Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
In some cities the rubbish is c1. and taken outside of city to a dump (垃圾场). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is l2. or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the rubbish system. The system takes away the u3. water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.
To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to c4. the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be p5. on the rubbished-filled land. F6., a house or garden may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
In o7. cities, the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns e8. except the metal (金属). Sometimes the metal can be used again in f9. where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change i10. something called humus (腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she asked. “how heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers come out from 8oz (盎司) to 20oz.
She replied. “The real weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it fro an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb (麻木). In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like the glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel numb-unable to do anything.”
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
根据上下文内容判断正（T）误（F）
1.The psychologist didn’t ask if the glass of water was half empty or half full.
2.According to the passage, the stress in our life is just like the weight of the glass of water.
3.People often feel had when having stresses because they think about them for a short time.
4.The writer expressed his opinion through telling a story.
5.The best title of the passage can be “Let go of your stresses”.
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone, which makes me unusual. Anyway, the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1
The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not appear, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2
The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life.” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Odey and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to save her.
Point 3
The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing amnager of Haha Dcutsch. Card Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4
The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says. “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near — but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5
The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers at the same time on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line connected to the computer, we can access (存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
1.How do you understand Point 1?
A.People don’t communicate without telephone.
B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C.People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D.People communicate more because of more traffic.
2.Which of the following best shows people’s opinion towards mobile phones?
A.Mobile phones help people deal with the things that happens suddenly.
B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D.Mobile phones are part of people’s life.
3.Which points do you think improve people’s life?
a. Point 1. b. Point 2. c. Point 3. d. Point 4. c. Point 5.
A.c, d B.a, e C.a, e D.b, e
4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers at the same time through ________.
A.the TV screen B.a fax machine
C.the phone line connected to the computer D.a microphone
5.The best title for the passage is ________.
A.Phone Power B.Kinds of Phone
C.How to Use Phones D.Advantage of Phones
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (脑灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles (肌肉).
The study also found the effect is great when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals that in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure (结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language.” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the relationship between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.

A.science on learning a second language B.man’s ability of learning a second language
C.that language can help brain power D.language learning and maths study
2.The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ________.
A.a researcher on language learning B.a second language learner

A.say language is also a kind of physical (身体的) labor
B.show that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C.show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
4.We may know from the scientific findings that ________.
A.the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is
B.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C.the experience of learning a second language has bad influence on people’s brain
D.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
5.In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A.learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B.early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C.Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
