Scientists （科學家） are trying to make the deserts （沙漠） into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts. Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don’t get much rain. But they still don’t become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry (干旱的)places. Plants don’t let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don’t let the wind blow the earth away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become deserts much more easily.

B．Plants don’t let the hot sun make the earth even drier.
C．People don’t keep the earth well.
D．Scientists haven’t learnt enough about the deserts.

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others.
The man who is too lazy to work is the man who’s generally most ready to beg or steal. Every boy should learn some useful work when he is young.

Amazon. com was one of the first companies to try to sell products on the Internet. Jeff Bezos started the company. He was a successful vice—president of a company in New York. One day he predicted the future. He thought，“The World Wide Web is growing 200 percent a year. It's going to continue to grow. Shopping is going to move to the Internet. People are going to shop online. ”He gave up his good job and drove across the country to Seattle，Washington. There he started an online bookstore called Amazon. com. Bezos had very little money.

Learning English grammar and English vocabulary can be hard enough, but trying to understand English sayings can be more difficult. Some are just hard to figure out and others don’t make any sense at all. Here are four funny English sayings that you can use every day.
I’m happy as a clam(蛤).
Think of a clam. It doesn’t have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn’t it? If someone asks, “How are you today?” you can answer “I am happy as a clam” to let him or her know what a great mood you are in.
I wouldn’t touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole.
Maybe there is a person who you don’t want to be friends with or even talk to. Well, this saying means that you dislike him or her so much that you don’t want to touch or go near him or her, even within ten feet!
You don’t have a leg to stand on.
This saying doesn’t mean that the person you’re talking to has no legs. It means that his or her argument is incorrect. He or she doesn’t have a leg to stand on because he or she has no facts to support what he or she is saying. This saying is a good way to tell people that you think they’re wrong.
Break a leg!
This saying actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. If you tell this to a person, you’re wishing him or her good luck！The saying comes from a superstition(迷信) that whatever you say aloud, the opposite will come true.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us____________________.
A．learning English grammar is hard
B．learning English vocabulary is hard
C．we should use English sayings every day
D．it can be harder to understand English sayings
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE about a clam?
A．It can be used to show happiness.B．It needs to do many things.
C．It needs to eat a lot.D．It can only live on the beach.
小題3:The saying “I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole” means___________.
A．I hate him.B．I want him to be my friend.
C．I like him.D．I want to argue with him.
小題4:We can learn from the passage that______________________.
A．the saying “You don’t have a leg to stand on” means someone loses his legs
B．the saying “Break a leg” means someone hurts his or her leg
C．if we say “Break a leg” to someone, we give him or her a good wish
D．if we say “I am ill” aloud, we will become healthy

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
小題1: This text is most probably written by ______.
A．A specialist in teenager studies.
B．a(chǎn) headmaster of a middle school
C．a(chǎn) parent with teenage children
D．a(chǎn) doctor for mental health problems
小題2:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A．the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child
B．the way that parents often blame themselves
C．the opinion that a child has of his parents
D．the advice that parents want their children to follow
小題3:The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.
A．lazyB．quietC．unusualD．rude
小題4:From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A．pay no attention to them
B．a(chǎn)re too busy to look after them
C．have come to hate them
D．feel helpless to do much about them
小題5:What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
A．Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B．Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C．Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D．Parents are a fault for the change in their children.
