For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants —the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark (树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal (药用) values of some plants. Let’s look at some examples.

Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.

In some areas, malaria has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.

In Germany, some scientists studied garlic (大蒜) for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque (血小板) because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.

As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent.

1.What can foxglove be used for?

A．Studying plants.

B．Building up the plaque.

C．Treating AIDS and cancer.

D．Preventing heart problems.

2.What does the underlined word “malaria” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?

A．A drug.                               B．A plant.

C．An illness.                             D．An animal.

3.How many plants are mentioned in the passage?

A．3.               B．4.                C．5.               D．6

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Past and future

B．Plants and medicine

C．Health and illness

D．Scientists and doctors

For thousands of years, dogs have held a special place in people’s hearts. They are known as “ man’s best friend” . This is because they can be so brave, lovely, and loyal（忠诚）. Dogs are used to living in groups and following the leader. Now humans are their leaders. Dogs depend on people for food— mostly meat— and perform services in return.

Long long ago, dogs worked for people. They ran after wild animals, caught them on land and water, and protected houses. They are used to send messages, look after sheep, and even save people in snow. They help police find out what they want. Fast-runningdogs are used in races.

Dogs have many abilities that make them useful. Sharp teeth are only one of these. Most dogs can smell something human can’t smell and hear higher notes than any person. And although dogs don’t see many colors, they are very good at noticing movements.

Dogs come in many shapes, sizes, and characters. A big Irish dog stands about 32 inches tall. However,some dogs stand about only 5 inches tall. Dogs that can guard homes are intelligent. Police dogs are usually quite brave. But many different kinds of dogs now make playful family pets.

Dogs have been kept to work for human for a long history. When Pompeii— the ancient Italian city that was buried about 1900 years ago— was dug out, a dog was found lying across a child. It was trying to protect the child.

Many young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers?

The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful creatures.

Helen from England: I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel which could cause pollution and make the sea less clean.

Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children.

They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.

How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens(青少年) should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.
