People often think of the North Pole(北極) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰凍的)

wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.

The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.

Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.

There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北極圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.

People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “l(fā)eads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.

1.This passage is probably from ___________.

A. a book review B. a science book

C. a school report D. a computer magazine

2.According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago ?

A. Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.

B. Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.

C. The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.

D. The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.

3.What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?

A. 氣候惡劣的 B. 充滿危險(xiǎn)的 C. 困難重重的 D. 無(wú)人居住的

4.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is _____________.

A. that the temperature suddenly drops B. that the water under the ice is frozen

C. that the ocean water under the ice moves D. that the surface is covered with lots of ice

5.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. The thick ice in the North Pole.

B. A difficult trip to the North Pole.

C. The real situation in the North Pole.

D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.

Do you know any 9?year?olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt(羅斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(標(biāo)本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.

Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe.Instead of playing, he observed(觀察) nature and then read and wrote about it.

Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This wasindeed “a loss to science”， Roosevelt said later.

Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.

In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA.At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window every afternoon, sewing or reading.

As several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning, I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批評(píng)) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (評(píng)判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

3.The underlined sentence “it dawned on me” probably means “ ”.

A. I began to understand it

B. it cheered me up

C. I knew it grew light

D. it began to get dark

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. One shouldn’t criticize others very often.

B. One should often make his windows clean.

C. One must judge himself before he judges others.

D. One must look at others through his dirty windows.

Different countries have different customs in giving presents. In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the pronunciation of the word for “clock” in Chinese is similar to the pronunciation of “death”．Also, don’t wrap (用……包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because they are the colours for funerals (葬禮)．Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (One, Three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.
