The first part of a new science-fiction series （系列剧）was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飞船）which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we'll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.

Let's think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don't think we'll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek's idea of life in the future is "communicators". And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you'll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won't have to examine you – a machine will "read" your body. The strangest manchine includes a "teleport" which will take people to a different placein a second!

The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there's only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company （公司）will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn't improve, Star Trek won't last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can't see into the future!

（1）、What is Star Trek?

A、A TV play. B、A popular song. C、A spacecraft. D、An alien.

（2）、What does the underlined word "optimistic”mean?

A、Lucky and happy. B、Hopeful and confident. C、Helpful and creative. D、Thankful and popular.

（3）、What's the writer's opinion about Star Trek?

A、The life forms on other planets are stupid. B、Interesting ideas make a new series popular. C、The new series might not be successful without better actors.

（4）、Which would be the best title for the passage?

A、Aliens on Other Planets. B、The Idea of Human Life. C、A Science Fiction. D、A New Series about Future.

   Japanese people work very hard at studying English. They start studying English at the age of 12. Most young Japanese people spend a lot of time and work hard at studying English, but Japanese people are not good at English. Here are the reasons:
   There are few people from English-speaking countries in Japan. They don't have enough chances to speak with them. Japan is an island(岛)country and they feel that other countries are far away. So they don't use English very often. And the Japanese feel that it is strange(奇怪的) to talk to each other in English.
   The Japanese education doesn't always follow the educational trends(趋势) in the world. It puts a lot of importance on grammar and vocabulary, and less on speaking, listening and reading skills.
   Many Japanese students' English becomes worse(更糟糕的) after they go to university(大学).They have to learn English again if they work in English-speaking countries. Sometimes the Japanese feel shy about speaking wrong or broken English.

   Many children use the Internet to get useful knowledge and information, and to relax in their free time. But some of them are not using it is a good way. Here are some rules to make sure you are safe and have fun on the Internet.
Make rules for Internet use with your parents. For example, when you can go online, for how long and what activities you can go online.
Don't give your password(密码) to anyone else, and never give out the following information—your real name, home address, age, school, phone number or other personal information.
   Check with your parents before giving out a credit card(信用卡) number. Never send a photo of yourself to someone by e－mail unless your parents say it's OK.
   Check with your parents before going into a chat room. Different chat rooms have different rules and attract different kinds of people. You and your parents ought to make sure it's a right place for you.
   Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet without your parents' permission(允许). Never meet anyone you met online alone.
Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Treat everyone online as strangers.
   If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable, leave the site. Tell a parent or teacher right away.Treat other people as you'd like to be treated. Never use bad language.
   Remember — not everything you read on the Internet is true.

    If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?
    Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better?
    The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions(说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.
The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.
    So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.
1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.
4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain(某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

For most of people in the west，Valentine's Day(情人节) ends on February 15，but here in Japan it's not quite over until March 15.March 14—exactly one month after Valentine's Day—is White Day in Japan.

To really understand what White Day is all about，you have to understand what Valentine's Day in Japan is like. Japanese Valentine's Day is all about men getting presents. Japanese women are usually too shy to show their love，though it might not be true today. Valentine's Day is a great chance to let women show their feelings. Men should return gifts to women on White Day.

On both days，chocolate is the gift of choice. More often，the colour of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. You can also buy flowers，candy，or cookies.

Does it sound good to you? Don't get too excited when you get chocolate from Japanese girls! They give chocolate not only to their loved ones，but also to men such as bosses (老板) and male(男性的) friends.

The Japanese first celebrated White Day in 1978.Now it is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan，China.

First Frenchman： I once heard someone shout, "Look out." I put my head out of a window and a bucket (桶) of water fell on me. It seems that "Look out" may mean "Don't look out".

Second Frenchman： I was once on a ship and heard the captain shout, "All hands on deck(甲板)." I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them.

Third Frenchman： I once went early in the morning to the doctor's and his nurse came to the door and said, "He's not up yet. Come back in half an hour." When I went a second time for him, She said, "He's not down yet." I had to go away again. Later I thought the doctor should be in the house in the evening, so I went there once more. "Oh, how sorry I am! He's not in! I'd better tell him to wait for you if you could come tomorrow," said the nurse. "Well! He's not up, he is not down, and he is not in. Please tell me where he stays!" I said angrily.
