When we are asked whether boys and girls can associate with each other , most of us will say , “ Yes , of course . Why not? ”If we want to deal with the association between boys and girls properly , here are some “ dos and donts ” for you to follow .1. Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls . It is very natural for boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex . Generally speaking, we should broaden the circle of the association. We should make as many friends as possible . We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two. We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.2. Contact students of the other sex warmly, generously and sincerely. Dont be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex. In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends, as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word. If you are too shy a person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.3. Dont fall into the ditch（泥潭）of early love . The boys and girls at adolescence（青春期）are rich in feeling and full of imagination . They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love. Early love is a green apple that cant be eaten. An apple wont taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Do keep out of early love.41. The main idea of the passage is to_.A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. say contact does good not only to boys but also to girlsD. teach boys how to talk with girls42. The underlined word “ broaden ”in the passage means “_ . ”A. close down B. make small C. make broad D. make known43. We should contact the students of the other sex in the following ways EXCEPT _.A. with a good state of mind B. in public C. warmly and generously D. in secret44. A person at adolescence is NOT _.A. rich in feelings B. old enough to fall in loveC. full of imagination D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love.BOnce home to the worlds largest trading port, East London is a lovely and cultural place to visit.

Calgary Transport MuseumCEvery year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.Predictions are improving. “Were gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, ” Klotzbach says.First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor（水蒸气）cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane.Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October. 285w49.According to the passage, hurricanes usually _.A. form off the coast of Africa and America B. travel at 40 miles per hour and get its nameC. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the seaD. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn50.The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “_”.A. begins to move B. gets lost C. becomes hot D. changes into gas51.Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?a.

Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products would be pleased to away with the labels entirely.However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.The reason for the label is that most buyers today arent expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.53.The law requires that furs carry a _。Aclean label B.clear label C.white label D.secret label54.This article mainly refers to _.A. making furs and clothes B. protecting buyers with lawC. keeping the buyer informed D. businessmen and sellers55.The author doesnt agree that _.A. buyers buy the clothes without labels B. clothing stores sell cheap dressesC. all the products have labels D. labels are not true56.Which of the following is true?A. T-shirt seldom carries a label B. A fur coat with a high price often carries a false labelC. A label only says what material the product is made ofD. Not all buyers know the materials they are buyingDOnly a hundred years ago, people seldom travelled far out of their birth place. Books were very expensive and there were few national newspapers and no radio or television. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. Only a very small quantity of reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read or write. For this reason, native dialects (方言) grew up and people spoke the way their parents and grandparents spoke. A woman from Cornwall who travelled just as far as London would find herself in a place where people spoke what was almost a different language.Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You are used to owning books and having them around, to reading magazines and newspapers and to a choice of national television and radio programmes. You, and everyone around you, are used to travelling not just in the British islands but all of the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances have been made shorter. It might have taken that Cornwall woman three days to travel to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four by train and less than six by road.The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialects are dying out. Writing, printing and broadcasting have sped up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called standard English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.57.From the information given in the passage we know that a century ago _.A. people wouldnt like to leave their birth placeB. there were neither books nor newspapers C. not many people could read and writeD. people learned to read and write from their parents and grandparents58.If a woman who lived in Cornwall a hundred years ago went to London, she would find _.A. London was far from her birth place B. London was a strange cityC. London people used a very difficult languageD. she could hardly understand what London people spoke59.Things have changed s
