What do you think are the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.
Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.
One of the simplest (最簡單) inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common (普通的) in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting far-sighted (遠(yuǎn)視) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
小題1:Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to ______.
A.have printing B.feed animals
C.drink clean waterD.do “close work”
小題2:The invention of the toilet can stop people from ______.
A.saving water B.getting ill
C.living in big citiesD.finding clean water
小題3:Why couldn’t the animals live through the winter?
A.It was very cold in winter. B.They didn’t have enough food to eat.
C.They had no drinking water.D.They died of illness.
小題4:From the last paragraph we learn that ______.
A.a(chǎn)ll people need reading glasses
B.a(chǎn)nyone must do “close work” after 45
C.reading glasses are useful
D.life is more difficult for the people under 45

For many in the United States, Arab-Americans are an invisible part of the population. Though Arab-Americans as a community have made great contributions to American society in fields from literature to politics to medicine, many Americans know very little about Americans of Arab backgrounds.
Arab history in the United States goes back to the late 1800’s when large numbers of Arab immigrants first began making their journey to a land known simply as “Amreeka”.
Historians generally describe Arab immigration to America in two waves. The first wave took place between 1860 and 1924.The first wave consisted of Lebanese and Syrian, and some Egyptian immigrants. These new immigrants, who were mostly Christian, came to America in search of better opportunities. Even the doomed Titanic, which set sail for America in 1912,had close to a hundred Arab passengers aboard. The majority of Arab-Americans today are descendents of the first wave of immigrants; they are the third or more generation Americans.
The second wave of immigrants followed after World War Ⅱ,caused by political unrest in the Middle East. This second wave of immigrants consists of mainly Arab Muslims(穆斯林)and continues to this day.
Arab-Americans make up 3 million of the population in the United States, according to demographers. And quite different from popular belief, 64 percent of them are American-born. Eighty-two percent of Arab-Americans are US citizens.
Arab-Americans are beyond the national average in both education and income. Education is important among Arab-Americans; 82 percent have high school diplomas, 36 percent have bachelor’s degrees or higher, and 15 percent have graduate degrees. The-median(中位數(shù)的)average income among Arab-Americans is $39,580, which is higher than the US average.
小題1:The first wave of immigrants took place because__________.
A.a(chǎn)ll Arabs were Christian at that time
B.Arabs wanted to gain higher income
C.the Second World War broke out
D.Arabs wanted to hunt for a better development
小題2:The writer of this passage mentioned Titanic__________.
A.to tell us that taking ship at that time was dangerous
B.because Titanic became a well-known disaster
C.to show us there were many Arabs flocking into America at that time
D.to inform us that Arabs are brave enough
小題3:From the last paragraph we can infer that__________.
A.Arab-Americans are much more clever than native Americans
B.the higher education you receive, the higher income you will get in America
C.Arab-Americans are hard-working people
D.The-median average income among Americans is $39,580
小題4:Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A.Arab-Americans have made great contributions to American society only in literature.
B.Arab history in the United States is to the early 1800’s.
C.The first Arab immigration to America took place between 1860 and 1924.
D.Few of Arab-Americans are US citizens.
小題5: What would be the best title for the text?
A.Arabs in America.
B.The Two Arab Immigration Waves to America.

Is the world too crowded? Well, that’s a hard question to answer. It’s all a matter of perspective(視角).In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao, 60,000 people live in every square mile!
What is true is that the world’s population doesn’t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate(比例).That’s in part because in each generation(代) these are more people who then have children than in the last generation.
Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world’s population was under 2 billion(十億).Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now that’s a whole lot of people! Soon the world’s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals(相當(dāng)于) too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources(資源) the world needs to feed, house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth’s resources.

If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation(邀請) or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table.
