What’s language for？Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules（規(guī)則） and learning lists of words --the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native（本土的） speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. So Chinese students should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo(做過頭)it. They should put communication(交際)first.
小題1: Language is used to __________ .
A．express oneself
B．practise grammar rules.
C．talk with foreigners only
D．learn lists of words
小題2: If too many native speakers break a rule,________ .
A．what they use will become right.
B．they are against the law
C．they should say sorry to others.
D．they will become heroes
小題3: When we speak a foreign language, we should________ .
A．speak in Chinese way
B．speak by the rules
C．speak to native speakers
D．not be afraid of making mistakes
小題4:What should Chinese students put first?
A．LanguageB．CommunicationC．RulesD．Grammar

Air is a colorless, tasteless and invisible（看不見的）gas that is around us. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, in fact, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth（布）into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
小題1:Since air is matter, it has ________.
A．room , and weight as wellB．both room and shape
C．either room or weightD．neither shape nor weight
小題2:The word “Stuff” means ______ in Chinese.
A．撕B．蓋C．取掉D．塞
小題3:The writer tells that the experiment（實驗）___________.
A．is carried out in the spaceB．must be done in the lab
C．is made in the roomD．can only be done in the open air

Today Newtown is a clean place, but many years ago there were millions of rats there. The rats even attacked (攻擊 ) the cats and dogs. Sometimes many of them tried to bite men or women at night. The rats were very large in size and they harmed (傷害 ) many people.
The city office ordered every one to kill rats. However, most people were lazy, so they did not kill many rats. The city office could do nothing with the citizens and could do nothing with the rats, either. Some time later, they had to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They at once began to kill rats. They got as many dead rats as they could. And some of them even stopped their own work to kill rats because they could get more pay. Every day a city official(官員 ) put all the dead rats together. He was very busy doing that, because sometimes a man brought hundreds of them in one day. Two weeks later, there were not so many rats in the city as before,  but people still brought many dead rats to the city office. The city officials felt surprised at this but at last they found out people were stealing the dead rats they had collected. So the city official had to order his men to dig a big hole and put the dead rats in it. Soon there were no more rats and the city did not have to pay any more money for that.
