Part One
China’s worst drought in fifty years is doing harm to most of the country’s south. Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces have suffered the most because of little rain.35 million people have been affected by the big thirst, according to China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs.4 million of them cannot get safe drinking water.
Dongting Lake in Hunan has now become smaller by two thirds. Gao Yibing, fisherman, said, “No eggs were produced, so there’s no young fish. We would not be able to fish anything in autumn and winter.”
Part Two
Medecims Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Borders, is a group that helps people in need. In 1971,some French doctors and journalists formed MSF. In 1999,MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Doctors of MSF go to different countries to help poor people for free. These people are sick and hurt. They do not have enough money, food or water. MSF work in more than 70 countries including Iraq and Sudan. There are wars, disasters or diseases in these countries.
MSF doctors treat these sick people and speak out for them. They try to tell the world about what they see in the poor countries. This makes the world pay more attention to these places.

| What is an e–reader? An e–reader is a small computer. It can hold thousands of e–books. So people want to throw away heavy schoolbags and read with small, light e–readers. For example, a US high school has put its paper books away. Teachers and students are using e–readers now. “It’s so convenient. You can have so many books right at your fingertips.” said Meghan Chenausky,16. Chinese schoolchildren are also trying e–readers. Hanvon WISEreader is the most popular e–reader in China. It weighs about 260g and is as big as a regular textbook. It is a special e–reader. Students can make notes on it. They can use it to download textbooks from school computers. It can also send and receive homework. New e–readers are not just for reading. They have WI-FI(无线网络) and multimedia(多媒体).Parents think these  may hurt children’s study habits. “I think WI-FI is not necessary for kids.” says Zeng Wenwen,43, Beijing. |

MSG(monosodium glutamate) is a food additive(食品添加剂),which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original(原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions(反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat(心跳).It was also reported that MSG excited a person’s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many
neurological disorders(神经紊乱).In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(标签) by using differe
nt names. If you see “natural flavorings”,“hydrolyzed protein”and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, 
our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives. Monosodium Glutamate is _______
| A．a food | B．an additive | C．a factory | D．a country |
MSG is often used in ______.
| A．frozen meats | B．cups | C．clothes | D．book covers |
The examples in the second paragraph tell us ________.
| A．the food including MSG is delicious | B．people like to eat in a restaurant |
| C．mice like eating the food including MSG | D．MSG is not safe sometimes |
If you see “natural flavorings”,“hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you will know _____________.
| A．you must eat the food in a hidden way |
| B．the food label must be hidden |
| C．MSG is probably added to the food |
| D．you must report the food to your parents |
The underlined word “substance” in the article means __________.
| A．colour | B．material | C．taste | D．food |
