A big picture of the Fat Lady was put up at the entrance of our school library, with the word “password?” on it. I did not realize my adventure had started until I went into the library. Everything inside was red and gold. There was a large fake (假的) fireplace on the wall. There was also a picture of a lion, which stands for Gryffindor, one of the four Houses of Hogwarts. I also saw some armchairs, as well as tables with pumpkin juice and butter beer around the fireplace. The library was full of elements (元素) from the magical world of Harry Potter, including an “owl” and wizard chess. I felt like I was inside the Gryffindor common room (公共休息室)!

Each summer，you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot. Our bodies can't be outside in the sun for a long time. So in hot summers，be careful about playing sports outside.

Firstly，to play sports safely in hot weather，you must drink water. Sports drinks are great for athletes，but they have so much sugar that they'll dehydrate（使脱水）you more. However，drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you.

Secondly，be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest. If your coach doesn't let you take enough breaks in the heat，don't wait until you feel uncomfortable. Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks.

Thirdly，when you have a break，don't sit in the sun. With the sun beating down on you，you'll only heat up and sweat（冒汗）more. Take a seat under a tree，or even better，go indoors for a little while. Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer.

Fourthly，remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise，the cooler it will be. If you can start practice before the sun comes up，you have a few good hours to practise in the cool hours of the morning. Also，the earlier you practise，the earlier you can finish the exercise. If you need more practice time，come back to the field later in the evening，when the sun is setting.

Last but not least，you should watch what you eat. Eat food which is high in water，starch（淀粉）and carbonhydrate（糖类），but be sure to get a good balance in your diet.

As long as you pay attention to the above，playing sports safely in the heat isn't a difficult thing.

A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six

2.From Paragraph 5 we know ．

B. it is not wise to have practice after aunset

C. we have a long time to practise after sunrise

D. it doesn't matter whether you practise early or late

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Sports drinks are good for you with no harm．

B. You need to tell your coach when you feel tired．

C. Sitting under a tree is better than staying indoors．

D. Eating lots of sugar is necessary for sports safely．

4.The passage mainly tells us about ．

A. eating habits in hot summers

B. drinking more water in the heat

Africa is the second largest continent(大陆) in the world. To its southeast lies the Indian Ocean, and toward the west is the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the continent with the world’s second largest population(more than 1 billion) behind Asia.

The continent is home to the world’s tallest animal, giraffes. People can also find crocodiles(鳄鱼), elephants, zebras and hippos(河马) there.

Africa is great to visit. About 60 percent of Africa is made up of drylands and deserts. The most famous one is the Sahara, the largest hot desert in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro(乞力马扎罗山) in east Africa stands 5895metres into the sky. It is the highest point in the continent. Though it lies in the tropics(热带), it is covered with ice and snow year-round. The famous East Africa’s Great Rift Valley(东非大裂谷) goes through the land of Africa. As the longest rift on Earth, it is easy to see from the space.

The continent is famous for its hundreds of ethnic(种族) groups. The three largest ethnic groups are the Hausa, Lgbo and Yoruba. They are all in west Africa. West Africa is also rich in natural resources like cocoa, diamonds and coffee. Cote d’lvoire(科特迪瓦) is the world’s biggest producer of cocoa.

Although many places in Africa are poor, this is not the whole picture. South Africa is the richest country in Africa. Some parts of the country are wealthy. Modern and well-developed roads are common everywhere. You can also spend a day in a large shopping mall or taste delicious seafood in a restaurant.

Everyone has two sets of teeth. The first set (of twenty) begins to grow when you are over six months old. The second set (of thirty-two) grows from the age of six until(直到) you are about twenty-one years old.

To help your teeth grow strong, you must drink much milk and eat green vegetables. Then your body will have the right chemicals(化学物质) that build teeth.

You should brush your teeth after each meal. You should turn the brush and go up and down as well as brushing sideways. If you can't brush your teeth after eating, rinse(冲洗) them with water, or eat an apple or a carrot.

Try to visit a dentist every six months. If there is a hole in the teeth, the dentist will fill it. If you do not have it filled, then the hole will grow larger. When a hole grows too big, the tooth may have to be taken out. So you should take care of your teeth well.
