Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）
Some people are standing at a group of low hills in West Texas. Suddenly, they observe glowing reddish - orange lights. Are they the headlights of cars on the highway? Are they the lights of campfires? The people shout and point because the lights are moving! But they aren’t moving the way cars move. They shoot up in the air. They fall back to the earth. And then ... they simply disappear!
Every night, people go to observe the famous Marfa lights. The lights are named for the town of Marfa, Texas, where these lights can be seen in the distant hills east of the town. Over the years there have been many beliefs about these strange lights. One theory is that the lights are the headlights of cars driving down the road.
But that could not be true. Settlers in the 1880s wrote about the lights long before there were cars with headlights. At that time, pioneers thought the Marfa lights were the campfires of Apaches2 in the hills. When the pioneers would ride into the hills, they could find no evidence3 of campsites of fires. Later, the settlers learned that the Apaches, too, could see the lights. They thought the lights were stars that had come down the earth.
Some people say that the lights are moonlight shining on metal in the hills. Others say they are made by gases from swamps4. Some scientists have tried to prove that lights from planets or starts reflect5 in a strange way on the hills. That doesn’t help us understand why the lights “dance”. They move up and down, slow down and speed up. These dancing “stars”, the Marfa lights, stay a mystery.
Word Box
1theory:thoughts or beliefs about a set of facts
2 Apache: a member of a Native American people
3evidence:something that shows proof

1.What colour are the Marfa lights?

3.Why do many people go to observe Marfa lights every night?
4.Were the strange lights seen earlier or later than the invention of cars with headlights?

Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）
Letter A
Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time，that they will never be as free again So，my question is-why fill up all this free time with housework？Parents expect their children to get good grades，be good at sports，and be popular with other kids．
However，there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well．It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring house work．Parents and children both have jobs．Parents' jobs are in the work place．Their children's jobs are at school．
The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't．Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility．But this is just at rick．Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy．
Yours，
Overloaded
Letter B
Both parents and children have jobs．The parent's job is to go to work to earn money．The child's job is to go to school．But we all get hungry．Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward．We all wear clothes that get dirty．Someone has to wash them，iron them，and put them away．Children work from 9 until 4．Parents work from 8 until 6．Sure，after 4 o'clock，children have homework．But after 6，parents have homework too．They have to do the shopping，go to the bank，pay the bills，and help their kids with their own homework!
I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home．They might not like it，but it's good for them．It teaches them how to look after themselves．This is really useful when93 ．
Sincerely，
Overworked

There are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with few of your own.
·Plant flowers, grass or trees.
·Whenever you visit a park or a beach, take away what you bring there — keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
A professor began his speech by holding up a glass with some water in it. Then he held it up for all to see, and asked the students, “ How much do you think this glass weighs?”
“50g!””100g!””125g!” the students answered .
“ I really can’t unless I weigh it,” the professor said, “but my next question is: “ what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
“Nothing,”the students said .
“Okay. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?” the professor asked.
“ Your arm could go numb. You might have serious muscles stress, or paralysis.You would have to go the hospital for sure” another student said. All students laughed.
“ Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” the professor asked.
“No,” the student said.
“Then why do we have different results?
The students were puzzled.
“ It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it.” the professor said: “ it is exactly the same weigh, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes, what you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
The problems in life are like this. If you just think about them for a few minutes, they might not seem so bad. Think about them for a longer time, and they begin to ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything. It’s important to think about challenges in your life, but it’s even more important to“put them down” at the end of the day before you go to sleep.That way, maybe be you will ________________________ the next day.

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？
______________________________________________________________________________
6.Why do people link the full moon to unusual human behavior？
________________________________________________________________________

There were 10concerts in different cities at the same time. Over 1,000 musicians performed to ask people to give their names if they donate money, which they made into a “Live 8 list”.

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.)
