Normally, you turn right from the right lane(车道). But if you are driving in Melbourne, Australia, watch out for the “hook turn” signs and be prepared to turn right from the left lane.
Hook turns were first used in the city of Melbourne in 1954. They require vehicles to turn right from the far left, rather than the
middle of the road, to make way for the city's most important transport: trams(电车). That also saves the need for extra traffic lanes.
To do a hook turn, you must follow these steps:
1. When the traffic light is green, enter the intersection(十字路口) from as near as possible to the left. If there is not enough room, wait for the next green light.
2. Move forward until your vehicle is as near as possible to the far side of the road you're entering. Remember to keep away from the pedestrian crossing on your way.
3. Stay unmoved until the traffic light on the road you are entering changes to green.
4. Turn right quickly into the road.
Isn't it weird? Some people think so. So they avoid driving on Melbourne's streets sometimes.
Hook Turns in Melbourne
•Hook turns first appeared in Melbourne in 16.________.
•You must do a hook turn when the traffic light is 17.________.
•To enter the intersection your vehicle must be as near as possible to the 18.________ side of the road.
•You must turn right 19.________ while doing hook turns.

Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece, there are the ruins(废墟) of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths, too. In some baths, as many as 3,000 people could take a bath at the same time.
Treating disease by taking baths has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in early modern Europe, and by the late 1700s, it had also become popular in the United States.
For many years, frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells.
During the 1700s, doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bath more frequently. During the Victorian era of the late 19th century, taking baths on Saturday night became common.
In the United States, ordinary bathing became popular very slowly. In the 18th century, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed.” In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days. That was a law!
Today, bathing is partly seen as a matter of habit in the United States. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors believe that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. Therefore, people in the United States tend to take baths more often.
4.Who built a water system for baths over 3,000 years ago?
A.The Romans. B.The Greeks.
C.The Americans. D.The Europeans.
5.What kind of bathing came up in early modern Europe?
A.Ancient medical bathing.
B.Modern medical bathing.
C.Frequent bathing with soap.
D.Ordinary bathing with soap.
6.What did doctors think of being clean during the 1700s?
A.Unimportant. B.Unnecessary.
C.Good for health. D.Bad for health.

Crossing the street in China's big cities can be as dangerous as crossing a river filled with crocodiles. Cars making right turns at intersections seldom slow down, motor bikes scoot(冲) through red lights, and pedestrians—who seem to think they are Iron Man—jaywalk with a careless indifference to their own safety.
________, thousands of people are killed and many more are injured every year on city streets nationwide. Most of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented if everyone just obeyed the traffic laws. But that is the big problem: Everyone knows the rules, but they just choose to ignore(忽视) them.
Shanghai has had some success in reducing traffic deaths by placing more police at intersections and issuing onthespot fines(开现场罚单) to motorists and jaywalkers. However, Beijing has decided on a softer approach to the problem—dancing and singing!
Since April, they've introduced the “Dengdeng” or “Wait for the Light” dance. Volunteers, mostly damas and young children, dance and sing the “Dengdeng” song, which includes the words “Wait a little longer, and be happy for a
lifetime”, to discourage jaywalkers. The volunteers then go into the intersection to sing their song to make sure motorists obey the red light.
This softer way to discourage law breakers is more peoplefriendly and is more likely to get people to cooperate, at least in the short run. It will be interesting to see if people will continue to pay attention to the “Dengdeng” dancers after the novelty (=newness) wears off. Will city people, who always seem to be in a hurry, begin to ignore the volunteers and their safety message? And will motorists begin to see the volunteers as just another obstacle(障碍) they have to drive around—or over?
8.What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A.What the streets in China's big cities are like.
B.How Chinese people cross the streets in big cities.
C.Why it is dangerous to cross the streets in China's big cities.
D.There are different ways to cross the streets in China's big cities.
9.What can we put in the blank “________”?
A.To our surprise
B.As a result
C.As we all know
D.To tell you the truth
10.Which of the following is TRUE about “Dengdeng” dance?
A.There must be a policeman at the traffic lights.
B.There are all kinds of people dancing in the street.
C.The dancers don't sing any words to jaywalkers.
D.It may do good to the motorists or the jaywalkers.
11.What might the writer worry about most according to Paragraph 5?
A.The dancers' safety.
B.The novelty of the dance.
C.The safety message.
D.The obstacle to motorists.

Great white sharks are known as one of the most dangerous creatures on earth. But according to a shocking new study, great white sharks are also one of the most endangered species. Wildlife experts say there are now fewer than 3,500 great white sharks left in the oceans, making them rarer(更稀有的) than tigers.
Great white sharks can grow to 20 feet in length, weigh up to 5,000 pounds and are found in any warm coastal waters. Most, however, live off the coasts of California, Mexico, Australia and South Africa. Although they were once thought to be “eating machines,” recent research has shown they are also skilled hunters, attacking fish and seals from below.
Scientists at Stanford University have found that great white sharks are incredible longdistance swimmers. They could travel 12,000 miles in nine months. The research showed that sharks seen swimming around Hawaii were the same ones seen off the coast of California just six months later.
Dr. Ronald O'Dor said the number of great white sharks in the wild was far smaller than scientists realized. “The total population of great white sharks in the world's oceans is actually smaller than the number of tigers,” he said. “People once thought sharks were bad and there was no need to save great white sharks. But now, people are beginning to understand that they are rare and that they are a wonderful species.”
Great white sharks were made infamous by the film Jaws, but they rarely attack people. Each year, they are responsible for five to ten attacks on people. Some shark experts say attacks on people are usually done by accident—with the creatures mistaking people for seals.
12.Which of the following words are suitable to describe great white sharks?
①dangerous ②rare ③powerful ④clumsy(笨拙的) ⑤skillful
A.①②③ B.②③⑤
C.①②③⑤ D.①②④⑤
13.Which of the following statements about great white sharks is TRUE?
A.They often attack humans without any notice.
B.They are so strong that people cannot threaten them.
C.They are unable to swim long distances near the beach.
D.Part of the wrong idea about them comes from movies.
14.The article mainly wants to tell the readers ________.
A.the real danger of great white sharks
B.how the lives of great white sharks have changed
C.the importance of protecting great white sharks
D.more detailed information about great white sharks
15.Where can we most probably read this article?
A.In a science magazine.
B.In a guidebook.
C.On a business website.
D.On a notice board.

How to respect our parents
Nowadays, many students are the only child in their family. They care only about themselves and have little understanding
of their parents. Whenever they are faced with setbacks, they will blame their parents for their mistakes, even if sometimes their parents have nothing to do with the incident.
Parents are the ones who provide us with love, wish us great success and devote most of their lives to our growth and education. To pay back their invaluable devotion, we will let each student tell a moving story which happened between him/her and his/her parents. Speaking of respecting parents, the least we can do is to talk to our parents patiently. What's more, we should not bring them unhappiness. Our efforts and determination to improve their lives are of the greatest meaning to them, though they may seem little compared with the love we have received from our parents.
All in all, it's very important for us to learn to respect our parents.
