There are many ways of putting out a fire. You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them. Stepping on cigarettes shuts off the air and puts out the fire.
Many fires are put out with water. Water cools the materials that are burning. It helps make the fire die out. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The steam keeps air from the fire and helps put it out.
Some fires can not be put out with water. Suppose a tank full of gasoline(汽油)is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the water would sink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on top of the water on the fire and flow over the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread. Gasoline fires should be put out with sand or with chemicals of some kind, such as that used in some fire extinguishers(灭火器). People often put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them. This is because .
A. the burning cigarettes are too hot to touch
B. it helps to stop smoking
C. it shuts off the air and makes the fire go out According to paragraph 2, what will happen to the water if it is poured on the fire?
A. Some of the water will turn into steam and keep air from the fire.
B. Most of the water will flow away.
C. The water will be absorbed by the fire. Gasoline fire should be put out .
A. with hot wate
B. with nothing but sand
C. with sand or chemicals
When Webster was young,he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in class. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be interesting to the American children,he wrote three books with many American examples.
Webster worked hard to change the spelling of American English. He wanted words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced,for example,he thought the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. And he tried many ways to ask people to help him do this.
One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. “Young man,”he said,“when you print any book in the future,please don't spell the words like the English people do. For example,when you see these words:theatre,centre, colour,and labour,please always print them as theater,center,color and labor.” The boy studied it and answered,“I agree with you,but I must ask my boss first.”
With the money he made from his books,Webster could start his great work,which took him more than twenty years to finish the first American English dictionary. And today,Webster's dictionary is thought to be the most important American English dictionary in the whole world.Webster didn't like the books used in American schools because________
A.he was born in America

A.He was for it.
B.He was against it.
C.He had no idea about it.

Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”
The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood-Our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what we should do once this“cheese”on which we are so dependent is moved?
“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely,” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently. The whole passage is about_________.
A.a bestseller in the US |

After a study showed that one in every ten meals in the country may be cooked in with dirty oil, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on Thursday issued an emergency notice (发布紧急通知)to restaurants nationwide, warning them against recycling oil.
The swill-oil is cooking oil refined from kitchen waste that has been recycled. Although it looks clean and clear, it’s actually so dangerous to people’s health that it may cause cancer.
According to a report, the swill-oil business is extremely profitable. Recycling one ton of kitchen waste will produce 130 kg of swill oil. With its price being half that of normal cooking oil, a profit(利润)of 1.5 to 2 billion yuan is produced in the whole swill-oil business in the country every year. The profit is almost 200%, so it’s easy to understand why the business is so hot.
He Dongping, a professor from Wuhan Polytechnic(WHPU) said, “To stop the use of dirty oil should start at its source, kitchen waste. And the first step is to find a good way of collecting kitchen waste.” “However, it might take about 10 years before China could solve the problem completely,” he added.According to the study, ______ of us may have eaten the food cooked by dirty oil.
A. few B. nobody C. manyThe underlined sentence “the swill-oil business is extremely profitable” means that the swill-oil business is really a ________.
A. big money-maker
B. common situation
C. terrible thing We can infer(推断)from this passage that _______.
A. the biggest problem is that restaurants produce too much kitchen waste.
B. the way of dealing with kitchen waste isn’t good enough now.
C. we can stop the use of swill-oil in a short time if we take it serious. The main topic of this passage is about _______.
A. restaurant service
B. food safety
C. eating habits

Last year, I a chance to be an exchange student in the UK. I found many differences between schools in the UK and those in China.
In the UK, the students have six every day. Students can choose to take part in different activities. In China, kids are too much pressure. In the UK, kids seem to be more than us, yet they have their own difficulties as well. Every they need to write about two essays. Every unit they still need to write a big essay to build their opinions. It takes them a long time to in the library, sometimes the whole morning.
Life in the UK is really different. Children have more time to develop their interests. They can choose to do things they like at an age than us. But it also means that children should make their own decision and take good care of themselves.
Please send me an , telling your life as an exchange student in Australia.
