It is two months since MH730 first went missing in the early hours of March 8th, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing．Malaysia Airlines said it was terribly sorry that MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean．People are losing hope that the passengers on the could return alive and realize they should know how to save themselves when accidents like this happen in the air．
1985, an Australia professor, Ed Galea, has interviewed 2,000 survivors of 105 airplane accidents, searching for the keys to survival（n．幸存）and found out golden rules after years of research．
First, make sure that the airline does not keep your family members too far away on the plane, if you are traveling in family group． ? It’s natural that while feeling in danger, you’ll probably want to meet the family before you can calmly move out．
Second, how do you untie（解开）your seat belt on a plane? By lifting a latch． you can’t untie your seat belt, you can hardly run away and your chances of survival will drop．
Third, the to the exits（逃生口）, the more likely you are to survive．Count exactly how many rows you are from the nearest two exits．Why two exits? Because this helps you find at least even in the sudden dark during an accident．
Fourth, we would be safer if airline seats faced backward, according to Galea’s research．But the problem is that most of the passengers traveling with their back facing the direction of travel．
Fifth, “Smoke is dangerous to your health．If you take in too much of it, your will die,” explains Galea．You must learn how to use a smoke mask．Without the knowledge of putting on a mask, you’ll time trying to put it on—time that could be used to run away．
At last, listen to the flight attendants before flying and look at everything shown on a video or a safety card．Always be prepared．Good luck to you．

People use their mouths for many things．They eat, talk, shout and sing．They smile and they kiss．In the English language, there are many meanings using the word “mouth”．But some of them are not so nice．
For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest（抗议）and say “Do not bad mouth me．”

Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say．When this happens, the friend might say, “You took the words right out of my mouth!”
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family．There is an expression for this, too．You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”．
This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives “from hand to mouth”．This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food．

It’s something familiar to all parents of young children： you’re in a busy shopping street and your child wants to pee（小便）and he just can’t hold it any longer．But two parents’ decision to let their child relieve（释放）himself has caused much attention in China．
By now, it seems, the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a crowded Hong Kong shopping street．A mother holds a nappy（尿布）while her two-year-old pees．A passerby took pictures which then were put online．The woman explained that they had found a public toilet（厕所）but saw there was a long queue, so she had no other choice but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead．
Why has this one child’s act caused so much upset? Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar（$250）fine（罚款）．But the on-line chatter has put all the attention on the fact that this family were tourists from mainland China, rather than being locals．“For Hong Kongers, people might think from time to time that mainlanders are not so polite and often break the public rules,” says Martin Yip of BBC．Charmaine Chui, who was born in Hong Kong, told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants．“Hong Kong is a beautiful, modern city．What do these people think of it?” she says．
In mainland China, there has also been criticism of the parents’ behavior．But most of the people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable as they had tried to find a toilet for their child and the mother used a paper nappy rather than simply allowing the baby to pee on the ground．

A．on a crowded shopping street

Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities．The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing．These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses．
Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s．At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared．Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life．Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life．
At first, graffiti artists used pens．But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced．They turned to using spray paint（喷漆罐）．Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area．And it also allowed them to work quickly．
At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti．Some people say it makes the cities dirty．It isn’t allowed by many local governments in America．The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti．The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education．Other people think it is a form of art．In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books．
1.Which is the present meaning of the underlined word “graffiti” now?
A．书法 B．沙画 C．涂鸦 D．油画
2.How many forms of expression of city life are mentioned in the second paragraph（段落）?
A．One． B．Two． C．Three． D．Four．
3.Why did graffiti artists use spray paint?
A．Because they could work quickly．
B．Because they could spend less money．
C．Because they could paint a smaller area．
D．Because they could express themselves clearly．
4.What’s the article mainly about?
A．The meaning of graffiti．
B．Different expressions of graffiti．
