What is colour? Why do some objects look red, others green, others blue? Colour is caused by reflected(反射) light rays. We see colour because object reflects light. Something that is red reflects mostly red light. (It reflects a little green or blue light, too, but we do not see it.) In the same way, green object reflects mostly green light, white object reflects all colours of light. Black object does not reflect any light.
What happens to the colour of light that are not reflected? They are taken in by the object. The darker the colour, the less light is reflected and the more light is taken in (吸收). Light that is taken in is turned into heat. For this reason, dark-coloured clothes are warmer in the sunlight than light-coloured clothes.
56.Colour is caused by _______ .
A.the object itself B.the light around an object
C.reflecting light D.taking in only red light
57.Something looks red because it _______ .
A.reflects mostly red light B.takes in mostly red light

C.many different colours D.no light
59.Light that is taken in is _______ .
A.turned into heat B.stored by the object
C.reflected later D.disappeared completely
60.In the sunlight, the warmest clothes would he _______ .
A.white B.yellow C.dark-coloured D.light-coloured

Chicago—lying in the west of the USA—is a rather young American city. It was almost completely rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1871. One's first impression of the city may include streams of cars running to and from on the highway, skyscrapers and the wide green water of Lake Michigan, which lies to the northeast of the city. The area of the city is over 228 square miles with a population of about 3 million.
The climate of Chicago on the whole is almost the same as that of Beijing with rather hot days in summer, colorful and fresh days in fall and icy but often clear days in winter. The spring in Chicago is a little changeable in temperature. For instance, I saw a snowfall in early April this year while some flowers were already in full bloom. Chicago is also famous for its frequent strong winds, and as a result has got the name of " the Windy City ".

When is a horse a pony?
Horses are measured in hands: one hand equals 4 inches. The height of a horse is measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the part of a horse's back between its shoulder blades). Any horse under 14 hands 2 inches (58 inches)is a pony. By this definition, a baby horse is not a pony; baby horses are called foals. Horses that do not develop to roughly the same size as the rest of their breed are not ponies either. Underdeveloped horses are called runts.
There are more than twenty breeds of ponies in the world. The best-known are the Shetlands, the smallest of all breeds, which average a little less than 10 hands, about 39 inches.
Shetlands were first used in England as work animals in coal mines, because they were strong. They are also gentle, and may be trained to be good pets.
69.The withers is a part of a horse's ________.
A.back B. legs C. head D. neck
70.A pony is any horse that ________.
A.is smaller than others of its breed B.is smaller than fifty-eight inches
C.is a baby D. all of the above
71.The best title for this selection is ________.

Dear Miss Carrie,
I'm writing to you to ask for sick leave.
Last Saturday I went swimming in the swimming pool and I was caught in a rain-shower on the way home. That night I had a headache. My father took my temperature and found I had got a high fever. He took me to see a doctor the next day. The doctor said I had a bad cold and asked me to stay in bed for three days. So I can't come to school today and I can't take part in the table tennis match to be held on Tuesday, either.
Yours ever,
Jean
