When our half of the earth is facing the sun ,we say it is day. When our half is away from the sun , we say it is night , It is the turning of the earth that tells us when to go to bed and when to get up.

B. When the earth faces us we have “day” ,and when the earth turns away from us we have “night”.
C. When the part of the earth turns to the sun we have “night” and when earth turns away from the sun we have “day”.

It was already dark when we left for the next town, which according to （根据）the map was about fifteen miles away on the side of the hills. There we felt 39 that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell soon 40 we left the village, but luckily we met no one as we drove quickly along the narrow winding （弯曲）road that 41 to the hills.

Blaze is three years old. He is brown all over except for a white mark on his face. That mark is called a blaze（火焰）, and that’s why his name is Blaze.
Blaze is a wonderful young horse who will soon work for the New York City police. But first he must learn all the things he needs to know to be a police horse. That’s why his trainer is teaching him to jump over obstacles（障碍），to stand very still, to run like the wind. He is also learning to keep calm（镇静）in traffic, or when children are close to him.
One day, during all this training, Blaze showed that he was the best pupil in the training school. He was in Central Park with his trainer, Mac, when suddenly people began shouting and pointing to the lake. A little girl was in the water. She was crying.
“Let’s go, Blaze, ”said Mac, and Blaze ran across the grass, jumped into the water and swam as fast as he could. Mac caught the little girl by her dress and lifted her out of water and onto Blaze’s back. A few minutes later, Mac gave the little girl back to her happy mother.
The people crowded around Blaze. Someone even gave him an apple. A photographer（摄影师）was there, and that night Blaze and Mac’s picture was in all the newspapers.

Fires at home can be very dangerous. Sometimes they can be deadly. Each year in the United States more than 4,000 people die from fires and burns. Not all of these fires happen at home, but many do. A fire at home can start without warning.
Most fires at home start in the kitchen. Food can catch fires in just a few seconds. Sometimes oil and bits of food on the stove （火炉）get too hot and catch fire. There are other causes of fires at home. Sometimes a fire starts when someone throws a hot match into a wastepaper basket. Sometimes fires at home are caused by flammable （＝easily burning）materials, such as paper, wood and some chemical materials. Faulty electrical wiring（不合格电线）can sometimes cause fires in the home. So something is done to make sure a fire doesn’t start, such as, keep the stove clean; put matches in water or make sure they are cool before they are thrown away; never let small children play with matches or lighters; and store these flammable materials outside your home if possible. Even with the most careful planning, not all fires can be prevented. When a fire starts in your home, it is very frightening. When you’re frightened, you don’t think clearly. So, the best time to plan what to do when a fire happens is before one starts.
If a fire starts in your home, you need to know how to get everyone out safely and quickly. During the daytime, a fire may be noticed more quickly. Then you will have time to leave through a door－an easy escape route（路线）. At night when everyone in your home is sleeping, you’ll all need to know two ways to get out of your bedrooms. The first choice is through the door. But if you are stopped by fire or smoke outside the doors, you need to have another escape route. One escape route could be through a window. Once you have planned your escape routes, make a diagram of your home. Clearly mark the escape routes on the diagram.
If you live in a two－story house, make sure to have a fire ladder upstairs. A fire ladder is a rope or metal ladder that can be hung out a window if the stairway is full of smoke or fire. Make sure everyone knows where to find the ladder and how to use it.
If you live in a tall building, never get in a lift when there is a fire. Lifts can become fixed during a fire. Instead, you’ll need to know where the fire escapes or fire stairs are in your building.
Fire escapes are stairs that are connected to the outside of buildings. Fire stairs are stairways in many buildings that keep fire and smoke away. Always close the door behind you after entering the fire stairway. Also, know what the fire alarm（警铃）in your building sounds like and how to leave your home if you hear the alarm.
One last thing you need to do is to agree on a place to meet once you leave your home. The place should be nearby, such as a neighbor’s home, a school, or a store.
59. ______ can easily cause fires at home.
A. Burnt matches in the wastepaper basket
B. Chemical materials close to hot places
C. A pan filled with fat and hot oily food
D. Wood and newspapers piled in the corner
60. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?
A. Escaping through doors is always the easiest and safest way.
B. Planning as carefully as possible helps to keep off the fires.
C. Fires happening at home often start suddenly and unexpectedly.
D. No matter where you live, a fire ladder is fully needed.
61. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
A. Fire Safety B. Fire Prevention
C. Fire Escape D. Fire Warning

