It tastes good. And reading is the ho bby I like best. , however, can be dangerous. When you are lo st in a book, you stop paying attention to what’s going on arou nd you. It’s a wonderful feeling, but it sometimes can be hazar dous. []When I was young, one day, I was eating spaghetti with meat balls, and I was reading an interesting book. At the time, my f amily had a pet bird named Luke. He was free to fly around in side the house. And Luke enjoyed “talking” to people.As I was reading and eating, Luke was “talking” to me, but I w as lost in my book. So Luke decided to get closer. He suddenl y landed on top of my spaghetti! I shooed him off my food. This wouldn’t have been so bad except for one thing: When Luke had landed on my plate, he had grabbed(抓) my spaghetti with his feet. So when Luke took off again, the spaghetti went flying everywhere. It landed on my shirt. It hit me in the face. Red sauce splattered(溅) up the wall and onto the ceiling. See how dangerous reading can be. If you really like to read while you eat, you must keep one eye on your food. But you’d better eat up your food and then read your book. Why? If you find a novel at the library with red spots on two pages, you’ll k now that I’ve read that book.4. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. excitingB. strangeC. dangerousD. special5. What did Luke do when the author was reading and eating ?A. It made a mess in the room.B. It learned to talk to the author.C. It took away the author’s book.D. It ate all the spaghetti with meatballs.6. What does the author advise readers to do?A. Keep pets in the house all the time.B. Take good care of pets when you eat.C. Enjoy your book after finishing your eating.D. Spend more time reading books in the library.7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?A. To introduce a delicious food.B. To tell an interesting experience.C. To suggest ways to choose books.D. To show reading is a wonderful thing.CBeing an astronaut(宇航员) sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they can float(漂浮) in zero gravity. However, there are also plenty of things th at astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environmen t, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their s adness show— because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But without grav ity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes. This means tha t when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go— the y just stick to your eyes which can cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears usually bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s no t the case in space. The space environment dries out astrona uts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. They can also rub(擦) his eyes t o wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait—when the tears get big enough they simply break free of the e ye and float around.There are lots of small things that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a proble m in a totally different environment, like space. There, astrona uts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drin k in normal ways. They can’t even burp(打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say,“Gravity,you’re the best.”8. What bad effect do tears have on astronauts?A. They cause physical pain.B. They bring comfort to them.C. They help them get better sight.D. They float around and cause trouble.9. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A. Close their eyes.B. Wait till tears flow down.C. Let the tears dry up.D. Wait till the tears get big enough.10. What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in s pace.B. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C. The environment in space is totally different.D. Why burping is impossible in space.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What can you do in space?B. Better life with gravity.C. In the sky, you can’t cry.D. No gravity, no tears.DA group of homeless children in the Indian capital of publis h a newspaper telling about their own lives. It is called Balakn ama, which means “children’s voice”. It is written and edited (编辑) by children up to 19 years old. About 10, 000 people read it.A homeless girl named Shanno helps edit the paper. She said,” When reports arrive and the team sits down to choose th e story, lots of fights break out. They argue, ‘This story is mor e important than that one.’ So there’s a lot of discussion befor e the final selection(挑选) goes to print.”The newspaper has 70 reporters in several states and 14 in the capital. All of the reporters, editors and managers are ho meless children. Jyoti Kumari is one of the reporters. “I used t o beg. Then I learned about Balaknama and began to work fo r it.

The newspaper is published every month. It has eight page s. In 2002, when it began operations, the newspaper was publ ished four times a year. It has changed the lives of many child ren who publish it, and hopes to improve the lives of thousand s of others.Some organizations support the newspaper. Sanjay Gupta, a media reporter, leads a group that helps the children and gi ves money to the newspaper.The newspaper only costs about three cents. That is less th an the price of a small cup of tea in . But the small cost gives t he children hope that they will someday have a home and a jo b.12.
