Scientists have always wanted to know more about the university.

Years ago they knew many things about the moon . They knew how big it was and how far away it was from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.

The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometres away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket(火箭).

How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.

Rocket can fly far out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space.

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends .Even when they are not with their friends ,they usually spend a lot of time talking among them on the phone . This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members.

However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome.

Healthy Diet

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?

The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.

Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.

These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.

There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.

63. We need _____for a healthy diet.

A. fibre B. food C. water D. Water and different foods

64. From the text, we know water can carry_________.

A. energy and fibre in our bodies

B. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies

C. sugar and fat out of our bodies

D. poisons and waste out of our bodies

65. Some doctors think that________.

A. people eat too much sugar

B. water is not important for our health

C. we should go to the doctor less often

D. some health problems are caused by a lack of water

66. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.

A. they think they are hungry and eat too much

B. they think they are thirsty and eat less

C. water has no calories

D. it makes them hungry

67. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?

A. Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.

B. Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.

C. Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.

D. The amount of water a person should drink in a day.

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

68. This year ________teenagers will take part in the exchange programme be tween America and other countries.

1. twenty-three hundred
2. thirteen hundred
3. over three thousand
4. less than two thousand

69. The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.

A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America

B. send students in America to travel in Germany

C. let students learn something about other countries

D. have teenagers learn new languages

70. Fred and Mike agree that__________.

A. America food tasted better than German food

B. German schools were harder than American schools

C. Americans and Germans were both friendly

D. There were more cars on the streets in America

71. What is particular in American schools is that________.

A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings

B. there are a lot of after-school activities

C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all

D. students go out side to enjoy themselves in a car

Meanwhile, the trouble maker has been caught. My whole family thank you very much for your kindness.

With kindest regards to you and your parents.
