    Different kinds of soil conservation methods are used by farmers to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.

    Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.

    There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.

    However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.

    There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.

    1.What is a windbreak according to the passage?

    A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.

    B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.

    C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.

    D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.

    2.When can windbreaks be most effective?

    A. The trees are planted one by one.

    B. The trees and plants grow in a line.

    C. The trees grow as high as they can.

    D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.

    3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.

    B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.

    C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.

    D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.

    The universe looks like a pretty quiet place to live. But the universe is filled with dangerous things, all struggling to be the one to wipe us off the planet. Happily for us, they’re all pretty unlikely, but if you wait long enough, one of them is certain to get us. But which one?

    1. Death by Asteroid (小行星)

    Of all the ways we might meet our untimely death, getting wiped out by an asteroid is the most likely. Why? Because we sit in a universal shooting gallery, with 100 tons of material hitting us every day. The problem, though, occurs every few centuries when something big this way comes. If you could ask a dinosaur, I’d imagine they would tell you to take this seriously.

    2. Death by Exploding Star

    When a huge star ends its life, it does so with a bang, which sends death spreading across space in the form of high-energy radiation. Many studies show that the bang would have to be closer than about 75 light years to do us any harm. The good news: no stars so close are able to do the deed.

    3. Death by Dying Sun

    The sun is important to us; without it, we’d freeze. But the sun is also middle-aged, already halfway to running out of fuel, expanding into a red giant, and cooking us to a fine crisp. Even long before then, it’ll warm up enough to raise our average temperature and cause a runaway greenhouse effect, boiling our oceans.

    Happily, that’s a long time from now.

    4. Death by Black Hole

    Black holes are misunderstood. They don’t wander the galaxy looking for tasty snacks in the form of planets and stars; they turn around the Milky Way just like the hundreds of billions of other stars do. But it’s possible that one could wander too close to us. If it did, planetary paths would be disturbed, causing the Earth to drop into the sun or be thrown out into deep space.

    Given that it could be trillions of years or more before even that happens, we don’t have to worry too much about black holes.

    My advice? Go outside, look up, enjoy the sun, the moon, and the stars. They may be there forever as far as any one of us is concerned...and forever is a long, long time.

    1.The underlined word “this” probably refers to ________.

    A. getting wiped out by a dinosaur

    B. an untimely death

    C. a cosmic shooting gallery

    D. 100 tons of material

    2.Which of the following will cause the earth’s average temperature to go up dramatically?

    A. The dying sun.B. The black hole.

    C. The asteroid.D. The exploding star.

    3.Which of the following statement is possible about black holes?

    A. They wander the galaxy.

    B. One of them wanders very close to the earth.

    C. They turn around the galaxy.

    D. They look for planets and stars.

    4.While the author is introducing the ways the universe could wipe out humankind, he is ________ us.

    A. warningB. comfortingC. entertainingD. ignoring

    In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be ________ with who you are. There's always someone who's a bit ________. The only solution is to reach ________ and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more ________ measure for comparison than who you were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your ________.

    Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. ________ you see yourself as better than someone and you get ________, or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for ________.

No matter how hard you work and how ________ you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there's not, you can ________ someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best ________.

    There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.

    On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."

    The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.

    "You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you."

    "But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.

    "A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."

    The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."

    "I can," answered the captain.

    "If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."

    The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?"

    "There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."

    "But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily.

    " A fire's fire, you said," answered the sailor. "If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken."

    1. The captain got the sailors' wages ________.

    A. to buy a chicken for himself

    B. and said he would return the money soon

    C. and kept the money for future

    D. by cheating him

    2.The captain insisted that the fire was warming the sailor because he ________.

    A. wanted to keep his promise

    B. didn't believe the sailor's success

    C. didn't want to lose the bet

    D. wanted to show his cleverness

    3. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

    A. In order to help the sailor in the water, the fishermen made a fire.

    B. The sailors didn't trust the captain.

    C. The captain failed to cheat the sailor this time.

    D. The sailor didn't get out of the water before the sun appeared.

    4.What is the best title of the story?

    A. A Fire Is Fire

    B. How a Sailor Got a Ship
