To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island—quite a few “No’s”．
There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of blackandwhite TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor (烈酒) on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns, only one jail of thirtyfive cells (狱室) in the entire land—an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.
There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Culf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees to 52 degrees in July.
The rules on television, liquor and guns are the result of government decisions. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all the available power of its hot springs.
Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books are published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first, the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since, “Rather shoeless than bookless, ” they proudly say.
1. The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.
A. there are no soldiers in Iceland
B. the Icelanders don’t drink beer
C. there is no tip of any kind
D. there is no crime in Iceland
2. What is the meaning of the underlined word “geyser”？
A. Coal mine. B. Nuclear power plant.
C. Natural hot spring. D. River or stream.
3. “Rather shoeless than bookless” means ________.
A. they prefer not to have shoes or books
B. they would rather have shoes on than write books
C. they prefer travelling to reading
D. they think books are more important than shoes

The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world’s supply of water. With 97% of the world’s water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world’s agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配) are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling for countries wit
