Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题):

As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.

Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (个人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.

Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.

My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.

1. Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?

2.What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? Give one example.

3.How did they decide who practised with the car first?

4.How often could each of the triplets have the “alone time” with their father?

5.In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)

They have different __________ and __________.

6.What are the bad things about being a triplet?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Australia is almost as large as China（China is about 9,600,000 km2 while Australia is 7,682,300 km2）,but Australia has a much smaller population（just over 19. 5 million）. Most people live in cities along the coast of Australia, and huge areas of the rest of Australia are uninhabited（无人居住的）. In some areas, families live a long way away from one another and from towns and cities. Australians call this part of the country "the Out back（内陆）"or "the Bush". Most people who live in the outback work on huge sheep or cattle stations（农场）.Some of these properties are as large as 3,000~5,000 km2 and their nearest neighbours may be 100 km or more away.

Many children in the outback are too far from town to travel to school. Instead, they attend one of the sixteen Schools of the Air. The schools are located in towns and teachers use high frequency radio to talk to their classes. They also post work to the students who post it back for their teacher to mark. Students also use the Internet, fax and phone to communicate with their teacher and with other students. Sometimes students are sent a video or audiotape to help them with their lessons.

Tim Benton's brother George is the manager of a large cattle station in the Northern Territory. When they were in primary school, George's children, Rebecca and Oliver, attended the Alice Spring School of the Air. Their mother and father took it in turns to help them with their lessons. After they finished primary school, Rebecca and Oliver went to a high school in Alice Springs. They lived with their Aunt Mary during the school term and returned home during the school holidays. At first, high school was difficult because they weren't used to being in a class with other students. In some subjects, they did not know as much as the children from the town. However, they soon caught up because they had very good study skills, thanks to the School of the Air.

1.Where do most Australians live?

___________________________________________

2.Where did Rebecca and Oliver live when they attended primary school?

__________________________________________

3.Where did they live when they attended high school?

4.Which subjects do you think would be hardest to study at home?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Quite a few people believe that the phases of the moon（月相） affect the behavior of human and other creatures. That is known as the lunar（月亮） effect. The lunar effect has been around for many centuries. The power of the moon is often used to explain wide range of events, such as human insanity（精神错乱）, and increases in violent crimes and traffic accidents.

According to some traditions, for example, before the coming of modern techniques, surgeons would refuse to operate on the full moon nights because of the in- creased risk of death of the patient through blood loss. The idea behind the lunar effect has even found its way into the news. For example, it has been said that the full moon may have influenced voters’ behavior in the 2000 U. S. presidential election.

Does the moon affect our behavior at all？ Some people say it does. They say the moon causes the tides, so surely that the moon has an effect on people and we our- selves are full of water, too. But scientists point out that the moon only affects unrestrained（不受控制的） waters, such as oceans. The water in our bodies isn’t even comparable. And over fifty years of research has shown nothing to prove the existence of a causative link（因果联系） between the moon and areas such as mental illness birth rates, crime, or accidents.

There is an explanation for why people link the full moon to unusual human behavior. The reason is that people have selective memories. When something unusual happens and there is a full moon, people might notice the moon and think it is to be blamed.

1.What do quite few people believe？

2.What is used to explain wide range of events？

3.Why would surgeons refuse to operate on the full moon nights？

4.Scientists hardly agree that the moon affect people’s’ behavior, do they？

5.How long has the research on the lunar effect been done？

Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

“More young people should study Science", Hazel Wallace, a Science teacher from London, said at a conference for young scientists last weekend." More young people should take Science subjects at school and study them at university, "she said." Scientists can change the world and can improve life for everyone. We also need more people who want to teach science and do scientific research."

But there was bad news from Professor George Benson, a research scientist and university Science teacher, who was also at the conference." Science courses at university are very good," he said, "but there’s a real problem with Science teaching in schools. One in three people who teach Physics to 15-and 16-years-olds don’t have a physical degree. Not enough people are studying Science at university and this means that there are not enough science teachers."

Mrs Wallace didn’t agree." It’s true that the number of Science pupils fell between 2000 and 2010."She said ." But now the numbers are rising again. The number of students who take Science subjects at school is much higher now than it was five years ago."

Professor Benson was certain that numbers were still too low and added, "There’s still a problem with science lessons in schools. Most young people think that Science is boring or difficult or both. We have to find ways to interest 12-16 years olds in studying Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Old-fashioned teaching methods have to change, We must spread the news that Science is very important, but it can also be fun."

1.What does Hazel Wallace do?

2.Who was the conference for?

3.The number of science pupils is still falling now, isn’t it?

4.According to Benson, what can teachers do to make Science lessons more interesting?

5.What might be the topic of the conference?

6.Will you choose Science as your major at university? Why or Why not?(Explain in 2-3 sentences.)

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Mexico, the largest nation in the region, provides a good example of life in Central America. Although Mexico is a large country, only 12 percent of its land is good for farming. Another 40 percent is good land for cattle and farm animals. The rest of the land is hills and mountains, dry, high plateaus, or wet coastal regions.

The mountains are too high to farm. The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is too dry to plant crops. The coastal areas receive so much rain that the land often becomes waterlogged(水涝的). For all these reasons, Mexicans must take care of the good farmland they have. Yet good farming has not always been possible in Mexico.

For many centuries, Mexican farmers had grown traditional crops. These included corn, beans and squash. However, when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, they tried to introduce new ideas. They thought new plants such as onions, turnips, sugarcanes and bananas would do well in the warm, tropical climate. But the Mexicans wished to continue(继续) with their old ways.

1.How much of the land in Mexico is good land for cattle and farm animals?

2.The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is a good farmland, isn’t it?

3.Why aren’t the coastal areas good for farming?

4.What did Spanish try to do in the 1500s?

5.Did the Mexicans want to grow the new crops?

Editor’s note: Nowadays, thanks to the Internet, taking online classes is becoming more and more popular. Some people say that they are a convenient way to study. While others worry that students may get distracted (分心的) by the Internet. What's your view on online education?

Online classrooms are helpful and useful. We may put our heart into learning when we are alone in front of a computer with no one to distract us. In addition, taking courses online also means we may have more time to operate a compute which is a good way to practice our computer skills.

Jack, 15

I love taking online courses. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we exactly need and even preview the lesson we'll learn in classrooms. Also. Online classes enable people to study whenever and wherever they want, which is very convenient.

Julia, 16

I don't think online education is a good way to study. There are many bad or wrong things you know on the Internet, which may distract students from the courses they are taking. Also, unlike students who study in the classroom, students taking online courses have no one to tell them where they are in the whole learning process.

Ben, 16

I think the idea of taking online courses is crazy. It may increase our exposure(暴露) to computers, and the radiation(辐射) from them may do harm to the human body and lead to our eyesight getting worse. Also, looking straight at a computer for along time without exercising could be harmful to our health.

1.Some people think talking online classes is convenient, don’t they?

2.Why does online learning make it easier to put our heart into learning?

3.Jack thinks online classes give him freedom. What example does he give to explain his view?
