The first day of school, our professor introduced an old lady named Rose to us.

“Why are you in college at such an age？” I asked her. She replied, “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！” We became friends quickly.

At the end of the term I invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't need any talent or ability. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”

At the end of the year, Rose finished her college. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. We would always remember the great woman.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: The way people shop at markets.

People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.

However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount(數(shù)量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.

The difference could be due to the different weather.

Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.

1.In southern China, people usually buy at a time.

A. a small amount of food

B. a large amount of food

C. enough food for a week

2.If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may ．

A. peel and cut them for you

B. laugh at you

C. only sell them in boxes and baskets

3.Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ．

A. the weather is hot and wet

B. food goes bad quickly

C. the weather is cold and dry

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Different Weather in China

B. Different Living Habits in China

C. Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese

Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent(依賴于) on them!

In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care, their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents，these children will be in a big trouble!

It is nice that parents show their care to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.

1.According to the writer, the common problem in China is that ．

A. many children don't like to go to school

B. some parents do almost everything for their children

C. some parents don't let their children go anywhere

2.Most Chinese children know little about the world because ．

A. their parents take too much care of them

B. most parents have only one child

C. they are too young

3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指代) ．

A. children B. parents C. teachers

4.What does the writer really want to tell us?

A. Children don't need any love.

B. Parents should give children as much love as possible.

C. Parents should let their children do things themselves.

Put 2 February in your diary! It is World Wetlands Day! It marks the date that the Convention(公約) on Wetlands was signed(簽署)in1971.This special day was first celebrated in 1997 and it is celebrated every year.

The celebration is a call for action. It is a way to show people how important and useful the wetlands are for people. On World Wetlands Day, people around the world take part in many wetlands activities.

All plants and animals are part of the food chain(鏈).If the small wetlands animals die, some animals in the food chain will have nothing to eat. They will also die. People need the wetlands to keep the balance of nature in the world. If we do not protect nature today，it will be gone tomorrow.
