All living things on the earth need other living things to live．Nothing lives alone．Most animals must live in a group，and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind．Sometimes one living thing kills another，or one eats and the other is eaten．One kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live，and together they form a food chain(食物链)．All food chains begin with the sun，and all food chain become broken up if one of them disappears．
All life needs sunlight to live on．But only plants can use sunlight directly．Plants are“factories”．They make food from sunlight，water and things in the soil and air．
Plants feed all other living things．Animals can only use the sun’s energy(能量)after it has been changed into food by plants．Some animals feed directly on plants，and others eat smaller animals．Meat－eating animals are only eating plants indirectly．
What about human beings？We are members of any food chain．We eat rice，vegetables，fruits and so on．We also eat meat．But men often break up the food chain．They kill wild animals．They also make rivers，lakes and seas dirty．When these rivers，lakes and seas are polluted，the fish in them cannot be eaten．If men eat the fish，they will get strange diseases．

A recently study found people’s lives are made shorter in North China. It is showed the life expectancy(平均寿命) had been cut down by 5.5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame(承担责任). It’s really the truth. Our government has already done something. However, it doesn’t seem to work so well.
“Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health. The harm is much more serious than we can imagine,” said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University, one of researchers of this study.
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year, the air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas(废气) from coal heating.
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses, ride bicycles or walk, instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.
“We need to improve our environment, although it might be expensive. Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves,” Li Hongbin, another researcher of the study said.The passage above may come from a(n) .

What’s the main idea of the passage?

Shanghai-born novelist Lu Shi’e wrote a fantasy novel called New China in 1910． In the book he described a dream where trains were running underground, an iron bridge crossed the Huangpu River and Shanghai hosted a successful World Exposition in the underdeveloped Pudong area at that time． The blueprint(蓝图) described in the novel became real exactly after 100 years．

Do you want to know how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do．
Leaves are the world’s food factories． Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air． Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar． Plants use it as food for energy and growing．
A chemical called “chlorophyll” in the leaves gives plants their green colour． As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter．
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water． Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer． They begin to shut down their food-making factories． As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves．
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn． In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red colour． And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn．Which should be in the box?
| A．air | B．water | C．sugar | D．wind |
The underlined word “chlorophyll” means __________．
| A．蛋白质 | B．脂肪 |
| C．叶绿素 | D．淀粉 |
The leaves turn yellow because they are short of(缺少) __________．
| A．sunlight and water | B．glucose and energy |
| C．water and CO2 | D．sunlight and CO2 |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter． |
| B．Trees begin to stop making food in summer． |
| C．During winter some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves． |
| D．During winter trees live on the food they store in summer． |
This passage tells us_____________．
| A．the plants can grow well only with the sunlight |
| B．there are all kinds of plants on the earth |
| C．maple leaves change the color as other trees |
| D．not all the colors of the leaves are from chlorophyll |
What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck．
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a 2 for b, 3 for c．．．, you can change an English word into a number． So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is itsmark；knowledge：11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96．while love：12+15+22+5="54," and luck：12+2l+3+11="47," a small mark．None of these words can give one a full mark． What about money or prayer(祈祷）?They can't, either．
Then what else? Don't be worried． You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things，or your attitude． Yes, attitude is the word． See for yourself： attitude：1+20+20+9+20+2l+4+5="100," a full mark．
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life． Most times people hope for a better life． It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one's attitude．
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you'll meet more smiling faces towards you． In the same way． if you take a positive（积极地）attitude towards failure（失败）, you'll find it's also rewarding though it has caused you losses．According to the passage, what number can represent the word “O”?
