Using mobile phones has become common in high schools, and teachers are finding it difficult to stop students from doing so. Lots of kids are getting mobile phones even before they reach their teens. Should schools have their mobile phone bans（禁令）?
Some people agree with this idea. “It’s really a bad influence if kids are sending messages to each other in class or playing games on their mobile phones,” says Richard Tomko, a teacher of Elmwood Park High School. “The use of mobile phones is a “disruption” to learning, especially in class. Most students can’t study carefully in class with them.”
However, many people think students should be allowed to use mobile phones as long as they shut them off during the day. “They should be allowed to have the phone on them. If there is an emergency（紧急情况）, they can get the message at once and leave quickly. I hope my students could get in touch with me at any time,” a head teacher says.
Marcia, a student of Mahwah High School, where mobile phone can’t be used, says, “The bans are unfair. What if an emergency happens and someone calls me?” （ ）1 The teachers think it is _____ to keep students from using mobile phones. A hard B easy C impossible D strange （ ）2 Richard Tomko’s words tell us that ____ A he doesn’t use mobile phones B he agrees on mobile phone bans C he is against mobile phone bans
D he is a student of Elmwood Park High School
（ ）3 What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “disruption”? A 补充 B 激励 C 扰乱 D 消沉
（ ）4 The head teacher thinks students should use mobile phones because _____
A emergency may happen
B students can play games to relax
C students can send messages to each other D mobile phones can make students confident （ ）5 What does the passage mainly discuss? A How to deal with an emergency? B How to choose a good mobile phone? C How many students have mobile phones? D Should students use mobile phones at school?
On very cold winter days, a group of Japanese children travelled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived. After setting up（搭起）a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood, wild fruit and fresh water. Then they made a fire to do some cooking . They were not homeless children or modern Bobinson. They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special “hardship（苦难的）camp”.
Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children’s spirit of bearing（忍受）hardship. Such places as thick forests and far-off mountains are often chosen as camp places.
The Japanese education circles（教育界）usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering hardships. Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy（民族经济的快速增长）and improvement in the people’s living conditions（生活条件）. The experts（专家）think that such hardship camps can help children learn to live and develop in the struggle（斗争）against nature in modern society.
It’s said that such hardship camps are warmly accepted by both Japanese school children and their parents.

This line describes the way a person lives his or her life. A person who has a deep life line is energetic. If a person’s life line is not deep, he or she is just thinking and talking about things without

The head line（智慧线）is below the heart line and above the life line. It describes how a person thinks. A person with a long head line thinks about things very carefully. If a person’s head line is short, he or she is confident and good at making decisions quickly. A person with a deep head line is often clever and talkative. If a person’s head line is not deep, he or she is often untidy, but very creative. True or false

Almost all people like flowers. Some people like flowers because of their smells, shapes, colors and so on. Others like flowers because they think different flowers mean different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean “love” and sunflowers mean “loyalty(忠诚)”。So people in more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers which say something about their countries’ spirit. In 1994, China talked about choosing a national flower. Some people liked the peony(牡丹)but others liked the plum blossom(梅花). They couldn’t agree with each other. So it have not been decided yet.
People like to buy different flowers in different seasons. Where do all the beautiful flowers in shops come from? They may come from far away, so their price is higher.
a. Farmers grow flowers in their fields
b. Planes or trains or buses take the flowers to different places
c. Flower shopkeepers buy flowers from the flower markets. They look at the flowers
and throw away the broken or bad ones. They cut the flowers to make them more beautiful.
d. You go to buy the flowers in the shops. When you buy a flower, you’re paying lots of
people: the farmer, the driver of the plane or train or bus, the seller in the flower market and the flower shopkeeper.
So you’d better keep your flowers from far away for a long time. But how? Why not dry
