    For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants —the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark (树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal (药用) values of some plants. Let's look at some examples.
    Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.
    In some areas, malaria has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.
    In Germany, some scientists studied garlic (大蒜) for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque (血小板) because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.
    As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent.

（1）、What can foxglove be used for?

A、Studying plants B、Building up the plaque. C、Treating AIDS and cancer. D、Preventing heart problems.

（2）、What does the underlined word “malaria” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?

A、A drug. B、A plant. C、An illness. D、An animal.

（3）、How many plants are mentioned in the passage?

   It's still the holiday season and students in the UK are enjoying their winter break (休假).
   Tiffany in Guangdong asks us about how British students spend their winter break.
   For some, it's a time to study because they have exams next term. Some might have to study. They have to read some books. They use the winter break to catch up with(赶上) their reading. But some students can Let their hair down and celebrate Christmas and New Year with a few drinks.
   This holiday is also an important time to chat with the family and maybe get some sleep too. Some lucky students are going away on holiday but it won't be long.

      Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.
      School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
      It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.
    Great scientists before us didn't get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn't even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.

I started a new hobby this year. My hobby is collecting insects(昆虫). I like insects. They are interesting, and they can be very beautiful.

I find insects in many different places, such as the yard (院子) around my house or the park near my school. When I see a new insect, I put it in a glass bottle. I look at it very carefully. If it's small. I use a magnifying glass（放大镜）. Then I try to find out what kind of insect it is. I have a lot of books about insects to help me. After that, I draw a picture of it in my notebook. I also write its name，the date and where I found it. Finally, I take it back to the same place and let it go. I don't keep it. Some day, I want to be an entomologist. That's a person who studies insects. Then my hobby will be my job!
