“Beauty is only skin deep.” This expression means that beauty is only a temporary and surface（暂时而表面的） quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting harm that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will take a lot of risks for beauty.
In the United States, many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health experts are against it, because it may lead to skin cancer.
In the African country of Senegal, some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite. They use products that lighten the skin. The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products. These products can have some chemicals such as mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide (汞、对苯二酚和氢氧化钠). These are dangerous ingredients (成份) that can cause cancer and possibly other physical harm to the skin. They can even burn the eyes and skin.
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons: women all over the world make changes to their looks. They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd. But some products are so strong. THEY must be mixed with others before they are used.
A woman filmmaker Khardiata Sall from Senegal made a movie “This Color That Worries Me”. It’s about the subject of skin lightening. “I used the most scary pictures so that women would clearly see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man, to be loved. Or they want to please the society, to succeed.” Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the market and the sale of skin lightening products. But she adds education is the best way to tell people against using them.
1.According to the passage, Khardiata Sall ___________.
A. is a white woman B. works as an actor
C. is against skin-lightening D. wants to be white
2.The word “THEY” in the fourth paragraph means____________.
A. mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide B. women in Senegal
C. all skin-lightening products D. some strong skin-lightening products
3.According to the passage, if you are a women in Senegal, you may go out of your way to change your skin color because ___________.
A. you want to please your parents B. you want to make changes to your hobbies
C. you want to look better than men D. you want to find a good job
4.If you put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?
( ①=Para. (自然段)1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 )
A. ①;②;③④⑤ B. ①;②③;④⑤ C. ①②;③;④⑤ D. ①②③;④;⑤

The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it? The following questions and their answers will help you to know more about the Internet.
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a large, world-wide collection (聚集) of computer networks (网络). A network is a small group of computers put together.

If you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web (网) .
What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic (电子) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.
What is e-mail?
Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It’s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address.

Mike found a job in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn’t do anything but wanted to get rich. It was a cold morning. It snowed and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street. “It is full of expensive things.” Mike said to himself. “I have to get it right now, or others will take it away.” He went out of the bookstore and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle (鸣笛), but he didn’t hear it and went on running. The man drove to the side, hit a big tree and hurt himself in the accident. Two weeks later, Mike was taken to the court (法庭). A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing.“But you heard me this time,” said the judge.“Oh, I’m sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.”“Cover (盖住) the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf (聋的) one. Well, can you hear me?”“No, I can’t , sir.”“You told a lie. There is nothing wrong with either of your ears,” the judge said.
