Nearly all our food comes from the soil（土地）. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter（粪）from animals also falls on it. All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers（化肥）are also very useful. The same crop（庄稼）should not be grown in the same place every year, it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good. （ ）1. Which of the following is true? A. All our food comes from the soil. B. Most of our food comes from soil. C. None of our food comes from the soil.

1. Social Activities Are Important
As we know, studying is an important thing, especially (尤其)for students. Many people think that we should spend more time in studying than doing social school activities, but in my opinion, doing social activies is as important as studying lessons. Firstly, the purpose（目的） of studying is to contribute to（贡献） the society, and social activities are the standards（标准） of examining studying. Secondly, social activities can make us know what our weak point is and what we should learn in the future. For example, if I find that I cannot use the computer in the social activities while others all can, I will learn it, which will be useful to us in the future. Finally, doing social activities is also a way of resting for us after studying.
So doing social activities is a good partner of studying. We should make good use of（很好地利用） the relation (联系)between them.
（）1. According to the passage, which one is TRUE? A. Studying is more important than doing activities. B. Doing social activities is the most important thing for us. C. Studying needs much longer time.
D. Studying and doing social activities can help each other. ( ) 2. The underlined word “Finally” means _____. A. At last
B. What’s more C. At the same time D. In fact
2. Learn from Lei Feng
Last Sunday, we got a kind of special(特别的) homework. It was to clean rooms for old people. It was very cold and windy that day. But we didn’t mind it at all, and worked very hard. Some of us cleaned the windows, and the others swept（扫） the floor. We were singing and talking while doing all of these.
When we were working happily, we were suddenly in trouble. There was something wrong with the tap（水龙头）, so we had no water to use. Our monitor had to go to buy a new one. After about one hour it was all right. We could go on working. At last, all the rooms were tidy（整洁的）. We felt very happy when the old people called us “The little Lei Feng”.
We didn’t finish the work until five pm. When I got home, I felt very tired. After supper I went to bed and fell asleep quickly.

Others say it is exciting. Whatever you may think, bungee jumping has become a popular extreme(极端的adj.) sport all over the world.

Bungee jumping is not a new activity. Men on Pentecost Island in South Pacific Ocean have been doing land jumping for hundreds of years.
