Valuable Resources on the Earth There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the worlds important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The worlds largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands. The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering(提供 ) food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife. Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands. （ ） 1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _ of China. A. east B. south C. west D. north （ ） 2.

Come and play a game, Freddie, he shouted. Freddie walked slowly towards him, a silly smile on his face. Look! Freddie, the villager said, Ive got something for you. He showed Freddie a dollar coin and a much larger 50-cent coin.Which would you like? he asked Freddie. Freddie took the 50-cent coin at once. The villager laughed.See how foolish he is, he said.He always does that. Hes too silly to learn anything. He walked away, leaving Freddie with the visitor. The visitor felt sorry for Freddie and said to him, Although the 50-cent coin is bigger than the 1 coin, the 1 coin is worth(值 ) much more.Two times as much.

If a policeman sees you, youll have to pay a fine (罚款 ). New traffic laws (交通法 ) say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan. Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians (行人 ) must work together to make the streets safer. The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass. There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law. Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldnt climb over the fences (栅栏 ) along streets. Do you bike to school? Its not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike lane (慢车道 ) when youre riding. The big roads are for cars and buses. Do you like to ride your uncles motorbike? When you put on your helmet (头盔 ), ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they dont, theyll have to pay 200 yuan. Do you ride in cars often? Dont forget to put on your seat belt (安全带 ), even if youre going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life. If you see a hit-and run (肇事逃逸 ), tell the police. They may give you a reward (奖赏 ). And dont be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Dont worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they cant pay right away. ( )11. Dont go across the road when _.

She felt too tired. She put down her book， yawned(打哈欠 ) and felt better. Bev looked up, Had the teacher seen her? To her surprise, the teacher was yawning, too. He took a long breath and opened his mouth wide. He closed his eyes a bit and let out his breath in a big, slow yawn. Then Bev heard other yawns. The teacher said, Bev yawned because our doors and windows are closed. And the room is warm. Her body needed more air. Maybe she yawned because she was tired. Maybe she was hungry, or she just needed to move a bit. Do you feel better now, Bev? he asked. Yes, said Bev. “Yawns make us up.” The teacher said. “When you yawn you stretch (伸展 )many parts of your body, That stretching makes you feel good. There were more yawns. People do not know why they yawn, the teacher said. “But if you see a yawn, hear one, or even read about one, you may yawn too. And once your yawn starts, you can t stop it. You may close your mouth to stop it. But the yawn will still come. The teacher stood up and said, Lets open the window. And let some air in. You may also go out for a drink. Cold drink or water on your face helps to stop yawns. Bev may go first. How do you feel now after you have read the story? Did you yawn? Watch a friend read this. See if your friend starts to yawn. If you see a yawn, you will know why! ( )16. Bev yawned because _. A. the teacher yawned B. she put down her book C. she felt tired D. she felt hungry ( )17. Sometimes a person yawns because _.

In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home, alone, they always worry about me and my life without them. Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children. In return, they only want their little ones give them good results in the examinations. But why their little babies still cant understand them? Why? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation（安慰） , and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family. So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their child to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other better and better. Then, will, no, be, a ,one, child, little, as, regarded . 1. What do parents always think of us children? _ 2.What do parents want from their children? _ 3.Who lives a better life, a child with a true family or one without a true family? _ _ 4.将划线部分译成汉语。 _ 5.将被打乱的最后一句话重新排好。 _ 七、缺词填空（共 10 小题 ,每题 1 分 ,计 10 分） On June 1, 2010 I watched a charity show organized by Hong Kong entertainment society.
