IS IT TIME TO GET MP3?
Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC (personal computer) if they’re in the MP3 format.
What is it?
MP3 compresses music into small computer friendly files. You access MP3 music several ways : Music can be downloaded from websites that have converted vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can prerecord CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer’s speakers, “burn” it onto b lank CDs or exchange MP3 files with friends using E-mail.
How much?
Software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free. It comes preinstalled on most new computers or can be downloaded from many websites, including MP3. com. Some MP3 sites are fre e. Just type “MP3 sites” into any search engine. The popular MP3 players start at around $50and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.
Advantages
MP3 turns your home PC into a tape recorder. Tiny MP3 players are the size of a card, making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.
Disadvantages
You may find that music at many sites is limited. And some only allow you to listen rather than download offerings. Others let you download music that then can’t b e copied to MP3 players. And a growing number of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.
21. How can you get MP3 music?

B. By taking your own music or songs with you

The word “day”has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, w e are using“day”to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth.
At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’cloc k in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the NorthernHemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nigh ts. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the othersix
months the North Pole is tilted away nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights.Summer is the season of long days.
( )25. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and
over by ______ of the earth.
A. the pushing
B. the pulling
C. the spinning
D. the passing

Jiang Nan, a full-time mother in Beijing, keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home, carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries. "Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns, but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations," she explained.
Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production, sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米), and retailers (零售商) aren’t allowed to
provide free plastic bags to customers, no matter how thick they are.
Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping. "A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao, but it's more about how bad they are for the environment," Jiang said.
The plastic ban is for the most part carried out in big cities, and has been obviously effective in reducing white waste. On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing, an NGO environmental organization, shows during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone, saving more than 1.2 million tons of petrol.
However, enforcement (实施) shows rather less muscle in smaller cities, towns and countryside. In a remote town like Lichuan, the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities. Street vendors (街头小贩) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags. Seeing no significance in the issue, local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag trade in the market.
There are still those who don't have an interest in living green. Cui Lin, another Beijinger, often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping, and has to buy plastic bags. "Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner, and I don't mind paying a couple more jiao," he shrugged.
Mrs Yu, a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County, Jiangxi Province, recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s, Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market. "Plastic bags are more convenient," she comments, and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags, paid or free. This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day.
32. In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Jiang Nan's case to __________.
A. introduce a topic
B. tell a story
C. describe a person
D. offer an argument
33. How did Jiang Nan get her cloth bags?
A. She bought them at a low price.
B. She borrowed them from her relatives.
C. She got them for free.
D. She made them herself.
34. Which is NOT the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping?
A. Cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry.
B. People's awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough.
C. People don't mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags.
D. Street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them.
35. What does the underlined phrase “cling to” in the last paragraph mean?
A. stop using
B. continue to use
C. stay close to
D. hold tightly

Health is far more important than wealth. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our life. On the contrary, poor health leads to nothing.How can we keep healthy. Here is some advice.
Firstly, it is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins, and we have to keep a balanced diet. So we should avoid food with lots of sugar and fat, which is rich in sugar and fat.
Secondly, we'd better exercise every day to make our bodies strong. Besides, we have to avoid too much work pressure.
Finally, we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health, such as drinking and smoking.
In conclusion, if we stick to the advice given above, we will lead a healthy life.。
