Animals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them _ . They travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.
Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous, some travel in large groups. For example, geese  fly in noisy, "V"-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.
Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as the weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example, snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.
Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals, like mice, collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change.
Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animal's body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating.
Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold, they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There, frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water, and frogs can breathe through their skin.
Every type of insect has its own life cycle and that is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Some insects also spend the winter without moving. Some insects spend the winter as pupae . Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everything begins all over again.

<question>:
Why do many birds fly in large groups?

<options>:
A They can easily find food this way.
B They will use little energy.
C They can get warm at night.
D There may be danger during the trip.

On my first holiday in America, I went to a large supermarket to buy breakfast. And although this was an English-speaking country that I knew well through films and TV, I was amazed. Everything came in unfamiliar   packaging  ,with things I'd never heard of, Even things as simple as corn chips were strange, in different colours including black and purple.
Tilse, who works for Nutrition Australia, first realized there was a problem six years ago. After teachers at her children's school quietly shared their opinions about the diets, she knew something about it. "They cared for what many children were  bringing to school for lunch," she said. "Mostly packaged foods, such as chips are not healthy."
Tilse said, "They've managed to escape war areas and get to Australia, only to face the very real risk of running into heart disease. All because they're making wrong choices about food."
"Before I came to Australia, I'd never seen a sandwich," said Joseline Ntunzusenimanima, a 33-year-old mother of seven from Burundi in East Africa. "There were so many fruits I had either never seen or not been able to buy for many years. I was in shock for the first four days after I arrived. I didn't know what to do or where to go because I was just amazed to see plenty of food, peace and safety."

<passage>:
Are you an only-child in your family? Are you feeling alone at home? How are you dealing with it?
Zhang Luwen, 12, feels lucky to have a 4-year-old "brother". "With him, I never feel lonely at home. He goes with me wherever I go," said the girl of Sichuan Province. But it is not easy to be a sister. Zhang has to help her parents bath her "brother" every week. This is because he is hairy -- he is a dog.
As the number of pet owners in China grows more and more, Chinese students have animal friends at home. Experts say that these small animals give these only-children lessons in love, care, teamwork and generosity.
This month, the first study on the influence of pets on the children came out. It is a survey of 402 Beijing primary school students. It shows that animal friends are good for children.
China had more than 90 million only-children by 2006, according to the government. "In families of three, most children feel lonely. They don't have many chances to learn how to love and be responsible for others," said Zhou Xia in the study group. "So having a pet can help with the problem."
However, some students complain that their parents don't allow them to have pets. "They are afraid a pet would stop me studying," said Chen Qi, of Chongqing.
Perhaps he could learn from Qin Yixing, 13, of Beijing. "I don't play with my dog until I have finished my homework. I made the promise to my mom and I must keep it," said the girl.

<question>:
According to the passage, experts think   _  .

<options>:
A it is good for students to have animal friends at home
B only-children families in China will be fewer and fewer
C small animals at home are bad for students
D parents should buy more pet animals for their children

Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people's  health? The answer is simple:he wanted to make more money.It was a moral failing,and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China.Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others.

The widespread number of food scandals in  China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouths.They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean,healthy and nutritious  or does it contain  something harmful that will cause disease?
Most of the food we eat today is processed food .That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets,especially packaged foods,are prepared in factories.Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to  make them look better,taste better and last longer on the shelf.The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate  which chemicals can and cannot be used.Unfortunately,some producers do not obey the laws.
A producer of steamed buns in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law.He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns.He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns.Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students...like you!
Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people's  health? The answer is simple:he wanted to make more money.It was a moral failing,and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China.Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others.

"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves."
Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. If they see their weak points and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as  they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.

<question>:

A Because they had good education.
B Because they wanted very much to become well-known.
C Because they worked hard.

<passage>:
The resignation letter of Gu Shaoqiang, a teacher from Henan, "The world is so big; I want to see it." is very popular in the Internet. Many people say that it spoke the minds of millions of people who feel they have been in a boring and normal life and want to do something different to change it. Whatever the teacher may be able to achieve with her life, it is meaningful for people to make their dream come true.
So, what is your opinion? Should we praise the teacher for resigning and following her dreams?
Yes---All of us have dreams that can't come true right now.
First, Too many people waste their lives by doing things they don't love simply because it is what people expect them to do. They are not happy and they also affect  people around them. The earlier they can break free, the more meaning they can make out of their lives.
Second, It is a waste of people's talents and social resources  if they don't get to do the things they are most talented at. Some people don't want to be white-collar workers all their lives. They should have the freedom to change their lives.
Third, As our country develops so fast, people have greater freedom to change their lives as long as they put in the time and effort. The teacher is a good example.
No---People can't change their lives overnight.
First, "Seeing the world" is not good enough an excuse to leave one's job and life. This kind of attitude could actually be a bad example for young people.
Second, Everyone has a place in society and life. People may not have achieved their wildest or most ambitious dreams, but where they end up is the result of their and society's decisions. Unless they offer to make lots of efforts and sacrifices, people can't change their lives _
Third, The reason why the teacher gave up her job is too unclear. It is too irresponsible.

