the american population. many of these young people will be in power in the usa. naturally their ideas are important to everyone in the country, and it is necessary for older people to understand what they think and feel. college students today have strong opinions about right and wrong. they are deeply interested in making a better life for all people, especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before now. they see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents. it is hard for them to see what is right and good in the older ways. as a result, there is often trouble in

especially with the support of family and friends. some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, but others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school. children often come to adults for information, comfort and help. parents should try to remain calm, answer childrens questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their childrens behavior. children react(反应) differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. some will remain silent and not communicate with people, while others will have angry outbursts(爆发).

hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family meal times or bed times for them. they should answer questions shortly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their

autumn leaves. the changing fall leaves never fail to surprise us. did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? where do the yellows and oranges come from? to answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. leaves are natures food factories. plants take water from the ground through their roots. they take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose(葡萄糖). oxygen is a gas in the air that we need to breathe. glucose is a kind of sugar. plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. the way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素)helps make photosynthesis happen. chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. as summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. this is how the trees know to begin getting ready for winter. during winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. the trees will rest, and live on the food they stored during summer. they begin to shut down their food-making factories. the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. as the bright green dies away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. we just cant see them in summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll. the bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. in some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves to turn this glucose into a red color. the brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves. 36. the writer asked some questions in the beginning in order to_. a. persuade readers to believe something b. offer something to think over c. get the readers excited d. introduce the topic of the passage 37. which of the following is true about photosynthesis? a. oxygen and water are produced by plants. b. glucose provides energy and food for plants to grow. c. sunlight is turned into sugar as plants food. d. glucose produces chlorophyll that plants need. 38. leaves are green in summer because_. a. there are no other colors in the leaves except green b. sunlight turns water and carbon dioxide into a green colorc. green chlorophyll offers a green color for leaves d. glucose gives leaves their green color 39. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. trees dont change colors with seasons. b. trees can still perform photosynthesis well in winter. c. trees dont need food in winterd. trees have colors like yellow and orange even in summer. 40. what can be the best title of the passage?a. why do leaves change color in fall? b. chlorophyll and the fall leaf colors c. we love the beautiful fall leaf colors d. how do trees food factories work? din england three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. they studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. about five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. they prepared to get on. suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. someone shouted insulting words about the foreigners. the bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. the three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. no one had told them about the british custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus. learning the language of a country isnt enough. if you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. a visitor to india would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. the left hand should be used for washing yourself. also in india, you might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and consider that he is disagreeing. but in many parts of india shaking ones head means expressing agreement. nodding your head when offered a drink in bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. in that country you shake your head to express “yes” a nod means “no”. in europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting, talking to someone, even at an important meeting. doing this when meeting an important person in thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). it is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. also when in thailand avoid touching the head of an adult its just not done. attitudes to women vary a lot around the world. in japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home. knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节). 41. the three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because _. a. they didnt know the english language b. the bus conductor told them to jump the queue c. they didnt know the custom of lining up for a bus d. they thought they were not respected 42. whats the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in para. 1? a. generous b. entertaining c. misunderstanding d. rude 43. which of the following statements is true according to this passage? a. in europe, using the left hand is considered less respected. b. in japan, it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult. c. in thailand, youd better cross your legs when sitting or talking. d. in india, the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others. 44. the underlined sentence “nodding your head when offered a drink in bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty” means in bulgaria _. a. you probably refuse to drink when you nod your headb. youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head c. you are probably thirsty if you
