　　It was already late when we set out for the next town, which according to the map was about fifteen miles away on the other side of the hills.

　　There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell soon after we left the village, but luckily we met no one as we drove fast along the narrow winding road that led to the hills. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall, making it difficult at times to see the road. I asked John, my companion, to drive more slowly.

　　After we had travelled for about twenty miles, there was still no sign of the town which was marked on the map. We were beginning to get worried. Then, without warning, the car stopped. A quick examination showed that we had run out of petrol(汽油). Although we had little food with us, we decided to spend the night in the car.

　　Our meal was soon over. I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, who was a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon he came running back. From the top of the hill he had seen, in the valley below, the lights of the town we were looking for. We at once unloaded (卸)all our luggage (行李)and with a great effort, managed to push the ear to the top of the hill. Then we went back for the luggage, loaded(装)the car again and set off down the hill. In less than a quarter of an hour we were in the town, where we found a hotel quite easily.

　　Recent studies have shown that the earth is getting warmer. The scientists who carried out the studies say a large amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere is the reason for the warming. CO₂ is the gas which human and animals give off when they breathe. It is also produced when coal, oil and other things are burnt. Scientists have warned that this kind of burning is adding too much CO₂ to the atmosphere. They believe the gas acts like a green house; the grass-topped building used to grow plants in cold weather. They say the gas is like the grass roof of a green house, which lets in sun- light, but prevents heat from running away. As a result, they say the earth becomes warmer.

　　One of these scientists, Dr. Hansen, says the weather will become so hot that some rivers will dry up. On the other hand, satellite pictures show us there is less ice in the Antarctic(南极)during the summer time than in earlier years. The heat would turn all the ice at both ends of the earth into water, making the oceans rise five to seven metres higher than they are now.

(1)The weather is getting warmer because ________.

[　　]

A．there are too many human and animals on the earth

B．a lot of heat has been produced by burning of some materials

C．the sun has given more heat for recent years

D．there is a large amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere

(2)Farmers in cold weather build some green house to________.

[　　]

A．keep warm in winter

B．get some more sunlight

C．get some heat to plant some vegetables

D．prevent some vegetables from shining

(3)Too much CO₂ makes the earth warmer than before because ________.

[　　]

A．it can give heat to the earth

B．it can prevent heat from running away

C．it can absorb(吸收)heat from the sun

D．it can pollute the atmosphere

(4)According to the view of Dr. Hansen, some day in the future ________.

[　　]

A．all rivers on the earth will dry up

B．the water level on land will rise five to seven metres higher

C．all ice in the Antarctic will turn into water

D．all ice on the earth will turn into water

(5)What do you think the best way to prevent the earth from getting warmer?

[　　]

A．Many animals should be got rid of.

B．Many kinds of materials should be used again.

C．The growing increase of population should be controlled.

D．Something should be done to prevent air pollution.

　　I think cigarette smoking is highly addictive (上瘾) and very expensive. Especially when you're 14 and get a $ 9 weekly allowance. I'm in ninth grade and started smoking in sixth.

　　The first cigarette I ever had was in fifth grade. My mom was walking our dogs and found an unopened pack that she brought home to use as an insecticide (杀虫剂) in the garden. A friend had told her that tobacco stops ants from attacking plants. Of course, when I found the pack, I took the cigarettes to my bedroom and being the little rebel I was, lit one with matches I stole from Dad．

　　I didn't get a buzz, because I didn't inhale (吸气) but just the fact I was actually smoking made me think I was cool. But my friend Donna didn't think so. She just looked at me like I was the stupidest thing on earth. Which I probably was, because still smoke to this day.

　　I've tried to quit, but it's very bard since most of my friends smoke too. When I started smoking regularly at the beginning of sixth grade, not that many students smoked; by the end of the year, a lot were smoking. It was pretty bad．Some kids grades get down, including mine, from skipping closes to get nicotine (尼古丁) into their systems. Now, in ninth grade, I'm still smoking.

　　About five months after I started cigarettes, I began smoking marijuana (大麻). There's no doubt in my mind that cigarettes are a gateway drug. Almost everyone I know started smoking before doing drugs. That has to tell you something.

　　Since I've smoked, I can smoke. I can hardly run around the block without getting out of breath. My mom quit smoking 18 years ago, and my dad stopped 14 years ago. My morn now has cancer, and my dad had bad three heart attacks. My grandma quit nine years ago, and she has emphysema (肺气肿). Not only that ---- my two grandfathers died from the results of smoking. After all this, you'd think I'd know better than continue.

　　Kids of teenagers who think smoking is cool or who want to try it: don't! It might make you feel calmer when you're really worked up, but 20 years from now you could find yourself really calmed down. You, too, could get emphysema, lung cancer, mouth cancer and much more.

　　I have told my parents that I will try to stop smoking as a present to them. But I hate the thought of never having another cigarette. You see-- no ifs, ands, or buts---- I'm really hooked．

(1)The writer's purpose in writing the article is ________.

[　　]

A．to warn to the adult not to smoke

B．to advise the youth not to smoke

C．to force parents to stop smoking

D．to ask the school to forbid smoking

C．Smoking costs money as well as people's health.

D．The writer's parents both failed in quitting smoking.

(4)When she says “I'm really hooked” the writer means ________.

　　Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few-- for example; the average among students is about 6 per person.

　　Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.

　　At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and hackground．

　　We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.

　　Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests. They often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!

　　In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

(1)According to the passage, a friend is ________.
