24、upon a single international language that everyone would be able to speak and understand. In the United Nations there are five official languagesEnglish, Chinese, Russian, French and Spanish. How about making one of them into an international language? English has been worked on for this purpose. A
25、basic word list of 850 English words named Basic English was made. These are the only verbs in the entire list: “come, go, give, keep, let, do, put, make, say, be, seem, may, will, have, send. “Writing in Basic English may require you to use a great number of wordsas in having to say “it came to my
26、ear“ instead of “I heard“t you can still say anything you want to with just 850 different words and a few suffixes and prefixes. This is a much smaller number of words to have to be memorized than ordinary words offered to students of a foreign language.But people have always had a need to do more t
27、han simply “tell it as it is“. Language is for reporting not only one s work. For this, a language needs all kinds of grammar and style that throw back its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows.

28、our face? Perhaps not, but this is how peoplereal peopleare.

31、Basic English is easier for the students learning English.D.Languages are like mirrors which can show the growth of the mankind.BB/BYoung people and older people do not always agree. They some- times have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York Sta
32、te, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works severalhours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in
33、the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit a
34、round and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If some- one breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “W
35、hy did it happen? What should we do about it?“One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.“（分数：4.00）(1).In one special programme in New York State, young and older people_.（分数：1.00）A.teach one another new w

The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes
39、hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind, makes you cool.Of course, scientist
40、s cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt.?“ scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks (裂开). Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers car
41、ry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean.? The ocean does not get more salty every year.“ Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.（分数：4

If we dont sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable (易怒的).It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional rest. We need to rest our bodies and our min
45、ds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy.Each night we alternate (交替) between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep.
