You can almost make sure that the most of native English speakers have read this book at least once.Mieko and

28、the Fifth Treasure - Eleanor CoerrThis book is not really so famous, but it is on the recommended book list. Whats great about “Mieko and the Fifth Treasure Eleanor Coerr” is that its short.

29、o if you are learning English, the level wont be so difficult. This book will keep you interested as you will learn many interesting things about Japan and its culture.- 6 -The outsiders - S. E. HiltonThis short novel is perfect for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. It has modern topic a

30、nd common teenager problems that people around the world have experienced.There are very few cultural notes in this, which means you dont need much background information.

31、ifficulty.Thirteen Reasons Why - Jay AsherThis story takes place in the present, which means the writer writes using simple grammar. All sentences are short and the vocabulary is relatively easy.The interesting grammar and short paragraphs makes this a quick and easy book for ESL (English as a Secon

32、d Language) learners. This is an award-winning book and on the NY Times best book list, so its worth a read.51. If a ten-year-old American boy is interested in culture, which book will you recommend?A. The outsiders B. Thirteen Reasons WhyC. Charlottes Web D. Mieko and the Fifth Treasure52. Which of

33、 the following is TRUE?A. All these books are still popular among adults.B. Not all the books are aimed at native English speakers.C. Teenager problems are discussed in Thirteen Reasons Why.D. Most of the sentences in Charlottes Web are relatively long.BThe pills we take to treat anxiety may affect

34、the behavior of fish, new research in the journal Science suggests.Swedish researchers found a common drug in rivers downstream of wastewater treatment plants. It is a drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not de

35、signed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up in wildlife, reaching harmful levels.“Its something we dont think about very often, but there are a lot of similarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologi

36、st at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-altering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream.The researchers let perch（鲈鱼）swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plant

37、s. “The perch - 7 -preferred to swim alone rather than in large groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Ume University in Sweden, who helped lead the research. Johsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they ate more plankton（浮游生物）

38、 or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for their activities. This could reduce the population of plankton.” The result could be more algae（水藻） . On the other hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they a

39、re likely to be eaten by them.None of the scientists is suggesting that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would

40、 be too expensive for some communities.Bryan Brooks, director of the Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor University, said drugs could also be designed to break down more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unu

41、sed drugs at government locations. Brooks said hes particularly concerned about drug effects on aquatic（水生的）environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the

42、 problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatment and industrial regulations.53. Which of the following is similar to the underlined word “bolder” in paragraph 2?A. stronger B. braver C. weaker D. calmer54. What will happen if perch become adventurous?A. They will eat more algae.

43、B. They will need more oxazepam.C. There will be less plankton. D. Their natural enemies will be stronger.55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. More wastewater treatment plants are neededB. Fish in wastewater become more adventurousC. Drugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildli

44、feD. Anxiety drugs found in rivers change the behavior of fishCIf you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.Perhaps the

45、biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to - 8 -save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get

46、 a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but onc

47、e you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies ten

48、d to prefer candidates who have a college degree. Whats more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other

49、similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as we
