In the last passage we've already talked about some dangerous plants, but we don’t want to give anyone the wrong idea. The truth is that some plants can hurt you, but most are completely harmless. In fact, there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans.

That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has been using plants for at least 4, 800 years. One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng（人参）. Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs（肺）, clean your blood and do many other thing. Ginseng also provides energy for people. In fact, many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng.

In some parts of U.S., there is a plant called lady fern（蹄盖蕨）. This is the plant you need if you’ve been stung by a bee, or if you’ve got a small burn or a cut. Lady ferns are great for making your skin feel better. All you have to do is roll one of its leaves and make it into pieces in your hands. The juice inside the leaf will help your skin feel better.

If you’re hiking in Europe, look for a flower called tansy（艾菊）. This yellow flower is a natural insects' enemy. You just rub it on your skin, and insects will leave you alone.

Sage（鼠尾草）is one of the most useful plants in the world. Because it has so many uses it's also quite valuable. Human beings have been using sage for a very long time. In Europe before fridges appeared, people used sage to keep food. Over the years, people have used sage to fight all kinds of health problems. Sage has been used to treat colds, stop muscle（肌肉）problems and reduce（减少） swelling. In fact, sage comes from the Latin word “salvere”, which means “to be saved”.

1.How many kinds of useful plants are mentioned in the passage?

A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5

2.Which of the following about ginseng is NOT TRUE?

A.It's still being used in Chinese medicine.

B.It can make people feel sleepy.

C.It can be found in many modern energy drinks.

There are countless myths（神话）to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural Moon.

China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back on to the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. “This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away,” Wu added.

If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan in electricity every year if a new moon lit up 50 square kilometers of the city. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position（位置）relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6, 400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24hours. That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China, reducing the need for streetlights.

1.Above which city is China preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky by 2020?

A.Beijing B.Shanghai C.Chengdu D.Wuhan

2.The underlined word “reflect” in Paragraph2 means“________”.

A.吸收 B.反射 C.照耀 D.覆盖

3.The man-made moon will be about ________above the Earth.

A.500 kilometers B.380,000 kilometers C.50 kilometers D.6,400 kilometers

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The man-made moon will be as bright as the natural one.

B.The man-made moon will work similarly to the natural one.

C.The man-made moon has already lit up the city of Chengdu.

D.The man-made moonlight will cover the whole china.

5.Which part of a newspaper may this passage be from?

A.Culture B.Sports C.Education D.Science

Once upon a time, there was a farmer living in the State of Song. He grew crops（庄稼）in a big field very hard every day. There stood a big tree stump（树桩）in the field. One day, he was working in the field when he saw a rabbit run into the stump, break its neck and die accidentally（意外地）.

1.That night he thought: “There is no need for me to work so hard every day. All I have to do is wait by the tree stump and pick up the rabbit that runs into it.” So from then on he stopped farming, and just sat by the tree stump waiting for another rabbit to come and run into it. 2.Crops died and his field became waste gradually（逐渐地）. But never did he see another rabbit run into the tree stump.

3.They thought he took the accident for the inevitable（必然的）.

In the story, this farmer wanted to live a better life by hoping for having unexpected good luck, but he was too lazy and foolish.4.No one can gain anything if he doesn’t work hard.

Nowadays, people use the phrase “waiting for rabbits by a tree stump” to describe those who just wait and dream of reaping（收获）without sowing. 5.We should also keep in mind that it is a waste of time waiting for something that only happens accidentally in our life. Just come down to earth.

A.Day in and day out, he waited and waited.

B.We should stop daydreaming and get to something practical.

C.People in the village laughed at him for his foolish behavior.

D.Happily, the farmer took the rabbit home and cooked a delicious meal for himself.

E.As the English saying goes, “no pains, no gains.”

In order to get away from the busy life in the big city, two young men decided to spend a holiday in the countryside. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery and fresh air there. One day, while taking a walk together, they crossed a large field.

“Look out!” one of the young men shouted, because a bull（公牛） appeared and began to chase（追赶）them. The bull looked like a monster and made a terrible roar（咆哮）, rolling its big eyes. They were very scared. They ran as fast as they could, but the bull kept running after them.

Finally, one of the men climbed up a tree. The other jumped into a hole, but soon he came out of it. And then the bull chased him back into the hole.

“Stay there!” his friend shouted, but soon the man came out again, and again the bull chased him right back.

The same thing went on another three times.

At last, the man in the tree got angry and shouted to his friend, “How foolish you are! I have told you to stay in the hole for a while! Why are you always coming out?”

“It's easy for you to say,” the other man said more angrily. “But there is a bear in the hole!”

So you see, sometimes things are not what they appear to be. We should always try to stand in others' shoes and look from there.

1.Where did the two young men spend a holiday?

_________________________________________________________

2.What animal appeared and began to chase them?

__________________________________________________________

3.How many times in total did the man in the hole come out of it?
