The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The worlds largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering(提供) food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood.

A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too muchand nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.And talking isnt even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22 of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phones screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever beforeUsing a mobile phone while driving puts others lives at risk. No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when youre in troubleBut there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own. （1）The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A . phone usersB . mobile phonesC . driversD . ears（2）According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phoneA . 12B . 13C . 14D . 15（3）According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?DangerousMore dangerousMost dangerousA . drinkingtalking on phonetextingB . textingtalking on phonedrinkingC . talking on phonedrinkingtextingD . drinkingtextingtalking on phone（4）Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?A . It will take longer to send text messages.B . People will want to talk on their phones more often.C . There will be more things for people to do with their phones.D . People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.（5）According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?A . They should be put into prison (监狱).B .

There has been much debate over whether air cleaners should be used in Chinas schools. Some parents have donated cleaners to their childrens classrooms, while others raise money together to make the purchase(购买). “Our school bought air cleaners last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that,” said one parent.However, the idea of installing air cleaners for all the classes has been refused by some schools. Liu Liangcheng, vice-principal of Beijings Taipinglu Primary School, says installing air cleaners bought by parents may lead to problems. “We have refused air cleaners bought by parents before, as there are clear and strict rules against educational fees. We cant just break the rules here. And without standard guidance (指示) from local authorities(权威部门), it is hard to decide on the brand of the cleaner, installation and even safety of the device(设备).”Moreover, experts say air cleaners can cause other health problems. Deng Gaofeng who works for the China Academy of Building Research says. “ In the classroom, if we keep windows and doors closed, the concentrations (浓度) of CO2 will double from 1,000 PPM to some 2,000 PPM. According to national safety standards, the highest level should not be more than 1,500.” In addition, experts say air cleaners on the market are mostly designed for homes or offices. Evaluation(评估) is needed to know whether they are suitable in classrooms.It seems whether air cleaners should enter Chinas schools is an ongoing question. It still requires
