It’s something familiar to all parents of young children: you’re in a busy shopping street and your child wants to pee (小便) and he just can’t hold it any longer. But two parents’ decision to let their child relieve (釋放) himself has caused much attention in China.
By now, it seems, the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a crowded Hong Kong shopping street. A mother holds a nappy (尿布) while her two-year-old pees. A passerby took pictures which then were put online. The woman explained that they had found a public toilet (廁所) but saw there was a long queue, so she had no other choice but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead.
Why has this one child’s act caused so much upset? Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar ($250) fine (罰款). But the on-line chatter has put all the attention on the fact that this family were tourists from mainland China, rather than being locals. “For Hong Kongers, people might think from time to time that mainlanders are not so polite and often break the public rules,” says Martin Yip of BBC. Charmaine Chui, who was born in Hong Kong, told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants. “Hong Kong is a beautiful, modern city. What do these people think of it?” she says.
In mainland China, there has also been criticism of the parents’ behavior. But most of the people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable as they had tried to find a toilet for their child and the mother used a paper nappy rather than simply allowing the baby to pee on the ground.
【小題1】The child peed ________ in HK.

A.on a crowded shopping street B.in a public toilet
C.a(chǎn)t home D.in a restaurant
【小題2】The underlined phrase “answer the call of nature” means _________.
A.回歸自然 B.接自然打來的電話
C.上廁所 D.接電話
【小題3】Charmaine Chui feels _________ to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants.
A.understandable B.sorry
C.a(chǎn)ngry D.happy
【小題4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A policeman took photos of the 2-year-old child and put them online.
B.It’s OK for children under 12 to pee wherever they like in Hong Kong.
C.All the Chinese feel very angry about the parents’ behavior.
D.In mainland China, most of the people find the parents’ behavior understandable.

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable( 便攜式的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources(資源). State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff(職員) use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

Are you in a bad mood? Don’t worry! According to a new Australian study, a bad mood can actually be good for you. The study showed that being sad could help people to judge others more correctly and was also good for the memory.
The study was carried out by Professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales.“People in a bad mood paid more attention to the people and things around them than happy people .Happy people were more likely to believe anything they were told,”said Forgas

How green are you? Do you know how to be green?
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
【小題1】What is the passage about?

A.How to produce things.B.How to burn things.
C.How to help others.D.How to be green.
【小題2】 Which of the following is right?
A.Don’t waste things.B.Always throw away old things.
C.Always buy new things.D.Buy too many things from abroad.
【小題3】Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?
A.You can burn them.
B.You can use them again.
C.You can throw them away.
D.You can change them into something else.
【小題4】To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.
A.waste, reuse and recycleB.repair, burn and recycle
C.reduce, reuse and recycleD.reduce, waste and recycle.
【小題5】 The passage may come from ______.
A.a(chǎn) menuB.a(chǎn) dictionaryC.a(chǎn) storybookD.a(chǎn) magazine

請(qǐng)閱讀下面的這篇文章,根據(jù)所提供的信息,完成信息卡,把答案寫在答題卷指定的位置上。
As a student, you must have homework every day. How do you deal with your homework? When do you usually finish your homework? Here is some advice for you to help you finish your homework well.
Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(伸展) breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Don’t depend on Mum and Dad for help. Please try to find the answer yourself because you will learn much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or maths, don’t always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn’t work, you can also look at your textbooks carefully. They may help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don’t think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that’s aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes at the ages of 13-15. This, of course, depends on your ability to pay attention and stay on tasks.
