A
Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. Why aren’t there many factories like the Symi factory?
In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes(冷至结冰)first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out.
Which way is the best ? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way for each place.
Symi’s way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn’t make very much water at a time. But the factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi !
1. From the passage we know that fresh water ________ .
A. is needed in every country B. can be found in many factories
C. can be used in many ways D. is very important for factories.
2. What is the writer mainly talking about in the passage ?

4. Which is the best way for small and hot places to get fresh water ?
A. Boiling or heating the sea water. B. The way in hotter and drier places.
C. The Symi’s way D. Freezing the sea water in cold places.
5. Why aren’t there many factories like the Symi factory ?
A. Because many new ways are tried to get fresh in small, hot places.
B. Because a lot of water can be made quickly by heating in any places.
C. Because people think that the best way is to get more fresh water with the least money.
D. Because the Symi’s way does not work in dry places.

Many people go to school for education. School education is very important and useful ,but no one can learn everything from school. A teacher ,no matter how much he knows ,cannnot teach his student everything .His work is to show his students how to learn .He teaches them how to read and how to think . So much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.
It’s aways more important to know how to learn by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas （公式）by heart. It’s quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in math ,but it’s very difficult to use them. Edison and Einstein didn’t get everything from school,but they were all successful. They invented so many things. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study .They read many books outside school .They worked hard all their lives,wasting not a single moment. The most important thing is that they know how to use their brains（大脑）。
6．Students can’t learn everything in school because _____________.

Which of your hands do you use most? Very few of us use both of our hands well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take things with either of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands. Scientists don’t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think our animal ancestors(祖先) are right-handed. This may not be true. Monkeys are our closest relations in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other—but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You’ll see that some of them will swing(摆动)from their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most human beings(人类) use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for the left-handed ones. We live in a right-handed world.

A. we can’t use one as well as the other B. we can’t use both hands
