Dear Johnny,

Thank you for speaking to our class last Thursday. We’ve all learned a lot about how you make your weather forecasts. After your left, we made a list what we had learned. Then we set up the small weather station outside your classroom. From tomorrow on, one student in the class will be the weather forecaster every day. He or she record data in our weather book. In a few month, we will start drawing graphs and charts what show our weather patterns here in Nebraska. Which you can see, your visit has been given us a lot of ideas. Thank you so much for opening our eyes to this interested subject.

                                                                 Yours,

                                                                   Jack

"Time is a problem for children," states a news report for a new Swiss watch．Children in some countries "learn time slowly" because "they don't wear watches" and "parents don't really know how to teach them time．" The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can't get to work on time．Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it's the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company．

       The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10．The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flick．Flick points to related "blue" minutes on the dial, while Flak points to "red" hour numbers．The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time．

       The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band （尼龙表带）．Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine．" The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25．Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it's quite another for them to be on time．

From the news report we know that ____     .

       A．parents are patient when teaching children time

       B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time

       C．children are likely to learn time quickly

       B．a Flick Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time

       C．the Flick Flak can take children's imagination

       D．children usually have trouble telling time if they don't wear watches

The underlined word handicap （Para．1） means ____     .

       A．displeasure               B．discouragement      

       C．disappointment        D．disadvantage

The United State sales manager calls the new watch “childproof” because ___    .

If, for some reason, you had 2,010 empty plastic bottles, what would you do? You’d probably sell them cheaply, right? But Xia Yu collected 2,010bottles and built a boat with them, As you read this, Xia is, in fact, on a river somewhere in Anhuai, slowly going towards his destination: the Expo Garden in Shanghai．2,010 plastic bottles was to celebrate Expo (世博会) 2010 Shanghai．On the opening day of the Expo, Xia, together with five friends, went on a 1,500 – km journey from Xiangtan to the Expo Garden, in spite of the doubt whether they’ll make it．After all, the boat they are on can hardly be called a boat．It cost only 2,000 yuan to build in a month.

What’s keeping Xia going is a major cause behind the trip．“We are examining water pollution through our journey and trying to promote a low – carbon (低碳) lifestyle．Before we started, no one believed we could sail the boat to the Dongting Lake．But we made it.” But as they expected, the journey has not always been smooth．Of the six from Xiangtan, four gave up．As of the press time (到发稿时), only Xia and his friend Huang Ying were on the boat．Huang suffered from a disease when they reached Jiujiang, Jiangxi province, Xia said, “There are so many things that can stop up from making it to Shanghai, like the weather, health, and sometimes swift rive water.”

“The boat was produced in a factory according to our design, and perhaps it’s not in a very good condition．But,” Xia said, “we are wearing life jackets”．“Some boats passing by offered help.” What is more of a reward for Xia and Huang is that the Yangtze Rive truned out much cleaner than they had expected．Although Xia and Huang are uncertain about the journedy ahead, they are “quite happy” with what they have already achieved．“After all, it’s not the destination that counts．It’s always the course that matters the most.”

Xia Yu doubts the success of the journey because of        .

    A．such a 1ong journey on the river

    B．the poor boat and the bad weather

    C．few people taking part in the journey

    D．the seriously polluted river in some parts

Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the journey?

A．To examine water pollution．   

B．To celebrate Expo 2010 Shanghai.

C．To win a race on the water． 

D．To promote a low－carbon lifestyle.

From the text we know that       .

    A．They stay on the boat at night．

    B．Three people gave up due to their bad health.

    C．Xia Yu and his mate have arrived in Shanghai

    D．Huang suffered from a disease on the journey.

The last paragraph tells us Xia Yu and Huang Ying         .

A．pay more attention to the process.

B．are sure to arrive at the destination.

C．helped turn the Yangtze River cleaner.
