A city without cars would be very strange,right? But Venice(威尼斯）is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy.It wasn't built on land,like Beijing or Shanghai,but on more than 110 islands.Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around.There are
117 water-ways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go.
People in Venice move from place to place by boat.They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than
1,500 years ago,and built homes there.
Water makes the city special,but it is also a big problem. Once,people used too much underground water.This made the city get lower little by little.Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters.
Another problem is the rising seawater.The temperature has risen over the years.This has made the ice of Arctic Ocean(北冰洋）melt(融化）.
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter.When a lot of water comes,more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily,I am one of them.I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away.As a result,no one knew who l was.I was very lonely,and afraid to make friends with anyone.

Then one day,my classmates talked happily with their friends,but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.At that moment,a boy entered the classroom.I didn't know who he wan.He passed me and then turned back.He looked at me and,without a word,smiled.
Suddenly,I felt the touch of something bright and friendly.h made me feel happy,lively and warm.
That smile changed my life.I started to talk with the other students and made friends.Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!

＂Find a job you love,and you'll never work a day in your life."Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does.She is the author of Be Happy at Work and other books about careers(职业). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees (雇员）in North America do not like their jobs,and she thinks that is terrible.She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied (满意）with their jobs find work that is good for them.Joanne says,"There are no happy jobs,only happy workers." She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics (特点).
First,happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs,and they look forward to the workday.Take Tony Hawk,for example. At age 14,he became a professional skateboarder.Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding-films and video games,but he still skates every day.He once said,"My youngest son's preschool class was recently asked what their dads do for work.
My son said,'I've never seen my dad do work.'"Tony agrees that his job doesn't look like work.He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.
Second,happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says,"I work with the coolest people in the world."She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica.Most of these people are scientists who are doing research.Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says,
＂There is no television here,no radio,so I get to know the scientists and what they're studying."Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.
Third,happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron's work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers.She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid,which shows movies in refugee (难民）camps around the world.
Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps.For one thing,entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety.For example,in one camp,thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water.Caroline knows that she is helping other people,and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.
Tony Hawk,Sally Ayote,and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work.Tony Hawk saye,"Find the thing you love.If you are doing what you love,there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous."Joanne Gordon would agree.She encourages people to find something they enjoy
doing,find people they like to work with,and find ways to help others.Then they can be proud of what they do,and they will probably be happy at work.

2.Joanne Gordon believes that
A.difficult jobs are terrible
B.there are no happy jobs, only happy workers
C.rich and famous people have much more happiness than workers
D.only about one third of the employees in North America like their jobs
3.Why did Tony Hawk's son say, “I've never seen my dad do work."?
A.Because Tony Hawk's job doesn't look like work.
B.Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.
C.Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating.
D.Because Tony Hawk always finds something else he enjoys doing.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin.Everyone was surprised to see him.

Imagine the situation. You are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain.You have no idea where you are.You passed the last house two hours ago.Then your car breaks down.It is night and it is cold.You
have no mobile phone.What do you do?Well,next time take a GPS with you.This invention may be able to help you.It is a device(装置）which uses satellites to find the user's position(位置）．It can find your position within 20 metres.A GPS cannot start your car,but at least you will know where you are.
GPS,which means Global Positioning System,is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone.We also find GPS devices in cars,planes, or boats.Some of these devices have electronic maps,so you know where you are.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System.The first part is the receiver.You can hold it in your hand,or have it fixed into your car, plane,ete.The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth.The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算）its position.The third part of the Aystem is a network of ground stations.
They are all over the world.They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Unit 6 When was it invented?
Perhaps the most famous clothing brand name(服装品牌名称）in the world is Levi's.Levi Strauss & Co.is the producer of blue denim jeans.Here's how it happened.
In the mid 1800s many people went to California to look for gold.A young German named Levi Strauss traveled to San Francisco to help his brother on business.He sold canvas(帆布）to the workers for tents.But the workers said they needed pants more,because their pants were easy to wear out.Instead of selling his canvas for tent-making, he turned it into pants. These kinds of pants were very popular with workers.He was very happy and named the kind of pants"denims".And in 1853 he founded Levi Strauss & Co.
Twenty years later the company began using a design with pockets. During the working,Strauss developed the process for putting metal rivets (铆钉）in the jeans for strength.
On May 20,1873,they received the U.S.Patent No.139,121 for the process and that date is now considered the official birthday of “blue jeans".

The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago.China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that.But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees.It was made from the hair-like parts of certain plants.
Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100.Scandinavia(斯堪的纳维亚）,which now makes a great deal of the world's paper, did not begin to make it until 1500.It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make the best paper from trees. After that, the forest countries of Sweden, Norway,Finland,and the United States became the largest paper producers. Today in Finland,which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.New paper-making machines are very big, and they make paper very fast. The biggest machines can make a piece of paper 300 meters long and 6 meters wide in one minute.

Unit 7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.
People can find jobs in many ways.Sometimes you can find a job easily,by walking into a local store and looking at its notice board(布告栏). Local stores often have areas for people to put small signs telling the services that they need or they can provide.Such services include looking after children or cleaning houses. Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet.For example,people around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy things, meet people or find a job.It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a university.For example,students at the University of Texas can go to the job center to get help.Many college students like this way better.
At times,some experts(专业人士）can also help people find a job. Susan Miller has her own company called California Job Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find a job by first helping them understand their strengths,goals and interests.Then she provides them with methods to help them find the right job.So with her help, many people have succeeded in finding a good job.
