To remember 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big picture called“Dream（梦幻）World Cups” in Japan.

　　People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（纺织）cloth become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people, for these young like to listen to“pop”music and most of“pop”music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.

　　I'm confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence（暴力）is the least civilized（文明的）way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?

　　When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but also ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees（难民）exist, too.

　　A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really“make peace”by killing so many people? I don't think bombs（炸弹）can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and caring, and that's what we need in the world.

　　Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom（智慧）and talk it over?

A．hit his friend

B．won a beautiful shell

C．played with a beautiful shell

D．came to an agreement with his friend

A．he is afraid of wars

B．he doesn't understand adults

C．wars create death and refugees

D．wars are not the only way to make peace

A．Love and care for each other.

B．Don't use violence so quickly.

C．Stop using bombs in wars.

D．Don't hurt or kill people in wars.

A．learn from children

B．be children's models

C．be kind to children

D．teach children how to solve problems

　　Our body can make some vitamins（维生素）. When sunlight shines on the skin（皮肤）, the body produces Vitamin D. Some vitamins cannot be made or stored in the body. Vitamin C is an example. If a person doesn't take in any Vitamin C for a long time, a deficiency（缺乏）can develop in the body.

　　Many people also take vitamin pills. Most vitamin pills contain（包含）man-made vitamins, which are made in labs. Natural vitamins are found in foods. The vitamins that are added to natural foods are also man-made.

　　In the future, scientists may discover several new vitamins. New uses may also be discovered for the known vitamins. Scientists are experimenting to find out if vitamins can cure（治愈）or prevent diseases like cancer and heart disease. It may be that vitamins are even more important than we think.

Dear Editor（编辑）,

　　After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play Internet games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm（伤害）children. Once I went to a net bar（网吧）to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.

　　Talk to your parents and be honest（诚实）to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents' backs.

　　My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Year Four. Every evening we get into homework battles（争执）. Three afternoons a week, she has activities (netball, singing) after school and by the time we get home, homework is the last thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she gets home early and we argue（争论）about whether she should do her homework right after school, or if she should have some time to play and rest first. When Maria at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there helping all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm sure that she is going to need to be able to do it on her own. And in fact, most of the time, I have other things I need to be doing. It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really beyond（超越）their abilities（能力）. As you can see, I'm really worried about homework and I really don't know what I should do. Any ideas?

A．do her homework

B．play netball and sing

C．have supper

D．have a rest and play
