first, more and more reserveoirs were built, but the need for water increased more quickly than the speed at which reservoirs could be built. in 1937 they had seventeen reservoirs with a capacity of 394 million cubic meters and they were getting a further 882 million cubic meters from china. in 1937 a huge reservoir had been finished at plover cove. this was the first reservoir in the world to be made by building a dam across a sea inlet. the seawater was pumped out and fresh water was allowed to flow into it. in this way, another 230 million cubic meters of water could be stored .in 1979 the well-known high island reservoir was completed. it had a storage capacity of 237 million cubic meters. it was also designed like the plover cover reservoir with dams across a sea inlet.1 .in what way has water been a problem to hong kong?a. the biggest problem to solve indeedb. they have plenty of rain in summerc. sometimes they had too much and sometimes too littled. in the past they had not enough but now they have too much.2. at the time when there was not enough water for living they _.a. decided to build more and more reservoirsb. turned the taps on only four days every fourth dayc. had to close the taps all day longd. didnt let most of the rain run into the sea3. why is it a good idea to use sea inlets for reservoirs?

do you like yeow, orange and red? if you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. do you prefer grey and blue? then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. if you love green, you are likely to be strong-minded and determined. you wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. at least this is what psychologists tell us. they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effects that colors have on human beings. they tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. if you happen to love brown, you do so as soon as you open your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.black is depressing while light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. a yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one does, and a red dress adds warmth and cheer to sad winter days. it is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a few colorful things. also remember that you will know your friends (and your enemies) better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. and dont forget that anyone can guess a lot about you when you choose a piece of handkerchief.1. according to the passage, mens 110-meter hurdles olympic champion and world record holder liu xiang is most likely to love the color _.a. black b. green c. grey d. brown2. why are machines painted orange in some factories, according to the passage?a. because workers tend to prefer orange to other colors.b. because other colors are forbidden in factories.c. because orange machines are easier to clean.d. because less accidents happen due to the introduction of orange machines.3. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. its possible to cheer you up by enjoying some colorful pictures.b. you can know your friends better through the color they like or dislike.c. some people are born with their colorful preference.d. ones color preference is always changeable.4. the underlined word depressing in paragraph 2 probably means _.a. discouraging b. happy c. surprising d. bravebthat little “a” with circle curling around it that is found in e-mail addresses is most common only referred to as the “a” symbol.surprisingly though, there is no official , universal name for this sign. there are dozens of strange terms(術(shù)語) to describe the symbol. before it became the standard symbol for electronic mail, the symbol was used to represent the cost or weight of something. for instance, if you purchased 6 apples, you might write it as 6 apples $1.10each. with the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the symbol. the symbol or the “at” sign separates a persons online user name from his mail server address. for instance, joe . its widespread use on the internet made it necessary to put this symbol on keyboards in other countries that have never seen or used the symbol before. as a result ,there is really no official name for this symbol. however, the actualoriginofthe symbolremainsa secret. its said that during the middle ages before theinventionofprintingpresses,everyletterofaword hadtobe carved by hand foreachcopyofapublishedbook.so the workers wanted to look for ways to simplify the common words. although the word “at” is quite short to begin with, it was a common enough word in texts and documents that workers thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten the word “at” even more. as a result, they looped (使 成環(huán)狀) the “t” around the “a”.5. where can we usually find the symbol ? _a. in a letter b. in an e-mail c. in an article d. in e-mail addresses6. what was the symbol used to represent first ? _a. the word “at” b. the apple c. the cost or weight of goods d. be careful7. according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?a. the symbol has been used for only a few yearsb. thereisnoofficial,universalnameforthissymbol though its very common.c. the symbol was invented by the persons who often wrote the articles d. the symbol in different countries has different meanings8. the article is written to explain _.a. the meaning of sign” and how it came aboutb. the sign “” is being used widely in the world c. how people use the sign ” in e-mailsd. how people invent the interneta fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. 吃一塹，長一智。（四）aaustralia is a nation of pet lovers but maybe it is loving its pets to death, because pet owners are overfeeding their cats, dogs, etc., the countrys main animals welfare body says. despite its image as a sports-loving country full of fit and bronzed youth, australia in reality is battling with obesity and challenging the united states as the worlds fattest nation. the problem now extends to household pets.obesity rate of australia has doubled over the past 20 years, with 62 percent of men and 45 percent of women overweight. the same trend applies to household pets, with an increase in the number of overweight cats and dogs being dealt with by the royal society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (rspca). its a big problem, and quite reflective of whats happening in the human situation, says mark lawrie, the rspcas chief vet. australia is a nation of about 20 million people, almost 4 million dogs, 2.5 million cats, 8.7 million pet birds and more than 12 million pet fish. it has one of the worlds highest rates of pet ownership: 64 percent of households own pets, compared to 62 percent in the united states and 44 percent in britain.lawrie says that surveys have found that between 40 and 44 percent of dogs and more than one in 3 household cats are now overweight, due to overeating and lack of exercise. fat cats and dogs are much more likely to suffer from heart problems and liver disease. the rspca says low levels of exercise has an impact on pet obesity, but the key problem is overeating.1. the underlined word in the first paragraph obesity most probably means being too _.a. weak b. fat c. fragile d. lonely2. in australia many pets are involved in the problem of obesity due to the fact that_.a. they dislike doing physical exercise b. the owners suffer from the similar problemsc. they are fed too much d. their diet is poor in nutrition3. it is certainly a problem to australians that _.a. there are too many household pets in the country.b. more and more people are becoming overweight.c. they dont know how to deal with overweight pets.d. their country is the worlds fattest nation.4. the best title for the passage might be _.a. loving your pets to death b. love my dogc. how to keep pets d. more exercise, more happinessbthe best shopping in sydneysydney is one of the worlds biggest citiesand has something for everyone when itcomes to shopping. you will find excellentaustralian products alongside the best thatthe world has to offer. at the bottom ofsydney tower, you can shop in 160 ofsydneys favorite stores including 16jewellery stores and many gift and fashionshops. its all at westfield centrepoint.tel: 9231 9300.sovereign hillthis prize-winning living museum is whereaustralias history comes alive! visit dailyor stay for the night and experience life ofthe gold rush days. a wonderful nightlysound and light show, blood on thesouthern cross tells the story of thefamous eureka uprising. enjoy shoppingalong with real life character andentertainment. 4-star hotel and breakfast.tel: 5331 1944anchorage restaurantcome and enjoy our delicious cantoneseseafood right on the waters edge in thehistoric fishing port of williamstown withviews of the city centre across port phillipbay.open 7 days a weeklunch: sunday to friday 11:00 am-2:00 pmdinner: monday to saturday 5:00 pm-10:30 pmtel. 9397 6270 or 9397 7799cooks cottagebuilt by james and grace cook, parents ofcaptain james cook, cooks cottagestands proud in the fitzroy gardens as areminder of life in the eighteenth century,and as a celebration and commemoration of
