In American schools there is something called Home-coming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a home-coming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation (畢業(yè)) day. Students plan Home-coming Day for many weeks in advance.
Several days before Home-coming ,students start to decorate (裝飾)the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Home-coming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths (攤位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band (樂隊)comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Home-coming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Home-coming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.
Home-coming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy Home-coming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

The London Olympic Games are coming soon. This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the exciting games in 3-D on CCTV.
When you watch 3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair of glasses. The 3-D glasses make the people and the things on the screen look like they are in the room with you.
3-D, means having three *dimensions: *width, height and *depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eye work. Because the *pupils of a person’s eyes are about 6.5cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from different *angle. Our eyes send the two pictures to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye make us see depth.
While watching 2-D films, we don’t have to wear the special glasses. We see the pictures in two dimensions, each eye get the same information. This is because there is only one way of watching it.
So the aim of 3-D technology is to get a different picture into each eye of the person. It uses two film *projectors. One *projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture. When we are in the cinema, we can see different pictures in each eye at the same time with the help of the 3-D glasses.
While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we are watching. However, some people are against watching 3-D films. One of the reasons is the 3-D glasses makes the screen of the film or TV look darker. It is bad for eyes. What’s more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the pictures.  
小題1:Paragraph 3 mainly tells us __________.
A．how we see things in 3-D B．how we watch the Olympic Games
C．how 3-D films are made D．where we watch 3-D films or TV
小題2:When we watch a 2-D film, each of our eyes get ________ information.
A．noB．differentC．darkD．the same
小題3:Which is the following is right according to the passage?
A．We don’t have to wear 3-D glasses if we watch games in 3-D on TV.
B．The 3-D technology is based on the way the human ear and eye work.
C．All the people can have fun watching 3-D movies or TV for a long time.
D．3-D glasses make us see different pictures in each eye at the same time.
小題4:Why are some people against watching 3-D films? Because ____________.
A．they make them more excited or sadder
B．3-D glasses make the screen look darker
C．3-D films make all people get headaches
D．they dislike watching the Olympic Games

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. If they see their weak points and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as(只要) they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.
小題1:Why did many men succeed?
A．Because they had good education.
B．Because they wanted very much to become well-known.
C．Because they worked hard.
D．Because their families were very rich.
小題2:What can a teacher do according to the famous teacher in England?
A．A teacher can make his pupils men of strength and courage.
B．A teacher can make his pupils worthy.

小題3:If young people depend on their own efforts, _______________.
A．they are sure to be very famous in the world

Pollution problems are becoming more and more serious. One of them is called “white pollutions” caused by plastic, such as shopping bags, boxes and cups. In China, about three billion plastic shopping bags are used every day, which results in a great waste of resources(資源) and heavy environment pollution. Luckily, the government has stopped us from using free plastic bags, telling all stores and supermarket not to provide customers(顧客) with free plastic bags since June 1,2008. From then on, people have been supposed to use cloth bags and shopping baskets instead of plastic bags in order to protect our environment.
Now, more and more people have realized the importance of using the cloth bags and shopping baskets. For one thing it can protect our environment, for another it can also save energy. Yet we have more things to do to solve the problem of “white pollution”!
小題1:Is “white pollution” caused by plastic?

Walk to school every day? That will work, but not if you like sleep in. If you like bad smells and crowding(擁擠), the bus might be your best Choice. But why not a bicycle? A bicycle will get you there faster than your feet and will save your money.

Cycling every day helps people build with city healthier hearts and stronger muscles(肌肉). Scientists say a 30-minute ride every day can help you lose weight.
