    Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man's new best friends.

    What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue (援救) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small space. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

    How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

    Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. "Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that," says a scientist. Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity.

    The "rat project" is not finished, but a scientist says, "It would be fantastic. A rat could get into space we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe." Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).

(1)、In the writer's opinion, rats will become man's best friends because they can__________.
A、serve as food for people B、help rescuers to find living people C、be lovely D、completely replace man in many rescue jobs
(2)、What does the underlined word "this" refer to?
A、An earthquake. B、The rat has smelt a person. C、The rat's brain activity jumps. D、The rat has found a robot.
(3)、Which of the following is NOT true?
A、Rats don't need electricity. B、Rats are better than robots when smelling. C、Rats are as clever as robots. D、Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.
(4)、Why does the "rat project" sound great according to the passage?
A、Because rats can get into very small space. B、Because rats have better noses than dogs. C、Because rats don't look like robots. D、Because rats are very brave.
(5)、Which is the best title for this passage?
A、Ways of saving people B、Rats and robots C、After an earthquake D、Rats for rescue

It was the last day of my summer holiday in Spain. I was staying with my family in the south of Spain. It was a very nice 1 with lots to see, such as a very big castle(城堡)and a very interesting museum. Every morning before we 2 our busy day, I would get up early and go to the market to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. 3 I became friends with the market traders who were 4 to see me and greeted(打招呼)me with friendly smiles. So, on that day I had my camera with me and I asked some market traders to stand 5 for a photo. "Of course!" they replied. And they got 6 for me to take the photo. I was looking 7 my camera and walking backwards when suddenly, I 8 to the ground and at the same time knocked a stall(货摊)over. All the produce(农产品)went flying into the air and fell on top of 9 . But it wasn't fruit. It was hundreds of very small 10 and they were all over me. I was very dirty. 

I went red as a beetroot(脸涨得通红)! Everyone in the market burst out laughing which made me very 11 at first. But in the end, I saw the funny 12 of it and started laughing too. I gave the man at the fish stall my 13 , and he took a photo of me covered in fish. I laugh every time I look at that 14 and I don't think it was a very 15 experience at all.

Nowadays, a lot of people often find it very hard to fall asleep at night. Why do they often have this problem? Because they are usually under too much {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (压力) from their work and life. In fact, the color of their bedroom walls can help {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (解决) this problem. 

Grey may be the most popular color at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (现在),but painting your bedroom grey could actually stop you from getting your eight {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (小时) sleep. Grey should not be considered when you want to decorate (装饰) your bedroom, according to a sleep expert at mattress company called Sealy. And {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (虽然) it's dark while you are sleeping in your room, the light from streetlamps and an untidy room could both {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (影响) your sleep. If you want to paint the walls of your bedroom, you should {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (避免) grey and other colors like red, brown and purple. 

Sealy told Femail, "While your room is dark when you go to sleep, you may {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (花费) an hour or more in your bedroom with the light on before going to sleep. At this time, the color of your bedroom can prevent you from going to sleep. The color that is too bright can make you feel {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (激动的), which can last long after you've turned the light off and can no longer see the color. The best choice of the color for your bedroom is blue, which is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (容易地) picked up by ganglion(神经节细胞) in the retinas(视网膜) of your eyes. The cells then send a message directly to your brain, telling you that you're in a calm environment.

Monday began as usual. It wasn't until the third- graders reached their classroom that they noticed a new 1 . She was tall and straight with grey hair and witch's cold eyes, carrying a plant and a book.

"I'm Miss Orville. I've taught for forty- six years," she warned."I know lots of your tricks (恶作剧), 2 I advise you to try none. You' re to be in my charge until your teacher returns. Since I don't know you, let me look at your 3 first. Completed it? Take it out. Now!"

" You call THIS homework?" R-r- rip! A page was torn out and thrown at 4 owner. " Do it again."

 Roger opened his schoolbag. 5 , it fell off. Books, pencils spilled out. Cards, toys, balls..." Ah, we've come to play, have we?" She fixed her witch's gaze on him.

 The third grade was the last to 6 school. The children looked strangely defeated. Roger pulled his mother," We don't have a new teacher but a witch(巫婆) named Miss Awful. Hurry, I have much homework!"

 Finally, on Friday Miss Orville said, " Your teacher will return. This afternoon will be my7 class." At lunch, the third grade talked about nothing except how to 8 Miss Awful. Joey suggested," We could tie a rope in front of the door. She would fall down if she walked over."

" No. She's old," Roger said." We 9 hurt her like that."

" How about taking off the 10 of that plant?" advised someone.

 Roger didn't want to do that, not understanding why. It was a feeling he couldn't explain.

" Well, you worked hard last week," Miss Orville began her class. " Attending school is like a priceless gift. If I've been 11 , it was for your benefit. The world needs good people..."

 She stopped suddenly, staring at the plant 12 its leaves. She faced the class, looking sad.

" Whoever is responsible, I only wish you to be 13 ."

 After class, she said goodbye to the students. They ran out, some regretful, some silent, others cheerful. Only Roger stayed behind. He 14 her, rubbing his hand up and down his coat." Yes?" Miss Orville asked. " Flower, f-l-o-w-e-r. Castle, c-a-s-t-l-e. I've learned 15 you taught us." He smiled to Miss Awful whose eyes were wet.
