World Book Day is a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages, with author events, school fancy-dress parades and a £1 book token(購書券)given to all school children under 18. It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ) to promote reading.

In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March 2016 children of all ages in the UK will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough ( Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because they’ve experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.

The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.

Jojo Moyes’s Paris For One is a romantic adventure in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital -- in more ways than one.

Adele Geras’s moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer’s widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.

Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago -- but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night -- he’s lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.

1.What is the main aim of the World Book Day?

A. To promote book selling. B. To encourage reading.

C. To win authors fame. D. To perfect education.

2.If you lack confidence in your reading skills, you will probably avoid reading _____.

Nowadays people are putting our water supply in danger, because they use too much water or throw rubbish into the river. You may wonder how paving(鋪砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of thewaterweuse every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with morerainfall,but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too. In the United States,a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live,but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗機(jī))only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

1.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

A.Using river water.

B.Throwing batteries away.

C.Paving parking lots.

D.Throwing rubbish into lakes.

2.What can be inferred from the text?

A.All water shortages are due to human behavior.

B.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.

D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.

3.The last paragraph is intended to________.

A.show us how to fix leaks at home

B.tell us how to run a dishwasher

C.prove what drinking glass is best for us

D.suggest what we do to save water at home

4.The text is mainly about________.

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants(參與者) dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from roof top to roof top.

Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.

Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”

Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself. It is only a state of mind. It is when you trust yourself that you earn energy.

1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.

A. its founder, David Belle

B. the varieties of participants

C. its risks and tricks

D. the film Casino Royale

2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. streetsB. buildingsC. barriersD. roofs

3.Which of the following is true of parkour?

A. It needs special training.

B. It is a good but boring sport.

C. It challenges human abilities.

D. It is a team sport.

4.As its participants move around a city, ________.

A. they should run to extremes

B. they may choose to escape

C. they can ask for help

D. they must learn to survive

5.Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

A. Sports and extremes.

B. Excitement and freedom.
