CYANG Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat.But looking at the new road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more. But these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official (官员) at the Ministry of Land and Resources (国土资源部).Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale.Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares (公顷) of farmland. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal (非法的) land use and stop farmland from becoming desert.( ) 45. The article seems to tell us that _. A. farmland is in danger B. countrysides are turned into towns C. farmland has been sold D. Chinese cities are grown fast( ) 46. From what Gan Zangchun said, he is worrying about _. A. Chinas development B. land and resources C. Chinese peoples life D. illegal land use( ) 47. What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert? A. 120 million hectares. B. 121.8 million hectares. C. 2.67 million square kilometres. D. Millions of square kilometres. DBad teeth, a heavier body? And now, weaker bones (骨骼). Last week, American scientists found another bad thing about cola: Its bad for our bones, especially womens bones.Well, if cola is bad for us, you may want other popular drinks, for example, energy drinks (功能饮料). Energy drinks look cool. Their makers say they give you energy and make you better at sports. So, many students drink them before exams to help them stay awake.But wait. To keep you awake, most energy drinks have a lot of caffeine (咖啡因). They are like a strong cup of coffee or tea. If you drink a lot of them, your heart will beat faster. You will feel nervous. You could also have sleeping problems and find it hard to live without them.Amanda Smith is a 16-year-old US junior high school student. She drinks one or more energy drinks every day. She started to do this a year ago before dance class. But now, Smith says, I drink them whenever I feel weak or before a test. I cannot help drinking them.The energy you get from the drinks helps for only a short time. You may feel good for an hour or so, but then youll feel worse than before.( ) 48.

They cannot tell good from bad until they learn more about the world. Scientists think this age is between 18 months and two years of age.But a recent study by US scientists had a surprising result: Babies as young as six months can tell good from bad acts.Scientists studied 16 10-month-old and 12 six-month babies. They made the babies watch a short game. In the game, someone tried to climb a hill. While he was climbing, some triangles (三角形) helped push him up, but squares (正方形) blocked his way.The scientists gave the babies triangles and squares to choose from. Fourteen of the 16 10-month-olds and all 12 of the six-month-olds chose triangles.These scientists say the result shows that babies are born with ability to make moral judgments (道德判断). They do not just learn it from their parents.51. What do most of us think of babies between 18 months and two years of age?52. Whose study had a surprising result about babies recently?53. How many babies do you think joined the experiement?54. What did the scientists ask the babies to do? BIn most Western countries schools are a really important part of the community.For example, in Britain, schools are governed by boards of governors (理事会). Such boards will include the school head teacher, teachers, parents of students and other people from the community.There are parents evenings. At a parents evening, parents go along to discuss their childs work with the teachers. In one-to-one talks teachers tell the parents how the kids are doing and ask for the parents own input (投入). If kids are not working hard, they may find themselves told off (被批评) after a parents evening! If a kid is trying hard, but has a problem, the parents and the teachers try to work out a way to help.There are other ways in which parents get involved (参与). Schools put on plays, at Christmas and on other festivals. Moms and dads come along to watch their kids first steps in acting.Schools also hold Sports Days. These are like miniature Olympic Games. Parents go along to watch their kids competing in a number of games - some quite a lot more fun than those in the Olympics. I remember taking part in a three-legged race (竞赛) when I was a kid!55. Where do you think schools are really important part of the community?56. Who govern schools in Britain?57. What do the parents and teacehrs do if a kid is trying hard but has a problem?58. How do parents get involved at Christmas and on other festivals?59. What are Sports Days like? CBooker Washington was a famous African-American educator (教育家).One day, he was walking in town when a rich white woman stopped him. She didnt know the famous man.

When he had finished, he carried the wood into the house and put it by the fireplace.A little girl recognized (认出) him and told the woman. The next morning the embarrassed woman went to see Washington in his office and said sorry.Its all right, Madam, he replied.
