【題目】 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 for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power 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 meter. 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 (factories) 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.

【1】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.

【2】What does the underlined sentence “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.

【3】The water level of Lake Victoria is now ________.

A.2.5 metersB.11.9 metersC.14.4 metersD.9.4 meters

【4】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.

【題目】 How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness, patience, and self-discipline (自律)? Now more and more parents worry about the negative and violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, in the movies and on the Internet. So some parents are turning to fairy tales as a way to teach their young ones how to behave in society.

It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil(邪惡) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones in our lives.

What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales ? In The Princess and the Pea(《豌豆公主》) , a poorly dressed girl who says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid (《美人魚》), the mermaid who lives under the sea longs to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio (《木偶奇遇記》), a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.

Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.
