    Five teenagers from Sarasota, Florida, are making music from garbage. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from old things. The guitars are boxes. The horn (喇叭) is made from pipes . The keyboard is formed from old bottles.
    The band started about two years ago. Jack, who was in eighth grade at the time, decided to make a homemade guitar. After some hard work, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a big ruler and some little sticks. After Jack showed his guitar to his friend Ollie, Ollie had the idea to make a band using other homemade instruments as a way to suggest people recycle old things. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the rubbish box,” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually recycle old things.”
    Ollie, 15, plays the drums made from rubbish cans. Evan, 14, plays the guitar; Harrison, 15, plays the horns and the violin; and Austin, 16, plays the keyboard. They make up the band The Garbage-Men and play at local parties around. They wand to help people get interested in recycling old things. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really easy for people to understand,” Jack says. Their instruments may be garbage, but their message isn’t.

    One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains．Because

    trip．But what’s the best navigation tool，a Global Positioning Sys-
    tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?
    Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail
    (路线)I marked．One team of three carried a GPS，and the other

    It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the
    whole hike，however，it took the map and compass team only 2
    hours and 49 minutes．The biggest problem the GPS team met was
    that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places．With
    no map or compass，they had to walk around until they were in a
    place where the signal was good．The map and compass team was
    able to spot different landmarks，compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction．
    When I head out on my future hikes，I’m bringing a map，a compass and a GPS to show me the way．
    (   )小题1:The two teams____．
    A．had the same navigation tool  B．went along the same trail  C．had the same problem

    There is an old saying in English, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people’s health.
    Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.
    Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.
    There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system that is the system which fights infection (感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group — in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.
    As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病学) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.
    小题1: We learn from the first paragraph that laughter           .
    A．is good for one’s health
    B．has strong effects to do with some illness
    C．has been studied long since
    D．has no effect on the body
    小题2: Doctors have found that laughter           .
    A．keeps down blood pressure
    B．has similar effects to physical exercise
    C．decreases the heart rate
    D．increases stress and pain
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?
    A．It makes pain less.
    B．It exercises the body.
    C．It improves the body’s immune system.
    D．It can cure cancer.
    小题4: Smiling can produce _________.
    A．about the same effects as laughter
    B．more effects than laughter
    C．fewer effects on the human body
    D．no effects on the human body
    小题5: The main idea of this passage is that _________.
    A．the doctors should learn how to make people laugh
    B．there are several ways of studying the advantages of laughter
    C．tests show that laughter can produce positive effects on human body

    London used to be “foggy”（ 有雾的） for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog（烟雾）, a mixture of smoke and fog．In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal(煤)that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. In a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.
    Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.
    However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.
    小题1:What was the main reason for air pollution in London?
    A．There was too much smoke in the sky．
    B．There were too many factories in the city．
    C．People burnt too much coal in the houses．
    D．The city was too big for the cleaners to clean．
    小题2:What does the underlined word “pea-soupers” refer to?
    A．SmogB．Smoke
    C．GasD．Coal
    小题3:Which sentence is Not true?
    A．Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing．
    B．Using coal is much more expensive than using gas．
    C．Factories made much more pollution in China．
    D．The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different
