Most adults once studied at school, had classes and did their homework every day. The same 36  is going on at school now.    37  it seems that doing weekend home-work is    38  problem for the modern students.
All the students should agree that weekend homework should be canceled.  It's   39   for them to study at school five days a week.  They have a lot of interests. With homework to do on Saturday and Sunday, how can they find   40  to help around the house, go and see a football or basketball game or a good film, join in family recreations  (娱乐), or just have    41 _ at home? Because of these other activities, the homework can't be finished until   42 .  So their weekend homework is usually done in such a hurry that on Monday teachers are   43  and often threaten (威胁) to fail whole class of students because they know nothing about the   44 .  If there were no weekend homework for the students to do, they would be happy to go to school on Monday _ 45 _ having a good rest and to learn what the teachers teach.

People are busy working every day, so they do not have enough time to do exercises. As a result, many people become too fat or too thin. To keep our bodies healthy, we have to do exercises every day.
There are many kinds of exercises. Bending (弯腰) and stretching (伸展) helps us move easily. Before we play ball games or swim, it is better for us to do bending and stretching exercises first. This kind of exercise is sometimes called warm-up exercise. Running is also a good exercise. If we cannot run fast, we can Jog. Jogging means running slowly. Again, before we run or jog, we must do warm-up exercises. Also, we should not run or jog in busy streets. The air there is often dirty. Some people like weight lifting (举重)because it can make their bodies strong. Also, we need to do some warm-up exercises before weight lifting.

Electric bicycles which run on battery-operated (电瓶) motors are winning over riders of ordinary bikes   41 their speed, quality and environmental advantage.
They were first   42 on 1980s in China, but the selling was not very good. Today, thanks 43  improvements on battery quality, the electric bikes sell well. There are now more than 100 electric bicycle producers in China and 26 million such bicycles were produced in 2011. Japan is another large  44  of such bicycles in the world with a total production reaching 381,721in 2010.
  45 China is one of the largest producers of electric bicycles in the world, the   46  of its producers with mass production (大批量生产) is actually small.
Electric bicycles are still   47 in China. Time is needed for people to become familiar with them and accept them. Each bike’s price of between 2,000 yuan (US $318) and 3,000 yuan (US $477) is still  48  for ordinary citizens (民众). Although such bikes are quick, safe and 49 to operate, their batteries still have shortcomings (不足). They weigh more than 10 kilograms; their service life is   50  two years and they   51  400 yuan each.
There were more than 450 million bikes in China in 2006. If just one percent of all these bikes are replaced by electric  52  , the market will be very large.

Everybody can suffer from stress. No matter what your age is, you can feel stressed out by things that are happening in your life. Teenagers, however, have many more opportunities to get stressed than people in any other age group. Being a teenager is hard. You are not a child any more, but you are not an adult, even though you have to deal with some very grown-up problems and decisions. Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with parents arguing at home, or problems with brothers and sisters. Teenagers also have a lot of stress from school, either from their teachers or from their friends. Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school. Getting a place at university can be very difficult and some cannot afford to go to university.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18C, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade (摄氏度).
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution.
To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even eat it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威胁) our health, our happiness and our life.
Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water. There weren’t so many people then and their wants fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of pollution and the development of industry(工业) have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning(毒害)not only his environment but also himself.
Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.
Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump(堆存处)，or is there any hope that we can get rid of (摆脱，除去) the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．We live on the earth, so we should look after it.

B．Man is fighting against different kinds of pollution.

C．To pollute means to make air, water and land unfit for use.

D．All the waste produced by modern industry can be absorbed.

小题2:In Paragraph4, the underlined word “chemicals” mean ____________.

B．医疗器械

C．污染源

D．塑料制品

小题3:Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has___________.

A．made the drinking water dirty	B．polluted the land
C．killed the animals	D．all of the above

小题4:From the sentences “More people, more waste.” We know that ___________

A．we need more people, not more waste

B．the increase of population caused more waste.

C．there isn’t any hope that we can get rid of the pollution

D．More people have been warned of the danger of more waste.

小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Man begins to understand the pollution.

B．Man doesn’t know how to control pollution.

C．Man is doing something to control pollution.

D．Man still doesn’t realize how serious pollution is.
