Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影響) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18C, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (氣壓) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade (攝氏度).
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

A．a(chǎn) rain B．very hot weather

Comets(彗星) are parts of our solar system. Like the planets, they go around the sun.
But comets are not made of solid rocks like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.
The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.
A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion(運動). That’s because the moon is far away.
Each year astronomers(天文學(xué)家) discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go away out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.
Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.
But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer（暗淡的） than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.
小題1:What is this passage mostly about?
A．Comets and the sun.
B．Why comets are like snowballs.
C．Who discovered the first comet.
D．Facts about comets.
小題2:How does the writer help the reader understand what a comet looks like?
A．By telling about a famous one.
B．By explaining how far away it is.
C．By describing how fast it moves.
D．By describing it as a dirty snowball.
小題3:What is the most likely reason the writer wrote this passage?
A．To give information about comets.
B．To tell readers about famous comets.
C．To explain the importance of comets.
D．To encourage readers to look for comets.

The Kowloon City Swimming Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and watch the students from the poolside. We will only be able to use the pool for one hour (2: 45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards on watch.

When it was getting dark, a wolf was walking along the road. Then he was surprised to see his huge shadow(影子) under his feet.
“Wow, I didn’t know I was so big!” The wolf was happy to know it.

People are busy working every day, so they do not have enough time to do exercises. As a result, many people become too fat or too thin. To keep our bodies healthy, we have to do exercises every day.
There are many kinds of exercises. Bending (彎腰) and stretching (伸展) helps us move easily. Before we play ball games or swim, it is better for us to do bending and stretching exercises first. This kind of exercise is sometimes called warm-up exercise. Running is also a good exercise. If we cannot run fast, we can Jog. Jogging means running slowly. Again, before we run or jog, we must do warm-up exercises. Also, we should not run or jog in busy streets. The air there is often dirty. Some people like weight lifting (舉重)because it can make their bodies strong. Also, we need to do some warm-up exercises before weight lifting.

If you want to deal with the association(交往) between boys and girls properly, here are some ‘dos and don’ts’ for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should get along with the other sex in public instead of in secret.
Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. Boys and girls in adolescence (青春期) are rich in feelings. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
小題1:The main idea of the passage is to _______.
A．tell students to keep away from early love
B．give some advice on how to associate(交往) between boys and girls
C．tell students how to make friends
D．teach boys how to talk with girls
小題2:We should get along with the other sex in the following ways EXCEPT _______.
A．with a good state of mindB．in real friendship
C．in publicD．in secret
小題3:If you are a shy person, you can _______.
A．find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B．only have a few friends of the same sex
C．not make friends with the other sex
D．not fall in love with other students easily I
小題4:The underlined word ‘ditch’ in the passage means‘_______’ in Chinese.
A．波浪B．泥潭C．圈套D．樹枝
小題5:A person at adolescence is _______.
A．complicated(復(fù)雜的) in feelings
B．good at making friends with each other
C．old enough to fall in love
D．easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information, and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases (短語) into a few letters called acronyms(首字母縮略詞). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms.
Some of them are:
BTW(by the way)     BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
info (information)    puter (computer)    pic (picture)      sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feeling”, such as:
: ) (happy)     :-( (sad) ;    : P (joking)   : O (surprised)
These days, many forums have picture feelings. For example:
happy          sad         angry        cool
There are even whole new words, like ‘newbie’ (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called ‘flaming’ the person.
It takes time to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups in the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
小題1: Why do people type acronyms?
A．To show their feelings.
B．To make jokes.
C．Because people can type them quickly.
D．In this way, newbies won’t understand them.
小題2:What does “My puter is not working well. :-( ” mean?
A．The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B．The person has to go away from their computer.
C．The person is angry at somebody.
D．The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
小題3:If someone is angry, what may he type?
A．B．C．LOLD．BRB
小題4:E-talk will probably_________.
A．keep changing
B．stay the same
C．be used by people on the telephone
D．be easy for newbies to understand
小題5:People can do the following through the Internet except _________.
A. doing shopping                B. writing diaries
C. eating foods                   C. playing games
