A two-year-old girl saved her mother when she fell badly ill. The girl’s mother, Carla Imbrenea, managed to dial 999 before suffering severe chest pains and shortness of breath. As she drift in and out of consciousness(知觉), she heard her daughter, Gabriella, calmly telling the operator her mother’s name and address.

Gabriella even followed the operator’s instructions and placed a wet towel on her mother’s head and fetched her a drink.

When ambulance(救护车) arrived at the house in Bournemouth, Dorset, the girl carried her chair to the front door but could not reach the handle. She went back to her mother and helped to pull her up that she could let the paramedics in. Lisa White, a nurse, said: “Gabriella was fantastic. She was so calm. Usually children get very upset when their parents are ill, but she did very well.”

Ms Imbrenea said she had managed to dial 999. “But I just couldn’t talk because I was too ill. All I can remember next is hearing Gabriella tell the operator my name. She told them my address and kept telling them that I was awake. Gabriella told them I was hot, and then got a wet towel to put on my head. Then she searched the house before coming back with an old bottle of juice. ”

“I was so lucky to have her there as she completely took control even though she is so young. She is fantastic and I am so proud of her.” Ms Imbrenea added: I have never spoken to Gabriella about what to do in an emergency(紧急情况), but she was so calm. Perhaps she will grow up to be a nurse.”

Have you ever heard of Angel Falls(瀑布)? It's the highest waterfall in the world, deep in the jungles of Venezuela. Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you went by land, you would have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the northern coast, it would take about four hours.

What would it be like to take a trip by plane from Caracas to the falls? For hundreds of miles you would fly southeast over green plains. Then the land would become higher and you would see mountains with forests. Soon the land would level out to high plateaus (高原). Finally, you would fly toward a deep valley with steep, rocky sides.

Suddenly you would see a silver thread in the distance. Then as your plane flew closer, you would see the waterfall more clearly. You would see water falling over half a mile straight down the cliff. It is a sight you would never forget.

No one knew about this high waterfall until 1930. In that year James Angel an American pilot flew over the areas. As he was flying over the mountains and valleys, he suddenly saw a waterfall. It was an unforgettable sight. The water seemed to be dropping straight out of the clouds.

In 1941 an American expedition explored and measured the falls. From the top to the bottom, the water falls more than 3,200 feet. These falls are over 1,000 feet higher than any other falls in the world. . Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in the world. B. Many people go to see Angel Falls every year. C. Angel Falls is in Venezuela. D. Angel Falls looks like a silver thread in the distance. 65. Angel Falls was named after . A. an American pilot. B. a pilot of Caracas C. an American expedition D. a deep valley

66. If you travel to Angel Falls by air, which is the correct order of what you do and see?

a. fly toward a deep valley with steep, rocky sides b. the land becomes higher c. take a plane from Caracas cliff d. the water falls straight down the cliff e. fly southeast over green plains f. see a silver thread in the distance A. c, e, b, a, d, f B. a, c, b, d, f, e C. c, d, a, b, e, f D. c, e, b, a, f, d

One day when Isaac Newton was reading a book under an apple tree on the farm, an apple fell down and hit him on the head. For most people that would be the end of the story, but not for Newton. Why did the apple fall out of the tree? Does everything fall? What makes things fall? Can anything stop things from falling? Are the sun, moon, and stars falling? Why don’t they ever hit the ground?

So many questions. Newton spent many years answering these questions by thinking and doing experiments. He made up the law of gravity. According to this law everything pulls everything else to itself by a force called gravity. How strong that force is depends on how heavy the things are and how close together.

Newton’s law of gravity (万有引力定律) not only explained how things fall on earth, but now planets move around the sun and how moons move around planets. A friend of his, Edmund Halley, decided to try Newton’s theory on comets (彗星). People had been studying comets for hundreds of years without figuring them out, so he decided to study their reports and compare（作比较） them to Newton’s theory.

Up till then people had thought that comets just came and went, and that nobody could know when or why. But Newton’s law of gravity gave rules that Halley could use to study the records of comets. He found some reports of a big bright comet that he was sure was the same one, coming back every 75 years. He predicted (预言) when it would come back next.

If anybody still didn’t believe Newton, then the appearance of Halley’s Comet just when Halley had predicted it using Newton’s ideas was enough to convince them. Halley’s Comet has come a few times since then, always right on schedule. You’ll be able to see it on its next trip near the sun and earth when you’re old enough to be a grandparent. 67.The passage starts with a story _____________.

A. because it was such a funny one B. because Newton liked to eat apples

C. to show how much Newton liked reading D. to show what started Newton’s discovering gravity 68. According to the author, Newton was especially different from others in that ____________.

A. he liked reading under apple trees B. he liked to find out how things worked C. he was very quiet and patient D. he was so much interested in science 69. Newton’s law of gravity can tell us that _____________.

A. gravity has no relationship(联系) with the weight of things. B. how things fall on earth

C. it is not of help to the study of comets D. it can explain everything in the world 70. Which of the following is TRUE about Edmund Halley?

A. He discovered a big bright comet. B. He helped Newton to create his theory. C. He predicted when the same comet would come back. D. He studied the same comet for 75 years.

The students in our class had a discussion about whether ads are good or bad in our life. Their opinions are divided.

Some of them think that ads have many advantages. Firstly, with the help of ads, consumers can have enough information about the products, which can help them make a good choice. Secondly, it is enjoyable to read ads with attractive pictures and clever and interesting language. What’s more, PSAs can help consumers realize some social issues and educate people to obey rules, to value lives and how to live healthy lives.

However, other students have the opposite opinion. It seems to them that some ads don’t tell the truth, which mislead consumers. Besides, some ads cover too much space in newspapers and magazines, and ads often interrupt people when they are watching TV. Worse still, ads cause people to buy unnecessary things.

In my opinion, ads are important and necessary but they should tell the truth and consumers should use our intelligence and not be a slave to them.
