Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power(电力) for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(工厂) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water. Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer. Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die.
Lake Victoria is __________.

A.an important lake in Africa
B.the largest lake in the world
C.the source of water, food and power for America
D.the only source for the Nile River

What does “It is shrinking” most probably mean?

A.It is becoming larger.
B.It is becoming more beautiful.
C.It is becoming smaller.
D.It is becoming more useful.

The water level of Lake Victoria is now __________.

A.2.5 meters B.11.9 meters C.14.4 meters D.9.4 meters

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Rain water is the only source for the lake.
B. There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.
C. The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.
D The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000.
According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?

A.People must build more power plants.
B.More sources of water must be found.
C.Every country should offer some money to Africa.
D.All the people living in the area should move to another place.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.
The passage mainly tells us                  .

A.two important ways to keep safe in cars B.how air bags work to make cars safe
C.how seat belts work to make cars safe D.why we must tie the egg to the skateboard

The writer gives the example of the egg to _.

A.tell us that eggs are easy to break
B.show how to wear a seat belt
C.show why it's important to wear a seat belt in a car
D.tell us what a skateboard is

Seat belts can make us safer because .

A.we are interested in them
B.they can stop us from hitting other cars
C.they can help us stay safely on the seats
D.they are made of strong materials

Air bags are important for cars because _.

A.they are made of plastic
B.they can also help us to keep safe in a car
C.they can keep cars running slowly
D.they are put in front of and next to the seats

Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

A.It won't be dangerous if there are seat belts or air bags in a car.
B.Now most of new cars still have only one air bag.
C.When a car hits something, its air bags will come out a few minutes later.
D.Volvo was the first to use seat belts.

If we find a bird nest (巢), we will have a good place of watching and knowing about birds. Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June.
