There was a small village by the sea inAmerica. Every summer lots of people came here to spend their holidays. But a few of them came here only to end their lives. Two months ago right here a young woman jumped into the sea in the darkness of the night. When she was taken up from the sea,nothing could make her come to life. From then on,the people in the village began to pay more attention (注意) to each of the visitors. If someone looked unhappy or worried,they would watch him all day long with care. They would never let the same thing happen again.

A week later,came several visitors. Among them there was a young woman of twenty years old. One day she looked different from others. She went out alone at night. She was found just by a villager. The villager made no noise and followed her. When the young woman was walking to the beach,the villager rushed at her and tried hard to pull her back. "Let me go. Don't pull me!"cried the young woman, "I was playing on the beach this afternoon. Now I can't find the key to my suitcase. I think it must be left here. ""But why won't you look for it tomorrow morning?" said the villager. " Tomorrow morning I'll leave here and catch the early bus to New York. I must leave before the day breaks."

When the villager heard this,he had a good laugh and helped her look for the key in the moonlight.

  The world is not hungry,but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地) .Man can only drink and use the3%―the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that,because some of it has been polluted (污染) .

  Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First,we should all learn how to save water. Secondly,we should fmd out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today,in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water,still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?

  The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive,but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see,if we can find a way out,we'll be in no danger of drying up.

   D. 3% of water on the earth is sea water.

On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron (圍裙) .After breakfast he always announced, "Go ahead everyone. I'll wash the dishes!" For the next hour Dad did the dishes,singing songs like /Had a Hat When I Came In.

I suppose it was strange for a boy's father to wear an apron. It was the last Sunday in August. My father seemed happy as we walked home from the supermarket together.

"Tommy," he said, "there comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities (責(zé)任) .Starting today. I want you to wash the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can read the newspaper."

"Wash the dishes?！"

"Anything wrong with doing the dishes,son?"

I started to say something about a man's job or a woman's work,but I knew quickly that my protests (抗議) would be of no use.

I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed excited as he talked about a soccer game on TV and didn't notice me at all.

Suddenly,everthing grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was eating the last of the egg on his plate. And then my father said to my mother, "Let's go and read the paper,dear."

So this was what my life had come to. I could learn Latin well,I could be good at playing baseball,I could do anything,but I could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.

My father came back into the kitchen,and in his right hand was the old apron.

"I want you to have this,Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet. " And before I could say a word,he had put the thing on me. "Thanks,Son."

I looked down at the apron. It had seen better days. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about I Had a Hat When I Came In. The words came out of nowhere. And I knew the kind of man I wanted to be.

(   ) 6. We learn from the reading the father regarded doing housework as a person's A. interest   B. responsibility   C. task   D. entertainment

(   ) 7. Hearing his father's suggestion,the writer thought the idea was         .

   A. show him how to do the washes

   B. talk with him

   C. check his work

   D. put the apron on him

(   ) 9. The result of the story probably is that         .

   A. the writer still thought doing dishes was not his job

   B. the writer did nothing but to refuse

   C. the writer accepted his father's idea and did as his father had done

   D. his father did the job instead

(   ) 10. The reading is mainly about         .

   A. the education of family responsibility

   B. a united and happy family

   C. a story of the father and his son

   D. a lesson of doing dishes

It's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale,and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. "Not long to wait now," he says. I hope he's right.

After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east,and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loudly and very clearly. "That's the robin (知更鳥) ，"says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin,and Jim knows the names of them,too. Half an hour later,there are more and more birds singing,and it's very loud!Suddenly,all around us is the sound of the birdsong. This is the dawn chorus (晨鳴) ，and it's beautiful.

"Wow,this is amazing！" I tell Jim,who is smiling. "Is there a dawn chorus every morning?"

"Birds can sing any time of the year,but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most."

"Really? Then,why do they sing?" I ask.

"Well,there are two reasons," explains Jim. "Most of the songbirds are males. They want to find a female (雌性) ，so they sing to show how strong they are. The female birds just listen and choose the best singer!The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area. They don't like sharing with another male."

I listen to the birds,the songs seem too much to me. "Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?"

"That's a good question," replies Jim. "The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds,for example the European wren,have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute！”

So,how does Jim know so much about birds? Well,he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. " More and more of the birds' habitat disappears every year. The sparrow,for example,was a very common bird in the UK,now it's in danger."

By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It's light so they can start looking for food; they need a big breakfast after all that singing！

(   ) 11. Why does the writer get up early in the morning?

   A. To visit her friend.

   B. To drink hot coffee.

   C. To see different birds.

(   ) 12. When you hear a bird sing in the morning,it's most probably         .

   A. a robin   B. a sparrow

   C. a male bird   D. a female bird

(   ) 13. A bird sings early in the morning mainly         .

   A. to call a female's attention

   B. to fight with other males

   C. to find a place to live in

   D. to start looking for food

(   ) 14. According to the text,which of the following statements is true?

   A. At first the writer is happy to be up so early in the morning.

   B. Male birds have their own ways of fooling other birds.

   C. It's easier for the birds to find food early in the morning.

"Wash every day and you'll die young,my son！”People often said those words,long ago of course. Napoleon's wife had new clothes every month,instead of a bath. " lt,s quicker," she always said. Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces,but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor, 4t Soap and water have never touched my body.”And the doctor answered, uThat's true. I know..."

Why didn't people wash in those days long ago?

Well,they did not have water in their house. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground. Town people bought it from a watercarrier. Sometimes it was expensive,and soap was always expensive,too. They drank water of course,and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside!And this is true,they just did not like a bath.

Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However,a few people use too much soap,and they often get ill. Who are these people?

Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then "dress" other women's hair. That is their job,and they like it. Young hairdressers wash dirty heads on a busy day. Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours,and that is not a good thing.  A young hairdresser's hands are often red and ugly,and she must then go to a doctor.

We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day,even after he entered a nursing home. As years went on,these celebrations had double meanings to us―a traditional birthday party for Dad,thanking him for all that he had done for us in our lives. When we knew it might be his last birthday,the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home.

Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. But at this special moment,I announced it was now Dad's turn to listen to stories for a change. I asked everyone to tell Dad why he loved him. The room became still. Then one after another,people told stories from their hearts,while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People brought kinds of stories back to our minds―stories about when they were little,stories about when Dad was young,and stories that shared family happiness.

The stories went on one after another. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many people in his life,here was our chance to celebrate him. A few months later,at Dad's memorial service,we more fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those are the stories people usually tell at a funeral (葬禮) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories,full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life,and we had told them through laughter,accompanied (伴隨) by hugs and joys. He had them in his mind during his last days and months.

Words do matter,and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly to the ones we love. That's the way to give back love and our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.
