    Many environmental groups are warning that oceans of the world are in great danger. In the past 50 years, the number of water with zero oxygen(氧气) in the open ocean has increased more than four times. In the near coast water bodies, including the river mouth and seas, low-oxygen areas have increased more than 10 times since 1950.Scientists discover that oxygen continues dropping ever outside these zones as the Earth warms. To stop the drop, the world needs to control in both climate change and nutrient(养分) pollution.

    Oxygen is a must to life in the oceans. The drop in ocean oxygen is among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth's environment.

    This is the first time for the scientists to take such a deep look at the causes, results and solutions to low oxygen worldwide, in both the open ocean and the near coast waters. About half of the oxygen on Earth comes from the ocean. However, mixed effects of nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing the number and size of "dead zones" in the open ocean and the near coast waters, where oxygen is too low to support most sea life.

    In the areas traditionally called "dead zones", like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, oxygen drops to levels so low that many animals have trouble in breathing and die. As fishes run away from these zones, their living areas become smaller and smaller. But the problem goes far beyond "dead zones". Even smaller oxygen drops can hold up the growth in animals and lead to disease or even death. Low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals. Although a few animals can grow well in dead zones, overall biodiversity(多样性)falls.

(1)、How to stop the drop of ocean oxygen in the article?
A、By controlling in both climate change and nutrient pollution around the world. B、By taking a deep look at the causes, results and solutions to low oxygen worldwide. C、By running away from these zones, for the living areas become smaller and smaller. D、By cutting down the number of animals in the oceans.
(2)、Why are these waters called" dead zones" from the article?
A、Because the oxygen in these areas is too low for most sea life to live. B、Because nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing. C、Because there are no animals living in these areas. D、Because low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals.
(3)、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A、Only a few animals living in the sea need oxygen. B、Climate change can help cut down the dead zones. C、Fishes grow faster and better in low oxygen areas. D、Human activities have many serious effects on ocean environment.

    You change the channels for the fourth time and realize that once again there's nothing on television that gets your attention. Not a problem! Throw on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run.
    One of the coolest things about the sport of running is that you don't need expensive equipment(装备). All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But just because you don't need much equipment don't be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.
    Running makes your heart, lungs, and muscles stronger. It makes you know more about your body. Running also gives you energy by increasing your oxygen(氧气) intake, so you don't get sick easily. It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.
    How do you take part in the sport if you don't know much about it? Most schools offer cross-country and track programs, but there are also running clubs open to all ages. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set realistic goals and take care of their bodies.
    Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you'll see people cheering for all the runners, from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isn't always about how fast you are or how far you're going. It's about getting out there and doing it. Taking part is more important than competition, and effort is recognized over gift.
If you're looking for more than just a sport, running may be the perfect choice for you.

My good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. He moved to Canada from Mexico when he was a baby, but his parents tried to follow some of the Mexican traditions. At his party, I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! 

Carlos's birthday party got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. 

Do you know that in Vietnam, everyone's birthday is on the same day? Kids do not celebrate on birthdays. Instead, on New Year's Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them. What a great way to celebrate birthdays! 

In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now "unlock the door to their future life". 

In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults (成年人) pull children's ears—one pull for each year. In Denmark, a flag flies outside the window of a house where a child is having a birthday. When the child is asleep, adults put presents all around the child's bed. 

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Duan Jiayang, a 13-year-old student of a middle school in Shenzhen, learns the skills required to take care of vegetable fields. "We have many activities, such as placing the mulch film(地膜), "he says, "It's not easy. "

In China, many parents place a heavy focus on their children's good grades, but vocational(职业的) skills have little been cared. "Some parents do everything for their children, "says Yan Mei, an official in the middle school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their daily lives

Since March last year, the governments have launched(发布)a lot of policies(政策), requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills. Following these policies, the middle school launched an"agricultural(农业的)class base"on one of its schoolyards. Students plant fruit and vegetables on an area of land about 4, 000m²in size. 

In the days coming up to the MayDay holiday, students of different grades at the school worked together in the fields, says a head teacher of a middle school. They planted watermelons, carrots and corn. 

The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through.
