3. The word“day”has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using“day”to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

1.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.

A. both day and night B. dayC. neither day nor night D. night

2.A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.

A. the pushing B. the pulling C. the spinning D. the passing

5. Your junior high school years are coming to an end. After the big exam, most of you will go on to study in a senior(高级) high school. What are you expecting from senior high? Let’s hear some Teens readers talk about it.

Zhou Zhijie, 15, from Shanghai: hope there’ll be time then to enjoy sports. There will be plenty to see: the Tennis Masters Cup will be held in Shanghai, and of course there is the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I am going to do something for it and I’m sure I’ll really enjoy it.

Jin Xin, 16, from Harbin, Heilongjiang:

I really enjoy science. I visit many science exhibitions. I am interested in UFOs too. I’m not very good at it because I don’t really have enough scientific knowledge. I’ll be learning more science in senior high. In a word, sometime in the future I’m going to build an excellent model plane!

Wang Yaling, 15, from Xiamen, Fujian:

I hope I can be taller in senior high school. I am only 155 cm. Many people grow faster in senior high and I hope I will too. I want to be 162 cm. But I’m not so sure about that, since most girls in my family don’t grow any taller than 160 cm. I hope I’m different.

Zhang Fang, 15, from Puyang, Henan:

I expect that I’ll make more friends in senior high. I study in a middle school in the country. Most of my classmates live nearby. In senior high, I’ll meet different people from different areas.

Selina, Hebe and Ella are three pretty young Taiwanese singing girls. Their new album(音乐专辑) “Magical Journey” can be heard all the way to Beijing's Great Hall of the People. The three singing angels are regarded as the most popular pop group in Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, when they entered a singing competition in Taiwan in 2000, none of them even dreamed of being a superstar. Ella and Hebe were only expecting the 10, 000 yuan prize, while Selina was encouraged by her younger sister, who was then too young to take part. "We had never met before, and we didn't talk at all at the beginning," said Ella with a smile. "Then we were put together in a room, eating and sleeping together. And we soon found we had a lot that was similar to each other and could enjoy everything." The three are getting on so well that they each believe it was God that let them become friends and form a three - in - one band. They even named their band "S. H. E. ", which comes from the first letters of their English names.

Selina is a shy attractive girl. Hebe, the youngest of the three, is confident and always comes up with new ideas. Bright and encouraging, Ella is regarded as the head of the band. Even when she was off because of the pain in her back last summer, she till remembered to phone the other two and push them to move on.

When asked about the secret to their success, the boyish Ella said, “The not - so -pretty faces and not - so - expensive dresses keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters.”

It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to well -known singers. Nothing but magical indeed.

ACCDD 7. New York City Travel Guide New York City is located on the eastern coast of the United States. Today’s New York is a shining, clean, safe city and one of the most family-friendly cities on the planet. Transport There are three major airports near New York City. So you’d better confirm (确认) which airport you will arrive at. I’d suggest you take a taxi when you go to your hotel. If you want to save money on transportation, don’t rent a car because parking in Manhattan is difficult and very expensive.

8. When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.

When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.

The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early.

He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的) roots(根), and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.

So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years ago and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.

1. We know from the reading the doctor______.

A. didn't know how to plant trees at all B. wasn't good at his own medical job

C. had his own ways of planting trees D. had nothing to do but plant trees

2.When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early", he meant that _____.

A. some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning

B. he would choose the weak trees to water earlier

C. the weak trees would be sent to his patients later

D. he would not plant weak trees so early anymore 3. The passage tells us that the writer______. A. should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper B. didn't often water his trees C. didn't have a large field D. took too much care of his trees 4. The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that______. A. his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs' B. his trees will not be beaten down C. his sons will be better at planting trees D. his sons will be able to face difficulties 5.

10. Studying Abroad

Every year, thousands of students travel to foreign countries to study. More than 30 percent of these students go to the United States. Around 15 percent go to Italy, and 10 percent to both England and Germany. A little less than 10 percent go to Australia, and around 5 percent go to Canada.

No matter where a student chooses to study, there are some things universities around the world need. First, all students must graduate (毕业) from high school before they can apply (申请) to a university. Most universities also need some kind of test for students to enter the university. Universities in the United States, Australia, and Canada usually need some kind of standardized exam, such as the SAT in the United States. Students who do not come from English-speaking countries also must take a test such as the TOEFL in the United States and Canada to show they know enough English to study in English. England and Australia require students to take the IELTS.

In most countries, students must apply to each university they hope to go to. However, students applying to universities in England can use one form to apply to six universities at one time through the British Council (英国文化学会). Many students like this because it can save them a lot of time and money. For universities in other countries, students must fill out different forms for each university and pay a fee with each application (申请).

Some things haven’t changed at all since the year 2008. For example, my grandparents started school at 8 o’clock every morning, just like me. However, my grandfather says he had to get up at 6:30, make his own breakfast and get dressed, and then cycle twenty minutes to school. But I can stay in bed until 7:30. Then our house robot wakes me up, gives me a clean school uniform to wear, and makes my breakfast. I like hamburgers and French fries very much. But my mother has programmed(给…编程序)the robot to give them to me only three times a week because fast food is not healthy. I leave the flat at 7:55, and it takes me two minutes to get to my school, which is on the first five floors of the building where I live. There are a few differences between our school and schools fifty years ago: we don’t use pens and paper any more, but very light, very thin computers and we write everything on them. However, we study almost the same subjects as people studied fifty years ago-Chinese, English, Maths, Science, Geography, History. Homework? Yes, we have homework to do, too. Each student has a homework pad. The pad looks like a piece of paper, but it’s actually a computer. Paper books are really expensive, so we usually buy cheap computer books. You just touch the screen to turn the page. I have to do my maths homework every week. I think maths is useless(无用的) because

we never need to use maths in our daily life. Computers do everything for us. But our maths teacher says that if people stop studying maths, they’ll forget how to think and become like D) Zhang Ming can always wear a clean school uniform. vegetables. Well, I want

If you can't come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility (责任) to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher's job to remind you of missed assignments. You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make -up (补考)tests, you should take the tests within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test. Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the USA it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late. In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name, not "teacher". Also you should use Mr. Miss, Ms. or Mrs. before the last name (such as Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don't do these until the break.

13. 14. If you don’t know how much water you need, I’m not surprised. Different advice in recent newspapers appears to be against the old “8-a-day” advice we all grew up with. Is it necessary to drink down eight glasses of water daily, or is this already out of date? We’ve heard for years that eight glasses of water daily is necessary for a person to keep healthy. Your weight loss and health depend on it. Drink eight glasses of water daily and see clearer skin, better sleep, and improve eyesight. We’re warned of losing water without at least eight glasses. But, there are some new ideas of examining your daily diet, including what you eat, as well as what you drink. The answer is … you need what you need! If it’s summer, you need more. if you’re exercising, you need more. If you’re a “normal” inactive person, and not exercising more than 15-20 minutes daily, you need no more than four glasses of water daily. Most drinks can be counted as part of your daily water intake. Although the World Health Organization suggests that eight cups, the old “8-a-day” rule is based on studies on people under difficult situations, including soldiers at high altitude and hospitalized patients what you and I need is different.

1. Is the writer surprised if you don’t know how much water you

need?
