North China has suffered serious smog（霧霾）recently, especially in big cities like Beijing. What are the reasons for the problem? One of the reasons is the car emission(汽車(chē)尾氣排放). With more and more cars on the road, there’s no doubt that the climate（氣候）is becoming more and more terrible.

As we know, more and more people like driving in China. On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off(炫耀). What’s more, years of research has show that one of other reasons for the traffic problem is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. Most of them only care about the speed rules.

Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the climate is very serious and set up a much more perfect traffic control system to solve the traffic pressure.

Do you know Roma people? They were called Gypsies（吉普賽人）by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa). About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland.

Today, the Roma are now living all over the world. They have kept their language and many customs. For example, it’s important for Roma to marry other Roma. It’s also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.

Romany is the language of the Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.

Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.

Roma don’t usually assimilate（同化） into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them-treasures（財(cái)富） from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves（奴隸）, and have been forced to change their names.

But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “There is a will within us to continue to live as a people,” says George Kaslov, whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago. “All the other ethnic（種族） groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma, We hold out.”

1.What does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean?

A．People who move from place to place.

B．People who come from Roma.

C．People who have their own homeland.

2.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．George Kaslov has a strong will to live on.

B．The Roma still keep their customs and language.

C．The Roma are finding ways to keep the gold of their own.

3.What can we infer（推斷） about the Roma according to the passage?

A．Most of the Roma live in very unusual houses.

B．Most Roma get married either when they are very young or very old.

C．Their culture is very different from other European cultures.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To tell readers about an interesting culture.

B．To tell us why the Roma need our help.

C．To show us how all people are similar.

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Brave Roma Travelers

B．Famous Roma Music.

C．The Roma: Past and Present

Now and then we may all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes medicine can’t drive the pain or hurt away. A sick person does not get well after taking enough medicine. This ever happened to one man. He was not getting well even if he had been in hospital for nearly a month. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor. He saw laughable films and read funny comic books. Something wonderful happened! Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest well. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so.

Here is another sick man. He had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors tried every effort to stop it from hurting, but failed. Then the man began to draw pictures in his mind. He “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog that was biting (咬) his back and made him feel a lot of pain. Then the man talked softly to the dog and touched its head gently. He soon made friends with the dog and the dog didn’t bite him any more. To everyone’s surprise, his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your own heads. Stay happy and well!