George and Marge agree and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists （旋转）and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all this over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to George, “I did everything I could think of to get you to call out, but you didn’t. ”

The other day Roy Price went “home”to his sister’s house. It’s her home now; and it’s also the house he was born in, Pat, his sister, kissed him and said, “You haven’t changed much, Roy. Let me see, now ? when did we meet last?”

The next morning Roy walked through the small town alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs beside the roads. There was a new car park, a new post office, a new… . He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere: you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. But Roy’s biggest surprise was the people. He didn’t recognize（认识）anybody at all. He thought perhaps everyone here seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. “Where are all the children and young people?”he asked the postmaster. The old fellow looked up and answered, “Children? They’re in school, of course.”
At lunch Pat said, “The town looks nice, doesn’t it?”
“It’s all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place, but now it’s full of old people. I don’t understand…”
“There are a few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You’re not young yourself, Roy, are you?”

E-mail is one of the biggest threats（威胁）to your home computer. By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer. When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places. Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet“room”, a very, very big room. Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden（隐藏）in any way. As a result, others may be listening in, capturing what you send, and using it for their own good.
E-mail-borne viruses（病毒）often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something. By beautiful appearances, an infected（感染）E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to destroy or damage our computers.
There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment（附件）that you receive. You should only read a message that passes all of these tests:
1）The Know Test: Is the E-mail from someone that you know?
2）The Received Test: Have you received E-mail from this sender before?
3）The Expect Test: Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?
4）The Meaning Test: Do the topic line of the E-mail massage and the name of the attachment both have meanings?
5）The Virus Test: Is the E-mail infected?
58. Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. We should not exchange our E-mail with someone else.
B. It is dangerous to read and write E-mail message sat home.
C. We should learn how E-mail works to take care of our computers.
D. Our chats on computers are usually going on in a big Internet room.
59. What does the underlined word“capturing”probably mean?
A. taking B. hiding C. receiving D. destroying
60. As the Internet is open to anyone, we should ___________.
A. not read and write messages in our home computers
B. not allow nice advertisements to reach our computers
C. stop our conversations while someone is listening in it
D. be careful with the attractive E-mails sent by strangers
61. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. The threats of E-mail. B. The safety of home computers.
C. The E-mail-borne viruses. D. The steps to receive E-mail messages.
八. 阅读短文，根据短文内容，完成表格。（共8分，每小题2分）
You may have learned English for some years. It’s only natural that all of you want to be able to read some English books or magazines without the teacher’s help. Just think of what fun it will give you to finish reading an English story or a whole book by yourself, and how great you will feel if you read even more.
But it is common that many people begin hopefully to read in a foreign language, but stop half way in disappointment because of some difficulties.
It is important to choose books that are suitable（适合）for the reader. Then what books are suitable for you to choose?
Well, I think you should first choose books neither too difficult nor too easy but suitable for you. Then when you are reading, you should never let new words take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. Just do the job as you often do in your own language. While you are reading, try to guess the meaning of the new words, and to decide which of the key words you could guess and which you have to look up in your dictionary.
If you follow the suggestion above, you will be successful in reading any foreign languages.
What fun it will give you to finish reading an English 62 or a book by yourself.
You should first choose books neither too difficult nor too 63 but suitable for you.
In the passage, the writer teaches us 65 by ourselves.
