There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can’t work all that time-we need a holiday. Let’s say we have three weeks’ holiday. We don’t work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember that we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours’ lunch every day, and half an hour’s coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!
小題1:How many days do we sleep in a year? ___days.
A．365B．122C．8D．52
小題2:We spend 15 days on __________.
A．restB．coffee breakC．lunchD．breakfast and supper
小題3:Which of the following is true? __________
A．Each weekend is one day.B．We have 61 days for free time.
C．We get 3 days’ holiday at EasterD．Coffee break takes us one hour.
小題4:According to the passage, we know that we don’t have ______ time to work every year.
A．much tooB．so manyC．too muchD．too many
小題5:The writer means __________.
A．we should know the numbersB．a(chǎn) few days for work is enough
C．we need more holidaysD．time is important and we’d better not waste(浪費(fèi)) it
小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:B
小題4:C
小題5:D

試題分析：
小題1:根據(jù)so we have 122 days for sleeping可知，我們一年睡覺(jué)122天。所以本題選B。
小題2:通過(guò) It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year.可知，在早飯和晚飯上一年要用15天。所以本題選D。
小題3:根據(jù) Each weekend is two days可知A是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)we get 2 days’ holiday at Easter可知C是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)half an hour’s coffee break可知D是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù) Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days可知，B 是正確的。
小題4:根據(jù)This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!
可知，我們工作的時(shí)間不太多，修飾time不能用many，故排除BD；而much too是“太，非�！钡囊馑�，只有too much是“太多”的意思，可以修飾時(shí)間。所以本題選C。
小題5:通過(guò)閱讀全文，我們知道作者的意思是我們工作的時(shí)間不多，不能浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。所以本題選D。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文通過(guò)算賬的形式告訴我們工作的時(shí)間不多，不能浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。由于文中出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字較多，不易把握，所以在閱讀時(shí)盡量減慢速度，注意體會(huì)作者的意圖，當(dāng)然本題的題目并不是很難，1、2、3小題都可以在文中找到答案，第4小題是考知識(shí)方面的題目,5小題是推測(cè)題。

Sugar—free beets（甜菜）that still taste sweet, tastier tomatoes and brighter-colored fruits and vegetables that stay ripe（熟的）longer are all foods that are being grown now. How can they
carry traits, such as being tastier, brighter, and riper? They are genetically engineered.
Genetic engineering（基因工程）is like making a change in a recipe. For example, when you make cakes, you mix together all of the usual ingredients. If you add an extra ingredient, like salt, the cakes will taste differently.
Genes are ingredients in the recipe for life. They carry the traits of living things. Your genes dictate what color hair and eyes you’ll have, how tall you’ll be, as well as many other traits. Genes carry traits for plants, too. By adding genes to a plant, you can sometimes create new traits. For example, adding a certain gene to a potato plant can make the potato plant distasteful to bugs（蟲(chóng)子）. This makes some farmers happy because they don’t have to use chemicals to keep bugs away from their plants.
It sounds great, but some people are opposed to the idea of food that is genetically engineered. Ronnie Cummins, from the Campaign for Food Safety, is against it. He says that one of the major concerns is allergies（過(guò)敏）. Supermarkets don’t always label foods that are genetically engineered. A customer could unknowingly buy food that has an added gene from another plant that he or she is allergic to. It could be dangerous.
Gary Burton from Monsanto, a seed（種子）company that engineers food, disagrees. He says his company tests for allergies. Burton believes that genetic engineering is a valuable tool for making better food. The technology can help farmers use less insecticide（殺蟲(chóng)劑）and grow healthier crops. Burton thinks there are many advantages.
But Cummins says that we just don’t know what will happen in the future if we keep adding genes to foods. We could mistakenly create a monster.
People have different opinions about genetic engineering. One side supports it and thinks it will only help us. The other side is opposed to playing with nature and fears health risks. Which side do you think is right?
小題1:What could be a good thing about food that is genetically engineered?
A．It’s more expensive.
B．It could taste different.
C．It requires less insecticide.
D．It’s not labeled in the supermarket.
小題2:In general, who does not support the idea of genetic food?
A．People from seed companies.
B．Farmers who use engineered seeds.
C．People from the Campaign for Food Safety.
D．Scientists who create genetically engineered food.
小題3:It can be inferred that          .
A．growing genetic foods will make farmers richer
B．people will eat more genetic foods in the future
C．using fewer chemicals could make the food tastier
D．there could be unknown dangers about genetic foods
小題4:What is the best title of this passage?
A．Future Farming
B．Genetic Engineering
C．Foods with a Difference
D．Genetically Engineered Fruits

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救護(hù)車(chē)). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
If we carry our burdens (負(fù)擔(dān)) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. "
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”
The first computer was made in 1946. it was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, writer letters, do shopping, play computer games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.
