Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.
Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.
Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.
Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.
Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.
1.When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.
A. was very popular with children
B. got inspired by one of her teachers
C. began her career of writing novels
D. knew what she would do in the future

A beach town in the US state of New Jersey recently passed a ban o trousers, jeans and shorts that hang less than 3 inches below the hips(臀部) for an excuse of being unfriendly to others’ eyes. But besides those low-hanging pants, here are some other items of popular travel clothing that may also need to be banned.
Thai Fisherman Pants: These lightweight cotton pants, wide in the waist and originally designed for Thai fishermen, are popular among men and women due to their comfort, ability to last long and relative ease of wearing. But the bad news is that wearing these pants isn’t the way to be respected in Bangkok.
“Wearing them to wander around the town is considered ’low class’ (even if we don’t say it out loudly),” wrote a local Bangkok woman, who called herself “Beebah” on line. “It’s better to dress ‘respectable’ if you want to be treated well. Even a T-shirt and shorts are better than fisherman pants and tight sleeveless shirts. If you really love them, wear them at home.”
T-shirts with slogans: Wearing T-shirts with slogans in the local language on them may seem cool to some young tourists who are swept up in the excitement of being in a foreign country for the first time. But be careful as they could be some meaningless words and make you look really stupid. What’s worse, some slogan T-shirts are political--you might get yourself into trouble without even knowing about it.
Croce(洞洞鞋): Comfortable and easy to slip on and off, Crocs have been go-to-beach shoes for many tourists. But we must admit that these holey plastic shoes are deadly ugly in every way. “Supporters would hold that the comfort of the Crocs is over their looks, but Babyclothes are comfortable, too. Your don’t feel the need to walk around in them, do you?” said a friend of mine.
1.Why are Thai Fisherman Pants popular?
A. Because they are beautiful and fashionable
B. Because they are cheap, fashionable and easy to be made
C. Because they are comfortable, lasting and easy to wear
D. Because they are respectable and handsome
2.According to the local Bangkok woman who called herself “Beebah” online, .
A. one should never wear Thai Fisherman Pants
B. one should never walk in a T-shirt or shorts
C. Thai Fisherman Pants aren’t proper in public
D. the local people don’t like Thai Fisherman Pants
3.According to the passage before wearing a T-shirt with slogans, you should make sure .
A. the words are in the local language
B. you know the meaning of the words
C. it is the most popular at the moment
D. the words have something to do with politics
4.The author’s friend’s attitude to the Crocs is .
A. supportive B. disappointed
C. interested D. critical

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.
"We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean."
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves（溶解） in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic."
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.
"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic."
1.What can be the best title of the passage?
A．Sea Life Facing Danger B．Climate Change Affecting Seawater
C．Oceans Becoming More Acidic D．Scientist Researching Seawater
2.Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?
a．Sea life is endangered．
b．CO2 goes into the surface water．
c．The ocean chemistry is affected．
d．CO2decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic．
e．CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up．
A. a → b → c → d → e
B. e → b --→ c → d → a
C. a → e -→ b → c → d
D. e → d -→ c → b → a
3.Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on________ .
A．his research and analysis
B．a major cause of climate change
C．some former theory
D．the expectation of other scientists
4.What does the passage want to tell us most?
A．It takes time to make a scientific study．
B．Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life．
C．Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist．
D．Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe．
