The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is reported that a big part of the government’s health budge（預算）has been used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt（破產(chǎn)）if the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet（均衡飲食）, such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular（定期的）exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.
However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.

Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011.Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被動)smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up.  Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.
Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生產(chǎn)率).Employees(雇員)who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of  hours they put in their work is smaller.
If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.
小題1:________doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.
A．A fieldB．A hospitalC．A libraryD．A restaurant
小題2:The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ______.
A．banning smoking is good for restaurants
B．banning smoking is good for non-smokers
C．banning smoking is good for spread of diseases
D．banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers
小題3:How many advantages of banning smoking are mentioned in this passage?
A．Two.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.
小題4:According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means ______.
A．menB．womenC．a(chǎn)dultsD．teenagers
小題5:Which of the following statements in NOT true?
A．If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.
B．If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.
C．If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.
D．If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.

The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.
But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won’t be used up.
小題1:The world is thirsty for water because _______.
A．we don’t have enough fresh waterB．a(chǎn) lot of water goes into sewer systems
C．only 70% of the earth’s surface is waterD．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water
小題2:From this passage, we know acid rain _______.
A．is only bad for living thingsB．is not bad for buildings and factories
C．can be produced in factoriesD．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings
小題3:One difficult way we can solve the problem is to _______.
A．use the water with salt in itB．remove the salt from sea water
C．get water from undergroundD．reuse the water in cities
小題4:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Fresh water and sea waterB．A thirsty country
C．The importance of waterD．The world’s water problem

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you looked up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation （翻譯）? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master（掌握）the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, but the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the different between the two parts of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit（精神實質(zhì)） of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
小題1:From the passage we know that __________when we are learning English.
A．we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B．we should look up every word in the dictionary

D．we must read word by word
小題2:The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.
A．difficult to understand different sounds

A．the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of words
B．the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C．sometimes a different order of words has a different meaning

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life.
