Most middle school students find it boring to learn English. But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.
“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points,” said JoelⅠ. Klein, the school’s head teacher, “we’re looking for a new way that interest students children.”
Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宫) with their keyboards, some questions come up.
Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+ (6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.
“ I was right,” said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score (高分). “this really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better.”

Now satellites(卫星)are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists(气象专家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比较)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps , they may forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)
【小题1】Satellites travel__________.

A.in spaceB.in the atmosphere
C.above the groundD.above space
【小题2】Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because___________.
A.the weather satellites can do it easily
B.clouds form there
C.the weather forms there
D.the pictures can forecast the weather
【小题3】Meteorologists forecast the weather________.
A.when they have received satellite pictures
B.after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C.before they receive satellite pictures
D.while they study satellite pictures
【小题4】Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _______.
A.one dayB.two daysC.five daysD.seven days or even longer
【小题5】The main idea of this passage is that satellite is now used in______.
A.taking pictures of the atmosphere
B.receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C.doing other work in many ways
D.weather forecasting

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for shoppers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! Second, never let “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third,compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(品牌)and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for shoppers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. However, they are still of high quality. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise shoppers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials(商业广告),but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, will-informed shoppers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, shoppers can make a wise choice.
【小题1】 The author gives ________ suggestions to the shoppers in the passage.

A.ThreeB.FourC.FiveD.Six
【小题2】We can learn from the passage that ____________________.
A.ordinary items are not so attractive because of the lower prices .
B.we can’t buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”.
C.the advertisers are always showing misinformation in the commercial. 
D.the quality of ordinary items can be as good as that of famous brands.
【小题3】The author’s main purpose of writing the passage is to advise shoppers _________________.
A.to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands
B.how to buy ordinary things in supermarkets
C.how to make a proper decision while shopping
D.not to believe advertisements or commercials
