Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“Thats just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears.

It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power(电力) for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(工厂) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water. Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer. Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die. （1）Lake Victoria is _.A . an important lake in AfricaB . the largest lake in the worldC . the source of water, food and power for AmericaD . the only source for the Nile River（2）What does “It is shrinking” most probably mean?A . It is becoming larger.B . It is becoming more beautiful.C . It is becoming smaller.D . It is becoming more useful.（3）The water level of Lake Victoria is now _.A . 2.5 metersB . 11.9 metersC . 14.4 metersD . 9.4 meters（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A . Rain water is the only source for the lake.B . There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.C . The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.D . The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000.（5）According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?A . People must build more power plants.B . More sources of water must be found.C . Every country should offer some money to Africa.D . All the people living in the area should move to another place.5. （10分）阅读理解We walked all afternoon with Infadoos and Scragga. Their men walked about a hundred metres ahead of us.“When did your people, the Kukuana, come to this place?”“They came from the north many thousands of moons ago,” Infadoos explained. “When they reached the mountains, they could go no farther. They stayed here where the land is good and there is water.”“Do you live here in peace?” I asked.“There have been two wars. Once an army came down from the north, but we killed most of them. Soon after that, we fought among ourselves.” He said, “The king at that time had two sonstwins. When he died, both young men wanted to be king. One of the twins, Twala, killed the other and became king.”“Did the dead man have a wife and children?” I asked. I knew that if he did, the fighting could start again one day.“Yes. He had a wife, Imotu, and a son, Ignosi. They ran away.” He pointed to a village a short way ahead. “That is the village where Imotu and Ignosi first hid,” he said. “We shall stay there tonight.”As soon as we were within a mile or so of the village, an army of men came out. As we passed them, they shouted a welcome.Their women were in the village. They stopped whatever they were doing to watch us pass by, but they were not rude.

Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be Yes. Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we cant live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.A rich, powerful organization(组织) in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道).This is because they have made a survey(调查) and found that only 60% of the worlds population have been able to get information on the Internet.
