Every single day, about 4,000 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. Most junior school students don’t smoke－only about 1 in 10 does. Most senior school students don’t smoke either －about 1 in 4 does.But why do those who smoke ever begin? There’s more than just one simple answer. Some kids may startsmoking just because they’re curious. Others may like the idea of doing something that grown-ups don’t want them to do. Still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult.Luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. Maybe that’s because more and more people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease. Sometimes kids don’t worry about what future illness they might get.Nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. It can also make it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. The longer they smoke, the worse the damage becomes.The human body is smart, and it knows when it’s being poisoned. When kids try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. This is their lungs’ way of trying to protect them. Also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs or课时训练2Section ⅢLearning about Language & Using LanguageⅠ.品句填词1．The origins of the ________(宇宙)are still a mystery.2．The May 4th ________(运动) of 1919 is very important in the history of China.3．Our teacher tells us that exercise ________(有助于)to good health.4．Several ________(热情的) young teachers have just started working at the school.5．She’s got a really ________(积极的)attitude to life.6．When her husband left home she felt ________(抛弃)and useless.Ⅱ.选词填空reject；be strict with；enthusiastic；make sense of；make sense；cautious1．I can’t ____________________this poem，but perhaps I will if I read it again.2．Although I ____________________ by the university, I didn’t lose heart.3．As she ____________ very __________________ her children, they developed a good studying habit.4．Only after finishing reading the passage can you find it ____________________.5．With so many people watching him, Jim was very ________________.6.

time.Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work，create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past，or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get“walking”abilities.“Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time，”said Jonathan Hurst，a professor at OSU.“What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to ing little energy，they can move easily over hard areas，and enjoy balance from muscles(肌肉)．They have different ways to deal with forces，such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地)，like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies，the OSU researchers proved that these two_abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的)．Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot，the more it’s able to do one of these tasks，the less able it is to do the other.Presently，robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance，but uses far less energy，and is closer to the abilities of animals.“So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to build robots with good movement ability，”Hurst said.“Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous si tuations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology.”1．The robots being studied by researchers at OSU________.A．are successful nowB．use little energyC．do better than beforeD．can run faster than humans2．Which of the following have researchers been studying all the time?A．The robots’ movement.B．The robots’ weight.C．The robots’ sizes.D．The robots’ walking speed.3．The underlined words“two abilities”in Para.4 refer to________.A．walking and runningB．walking and holdingC．moving and using little energyD．moving and balancing4．According to Jonathan Hurst，we know that robots with good movement ability________. A．can be used in medical scienceB．are only used in highly dangerous situationsC．will hardly be created in the futureD．will have a bad influence on man5．Which section of a newspaper is this passage probably taken from?A．Business.B．Science.C．Environment.

It is the longest river in the world and flows about 6,677 km through Eastern Africa from its most remote sources in Burundi to a delta on theMediterranean Sea in Northeast Egypt. The main headstreams, the Blue Nile and the White Nile, join at Khartoum in Sudan to form the Nile proper. The river has been used for irrigation in Egypt since at least 4000 B. C．，a function now regulated largely by the Aswan High Dam.The source of the Nile and its life－giving flood were a mystery to the people of the world for centuries. First, Ptolemy held that the source was the “Mountain of the Moon”，and the search for the origin of the Nile attracted much attention of the people in the 18th and 19th centuries.Then James Bruce, the Scottish explorer, went to look for the source and identified Lake Jana as the source of the Blue Nile in 1770. And later, John Spike, the British explorer, went to search for the source of another branch of the Nile. He is credited with the identification of Lake Victoria and Ripon Falls as the source of the White Nile.Now the people along the Nile love it so much that they are trying all their best to protect it while they make good use of it for agriculture irrigation, industry and their daily life.课时训练4Section ⅢLearning about Language & Using LanguageⅠ.品句填词1．We were very busy so there was no time to go

German battleship Bismarck，the most powerful warship in the world，was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean.Her task：to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.The British had feared such a task.No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower.The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns.She could move at 30 nautical miles(海里)an hour.She was believed to be unsinkable.However，the British had to sink her.They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck.On May 24，the Hood found the Bismarck.It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see.His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies，but to stay away from a fight with British warships.The battle didn’t last long.The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷)hit the Hood，which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.But in the fight，the Bismarck was slightly damaged.Her commander decided to run for repairs to France，which had at that time been taken by the Germans.The British force followed her.However，because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog，they lost sight of her.For two days，every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck，but with no success.Finally，she was sighted by a plane from Ireland.Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her，the British fired at her from the air.The Bismarck was hit.On the morning of May 27，the last battle was fought.Four British ships fired on the Bismarck，and she was finally sunk.1．The Bismarck sailed into the Atlantic Ocean ________.A．to sink the HoodB．to gain control of FranceC．to cut off American supplies to BritainD．to stop British warships reaching
