I wonder if there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow
in the sky. It is beautiful. There is a story, saying that whenever you
see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the
ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true.
Neither you could find gold, nor would you ever find its end. No matter
how far you run, it always seems far away.
A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect(结果) of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see.
It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow(弓).
That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see rainbows only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds. Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colours is always red, next comes orange, then green, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.
( )1.Children like rainbows because_________.
A.they are beautiful
B.they are like bows
C.they can find a lot of gold at the end of a rainbow
D.they are good to crops
( )2.We can not feel_______with our hands.
A.gold
B.a flower
C.a rainbow
D.a raindrop
( )3.We can see a rainbow________.
A.when it is raining heavily
B.when it is snowing
C.in a clear sky
D.When it becomes fine shortly after raining. ( )4.Which of the follow is NOT right?
A. A rainbow is always far away from us.
B. A rainbow is the effect of light shining on raindrops.
C. A rainbow is created by scientists.
D. A rainbow is one of the wonders of nature.
( )5.The first color of a rainbow is always_______.
A.yellow
B.red
C.green
D.blue
B
Farmers grow plants and animals on their farms. Is it also possible to have a farm in the sea? People in many countries grow freshwater fish from eggs. They move the small fish into lakes and rivers. The fish live and grow there. People go fishing in these lakes and rivers. They enjoy catching fish.. Fish is also good food.
Now Japan grows salt water fish. Most of them are yellow tail fish. The workers grow the fish from eggs. Every time they give food to the fish, they play tapes of music. The fish learn that the music means food.
When the fish grow a little gagger, the Japanese put them in the sea near the land. The fish find some of their own food. The workers also give food to them while they play the same music as usual. Then fish swin there to find the food. In a few months the fish are large. The Japanese play the same music, and they can easily catch these fish in the sea.
( )6.Where do fish come from when they are born?
A. From the farm
B.From egges
C.From lakes and rivers. ( )7.Where must fresh water fish live and grow?

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid(液体)food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native(本土的) people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.
( )11.According to the passage, making noises when you have liquid food isn’t bad manners in________.
A. China
B.Japan
C.Britain
D.Mongolia
( )12.________ is bad manners in Britain.
A.Eating food without making noises
B.Puttind liquid food in the bowl
C.Having soup directly with a bowl

C.Chinese people never make noises at table
D.few Arabs eat with left hands
( )14.”Do in Rome as the Romans do” means________.
A.Do as the native people do
B.Do as you do at home
C.Ask the native People to do it
D.Watch the native people doing it
( )15.The passage mainly(主要) tells us ________.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for outdoor activities. If you like to go hiking, you must visit Zijin Mountains in the eastern part of Nanjing. Walking and climbing are fun, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the country parks. But it is important to plan each of your activities very carefully.
Think of safety first. You should always take a first-aid box whenever you go hiking.
Then you had better take something with you, such as food and drinks, a tent, sleeping bags, a map and so on.
You should never hike alone. When you are in a group, you should support and help each other. Hiking is a good chance for young people to learn team spirit.
You might meet snakes when you hike so you should always wear long trousers. If you see a snake, you should not move, keep quiet and wait for it to go away. If you or somebody else has been bitten by a poisonous snake, you should not move the victim. You should tie a piece of cloth round the bite to stop the poison from spreading to other parts of the body. Then you should send for help as soon as possible.。
