Blood donation, also called blood banking, is a wonderful thing to do. It is an easy and direct way to contribute to social work and help the community. It helps to save lives and helps those who are in need of blood due to bad condition or the heavy loss of blood during operations or in accidents.

About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not go to classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools,” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cybershool called Common-wealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical(技术的) services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computer when necessary.
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests honor at their graduation.
1.What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
A. They have to take long bus rides to school.
B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C. They receive money from traditional public schools.
D. They do well in traditional school program.
2.What is a problem with cyberschools?
A. Their equipment costs a lot of money.
B. They get little support from the state government.
C. It is hard to know students’ progress in learning.
D. The students find it hard to make friends.
3.Cyberschools are getting popular because ________.
A. they are less expensive for students
B. their students can work at their own speed
C. their graduates are more successful in society
D. they serve students in a wider age range(范围)
4.We can infer that the author of the text is ________.
A. unprejudiced(无偏见的) in his description(描述) of cyberschools
B. excited about the future of cyberschools
C. doubtful about the quality of cyberschools
D. disappointed at the development of cyberschools
5. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
A. About 67% of the students in the USA go to cyberschools nowadays.
B. Cyberschools will take the place of traditional schools in the future.
C. Cyberschools are the most popular form of education now in the USA.
D. Not everybody likes cyberschools.

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
1.The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. early B. mostly C. quickly D. smoothly
2.Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.
A. they are cold to each other
B. they look away from each other
C. they misunderstand each other’s body languages
D. they are introduced at an early age
3. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A. They eat and sleep together.
B. They watch each other’s behaviors.
C. They learn to speak each other’s language.
D. They know something from each other’s voices.
4.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A. have common interests B. are less different than was thought
C. have a common body language D. are not so smart as was expected
5. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A. We should learn to get along well with others
B. We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals.
D. We should learn more body languages.
