place to help Santa.

     For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see
the beauty of the countryside.Not that the woods and fields were always far away, but they were too far
from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall.What's more, factory
workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home.
     In 1907 a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs.He decided to
turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays.Anyone who brought his sleeping bag
and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money.The idea was a success.A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there.So, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.This was the first Youth Hostel.
     Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each
other.Some spend a week or more in the same hostel, seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area.Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place, spending a night or two in one
hostel, then going to the next.
     Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks
followed by a question period.One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people who come
from these places.For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's
education as classes in school.
1.  The reason why children in the industrial areas seldom left their smoky cities was that ________.
A.  they didn't like the beauty of the countryside at all
B.  their parents' income was not high enough to pay for the cost
C.  they couldn't make a round trip between morning and nightfall because of the distance
D.  Both B & C
2.  Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.  how the first Youth Hostel began
B.  how to turn little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays
C.  what the students should carry when spending summer holidays in the countryside
D.  the reason why spending summer holidays in the countryside
3.  According to the passage,, the following are the mentioned advantages of hostelling EXCEPT
________.
A.  enjoying the beauty of the countryside
B.  broadening their outlook and knowledge
C.  making new friends
D.  avoiding doing their homework

     Algae(水藻) are very simple plants. They grow in fresh water or salty water. Seaweed is algae that
grow in salty water. Seaweed is red or brown in color. The Japanese people use these plants from the
sea in many ways. From it, they make a food called Kombu. Kombu is seaweed that has been dried,
cooked and pressed together. Then it is dried again and cut into long pieces. The Japanese eat a lot of
Kombu and like it very much.
     Japanese farmers often use seaweed as fertilizer. It makes their plants grow better. Many farmers
also find seaweed makes a fine food for their animals.
     From seaweed the Japanese also get iodine(碘), which they sell to other countries. Iodine is used in

     Have you ever stayed up late? If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can make you tried and
grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.
     Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night's sleep is very important. It helps kids be
able to do their best during the day.
A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative(创造性的) thinking.
For the study, two groups of students answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours
solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep.
     While you sleep at night, your brain is busy doing its "homework". It sorts out(整理) all the information that you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely
help you do your best at school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.

     Powerbocking is enough to realize anyone's dreams of super powers:jump six feet in the air and run at
25 miles an hour or more.But,instead of costing six million dollars,you can get a pair of "powerbocks"for
just a couple of hundred.
     Mankind seems to have a strong desire to get off the ground.In the late 1890's stilt walking(踩高跷)
attracted  Europe,with Sylvain Dornon walking from Paris to Moscow on stilts in 58 days.
     The inventor of the Powerbock,German engineer Alexander Boeck,studied the movements of
kangaroos in order to develop his original design.And the Powerbock allows humans to extend their own
Achilles tendon(跟腱)to come close to the length and power of those in animals like kangaroos.As a
result,exercising using the stilts reduces wear and tear on feet and knees while still giving the body enough
exercise.
     Powerbocking is considered as a form of exercise.You'll burn calories five times faster than jogging and
it employs 95% of the body's muscles.It's also an extraordinarily easy form of extreme sport to take up -it
only takes about 30 minutes to master the basics.
     For a start,you'll instantly add 18 inches to your height.And then you'll be capable of the most
extraordinary skills of athleticism.Flipping(翻)backwards 20 times in 20 seconds to set a Guinness World
Record,for example,or leaping over cars.Acquiring them_is an awful lot of fun.It's not surprising that
Powerbocking has been turning up everywhere-on talent shows,commercials and even as part of the
closing ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
     But,he warned-if you're interested in taking up this sport,you need to know that no one can agree what
it should be called.The equipment is sometimes referred to as power stilts,jumping stilts,kangaroo boots
and many more.But there seems to be general agreement that the sport ought to be named
"Powerbocking"in honor of its inventor,Herr Boeck.
1. What do we know about Powerbocking from the passage?
A. It is difficult to learn.
B. It doesn't cost much money.
C. It is a kind of ordinary sport.
D. It was invented in the late 1890's

A. Powerbocking can help people lose weight.
B. Power stilts and kangaroo boots are two different things.
C. Alexander Boeck is good at stilt walking
D. The invention of the Powerbock was inspired by stilt walking.
3. What does the underlined word "them"in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Leaptover cars.
B. Talent shows and commercials.
C. Guinness World Records.
D. Extraordinary skills of athleticism.
3. People think the sport should be called "Powerbocking"because _____.
A. it should have a regular name
B. they want to honor its inventor
C. the name has a long history
D. the name sounds most interesting

that are common for scientists. You might even be considering becoming one yourself.
[2]So now let's get to the topic. What type of person should a scientist be? Don't lose heart if you don't

preparation.

mind. They are flexible and open to new possibilities and there is a very good chance that they might live
their life in this way.

plan. Each experiment needs to be adapted slightly to try and encourage more favourable outcomes. A
scientist cannot give up at the first difficulty.

questions. Their job is usually to ask how, what and why things happen and to provide theories that
demonstrate this.
