Twelve years ago, a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco, California, visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo. In one area of the rainforest, he watched as an orangutan moved through the trees. It was a sight to remember, in a place to remember. But weeks later, back home, Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been cut down for their wood in the area he visited.
That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, 1999, he used his research for the book to create a Web site. His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject widened.

The popularity of Mongabay.com attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay

for its operations. Mongabay has grown and led to other sites. For example, there is a site for children, kids.mongabay.com. Another one, WildMadagascar.org, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.
To keep his website going, he travels around the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving equipment. He often calls on experts for information. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top experts on lemurs(狐猴).

Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your

life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place --- to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
25. In the passage, the teacher mainly talks about _____.
A. how to get along well with teachers
B. the importance of a good relation with teachers
C. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
26. “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _____.
A. learning becomes easier for you at once B. you find it hard to learni
C. there’ll be more problems with learning D. there’ll be no problems with learning.
27. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?
A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
- 12 -
C. You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble.
D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
C
I used to be a doctor in the children’s department of a hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned by medicine for older family members. The children didn’t know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily open the bottle that we now use in China.
Some days ago I talked about medicines with an American. He showed me a sort of plastic bottle. The design was quite simple and I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle licks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily.
I’m certain that the expense of making such tops would be very small. As a doctor, I’d love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful(感激的).
Sincerely yours, Li Hua
28. From the letter one can conclude that .
A. some children like to take adults’medicine
B. some adults medicines cause danger to children

C. produce this kind of plastic bottle D. turn to Americans for advice

Five steps to better handwriting
Some kids love handwriting , but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36 Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this --- hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指)and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
- 12 -
Lower the pressure (压力)
39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
40
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures, So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A Play games
B Ask for more advice
C So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.
D You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.
E Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

Recently, we have had a discussion about whether students of senior 2 should take physical exercise. As we know, every coin has two sides.55% of the students think they should take all exercises every day, such as doing morning exercises, playing table tennis, and playing basketball, but not spend too much time on them. As a proverb says, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” Exercise builds up their body and reduces lots of diseases. Sports let them have a good rest so that their study will be effective. On the other hand, 45% of the students believe taking exercise is a waste of time and tiring. After taking exercise, they are too excited for a long time to pay attention to their lessons. And it’s possible to be hurt in sports. In my opinion, I prefer to take proper exercises in my spare time.
