　　Wang Bing's father began smoking when he was a freshman(大學一年級學生)in college．His friend passed him his first cigarette．He has now been smoking for more than 30 years．

　　It's a classic example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes, except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age．

　　It has become a major concern(擔憂)in China that many teenagers begin to smoke．A survey showed that 22.5％ of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8％ of them smoked regularly．

　　For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟)and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen．

　　The social environment also plays an important role in attracting teenagers to smoking．They are used to seeing their elders, especially male family members, smoking at home．Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers．

　　To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have limited money to spend on them．

　　Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes．A survey shows that 92.5％ of the students know smoking will be bad for their health．If we persuade them in a proper way, most of them may give up smoking．

　　All in all, the society, the government, the school and the family should join together to take the responsibility for an anti－smoking(禁煙)campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans and warnings on cigarette packs．

　　Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．

　　Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites．Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．

　　We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour-exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．

　　Space is not empty!Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10－12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other．

　　TOKYO, JAPAN－What do you do when you see a cockroach(蜂螂)? Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?

　　When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward．These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots．Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微處理器)．Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack．The signals control the movements of the cockroaches．

　　Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can't, ”says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University．In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras．They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦礫)to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone．

　　This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important．The government is giving the scientists ＄ 5 million for this research．

　　First, the researchers breed(培育)hundreds of cockroaches．They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches．Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(觸須)．They put small packs where the antennae were．The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves．“Cockroaches are very strong, ”says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University．“They can lift 20 times their own weight．”

　　With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs．When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves．The problem is that the cockroaches don' always move in the right direction．

(1)

The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ________．

[　　]

A．

they want cockroaches to do things people can' in the future

B．

they want to control the movements of the cockroaches

C．

they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes

(2)

What can cockroaches do to help people?

[　　]

A．

They can lift 20 times their own weight．

B．

They can help people to carry very small cameras．

C．

They can breed hundreds of cockroaches．

D．

They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake．

(3)

Scientists control cockroaches' movements ________．

[　　]

A．

by removing their wings

B．

by sending signals from the remote control

C．

by using very small cameras

D．

by removing their antennae

(4)

What problem do the researchers meet with?

[　　]

A．

The cockroaches sometimes don' move．

B．

The cockroaches sometimes move in the wrong direction．

C．

The cockroaches are too big to move through earthquake rubble．

D．

　　Text messaging, or simply “texting”, with allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today．

　　The advantages of texting are obvious．Texting helps to save money．If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling．Texting helps to save time．Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second．Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone．Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don't want others to hear what you are talking on the phone．These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it．They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking．

　　However, texting has its disadvantages．Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then．When your phone box gets too full, you can't receive any more messages．You may therefore miss some important information．

　　What's more, if you don't do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous．It can cause injuries and even death．It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year．In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011．Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60％ more probably to have an accident than others．When people are texting, they don't notice other people or things around them．To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving．About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving．

　　Texting is a wonderful way of communication．However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings．

(1)

How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers．But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents．"The door to his room is always shut．" Joanna noted．

　　Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter．"She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me, " said Mark．"Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something．Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady．The problem is figuring out which time is which．"

　　Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds．"In fact, parents are first on the list．" said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers．"This completely changes during the teen years．" Riera explained．"They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last．"

　　Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them．To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them．And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young．Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them．
