Hello，this
is your gardening adviser.
Now，just as our
garden are at their most colourful, and most productive time, what do we do？We’ll
go off on holiday. What I suggest you do is this: invite a friend or neighbour
to help you. You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you
return, but first make sure
that he knows how to do it. What he should not do is throw water over the
leaves of the plants themselves, because if he does that, it will invite
diseases. Also for the same reason, ask him if he can possibly water in the
morning, rather than in the evening.
If you haven’t got a greenhouse, there is
one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away, and this is
how you do it. Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath. Yes, the
bath! Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are
all wet. Now put the flower pots（花盆）to
stand on the wet paper, go off on holiday, and they should be alive and well
when you return in two weeks’ time.
Thank you for
calling. Goodbye and good gardening!

Hawaii is a truly beautiful place. Most
people know Hawaii for its lovely beaches. However, Hawaii is also a land full
of legends(传奇). One of
the oldest legends tells of a special dance called the hula, which started here
around 300years ago.
One hula teacher tells the story of how the dance started. “The hula
started, as far as the legend tells it, when Hi’iaki and her good friend Hopoe
went down to the beach. And then, when they were there, they noticed the waves(波浪)…and they imitated the waves. And
then started to use their hands…like showing the waves.That is how the hula
started.”
However,not everyone has always liked the hula.In 1820,some religious(宗教的) people from Western countries
came to Hawaii.The visitors were shocked by the hula because the dancers were
not wearing many clothes.So they asked the local government to ban(制止) the dance.
After that,most Hawaiians were not allowed to perform the hula in public
for almost 60 years.But that did not mean the dancing stopping stoped.Many dances
still performed the hula in secret.The dance was always there.
Things have changed.At the moment,people of all ages want to study the
old culture.They want to learn how to dance the hula.As a result,more and more
people are attending halaus. Halaus are special schools that hula in the
traditional way.
Kumano is a hula teacher. For him, the dance is a way to bring the best
of old Hawaii culture to people today. Kumano says that the dance is not really
about the body.He feels that it is more about the mind.He explains this
feelings,”…the hula is more… not so much a physical thing,but more of a mental
thing.For new dances,the dancing
means very little,because for Hawaiians today,many of them don t speak the
Hawaiian language. So,what I try to do is to mind the real thing they see
34.Which of the following has the closest

often ride a bike to school? Here’s some advice for you.
Try not to use busy roads. In some cities
there are special pains for bikes only. Use them when you can, but watch out―people
often walk along them. Check the road before starting and look all around.
Also, when you’re with friends on bikes, it’s much safer to ride behind, not
next to, each other. Where one road meets another, you should take even more
care. Slow down and check both roads. Use your eyes and be careful.
Check your bike often. Do all the parts
work properly? Is there enough air in your tyres(轮胎)?
If you have an accident or fall off your
bike, a helmet will protect your head. It must be the right
Size, so ask for help when you buy it.
You must use lights at night, so keep them
clean and check the batteries. Don’ yellow and white are
the easiest colours for drivers to see.
&&A bike isn’t a toy and there should be only
one person on it. Many children have accidents when
they play still games on their bike.
Red traffic lights aren’t only for cars and
buses.They’re for you too if you’re on a bike.You’re also breaking the law if
you go the wrong way up a one-way street.

chair every day? Eight hours in the office and three hours in front of the TV
after work is the normal condition for many people.
probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not
good for your health, but the following fact can tell you more.
A study showed the health of 123,000
Americans between 1992 and 2006. The death rate
（比率）for men who spentsix hours or

who sat for three hours or less. The death rate for women who sat for more出an

So what can we do about it? Health experts
suggest we spend more hours standing instead of sitting.
The BBC and the Universitv of Chester
in& the UK did a snnple experiment with a
small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent mo st of the day sitting. They
were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took
records on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat around. As a
result, there were some great
differences, the BBC reported on Oct 16.
The researchers believe that even small
movements,& like standing while talking
on the phone, going over to talk to a workmate rather than sending an e-mail,
or simply taking the stairs instead of lift, will help.

the printer will make human organs to save more lives.
However there are drawbacks to the printer.At the moment,printing
can be quite slow and it’s still rather expensive.The average(平均的) price of a household printer is

Long long ago,there once

the sea suddenly to frighten all the fishes.Ratu kept doing that again and
again.And the fishes became very tired of his game.They could do nothing but go
to ask Hemi,the god of the sea,to help them.
So Hemi tried hard to catch
Ratu when he flew into the sea,but every time Hemi was too slow.Ratu laughed
loudly at Hemi as he flew past him each time.This made Hemi quite angry.He
thought hard and then had an idea.He asked the fishes to bring him a lot of
seaweed(水草).Hemi
collected all this and tied it together to make a large net.Soon Ratu flew down
again and Hemi threw the net over him.Ratu fought and fought but could not get
free.He was caught.
Ratu promised never to fly
down to frighten the fishes again if Hemi would let him go.It was known to all
that Ratu was not an honest god.So Hemi did not set him free.Instead,he changed
Ratu into a mountain in the sea.Ratu was so angry.When he opened his mouth to

Have you ever thought about
how people get raisins from full and juicy grapes?Dry them in the

Xinjiang have another way.They make the best raisins in China.
People there build many”blockhouses(碉堡)” out of earth near a grape
garden.It;s in these blockhouses that the best raisins are made.
Many”blockhouses”are built
on the hillside.They’re usually three meters tall and are as big as the size of
a classroom.
They are quite different
from the houses we live in.They have lots of holes in the wall.Inside there are
many wooden shelves.
After picking the
grapes,people pout them on the shelves.Because of the hot weather,hot dry wind
gets through the holes in the wall and dries the grapes up.Thirty to forty-five
days later,the fruits will turn into soft,sweet raisins.
In around the year
535,people in Xinjiang started to send raisins as gifts to the emperor.This
means that about 1,500 years ago people there already knew hot to make raisins.

（2014内江） 阅读理解 While we are still children ,most of us live at home with our parents, more or less peacefully . But as we become teenagers , things change ,and we begin to grow apart from our parents . This means we are almost ready to leave the house where we grew up and make a new home of our own .All humans must do this ,but they don’t all do it in the same way . If ,for instance ,you belong to a primitive tribe (原始部落) ，then as you grew up ,you’d learn the skills you needed as an adult---how to catch fish ,how to keep the house and look after children . You would be ready to marry in your early teens and you would build a house and live near your family in the village.This seems a very old way of life , but it is what humans have been used to through hundreds of years. And it is what we are still used to in the 21st century ,for man hasn’t changed in the short time since he became civilized(文明的). But could you leave home and look after yourself during the teen years ? Most people would not do very well . Why ? Because although man hasn’t changed very much , the society he lives in has changed greatly ,which means that we have to learn more and more before we are ready to leave our parents’ shelter( 居所 ) and live alone . However ,sometimes it is very frustrating to live at parents’ home . Parents can be very upset about late nights ,criticizing friends and always saying that we are noisy and dirty .

（2014乐山）阅读理解 What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10percent.Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows C it may help you pass the exam!(&&& )61. How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exams?& A. By 2%. B. By 8%. C. By 10%. D. By 25%.(&&& )62. How many students in the study got better grades?A.

Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump
around in the corridor (走廊).
However,students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the
corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.
Why? It is because the corridor was built with special

electricity generated from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or
power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing,
isn’t it?
The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students
not only play on the corridor,but also help power the lights in their school
corridors and other devices ( 设备) in
their& classrooms. Besides, this is a
good way to teach students to be creative. They will be inspired to be
scientists, inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all
The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence
Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own
