"Last week," he said, "my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."‎ ‎ "How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.‎ ‎ "Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City‎ ‎Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella.. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."‎ ‎ "Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one."‎ ‎ The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City‎ ‎Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known."‎ ‎ This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.‎ ‎1. What is an advertisement?‎ A. A news item.

Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation. ‎ The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French, it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.‎ Did you know that the British and the French had a race whi1e they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig ‎ the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.‎ The completed Chunnel cost about $ 21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.‎ There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other.‎ There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels, and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains.‎ Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off, this is the last stop.‎ ‎3．The Channel Tunnel links ______ with _______.‎ A. Dover; Kent B. London; Paris C. Lille; Brussels D.Cheriton; Sangatte ‎4．Which of the following shows the structure of the tunnels in the Chunnel?‎ ‎5．The Eurotunnel shuttle is intended to carry _________.‎ A. passengers B. drivers and their vehicles C. goods D. staff members of the Chunnel ‎6．The text can most probably be __________. ‎ A. found in a textbook B. read in a magazine C. broadcast on a train D. heard in a railway station Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.‎ The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.‎ One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?‎ Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug for an answer.‎ Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.‎ ‎7．This passage gives us some advice on_______.‎ A. how to make friends ‎ B. what kind of person you can make friends with C. how to start a conversation ‎ D. the importance of smile ‎8．Most people like to make friends with those________.‎ A. who are sad every day B. who share the same interest C. who are fond of talking D. who say bad things to them ‎9．According to the third paragraph, most people enjoy talking to one_______.‎ A. who is always smiling B. who seems to be friendly C. who praises them D. who points out their shortcomings Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.‎ ‎ Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It is bad for all living things in the world.‎ ‎ Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. We need to do many other things. We should put waste things in the dustbins instead of on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, less pollution will be made. Rules are not enough to solve the problems. Every person must help to fight pollution.‎ ‎10．Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today because _____.‎ A. there were not any modern machines B. there was no modern medicine C. there were not many people D. both A and B ‎11．What is the most serious problem in today’s life?‎ ‎ A. water pollution B. air pollution C. noise pollution D. pollution ‎12．Why do people speak louder now than before?‎ A. people are stronger B. people are afraid of nothing ‎ C. there is much noise D. people have problem in hearing ‎13．What does the writer ask readers to do?‎ A. each country should make its own rules to fight pollution B. every person must help to fight pollution C. all people should take buses D. we should control the population ‎14．From the passage, we know that _____.‎ A. the pollution is not serious ‎ B today people don’t talk in loud voice ‎ C. we have to drink dirty water ‎ D. people are making rules to control pollution Seth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University‎ of ‎Kentucky US. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.‎ The United Nations Development Program says a billion and a half people have no electricity. A billion others have an undependable supply.‎ ‎ Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.‎ Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a separate fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do. ‎ ‎ DeBOLT said, "The people at most risk with respect to energy poverty, typically they're the same people who have food insecurity issues as it is. And then any change in availability would be most damaging to that group of people."‎ ‎ But he found one item that was in plentiful supply and would not create competition between food and fuel. Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says it has an "excellent" heating value. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.‎ ‎ DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power. "Coconuts are growing here and these are the areas where there is possibility for energy poverty to be eased at least in part by these small-scale production systems."‎ ‎ The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well.‎ ‎ But DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste produced in the process. And there needs to be money to get these projects started.‎ ‎15．Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural areas of developing countries to .‎ ‎ A. help farmers make full use of waste ‎ B. seek certain materials to make electricity ‎ C. persuade farmers to grow more coconuts ‎ D. find a suitable place to carry out the experiment ‎16．DeBolt thought it was not a good idea to grow fuel crops because .‎ ‎ A. there are plenty of coconuts ‎ B. local farmers have no interest in it ‎ C. it would make food problems worse ‎ D. fuel crop has little use for local farmers ‎17．The last two paragraphs mainly tell us that coconut power .‎ ‎ A. needs further experiments and efforts ‎ B. can help solve energy problem perfectly ‎ C. will cause technique and money problems ‎ D. has drawn Indonesia's government attention ‎18．What might be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Make Full Use Of Coconuts B. Make Power From Coconuts C. A Perfect Solution D.
