Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. "Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die."

They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired as well and also fell asleep one by one.

The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

"Your homework is to collect sounds and take them down," Mrs. Olson said before class was over. She handed out sheets of paper shaped like giant ears.

On his way home, Colin glared out of the school-bus window. Not fair, he thought. How could he collect enough sounds on his family's farm? If only he lived in the town.

He got off the bus when it stopped at his mailbox. But he wasn't in the mood to wave as it drove away.

"I’m home！”Colin called when he pushed open the gate. He threw his schoolbag down on a kitchen chair.

"How was school?" His mother asked, walking in with his baby brother on her shoulder.

"I’ve got homework," Colin complained.

"Eat something before doing your chores." His mother gave him the animal biscuits. Colin ate two tigers, three lions, and a seal, then drank some milk.

Astrid, Colin's dog, woofed as Colin walked toward the barn（谷仓）．Her young dogs were yipping. Colin placed dog food into their pan. In the chicken house, Colin hurried two hens from their nests．He put their warm eggs into his jacket. The black cow napped in the sun. Colin woke her when he poured corn into her pan. "Moo, thank you！”she seemed to say.

Colin put the eggs in the kitchen, then climbed to his tree house as usual. He could see Dad's beehives（蜂箱） by the field. Six hives usually meant plenty of humming noise. But today he couldn't hear it over the chattering sound of the sparrows，How could a person think?

"QUIET！”Colin shouted.

Suddenly, he sat up straight. Cows mooed and young dogs yipped. Chickens crackled in their yard. When Astrid began woofing below, Colin smiled broadly. "I hear you！”he called. He hurried down from the tree.

1.Why did Colin wish he lived in the town?

A. Because living on the farm was boring.

B. Because people were treated fairly there.

C. Because the town was near his school.

D. Because collecting sounds would be easier.

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A. Doing his homework.

The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas and electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.

Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料） and coal stoves.

These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油） fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”

The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.

Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way. “There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精） stove that is made by Dometic is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.

1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A. By making classifications.

B. By listing numbers.

C. By following time order.

D. By describing a process.

2.According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?

A. People should use an effective air cleaner.

B. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.

C. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.

D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.

B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution.

C. People now can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.

D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. The way we cook is changing

B. Types of indoor air pollution

C. The development of electric stoves

D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year

SAN FRANCISCO—A phone app（应用程序）in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots．City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns．

In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think．Now San Francisco has found a solution — a phone app for spot-seekers that shows information about areas with available spaces．The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors（感应器）fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up．

But the system could come with serious consequences．Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road．“It could be really distracting（使分心的）,” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois．

City officials admitted the hidden problem．They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated．

San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages．If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency．On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places(blue)and which are full(red)．

More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Francisco’s app, which is available now only for the iPhone.

1.What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at?

A. Benefiting iPhone users.

B. Preventing traffic accidents.

C. Making the traffic flow smoothly.

D.Making full use of the parking spots.

2.According to the text, San Francisco city officials ________.

A. don’t consider the app distracting.

B. are aware of the app’s disadvantages.

C. advise drivers to park cars slowly.

D. believe more parking spots are needed.

3.The phone app mentioned in the text ________.

A. is a bit slow in reacting

B. hasn’t been put into service

C. was introduced several years ago

D. can’t be downloaded to all phones

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. A phone app has been introduced to relieve the pressure on traffic in the city.

B. Safety concerns are voiced about a phone app aimed at helping drivers find parking spots.

C. Looking for parking spots contributes greatly to downtown traffic jams.

D. Drivers’ attention is distracted in one way or another when they are driving.
