Luckily for them, it didn’t destroy (毁坏) anything and no one was hurt. But a large stone fell from a nearby mountain and stopped in the middle of the road. When the earthquake stopped, many people came to the road and saw the stone. Some of the strongest men wanted to move it away, they tried again and again but at last they failed. “Well,” they said sadly ,“there’s nothing we can do about it, we’ll have to change the way.” At this time a boy of 12 years old said , “ I think I can move the stone away.” “You?” all the strong men laughed at the boy, “What are you talking about ?” The next morning people were all surprised to see that the stone was gone. It wasn’t on the road any longer and it wasn’t even near the road. The boy smiled and said “I buried it.” The people looked rather surprised. “You see,” he said , “I dug (挖) a deep hole next to the stone and I dug a small incline (斜坡) up to the stone and the stone rolled down into the hole itself. Then I covered it with earth. “The villagers shouted “Clever boy! Clever boy!” and some of them said, “ Why didn’t we think out this good idea ?” 4.

Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. That's why scientists think yawning is contagious. It’s no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure. Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Others believe yawning has something to do with breathing. When there is too much carbon dioxide(CO2) in our bodies, our bodies will tell the brains（大脑）to breathe deeply. That causes a big yawn. In 2007, scientists said people yawned to cool down their brains. These scientists found people yawned more often if they were warmer than others. Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, immediately everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too. 8. The underlined word "contagious" in Paragraph 1 means__________. A. helpful to our health B. passing from one person to another C. hard to understand D. getting into one trouble after another 9. According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are__________. A. born B. one year old C. 17 or 19 years old D. inside their mothers 10. Which of the following is NOT RIGHT according to the passage? __________ A. People yawn to catch others' attention. B. People yawn because they are bored. C. People yawn to cool down their brains. D. People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide. 11. We can probably read this passage in a__________.

It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But didn’t you learn to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift.

It reminds people not to waste food and fight hunger. A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year. There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult. Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year. Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year. So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much. When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves. Title: Introduction to World Food Day The UN’s purpose(目的) to start this day To remind people not to 1 food and fight hunger.
