| June 8, 2013 Dear Cindy, I’m sorry to hear that Bird Flu (禽流感) is very serious in some parts of the world and some people have got the flu. We must take good care of ourselves and keep away from the disease. Could you tell me what people in China do to keep away from it? Please write to me soon. Yours, Betty |
| July 2, 2013 Dear Betty, I think Bird Flu is very bad. Many chickens, ducks and birds in our country got the disease. Some of them died, but some birds flew away and they might carry germs(细菌) to other places. This is a serious problem. We must do something to solve it. Let me tell you what people have to do to keep away from the disease. * Do morning exercises every day. * Open the windows in the morning. * Wash hands very often. * Eat more vegetables and less meat. * Go to bed early. I think these are good for our health. Do you think so? Yours, Cindy |

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2020, there could be 7.5 billion people on the earth. Will there be enough food for all these people? Some scientists think fish farming might solve this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could bring serious environmental problems.
Fish farming is not a new thing. There were fish farms in China 3,000 years ago. Today, about one third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.
Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. However, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. So if this continued, many types of wild fish could become extinct.
Critics (评论家) of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy. They say there are dangerous chemicals (化学物质) in the fish. They also say fish farming pollutes the water. Some people say that the ways of farming being used now won’t produce enough fish anyway. Instead of building fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms could be moved far out into the ocean. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move to the ocean.Which of the following about fish farming is true?
| A．It is very popular around the world. |
| B．It is a new thing in 2010. |
| C．It appeared in China about thirty centuries ago. |
| D．It can solve the problem of the world’s population. |
_________ is not a kind of plant-eating fish.
| A．Carp | B．Catfish |
| C．Tilapia | D．Salmon |
What does the underlined word “extinct” mean?
| A．绝种的 | B．无家可归的 |
| C．弱小的 | D．惊慌失措的 |
How many reasons do the critics hold against the fish farming?
| A．2. | B．3. | C．4. | D．5. |
What’s the passage mainly about?
| A．One way to control the growth of population. |
| B．One way to feed more people. |
| C．One way to catch more fish. |
| D．One way to save the wild fish. |
Every year several thousand people die in the car accidents in Great Britain. And between one and two hundred thousand people are hurt.
There are rules to make the roads safe, but people do not always obey (遵守) the rules. They are careless. If everybody obeys the rules, the road will be much safer. How can we make the roads safer?
Remember this rule. In Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Cars, buses and bikes must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right.
Before crossing the road, we should stop and look at both ways. Look right and left. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children or very old people, help them to cross the road. We must teach our children to cross the road safely. We must always give them a good example. Small children must not play in the street. If we want to make the roads safer, _______.
