3．The British are known as people who love to stand in line，but a new research shows that the British are only about average （平均数） at waiting politely in a queue．The French are the best．It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line．They can't stand to wait for anything．They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough．Sadly it never moves fast enough for them．
The experts （专家） studied 940people across Europe．They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets，to order fast food and to wait for the bus．They found people who are good at forming queues feel that they move along faster．For example，in Britain，the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes．In Germany or Sweden（瑞典） people hate waiting in line．In fact，people spend double the time as the British in queues．They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others，so they waste others'time．
The experts who did the research had asked a person to jump a queue to see what people would do．In Britain，people shouted loudly at him，but when he said，"I'm terribly sorry．I didn't realize there was a queue．Do go before me．"People smiled and said，"Oh，that's all right，one more won't matter much．"It was also found in France that 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line，only if they were treated politely．While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face．The experts said，"If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing，they might find that the queue then moves faster．"

1．Now students'English handwriting gets worse and worse．That makes their teachers feel worried．Is your English handwriting beautiful？If not，here are four steps that really work!
◆Use paper that has lines
Using paper that has lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences．Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size．Be sure to fill the lined space completely．And make sure those capital letters（大写字母） are written properly．
◆Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little．For some kids，going slower makes the handwriting clear．If you write too fast，it's hard for you to stop where you should，and even worse，you may make more mistakes．
◆Hold your pencil right
When you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier．Some kids press（按，压） down really hard when they write．That makes the handwriting not nice．Try to relax yourself and don't hold the pencil so hard．Let your writing appear nice and clean．If you do so，people will guess you are a student with a good habit．
◆Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting．You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures．Even though you have no chance to draw at school，you can practice by yourself at home．
Handwriting is very important．Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player，what do you do when your fans run up to you？Give them your autographs （亲笔签名），of course！

20．Rivers are one of our most important natural resources （资源）．Many of the world's great cities are located（坐落） on rivers，and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important role in the lives of its people．
Since the beginning of the history，people have used rivers for transportation（运输）．The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi．The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile．To the people of India，the Gangs 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．It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it．
Besides transportation，rivers give food，water to drink，water for crops（庄稼），and chances for fun and entertainment for the people who live along their banks．In order to increase（增加） the supply of crops，engineers sometimes build a dam （大坝） across a river and let a lake from 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（化学物质） 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．

19．It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005．While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10hours of work，he returned to find his bike gone．
The bike，a black Kona 18speed，was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that，several people in our city offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger（陌生人） would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it made our confidence in humanity（人性）stronger as a whole．And it has also influenced us to be more mindful（在意的） of ways we can share with others．No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be continuing for ever．

The problems of our environment are becoming more and more serious all over the world．For example，cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories．Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers．Furthermore，wherever we go today，we can find rubbish carelessly disposed．Pollution is，in fact，threatening our existence．
I think that the earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations．Fortunately，more and more people have realized these problems．Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government．Laws have been passed to stop pollution．If the problem was solved in the near future，our home will become better and better．．

15．It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them，you have four dollars．But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way？In fact，one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers．
In ancient times，when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned，he had no system（体系）of numbers to use．He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal．The more animals，
the more stones or pebbles he had．It may explain why the word"calculate"comes from the Latin word"calculus"which means"stone"．
Later on，man used tally marks to count．People would just scratch（划下）a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count，but they had no word to tell the number．
The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers．Again we have word that goes back to this．The word"digit"comes form the Latin word"digitus"．It means"fingers"!And the fact that we have 10fingers led to the general use of 10in the system of numbers．
The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of the years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab traders．In this system all numbers are written with the nine digits 1，2，3，4，5，6，7，8，9and zero．It is decimal system（十进制），that is，it is built on the base of 10．

A．three                 B．six                       C．nine
59．The two Latin words in the text areC．
A．calculus and stone      B．digitus and finger          C．calculus and digitus
60．A Invented the number system we use today．
A．The Hindus in India     B．Europeans               C．Arab traders
61．There areB steps in the development of the counting system．
A．two                  B．four                     C．five．
