Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is? Believe it or not, there’s no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However ，it’s far more complicated (复杂的) than that.

Over time, many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be? That’s because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest! For example, there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney’s movie Mary Poppins: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie, should it count?

How about long words that actually describe something in the world? Scientists have come up with several possible choices. The name of a virus(病毒) totals 1,185 letters. There’s also a protein(蛋白质) whose name totals 1, 909 letters. Should these win the title? "Not so fast!” say some people. Are these words ever actually used? Can they even be pronounced? And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long?

If you’re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization(22 letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters) Or perhaps the word "smiles" is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a "mile between the first and the last letters!

1.Why does the author mention the underlined questions in Paragraph 3?

A. To ask for readers opinions.

B. To compare different ideas

C. To describe the condition

D. To show people’s doubt

2.How does the author sound in the last paragraph?

A. Proud B. Humorous C. Excited D. Surprised

3.What is the text mainly about?

A. English words change a lot as time goes by. B. Long words are often used in scientific fields

C. It is hard to decide what the longest word is. D. Why we can’ t understand some English words

Believe it or not, oceans and seas are easy to be harmed by the development of human society. They are also influenced by man-made pollution easily. It is human beings that do great harm to the ocean ecosystems(生态系统).

The coral reefs(珊瑚礁)are fine ecosystems that provide food and protection for many ocean creatures. The coral in almost all of the oceans is in danger from pollution.Chemicals from factories end up in the seas and oceans and destroy coral reefs. If the coral systems die some ocean creatures will be sure to die out.

Protecting the ocean also has something to do with the protection of ocean wildlife like dolphins. The fishing industry depends on modern ways to catch many fish in order to earn more money. But the nets for fishing also seize other sea animals. The fishing boat workers are advised to check their nets and set other ocean animals free. But the boats are in a hurry to make money and often other ocean animals are caught with fish.

Offshore oil spills(近海石油泄露) can destroy the ocean environment because oil kills all ocean life. The world depends on oil and because there is a great amount of oil off the shore of many countries, the need for oil is more important than the risk of the oil spill. However, the fact is that one human mistake can lead to an ocean environmental accident that will cause years of damage to the fine ocean ecosystems. Oil spills will kill all the creatures in the area of the spill. The oil will be washed up on shore and destroy the ecosystems along the shore including birds.

Everyone who cares about the environment should be interested in protecting the ocean, and all of us should do something for the protection of the ocean.

1.According to the passage, the ocean is harmed easily as a result of________.

A．the overuse of the oceans

B．the change of natural conditions

C．the increase of population by the sea

D．the increasing activities of humans

2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell readers?

A．How ocean creatures depend on coral reefs.

B．Coral reefs are home to ocean animals.

C．The great harm caused by factory pollution.

D．The importance of protecting coral systems.

3.The underlined work “seize” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced with“________”.

A．catch             B．attract            C．place             D．cover

4.Why do people continue to get oil in the sea at the risk of oil spills?

A．Because they believe the oil spill can be stopped.

B．Because there is a large amount of oil in the sea.

C．Because they are in great need of oil.

D．Because getting oil in sea is easier than on land.

Stay calm. It is normal that you feel sad and angry after quarrelling with her, but don't go and make big decisions like moving out, or running away from your home because not only will your friends and parents miss you , but it is dangerous for a teenager to do so.

Try to understand your mother. When your mom shouts and screams at you, she is not angry with you but she's disappointed about what you've done. This is because she cares a lot about you and doesn't want you to make bad choices which will do harm to your future. She is just trying to do you good. Remember it is never good to say "Mom I really hate you", because it has a bad effect on your relationship. Don't shout at your mom because she is your mother and she deserves respect from you. If you're angry with her, don't do things that would only make her angry.

Think of ways to get reconciled. After you quarrel with your mother, wait until she cools down a bit and if you dare not to speak face to face with her, find another way to approach her, for example, write a letter to her. By and by, you will find chances to talk to your mother. You should apologize to her first for your bad attitude and then tell her what you are thinking in your mind in a very polite way.

Believe it or not, going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United States. It

is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education--- or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school --- they may choose home schooling.

However, if a kid hates school, home schooling is probably not the escape he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the skills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.

Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources(资源). So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State schools often provide home-schooling parents with a curriculum(课程), books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.

1.According to American law, _______________.　

A. all kids shall go to school

B. all kids must receive education

C. home schooling parents shall receive continuing education

D. state schools must give support to home-schooling parents

Believe it or not, we all have an inner-child living inside of us. One of the greatest problems is people’s desire to silence the inner-child. Instead, welcoming this voice to the conversation can be very beneficial and help you in many areas of your life.

Why is it so important to listen to your inner child?

Do you remember you wanted to be an adult more than anything else when you were young? But now you’re an adult, and do you ever find yourself thinking, “I wish I were a kid again?” That’s where your inner-child comes in. That’s the voice inside of you telling you to have fun, be silly and let loose. Adult life is full of important responsibilities, but once in a while you just have to let go and have fun like a child. It’s healthy and good for the soul to not take things so seriously all the time.

We can tell bad choices and mistakes of the past, but unless you help your inner-child heal and recover, planning for the future will always be difficult. The inner-child will relive these painful experiences until you learn to accept them, forgive and let go. We must show love and acceptance to our inner-child, as this is the only way to heal, move on and not continue to suffer from the pain of these unpleasant times. This is the opportunity to go back in time and let you know just how wonderful, beautiful and special you truly are.

One of the most common times your inner-child is likely to appear is when you’re facing a decision you are unsure about. Naturally, when we were children, doubt and uncertainty scared many of us. So, it’s no surprise that when faced with these moments as adults, the inner-child decides to show up. Don’t let this scare you; instead, listen to that voice as it is trying to guide you in the decision-making process. Ask it questions, speak with it.

When you can start to see your inner-child as your partner who helps guide you through this crazy life, it’s amazing what can happen. Don’t fight it. Go with it and see how it changes your life for the better.

1.What do people usually do to the inner-child?

A. Stop it. B. Welcome it.

C. Rescue it. D. Blame it.

2.Why is it always hard to plan for the future?

A. We have no fun in our life. B. We always make bad choices.

C. We don’t help inner-child recover. D. We always experience unhappy times.

3.When will inner-child probably come up?

A. When we make decisions. B. When we enjoy ourselves.

C. When we make mistakes. D. When we feel unpleasant.
