Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(自然资源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.

Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississipi. The lifeline of Egypt is Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in Southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation(航海), however, is the Amazon in Brazil(巴西). It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.

Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam(大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries. However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits(利益) of this natural resource.

1.The greatest river for navigation is ________.

A.the Amazon B.the Nile C.the Mississippi

2.Which is WRONG?

A.The Nile is in India.

B.Many cities are located on rivers.

C.Rivers play an important part in the lives of people.

3.From a dam people can use the water for ________.

A.keeping the rivers clean B.washing clothes C.irrigating and making electricity

4.The water in the river is polluted because of ________.

A.people’s building a dam across a river

B.people’s swimming in the river too much

C.chemicals and other materials

5.The best title of the passage is ________.

A.Rivers in Cities B.The Importance of Rivers C.Transportation

“Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term, “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experiences should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed(失望的).”

After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.

As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.

The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.

The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

1.In the “homestay” program, a visitor can ___________.

A.learn more about foreign cultures

B.learn to plan things better

C.have a long holiday

2.The writer had wanted to visit London since ___________.

A.last month B.years ago C.the special meeting

3.The group leader should ___________.

A.make plans for the family B.take care of the students C.rent rooms to the students

4.The writer’s host family ___________.

A.was interested in her activities

B.had two white daughters

C.was very kind to her

5.From the passage, we know that the writer ___________ in London.

A.wished to stay a little longer

B.had classes in many interesting places

C.helped the teacher take the students in a car

Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration(庆祝). You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There’re many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940s, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story.

Before the tomato fight, there are parades(游行), musical bands, street parties and so on. On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks(卡车) full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.

Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules: You must squash(压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.

It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clear up. Sounds like fun!

She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her music sounded. “Thank you.” she said.

“I have been going through a hard time recently, but you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.

“I’m glad that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
