Through many studies, scientists show us that the more you use your brains, the better it will be, and the cleverer you will become.Of course, if you want to keep your mind clear and active, you must take a proper rest and study properly. To the teenagers, using their brains in the morning is good for their health. There are many ways to rest. One is a peaceful rest. Sleep is a peaceful rest. Ano ther is an active rest. For example, take a walk outdoors, do more exercises every day. To cha nge the way of the brains ' activities is also a good way to rest.In everyday life, to eat some eggs, meat, fresh vegetables and fruit （水果）is also good for the brains.Wish you a wise man and a happy life.56.

Keep your mind clearBAmerica ns have always bee n ambivale nt （有矛盾心理的）in their attitudes toward educatio n. On the one hand public education was seen as necessary. On the other hand, America was always a country that offered financial （金融的）opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from the poor to the rich, schooling — beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic—was an unnecessary detour （弯路）.Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success without much education, but the number of situations in which this is b ecoming smaller. In today ' s more（复杂的x）（world, the opportunities for financial success have much to do with the need for education, especially higher education.Our society is rapidly becoming one whose chief product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more specialized （专门的） education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer andfewer subjects.In the future, this is likely to continue. Tomorrow ' s world will be even more complex than today ' sorwld, and, to manage this complexity, even more specialized education will be needed.61. The topic of essay is __ .A. educationB. Americans ' attitudesC. American educationD. higher education62. The best title for this selection is __ .A. The Future of the American Educational SystemB. The History of American EducationC.

Americans have different attitudes toward education.B. Americans without much education may become rich today.C. Specialized education is a necessity in the future.D. People with less education will be more successful in the future.CThere are many things we can do in our daily life to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas sent out. Probably the most important is to share what you have learned with your family and friends. Use the family car less. Walk or cycle whenever possible. Take a bus. Try ride sharing. Use less energy in the house by turning down the heat when you are away or sleeping and turning off li ghts and electrical equipment you aren ' t using.If your family needs a car, make sure to buy a fuel-efficient one. An average car sends out nearly 60 tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime, compared to between 22 and 30 tons from a fuel-efficient car.Encourage your family to use the car more efficiently （有效地）: for example, check the air in the tires. Under in flatted tires can increase fuel use by 8%. Turn the car off instead of letting it run when it is stopped. Idling uses more gas and sets free carbon dioxide into the air,Reuse, recycle and compost （把合成肥料）your waste. It takes much less energy to reuse or recycle a product than to make a new one. Correctly composting your food and yard waste removes the methane （沼气） that they would cause at the landfill site. Buying less is always the best.Plant trees. Trees take in carbon dioxide, reduce pollution, provide shade, and look great.65. Which of the following does the writer suggest that we should not do?A. Share cars with other people if possible.B. Make sure our car tires are well inflated.C. Compost our home waste at the landfill site.D. Buy less products even if we can afford.66.

Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Interact today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react （反应） to the ideas of others.A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is hap- pening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, . He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca ' s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called Weblog Handbook ” . It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms Blood says Rebecca ' s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes aboutnaythingand everything —politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts68.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A. Politicians don ' t use blogs at all.B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs.C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.D. Dave Winer closed his “ ” because of money shortage.71. The reason why Rebecca ' s Pocket is still going strong is that _________ .A. it was created by a womanB. it is about the history of blogsC. it provides useful in formati on and adviceD. it has editi ons in at least four differe nt Ian guagesEThe followi ng con versati on is betwee n Susa n Russell-Rob inson from the US Geological （地质学的）Survey and Barbara Reyn olds from USA Today .Q: Why, after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt （喷发）in1991 ?A： Volcanoes （火山）each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years, but a volca no in Hawaii seems to erupt every year, and some of the Alaska n volca noes might erupt every 10 or 20 years.Q: So nothing caused it?A: There ' s nothing out of the ordin ary. If you were to take an ordin arycale ndar year, 50 to 75 or 80 volca noes erupt around the world every year. There are 20 to 30 volca noes every month that show sig ns of un rest. That might be a full-blow n eruptio n or a whole host of activities like that.Q: What is “ the ring of fire ” ?A: If you look at where active volca noes are placed around the world, there are somewhere betwee n 500 and 600 of them. There is what appears to be almost a n ecklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean. It makes a ring where 60% of the world ' s volcanoes lie.Q: Why so ma ny there?A: That ' s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces. When they move, one might ride up over the other one. In this case , the Pacific Ocean goes under the continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma （熔岩）at depth and then you have volca noes in the same ring .72. What kind of writing do you think this passage is?A. A text take n from a geography book.B. An in terview published in the press.C. A con versati on carried out in a filmD. An oral test recorded as an example.73. Which of the follow ing stateme nts can correctly expla in why we have so many volca noes around the Pacific Ocean?A. The moveme nt of the surface of the earth makes it possible.B. The Pacific Ocea n produces magma and presses it everywhere.C. The ocea ns and the con ti nents are separated from each other.D. The earth ' s surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part.74. Barbara Reyno Ids ' main purpose here is _______ .A. to show how dan gerous volca noes are to the worldB. to lear n what sig ns a volca no gives us before its eruptio nC. to warn the world of the existe nee of “ the ring of fire ”D. to in troduce some gen eral idea of volca noes to the public75.
