion(十亿).Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now that’s a whole lot of people! Soon the world’s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals(相当于) too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources(资源) the world needs to feed, house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth’s resources.
【小题1】From the first paragraph we can know that ­________.

A．Montana is too crowded

B．Macao is too crowded

C．the world is too crowded

D．the world is not too crowded

【小题2】The population is increasing fast partly because ________.

A．people live longer than before

B．there are less wars than before

C．medicine is developing faster than before

D．more couples now would like to have children than before

【小题3】What was the world’s population 100 years ago?

A．450 million.	B．about 2 billion.
C．40 billion.	D．7 billion.

【小题4】The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should ________.

A．find more resources

B．use more resources

C．think about our ways of living

D．move to other places

【小题5】From the passage we can learn that the writer ________.

A．thinks the world already has too many people

B．thinks the world can feed no more than 7 billion people

C．is not sure when the world’s population will reach 7 billion

D．is not sure what the largest population that the world can feed is

The world is not hungry，but it’s thirsty.   1  while we say we are short of water.Why？Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can‘t drink or use for watering plants directly.Man can only drink and use the 3% of water that comes from rivers and lakes.   2  ，because some of it has been polluted.
　　Now more water is needed.The problem is how we can avoid a serious water shortage in the future.  3 Scientists are making study in this field.Today，In most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.but it can be used again.Even if every large city reused its water，the water will still not be enough. 4 .
　　The sea seems to give us the best answer.There is a lot of water in the sea.All that needs to be get the salt out of the sea water.This will be expensive，but it has already been used in many parts of the world.   6 So you see，if we can find out a way，we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
