World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writer, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.
Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, a much lower price than usual, in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Premier Wen Jiabao does lots of reading every day. Wen has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. “Book cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.
Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.
“Reading makes a full man”. Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.
1.When is World Book Day?
2.In UK, what can school children do on World Book Day?
3.What did Premier Wen Jiabao suggest young people do?
4.How many advantages of reading are mentioned in the passage?

Should Shanghai bid for(申办) the Summer Olympics in 2028? Here are some people’s opinions.
Some people said, “The games will improve Shanghai’s global influence and the city is powerful and must try to become a platform(平台) for major international dialogues. Shanghai has succeeded in holding the World Expo in 2010 and the city can also hold a successful Summer Olympics.”
Others, however, are not sure that it’s a good idea. They think the Olympics would be too expensive and the money could be better spent on other things.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics brought much prestige(声望) to the city and to China, but its cost, over $40 million, was high and the Olympic site(场地) in the center of the city is now largely unused. Could Shanghai learn from Beijing’s experience and do it better?
My answer is yes. As one American said, “A great city has to do great things.” Shanghai is a great city and is not afraid of facing challenges. Holding the 2028 Summer Olympics would prove that.
1.When did Shanghai hold the World Expo?
2.Why don’t some people agree to bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics?
3.How much did the 2008 Beijing Olympics cost?
4.Does the writer agree to Shanghai’s bidding?

Have you ever been in a rainforest? There aren’t any in Europe but there are some in Africa, Asia and South America. I was in a rainforest once. It was hot and dark. It was also very wet. Water was falling from the leaves of the trees like rain. The ground was covered with dead leaves but there were thousands of new plants growing.
The most exciting plants were the large trees. Some were 50 meters high. I could only see little pieces of blue sky through the leaves. All the trees had small plants growing on them, and some of these had beautiful, brightly colored flowers.
It was very noisy. I could hear lots of birds. They were hard to see but I saw one green and red parrot flying high above me. It was beautiful. The insects also made a lot of noise and I could feel them on my arms and legs.
I didn’t see any monkeys. They were probably sleeping high up in the treetops. I did see a small snake on the ground. I hate snakes so I walked quickly but carefully out of the forest.
I wouldn’t like to live in a rainforest but I am happy that I could see one before they all disappear from Earth.

Have you ever heard of e-books? E-books are electronic books. They are no larger than an ordinary(普通的)book, with a screen on which you can read.

First, you call up websites on your computer and choose books that you want. There are thousands of books provided by different websites on the Internet. Then download the books you like on to your e-book. You can download about 10 books at a time. Now you can just sit back and enjoy yourself reading.

The United Nations has made the first Monday of October as World Habitat Day(世界住房日). The idea is to show the living level of ourselves. Everybody wants to have enough room. It also reminds the world of its duty for humans to have better habitat in the future.
We must improve city planning to deal with new challenges of the 21st century. In both developed and developing countries, cities and towns are feeling the effects of weather change, food danger, population growth and so on. These facts will change towns and cities in the century ahead. Many developing countries will continue to experience fast population growth in cities, along with its most serious problems, such as overcrowding and poverty(贫穷). Over half of the world’s population mainly live in cities, so there is no doubt that city planning will become the first thing to do for governments.
Unfortunately, the city planning systems in many parts of the world can’t deal with these challenges. After all, we know the problems, so we need to share the best solutions as efficiently and widely as possible by planning better for ourselves and our environment.

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better,” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect chance to encourage others to take their first step to become volunteers.
Making the decision to take the first step can be difficult, because people often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people are afraid of knowing nobody in the group. Not having enough time, the cost of traveling and training or being short of experience may also prevent someone from showing their abilities.
Here are some suggestions that can help you if you have some of these worries.
★Start out slowly. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★Choose an organization with the same interest.
★Work with an experienced volunteer. The person who volunteered a lot can help you understand the organization’s expectations.
★Invite a friend or family member to join you. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★Enjoy the volunteer experience and remember that not all results are perfect. Don’t give up and you’ll finally help someone.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives, as Mason discovered during his volunteer experience. Little things can change a person’s life for the better.”
1.According to the first chart, what is the main reason why people volunteer?
__________________________________________________
2.What is the National Volunteer Week for?
__________________________________________________
3.The second chart shows the difficulties people meet in volunteering. What percentage of people fear knowing nobody in the group?
__________________________________________________
4.Why should we work with an experienced volunteer?
__________________________________________________
5.After reading the passage, what do you think of volunteering? Why do you think so?
