　　Have you ever heard of a girl of 15, who set up a company of her own? Wendy Wong is the girl. She started the business two years ago. She has already written several successful computer games. They are so popular that over half a million games are sold every year. Now all of her family work in her business, and she is still at school. She gets up early in the morning, and then she talks with her family about the business over breakfast. Every day she goes to school in her own car with a driver, for she is not old enough.

　　She enjoys her school, but some of the work is too easy for her to feel interested. She usually gets „A‟ grades in all her subjects, so the other students often ask her for help.

　　She finished her homework in half an hour after her driver takes her home. After dinner, she goes to her office and goes on working on her computer, writing games until 2 am. She does not usually need so much sleep as other children.

　　根据短文内容，回答问题。

　　Some people want to be shot into space after their death, others want to lie deep under the sea. But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏库).These are believers in cryogenics(低温冷冻学).

　　Now some diseases can‟t be cured, but they may be cured sometime in the future. So some people hope that their bodies can be frozen after they die. When a cure is found, warm up his or her body, bring it back to life and take the cure. Once the body is frozen, it is kept in liquid nitrogen(液态氮) at a temperature of 328 degrees below zero.

　　Now around a thousand people are going to take cryogenic treatment(处理), though most scientists say it won‟t work. If we freeze huge creatures(生物) like humans, every one of their cells(细胞) will be broken. Can they be brought back to life in the future?

　　根据短文内容回答下列各问题。

　　7. Where do most people hope that their bodies are kept after their death? _________________________________________

　　8. Why do they want the world to keep their bodies well? _________________________________________

　　9. How do scientists usually keep a dead man‟s body? _________________________________________

　　Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

　　Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

　　So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).

　　1. Satellites travel __________.

　　A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere

　　2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?Because _...

　　Once Goethe, the great German poet, was walking in a park. He was thinking about something when he noticed he came to a very, very narrow road. Just at that time, a young man came towards him from the other end of the road. It was too narrow for both of them to pass through at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other for a while.

　　There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions (比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year.

　　Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers‟ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

　　But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

　　At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the ...

　　Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.

　　He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”

　　“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I‟ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They‟ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”

　　He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.

　　But four days later, he returned home.

　　“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn‟t you enjoy country life?”

　　“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”

　　“Oh. What?”

　　“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”

　　“What‟s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”

　　“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.” “Lucky you!”

　　“You don‟t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinn...
