Swimming is very popular. People like swimming in summer because water makes people feel cool. If you like swimming but in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, a lot of people died when they were enjoying themselves in the water, and most of them were students. Because some people are not careful in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing will happen to them in water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming in summer, dont forget that better swimmers have died in water.

Today there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050, there may be 12.5 billion. There are a lot of people to feed. We need more food.

One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material(遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (转基因食品), or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.

GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, and then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.

1. GM foods are made by ____.

A. farmers B. workers C. scientists D. plants

2. What are the good things about GM foods ____.

A. They make plants strong against diseases

B. They are unnatural

C. They can help in human diseases

D. Both A and C

3. GM foods ____.

A. are a quick way to produce food

B. grow in the wild

C. are safe

D. are grown only in rich countries

4. Why do some people not like GM foods? ____.

A. They are not useful B. They are not helpful

C. They are not natural D. They are not cheap

5. From the reading we know that ____.

A. GM foods will disappear one day in the future

B. GM foods will not disappear in the future

C. people will not be interested in GM foods

D. People will have to stop using GM foods

(D)

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.

1. ____, our world is becoming much smaller.

A. Thanks to science development

B. Because of the rise in pollution

C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night

D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year

4. Why is air pollution the most serious kind of pollution? ____.

B. Because it makes us angry more easily

C. Because it makes our river and lakes dirty

D. Because its bad for all living things in the world

5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? ____.

A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution

B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does

C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth

D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motor bike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2
