Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15℃to 26℃). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés. Beautiful mountains are around the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. So Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center.HONG KONG, CHINA This lively city—once a small fishing village—is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small city has a large population(人口). nearly seven million people live in Hong Kong! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提及) about San Jose?A. The weather.B. The mountains.C. The air.D. The traffic.2. What makes Hong Kong the world's best according to this passage?A. The lively city and the wonderful dishes.B. The beautiful mountains and the lively city.C.

San Jose has more natural sights than Hong Kong doesC. the weather in both cities is fineD. Hong Kong is the more popular city of the two.BAlmost all animals need to sleep to stay healthy. But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg.

Pirates' hammocks(吊床)are often hung over barrels(桶)of stored food! "That's the perfect place for mice to live. If you became a pirate, you could wake up each morning sharing your bed with a few friendly mice. Going to the toilet is not that easy, either! Over the side of the ship is the only place for this. Bad weather makes this really tricky, even for the most experienced sailor.It's not all easy sailing on a pirate ship. Some of the time you will have to fight with other large, hairy pirates with long swords(剑), huge guns.

Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal —a dog! These words show the friendship (友谊) between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the "eyes" for a blind person (盲人)or "ears" for a deaf(耳聋)person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for "visits".Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it.

"We can do without railways, "people say ﹣as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly ________ with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they're cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn't stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does. Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can't fly in because we don't have enough money to buy the oil.( )27.

With the development of the Internet, Internet friendship has also become very popular. Online friends are those people who have known each other through the Internet. Making Internet friends is the same as making pen friends. Many famous websites provide very warm Internet friendship. One can find many people on these websites and they share the same interests. It is difficult to make friends with someone you can't see or feel. That is the main problem of Internet friendship. A virtual(虚拟的)friendship would not last forever without seeing each other, but it is an advantage for some people because they are afraid to speak in public.On the other hand, the chances of cheating (欺骗) are very high in an Internet friendship. Some people make friends on the Internet with wrong ideas. So while making friends over the Internet, one has to be very careful. Here is some advice for you.. Don't give personal information, such as your telephone number, address, location, school nameas well as your parents' information to strangers on the Internet.• Do not exchange personal photos of you or any family member with people you meet over the Internet.• Do not go to meet a person you have just met over the Internet. You'd better ask older or other experienced people for help if you want to go to meet an Internet friend.• Do not accept someone's request if you feel he or she is not honest.46.
