American teenagers sometimes use certain drugs to feel good.They call this "getting high".The problem is that once a young man or a young woman has the feeling of"getting high",they want to do it often.If school is boring or too hard,students might get depressed and a drug or herb might help them feel better.If the student takes too much of a drug,the body may change in a wrong way such as a confused mind,poor sight,a headache,and an uncomfortable stomach. Schools now have D.A.R.E.program which means Drug Abuse Resistance Education.This program was started so that young students from age 10 to 18 might understand how a drug affects their bodies.The main point of the program is education.Once a student understands certain drugs can cause ill health,he will know he should not use them. Education is the key to good nutrition as well.If a student eats correctly,he or she will be full of energy which leads to good study habits and good grades.Poor nutrition may cause the need for more sleep and poor concentration.Proper food is similar to the proper use of drugs.Both allow a healthy body to grow while misuse of them prevents a person from developing normally. Question: The main aim of D.A.R.E.program is to_. Options: A: manage and control drugs B: explain to teenagers what drug is C: stop teenagers from taking drugs D: help teenagers know about the harm of drugs

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: ECO-friendly technology was the hottest trend at the 39thTokyo Motor Show, which opened last Friday. About 240 car manufacturers from 13 countries presented new models. Most were powered by hybrid ,fuel cell and electrical systems. Carmakers are championing more environmentally models amid increasing oil prices and environmental concerns. "It's now carmakers' social responsibility to protect the environment," said Mazda president Hisakazu Imaki. Seventy-nine cars and motorcycles are being presented to the public for the first time, according to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. The organizing association said the biennial show, due to end on November6,was sure to have a large impact on the automobile industry. Manufacturers are currently competing in the shift from gasoline-run engines to hybrid, fuel cell or electricity-powered systems. Mazda has a new sports vehicle, which runs on a hybrid electric-petrol system. It is also showing a gasoline-hydrogen run sports car. A member of the Ford family, Mazda plans to market a hybrid version of the Tribute sport utility vehicle (SUV) next spring and enhance its co-operation with Ford in hybrid systems development. Honda's fuel cell sedan on show uses a hydrogen-oxygen fuel. The system only sends water out its exhaust ,a better solution for the environment and less polluting than hybrids. Question: What would be the best title for the passage? Options: A: New Car Trend B: Tokyo Motor Show C: Eye-catching Cars on Show D: prefix = st1 /TokyoShows Eco Cars

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Conservationists have unveiled plans to preserve and protect the world's most important species of coral, in a response to increasing threats that they say will lead to "functional extinction" within decades. Led by scientists at the Zoological Society of London, the Edge Coral Reefs project has identified 10 coral species in most urgent risk of becoming extinct.The scientists say that reefs are under pressure from a variety of threats including rising sea temperatures due to climatic instability, increased acidity , overfishing and pollution. The Edge plan, which focuses on the most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species , will take a regional approach to conservation.This means focusing on the "coral triangle" around the Philippines, the West Indian Ocean around the Mozambique channel, and in the Caribbean channel. "Coral reefs are threatened with functional extinction in the next 20-50 years, due predominantly to global climatic instability," said Catherine Head, coordinator of the reefs project."In these regions, we'll be supporting and training in-country conservationists to carry out research and implement targeted conservation actions," she said."Their projects will last initially for two years.We provide them with a whole host of tools to carry out their projects including funding and intensive training." She added. Coral reefs are the planet's most diverse marine ecosystem , known as the rainforests of the oceans.Despite taking up under 0.2% of the ocean floor, they provide food and shelter for almost a third of all sea life.If we lose the ecosystems, we lose not only the biodiversity , but we also lose the capability of people to obtain income and food from coral reefs. Climatic instability, which leads to rising sea temperatures, causes corals to bleach.Bleaching occurs when sea temperatures rise and this causes the coral tissue to expel their symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae - these are what give the coral their colour.Bleached corals often die if the stress continues.Among... Question: Which of the following statements about the Edge Plan is TRUE? Options: A: The Edge Coral Reefs project was carried out by American scientists. B: The plan concentrates on the channels to protect the endangered species. C: The Conservationists have carried out the Edge plan for many years to protect the corals. D: Ten coral species chosen by the project are at the greatest risk of becoming extinct.
