All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very d 1       from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms,however.

In many parts of the w 2       ,farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States,however,each farm family lives on its o 3       fields,often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of t 4       from a village to the fields every morning,American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on S 5       for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children r 6       on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas,there are small schools serving a few farm families,and the children walk to school.

Of course life keeps changing for e 7       ,including farmers. Today there are cars,good roads,radios,and television sets. And of course there are modern m 8       for farming. All of these have changed farm life.

For many years,however,farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own p 9       ,instead of getting help from others. They 1 10       to try new methods,and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.

Once upon a time there was a princess who was very proud：if a man came to ask her to marry him,she would give him a riddle,and if he couldn't guess it,he would be 1 1       at.

Three tailors knew that and they wanted to have a try. The two older tailors thought that as they had already successfully sewn (縫) many b 2       clothes,they would be successful this time as well. The third was much y 3       . The two others said to him, " You'd better just stay at home. You can't win."But the young tailor wouldn't be put off.

So all three of them came to the princess and asked her to tell her riddle to them. The princess said, "I have two k 4       of hair on my head. What colors are they?"

"That's easy," said the first. "I think they're black and white like my clothes."

The princess said, "You are wrong. Let the second of you answer."

So the second said, "If they are not black o 5       white,then they are brown and red like my father's coat."

"Wrong again”，said the princess. "Let the third of you answer."

So the young tailor looked at the princess' skirt. It was silver and gold. So he said, "The princess has silver and gold hair on her head,and those are the two colors."

When the princess h 6       that,she turned pale,for the young tailor was right. But she said, "This still doesn't give you the right to m 7       me. There's something e 8       you must do first. There's a bear in this castle,and you must s 9       this night with him. If you're still alive when I get up tomorrow morning,then you can marry me."She thought that the young tailor would be k 10       by the bear,and then she wouldn't marry him.

Fighting CD Copiers

How much do you want to pay for a CD by your favourite singer Jay Chou? Five yuan for a pirated one,or more for a real one?

Wang Ye,14. said she would like the real one although the pirated one is cheaper. "A real one is worth keeping for years," said the girl from No. 1Middle School in Wuhu,Anhui. "Real CDs always sound better to me."

What Can We Do?

People want to do more to help those like Wang to get real CDs.

This week the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI,國(guó)際唱片業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)) asked many countries to act against piracy.

In many places in China,the government is checking audio and video products (產(chǎn)品) . Pirated ones are broken into pieces.

Piracy is in your daily life. Don't believe it? A study by 21st Century Teens found that more than 75 percent of juniors had listened to pirated music. They say this is because pirated products are usually much cheaper than the real ones.

Why are real CDs so expensive? When a music company makes music,it needs to pay the song writers and singers. It costs a lot of money！This makes the prices of the CDs go up. Piracy is like stealing. People who make pirated copies of CDs take away the writers1 and singers' work without paying them. They don't even ask them if they can.

So next time you'd better keep your eyes widened when you see cheap CDs,remember you're helping someone to do something wrong if you buy them.

How Do I Know What's Real? Already made up your mind to buy real ones? Well,you should get to know what real CDs look like.

A real CD has the name and trademark of the music company on the cover. The company's address,telephone number and fax number are also on it.

If you open the CD box,you'll see the singer's name and the album title. Most important of all,a real CD has a number from the IFPI on it.

But people who make pirated CDs need the real CD and disks to copy them. That's why some CDs are only five yuan,but some may sell for 150.       

(   ) 11. A real CD has        on it.

   A. the name of the company

   B. the number from the IFPI

   C. the name of the singer

   D. all above

(   ) 13. Buying pirated CDs is just like         .

   A. stealing

   B. robbing

   C. helping someone do something wrong

   D. helping someone

(   ) 14. From the passage we get to know that some pirated audio and video products are

   A. moved away   B. destroyed

   C. broken   D. made smaller

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

The temperature of your body should be always just the same,no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer (溫度計(jì)) when you are sick. When you are well,your temperature is about 37^. If he finds it higher than that,it is a sure sign that something is wrong.

The body keeps the same temperature all the time,because it balances the heat it produces and gives off. It is always burning up food and producing heat. It will produce heat faster when it needs to,and give off heat faster when it is too hot. Let's see how this happens.

The heat of your body is given off chiefly through the skin. When you are cold,your skin is tight and shows " goose flesh". At this time you usually prefer warming up by exercise,or put on more clothes to keep heat in.

When you are hot,the skin is loose and soft. It is supplied with more blood,and the heat is given off rapidly. If you are very hot,you begin to sweat. In this way,more body heat is given off from your skin. You wear less clothes,too,so that the heat can be given off freely. You may not want to exercise at this moment because your body is hot already,and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.

You will feel differently in different kinds of weather as well. In summer,when it is hot,you feel tired and lazy. You do not want to work or play,but enjoy lying down and doing nothing. But when you get out of doors in winter,the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to run and play.

(   ) 11. Doctors take a patient's temperature to see         .

   A. whether a person is ill or not

   B. if the patient's skin is loose or soft

   C. what the weather is like

   D. whether a person feels hot or cold

(   ) 12. How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?

   A. It balances the heat it gets and loses.

   B. It gives off the heat produced in it.

   C. It is always producing heat from food.

   D. It stops producing heat when necessary.

(   ) 13. When one feels too hot,he begins to sweat in order to         .

   A. produce more water

   B. give off heat quickly

   C. make the skin soft and loose

   D. get the blood to move faster

(   ) 14. We feel differently in different kinds of weather because .

   A. our body temperature is always changing with the weather

   B. warm weather makes us feel lazy and cold one makes us active

   C. we are moody according to the changes of temperature
