The word“day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year,  we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night,  we are using“day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball,  the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

1.When the Western Hemisphere is having day,  the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.

　A. both day and night　　　　　B. day

　C. neither day nor night　　　　D. night

2.A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.

Most of you know this mathematical game, of course. You and your friend draw crosses and circles on a sheet of paper. You do it one after another. The first pupil who gets three marks in a row wins. But do you know that you can play this game another way and it will become more interesting? You must try to make your friend win. If you get your three marks in a row, you don't win — you lose!

It is more difficult to play this game the other way. The second pupil can always win (if he plays the right way), but he may not win if the first pupil begins with his mark in the center. Then if the first pupil always takes a place on the other side of his friend's mark, nobody will win.

If your friend does not know the secret which we have explained, you must play each time so as to leave him the greatest number of ways to win. You may try a few games and you will see how interesting it is to play the game this way.

1. The passage tells us that it is _____ to play this game.

A. interesting    B. difficult   C. impossible    D. unusual

2.What s the new rule of the game if we play it another way?

A. The one who gets his three marks in a row wins.

B. The one who makes his friend win wins.

C. The one who plays the right way wins.

D. The one who makes his friend lose wins.

3.According to the new rule of the game, the second player can always win if the first player __.

A. begins with his mark in the center

B. takes a place on the other side of his friend's mark

C. tries to get his three marks in a row first

D. doesn't begin with his mark in the center

4. What result does the following picture show?

○ = the 1st player   × = the 2nd player

A. Both of the players win.         B. The first player wins.

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

Recently some houses in our community have been broken into. I would like to give you some suggestions about how to prevent from stealing (盗窃).

First, let’s talk about lighting. We should turn on the outside lights at night. Inside the house, it’s a good idea to put automatic timers (自动定时器) on lights. When you are out, it will still look like someone is at home. If you live in an apartment building, make sure that there’s good lighting in the garage and in the hallways.

Next, let’s talk about locks. First of all, cheap locks are not safe. You should buy special locks to lock your doors and windows. 83 Remember to lock your doors and windows, even when you leave for just a minute. Did you know that half of the thieves break in through unlocked doors and windows?

My next suggestion is not to keep lots of money in the house. It’s wise to put your money in a bank. You should put marks on your other valuables, like television, stereos and cameras, so that the police can return them to you if they are found.

84Believe it or not, if you follow all of these suggestions above, your house will be safer.

（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。

1. What does the phrase “break into” mean in Chinese?

2. How many suggestions on stopping breaking into does the writer offer in the passage?

________

（二） 将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。

3._____________________________________________________________________

4.____________________________________________________________________

（三）请给短文拟一个适当的标题。

5.____________________________________________________________________
