Most schools are going to start a program called B.Y.O.T.（bring your own technology）This program allows students to bring iPads, cell phones or other things to school for study. One aim（目标）for this program is that the students don’t need to carry textbooks any more. They can download math, science, social studies, and read textbooks on their iPads. Another one is that they can get free educational subjects to play in their free time!

Schools have set up a free Wi-Fi system just for the B.Y.O.T. program. Thank teachers for all their hard work to set this program up. I really think this program will go well in most schools and I also think the learning will be better than ever.

However, some schools will probably not allow this because they think that it will make kids mess around too much and they might break their iPads.

This program will let students have fun and learn at the same time. If you like your iPads and you like to read, school is getting started with reading with iPads. Many high schools and middle schools have already started and so have some primary schools. But most primary schools are coming along! Let’s tell them: Hurry! Get ready to learn!

1.In the program B.Y.O.T students usually go to school without ___________.

A. taking iPads　　 B. taking textbooks

C. learning math　　 D. learning Science

2.What is the program B.Y.O.T used for?

A. Saving money.　　 B. Playing.

C. Studying.　　 D. Making friends.

3.From the second paragraph we believe ________.

A. the writer is afraid of breaking the iPads

B. the writer disagrees （不赞同）to the program B.Y.O.T.

C. the writer agrees （赞同）to the program B.Y.O.T.

D. there are not enough iPads for kids at school

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Few schools have started the program.

B. You can’t learn while you have fun.

C. Primary schools do worst （最差）in the program.

Your body is special—no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.

What is inside my head?

Your head houses the most valuable part of your body-your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.

What is my skin（皮肤）for?

Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter（cm）. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure（愈合）and stop viruses （病毒）from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature（温度）drops.

How do I move?

Muscles（肌肉）are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move — whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.

Why do I breathe?

Your body needs to take in oxygen（氧气）from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.

What makes me sneeze（打喷嚏）?

When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.

What does my heart do?

Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist（拳头）and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body.

1.Which part is the most valuable part of your body?

A. My skin. B. My brain. C. My mouth. D. My nose.

2.If you have no skin covering your body, what would happen?

A. Viruses can’t get into our body easily.

B. Our body can be guarded（保护）by our hair.

C. Extra heat can only stay inside our body.

D. We can’t feel the changes in temperature.

3.What can you learn about your body?

A. Sneezing is a way to clear our nose.

B. Our heart is the same size from birth.

C. We take in carbon dioxide to stay alive.

D. Our muscles stop working when we cry.

4.Which is the best title for this passage?

A. What Your Body Needs

B. How Your Body Works

C. Why Your Body Grows

D. When Your Body Moves

Need to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery（投递）！Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.

People are surprised to hear this. “They think, ‘I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution, ”says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. “But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”

In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative（负面）effects（影响）,”says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.

Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing（包装）material（材料）, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products（产品）such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.

Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（CO2）（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.

Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.

“If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop,” says Prost. “People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait? ” Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost, “but we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.”

1.Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?

A. Because companies charge more for product returns.

B. Because people buy too many things they don’t need.

C. Because paper use has increased by 33 percent from 1986 to 1997.

D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material.

2.What do companies do to meet the needs of the next-day delivery?

A. Prepare more products.

B. Get more workers to pack.

C. Send the products by air.

D. Open more stores in cities.

3.What is probably the best title of the passage?

A. A Better Way to Shop?

B. A Different Lifestyle to Keep?

C. A Good Deal to Make?

D. A New Business to Start?

阅读短文，回答下面的问题。

Everyone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend for it. Here are some free or cheap ways for you to enjoy yourselves.

Try a hobby

While you’re out, take pictures of things you find. Taking pictures can make you notice the beauty around you. And you’ll get interesting photos. If you don’t have a camera or a mobile phone that can take pictures, you can try drawing. Drawing only needs a pencil and paper.

Get outside

Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun, especially if you go with a friend. Hike or ride a bicycle in a park. If you live in a city, you can also go window shopping.

Find an event

Libraries often hold free public events, stop by one to find out what’s going on. And while you’re there, borrow a book or movie for free. Museums and universities also hold free events.

Meet a friend

Relationships are the best things in life. Whatever you do, find someone to share it with. Invite a friend for a walk, an event or a time working on your hobby. If your friend comes in the afternoon, you don’t have to serve a meal. You can sit and talk, play computer games or card games or watch a movie.
