            There are over 80 known pyramids in Egypt, but the Great Pyramid is
    the largest of all.The Great Pyramid was built thousands of years ago for a
    king called Khufu. It is on the bank of the river not far from Cairo.  In fact,
    all the pyramids along the Nile are on the west bank. The ancient Egyptians
    compared the rising of the sun to the   beginning of life and the  setting of the sun to the end of life.  This is why their dead bodies buried on the west bank of the Nile.
         It is hard to appreciate how big the Great Pyramid is.It has over 2,300,000 blocks of solid stones. These huge stone blocks weigh average two and a half tons each, as much as a small car, and some even weigh fifteen tons. Without modern machines the ancient Egyptians cut, moved and lifted each of the
    stones. Many blocks came from the east bank of the Nile, and they were taken across the river in boats at flood time. It took more than 100,000 slaves
    twenty years to build the Great Pyramid.
    1. The Great Pyramid was built in______________Egypt for a king called_____________

         People usually use modern machines to produce things in large numbers. This method lowers the cost of
    their products (产品) and the price of these products in the markets is lower, too. Thus they give us better
    values. At the same time, new technology and science are always at work, improving the quality of products.
    In this way, better quality products at good values are one after the other being brought to the people of all
    income groups.
         As an example of how this works, when facial tissues, pieces of thin soft paper that you use to blow your
    nose, were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in small numbers and sold at 60 cents per box of
    200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different
    stores.
         Because there was such a market for the product, producers began making tissues in larger and larger
    numbers. Because the producers were making tissues in greater numbers, the costs were lowered, so that the
    cost of tissues went down. At the same time, the quality of facial tissues was improving, because more
    producers went into the business of making tissues, and each producer tried to make his product better than
    his competitors (竞争者). Today, instead of costing 60 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around
    one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
         When people are free to compete, when they are free to make more things and make them better, we all
    feel much better.
    1. How do the makers cut the cost of their products?
    A. They cut the price of their products in the supermarkets.
    B. They have many different machines in their factories.
    C. They improve the quality of their products.
    D. They produce things in large numbers.
    2. How much does a box of 200 tissues cost today?
    A. 80 cents.
    B. 60 cents.
    C. 40 cents.
    D. 20 cents.
    3. Why does the writer of the passage set facial tissue as an example?
    A. To show how the price of tissues becomes lower.
    B. To show how the quality of tissues becomes higher.
    C. To tell the readers how the tissues are made.
    D. To tell the readers how the tissues are sold.
    4. Which is true according to the passage?
    A. The more products they make, the better quality the products will be.
    B. The lower the price of the products is, the more value we can get.
    C. The more products they sell, the less money they make.
    D. The freer you are, the better you feel.

    protect

    The Earth is getting warmer because of the activities of people. We cut down and burn 61 and send gases into the air with our cars and factories.Can we do anything about it? Sure. We may not be leaders or scientists but we can play our part in 62 the planet. Here are two ideas.

    Bike, don’t ride to school

    Do you go to school by bus or by bike? If you bike, you are doing 63 for the Earth. Buses, cars, trains and planes produce a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. If you live near to your school, 64 not bike there on warm spring mornings? Or, you can simply walk to school to save energy.

    Wash the green way

    Do you help your mom and dad wash clothes? Then wash them in an energy-saving way. A recent study by Cambridge University found 65 60 percent of the energy used on a piece of clothing is 66 in washing and drying it. Over its lifetime, a T-shirt can send up to 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the air.

    67 you wash your own clothes, wash them in cold or warm water to save energy, but not hot water. Wash your clothes when 68 fill up the machine. Use the most energy-saving machine you can find. Some new ones use as 69 as one-fourth of the energy of older machines. When they’re clean, dry 70clothes the natural way, by hanging them on a line rather than putting them in a dryer. In all, you can cut the carbon dioxide used in washing by 90 percent.
