Today there are 7.4 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.

One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic (遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods, or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases; a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.

GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.

1.---How many people are there on the earth now?---_________ billion.

A. 7.4 B. 12.5 C. 18.5 D. 20.5

2.How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly?

A. By making the best plants. B. By asking the farmers to grow plants.

C. By changing their genetic material. D. By changing planting environment.

3.Why do poor countries produce GM foods?

A. Because they are easy to grow and bring in more money.

B. Because they are easy to grow and very cheap.

C. Because they help produce more food.

D. Because they are the best plants.

4.What’s the meaning of GM in the second paragraph?

A. 传统 B. 非转基因 C. 自然 D. 转基因

5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. GM plants are not natural.

B. GM plants are strong against plant diseases.

C. Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are.

D. GM foods may hurt people or their children later.

Emily and Anne did know, of course. They had known about Charlotte’s book for a long time. Jane Eyre was not the first book that Charlotte had sent to a publisher. Over a year ago she had written another book, The Professor, and sent it to one publisher after another. Each publisher had sent it back, in a packet addressed to Currer Bell. And then Charlotte had sent it, in the same old packet, to another publisher, and then another, and got it back again.

“Why didn’t you change the paper on the packet, my dear?” I asked.

Charlotte smiled. “I didn’t think of it, papa. The worst day was when we were Manchester, going to the eye doctor. Do you remember? The packet came back then. That was the day before I started writing Jane Eyre.”

“Do you mean that you started writing Jane Eyre while I was lying in the dark room in Manchester?”

“That’s right, papa.”

“But that’s only six months ago, and here is the book in my hand!”

“Yes, papa. The book was printed a month later after I sent it to the publisher.”

“My dear! They decided very quickly that they liked it, then!”

“I think they did, papa. After all, it is a good book, isn’t it?”

She smiled at me. I don’t think I have ever seen her so happy. She is a very small person. Charlotte, and not a beautiful woman, but when she smiles like that, her face shines like a fine painting. My wife used to look like that sometimes when I first met her.

I took her hand in mine. “It is a very good book, my dear. I cannot tell you how proud I am.”

She touched my hand. “Thank you, papa. But you must not be proud of me alone. You know, another two of your daughters—Anne and Emily…”

“Oh, no, Charlotte, please!” Emily said.

But Charlotte did not stop. “Anne and Emily have written good books too, and their books will soon be published as well! Let me introduce them to you, papa. These young ladies—Anne and Emily, are “not” your daughters—they are separately Acton Bell and Ellis Bell, brothers of the famous writer Currer Bell!”

Emily’s face was bright red, but Anne and Charlotte started laughing. I was very surprised.

“All three of you!” I said. “But—but why do you use these strange names?”

“Because people are stupid, papa.” Anne said. “No one thinks women can write good books, so we have used men’s names. And now they say that Currer Bell is a writer who understands women very well!” She laughed again.

1.Why didn’t Charlotte change the paper on the packet?

A. Because she hated to change the paper. B. Because she liked the paper very much.

C. Because she had no money to buy the paper. D. Because she didn’t think of changing the paper.

2.Which is the right time order of what happened in the story?

a. The book Jane Eyre was published.

b. Charlotte wrote a book named The Professor.

c. Charlotte wrote a book named Jane Eyre.

d. The family went to the eye doctor in Manchester.

e. The books by Charlotte’s sisters would be published.

A. b→e→d→c→a B. e→a→b→d→c C. b→d→c→a→e D. e→b→c→a→d

3.To make their books published, Charlotte, Emily and Anne used men’s names, which are separately ______.

A. Currer Bell, Ellis Bell and Acton Bell B. Currer Bell, Acton Bell and Ellis Bell

C. Ellis Bell, Acton Bell and Currer Bell D. Acton Bell, Ellis Bell and Currer Bell

4.Which is the best title for the story?

A. Big surprise from daughters B. Advice from Father

C. Big surprise from sons D. Advice from publishers

How to lead a balanced life

Many students suffer from stress in their daily lives. They are under stress because their lives are not balanced. They focus too much on studying, worrying about what others think, and not enough on other things.

You may wonder whether stress is a serious matter. The answer is “Yes”. You should be aware that stress is a risk to your health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to begin to guard against stress from a young age.

Here are some ways to deal with stress and bring balance to your life.

Be positive

One way to cancel out stress is through positive thinking. You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future.

Learn to relax

Force yourself to take a break from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a quiet place and being silent for a moment.

Take up a hobby

Learn to paint, take up skating, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind.

Take care of your body

Stress is your body’s enemy. Taking regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you.

Laugh

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often make you happy when you are low.

We all know that Mr. Bean is a foolish man, but his inventor is an extremely clever man.

Mr. Bean is famous for being clumsy(笨拙的) and not very good at practical things. He is always getting into a mess. It's surprising that his inventor can write about these things because unlike his invention, he has a degree in Engineering and was awarded a Master of Science degree at Oxford University-one of the best universities in England!

Mr. Bean’s inventor is Rowan Atkinson. In fact. he plays the part of Mr. Bean himself.

Rowan Atkinson was born in the northeast of England and studied Engineering at Newcastle University before going to Oxford.

While he was at Oxford University, Rowan Atkinson started writing and performing comedy sketches. He developed the idea for Mr. Bean in the 1970s, but he did not decide on a name for the character until much later. Before he came up with the name Mr. Bean he tried other names like Mr. Cauliflower

Mr. Beam was first shown on TV in 1990 and was a huge success. It has won many awards and made Rowan Atkinson famous all over the world. Mr. Bean has been made into a cartoon series and a feature film. A new film Mr. Bean's Holiday has recently been made out, sadly , Rowan Atkinson says this will probably be his last appearance in the role.

Mr. Bean has helped to make Rowan Atkinson a millionaire. This has helped him pursue his hobby-collecting fast cars. He has a collection of cars including a number of Aston Martins and Formula 1 racing cars. They are very different from Mr. Bean's old Mini!

1.How is Mr. Bean in Rowan Atkinson’s film?

2.Who is Mr. Bean’s inventor?

3.Where was Rowan born?