<question>:
Why does Gu Shaoqiang become popular recently according to the passage?

<options>:
A Because of her dream
B Because she is a very famous teacher
C Because of her resignation letter
D Because she wants to see the outside world

My mother used to say things just to make me mad. Like most teenagers, I thought I knew everything. And what I didn't know, I didn't want to be told. For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would roll her eyes. On my way out, she'd shout, " _ You don't want to learn that the hard way!" I didn't know what that meant. I thought she just wanted me to stay at home.
Many years later I had three teenagers of my own. They thought they knew everything. I would say the same things to them like my mom. That's when I first saw it. My mother wasn't trying to help me.
Why do we always have to learn things "the hard way"? Why can't we just accept our elders' wisdom? It's a good lesson for anyone. Clearly, I still haven't learned it.
Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone ringing in the kitchen. Grabbing a towel, I ran through the house. I grabbed the phone and hit my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I'd broken two toes.
We all need to slow ourselves down once in a while, before something bad does it for us. My mother was right about a lot of things. I wish I could have told her.

Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders.
" In my opinion," the first man said, " the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn't have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.
" I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful," the second man said, " But I don't think they're the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do."
He turned to the third man and asked, " What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?"
The third man thought for a long time, then he said, " Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos ."
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. " A thermos?" they exclaimed , " But that's a simple thing."

Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders.
" In my opinion," the first man said, " the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn't have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.
" I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful," the second man said, " But I don't think they're the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do."
He turned to the third man and asked, " What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?"
The third man thought for a long time, then he said, " Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos ."
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. " A thermos?" they exclaimed , " But that's a simple thing."
" Oh, no, it's not," the third man said, " in the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot, in the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer?"

<question>:
The third man was not very clever because   _  .

<options>:
A he could not think of anything to say
B he did not understand how a thermos works
C he did not think the pyramids were wonderful
D he did not know anything about computers

<passage>:
Most people follow others blindly mainly under the effect of peer  pressure. Some people also feel it safe to follow a large number of people. In some _ cases it might be right to follow the crowd  , but in most cases this can be one big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow the crowd blindly.  According to a study, people tend to follow the crowd when they aren't sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it isn't right.
A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is: are all of those people successful? Of course not! If you want to follow a crowd, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that's why following the crowd makes no sense at all.
Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because
they're greater than you in number, then sooner or later you'll discover that you're
making decisions you might regret later.
However, should we never follow the crowd?No. I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd, but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you take a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in, don't follow them blindly.

<question>:
A man who wants to succeed should  _  .

<options>:
A follow the crowd
B follow others' guidance
C follow a successful person
D follow the same path of most people

For many years, a small percentage of homeowners have fixed solar panels   on their rooftops. Those panels collect some of the sun's energy and either change it into electricity or use it to heat water. Until recently, the panels were too expensive for average homeowners, and their designs were not attractive. Thanks to new advances, however, solar panels for homes are becoming cheaper and less large and heavy. Now more homeowners are considering using them.
Stores begin to sell Solar panels
Last fall furniture retailer  IKEA began selling solar panels in its U.K. stores. IKEA has brought the DIY solar choice to the public. While shopping for furniture, shoppers could not add a box or two of solar panels to their shopping cart  . IKEA is partnering with a company. The company deals with fixing and servcing of the solar panels on the roofs. So it is easy for customers to change from old energy system to solar system. If all goes well, IKEA plans to begin selling the panels in other countries soon.
Stylish solar panels
SolTech, a Swedish company, offers a really great solar-power solution. Instead of flat panels, SolTech covers the panels with a special glass tile.  And the shape of the glass tile fits traditional tiled roof designs. SolTech recently offers solar systems that heat the home's air or water. And it also offers one solar system that produces electricity.
 _
New technology has turned windows into solar panels. SolarWindow technology enables see-through windows to produce electricity after the glass surface is added with a special coating. Amazingly, SolarWindow can produce electricity in low-light conditons and can even turn indoor, man-made light into electricity! Since buildings are getting taller and about 60 percent of an office building's surface is covered with windows, solar window could become a very popular way for people to produce energy and save money.
