One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold one, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say “             .”
Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka. It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non－alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
小題1:What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words)

小題2:What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)

Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarshipto study medicine—but Coach JohnThompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: "Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things."

So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others—producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: "I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe."

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （紅外線）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (殺蟲(chóng)劑)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest(害蟲(chóng))problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements（改進(jìn)）ininfrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,” says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
小題1:In what situation will plants have a fever?(No more than 8 words)(2marks)
小題2:How can we apply pesticide spraying precisely?(No more than 10 words)(2 marks)
小題3:Why may infrared scanning technology by brought back into operation?(No more than 13 words)(3 marks)
小題4:What is the biggest problem that might prevent bringing infrared scanning technology back?(No more than 7 words)(3 marks)

“Because it’s the school they bad hundreds of years ago”
Margie read the book for a while，then said，“Anyway，they had a teacher？”

“But I wouldn’t want a strange in my house to teach me．”Margie argued
Tommy laughed．“The teacher didn’t live in the house．They had a special building and all the kids went there”
“And all the kids learnt the same thing?”
“Sure，if they were the same age”
They weren’t even half-finished when Margle’s mother called．“Margfa! School!”
Margie went into the school next to her bedroom，and the electric teacher was waiting far her them．It was the same way every day except Saturday and Sunday
The monitor lit up，and it said，“Please put yesterday’s homework in the proper hole”
Margie sighed and threw a dirty sock at the machine．She was thinking about the old days．All the kids from the whole neighborhood came to the school，Iaughing and shouting in the yard．They could even help one another with the homework
And the teachers were people!
