English is spoken as the first language by most people in the U.S.A., Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada. However, English is spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In these places, English is often spoken as the second language.
English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English to communicate when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.
English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English if the speakers come or don’t come from those countries. People in Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like American.
English has been the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 20th century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian speakers. It belongs to anyone in the world. So, as a middle school student today, you should think about how you can use this language. After you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.

The world uses about one billion tons (吨) of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans.
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal (沿海的) countries. They process more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity (量). This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. So music can help us fall asleep better, wake up less during the night and feel more relaxed in the morning. You may not notice the effects (功效) overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may connect with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate (心率) and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats (节拍) per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down. Or you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It’s very important to get enough high quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland.

A. help people of all ages B. only help people under the age of 15

English is spoken as the first language by most people in the U.S.A., Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada. However, English is spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In these places, English is often spoken as the second language.
English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English to communicate when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.
English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English if the speakers come or don’t come from those countries. People in Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like American.
English has been the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 20th century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian speakers.

The world uses about one billion tons (吨) of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans.
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal (沿海的) countries. They process more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
6. How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?

A. By keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. B. By letting waste run into oceans.
C. By storing waste in ice and snow. D. By sending waste to coastal countries.
8. What does the underlined word “desalination” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电 C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化
9. At present, the technology to process water ________.
A. saves much money B. satisfies everyone
C. needs much energy D. causes pollution
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity (量). This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. So music can help us fall asleep better, wake up less during the night and feel more relaxed in the morning. You may not notice the effects (功效) overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may connect with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate (心率) and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats (节拍) per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down. Or you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It’s very important to get enough high quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. It is found that soft music can ________ sleep.
A help people of all ages B. only help people under the age of 15
C. only help people with sleeping problems D. only help people who are experiencing lots of stress
12. According to the text, it may take as long as ________ before you notice the effects of soft music.
A 3 hours B. 3 nights C. 3 weeks D. 3 months
13. How can we work out how many beats a song has in a minute?
A. By comparing it with a 70 bpm song.
B. By entering the song’s title into songbpm.com.
C. By finding out whether it can help us fall asleep.
D. By counting our heart rates while listening to the song.
14. What is the text mainly about?
A. People with sleeping problems. B. The role of music in our daily lives.
C. How soft music can improve our sleep. D. The importance of getting enough sleep.
