Skyscrapers are very tall buildings in a city. Looking up at them might make you dizzy (眩晕的). Skyscrapers are a .wonder, whether (不管) you are looking up or down.

How can the buildings be so tall? Something that happened during the 1880s made it possible. First, a man named William Jenney got the idea of using a steel frame to hold up the walls and floors (钢架支撑墙壁和地面) of a building Jenney s idea made it possible to build taller buildings so he is called the "Father of the American skyscraper" Second, the elevators （电梯）improved. That helped people go up and down the tall buildings more easily."

Back in the 1880s, Jenney s first tall building was 10 stories (楼层) high. In 2004, Taipei 101, at 101 stories high, became the tallest building in the world. But soon the Burj Khalifa in Dubai overtook it in 2010. The 828-meter building has 163 stories.

For example, Shanghai Tower in China, One World Trade Center in the USA, Abraj Ai-Bait Clock Tower in Saudi Arabia, etc. All of them are really wonderful, aren't they?

举一反三

    In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
    Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
    Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
    We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
    We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
    If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
    The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions according what you've read.

The Book Thief was written by the Australian author Markus Zusak and it has been his most popular work. Published (出版) in 2005, it has become an international bestseller and been translated into several languages. In 2013, it was adapted into a film of the same name.

Are you wondering who the“book thief”is? It was Liesel Meminger, a 12-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II. While the Nazis were creating horrors (恐怖) all around, Liesel came across something that she couldn't give up: books. She stole books that belonged to the mayor's (市长的) wife, as well as books that the Nazis wanted to destroy.

A Jewish man named Max inspired Liesel's love for books. Liesel's family hides Max in their house. He developed a close relationship with Liesel and taught her to read in secret. Soon, Liesel realized the power of words. She not only stole books, but also wrote her own stories.

“It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next,” as The Guardian reported. Instead, the sadness of Liesel's story interests you. It makes you realize that such kinds of things have happened to many other people. And it makes you think a lot.

Healthy eating is important for as. What and how should we eat to be healthy?

First, we must have enough food, never too much or too little. The food must be clean and we should cook it properly.

Second, it's very important for us to keep a balanced diet. Different kinds of foods are necessary, such as rice, bread, meat, fish, eggs, milk, fruit and vegetables. Rice and bread give us energy. Meat, fish, eggs and milk help our bones grow. Fruit and vegetables make us healthy.

Third, we should eat regularly. It's said that half of the students don't have a regular breakfast or don't eat anything in the morning. It is bad for their health. In fact, a good breakfast keeps us strong.

In short, we should not only eat enough food and healthy food but also eat regularly.
