Insects are very useful in medicine. Believe it or not, maggots(蛆) are now used in hospitals. When a person gets a very bad injury（受伤）on his body, the dead skin must be removed. Today, doctors are using maggots to eat the dead skin around the injury. Doctors have found that maggots eat only the dead skin, so they make the injury very clean. Many hospitals keep maggots for this purpose.

Another useful insect is the mosquito(蚊子). Often people need medicine, but they live very far away from a doctor. To work out this problem, doctors give medicine to mosquitoes. Then the mosquitoes fly far away, bite people, and give them the medicine.

In the world of medicine and science, fireflies are also useful. Fireflies have something special inside them that makes their bodies shine like lights at night. This can be removed from a firefly’s body and used for medical tests.

Another insect that is useful to humans is the termite(白蚁). In many countries poor people don’t get enough protein(蛋白质) to eat. To solve this problem, scientists have used termites to make protein powder that can be added to food. The termites have a lot of protein, and they are not expensive. In this way many people can receive protein powder that doesn’t cost very much. 66. How are maggots used in hospital?

Snow is ice crystals (冰晶). It forms when the air temperature is at or below 0 C. In order for it to snow, there must also be some water in the air. Scientists showed that no two snowflakes (雪花) are the same. They come in all sizes and shapes. When it is between -2.8 ℃ and 0℃, snowflakes are six-sided. If it is colder, snowflakes will be shaped like needles (针) and stars. Countries including Russia, Canada and some parts of the US have heavy snow in winter. The most snow in one year in record fell in Mount Baker, US. Its total snowfall was 29 meters for the 1998 to 1999 season, according to USA Today. However, in some places, people have never seen snow, such as Singapore, some parts of India and most countries around the equator (赤道).

In China, there is more snow in the north than in the south. The Nanling Mountains, on the border of Guangdong and Hunan provinces, may be the southernmost point in China to have snow. People in provinces such as Hainan don’t get snow.

Other than snowstorms, snowfall is good for human being. Snow helps clean the environment. It cleans up the dust (灰尘) in the air and keeps the environment wet and comfortable.

Snow is also important to farmers. As the Chinese saying goes, “A fall of seasonable snow gives promise of a fruitful year.” Snow can keep the ground warm and protect crops from freezing. Melted (融化的) snow gives enough water to crops. It also lowers the temperature of the ground, killing bad insects in the earth, which helps for a good harvest in the next year.

Snow is usually white. But sometimes you may see snow that is pink, brown, orange or red if the air is filled with dust, pollutants (污染物) or sand. It was reported that orange snow fell in Siberia (西伯利亚) in 2007 and some parts of Russia were covered by pink snow in 2010.

71. When the air temperature is between -2.8 ℃ and 0℃, the snowflakes will be ________.

A. like needles B. six sides C. like stars 72. People in ________ have never seen snow. A. Russia B. Mount Baker C. Singapore

73. There will not be snow in the place which is to the ________ of Nanling Mountains.

A. north B. south C. west 74. Melted snow can’t ________.

A. keeps the ground warm B. help kill bad insects C. give water for crops

75. Which of the following is not true?

A. Snowstorms are good for human being. B. Not all snow is white C. Snow can protect crops from freezing.

Trees are one of the oldest citizens（公民）of our earth. Just like us, trees change a lot when they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns（刺）to tell animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.

When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges in life.

At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.

It is not until the trees are 20 to 25 years old that they become real adults. The trees reach their largest sizes. Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen and natural beauty. If we give them good care, they will go on to live healthily for many years.

As time goes on, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still

have their important place in nature. In many ways, the life of trees is like our own life experience.

How to be a good student

A good student, I think, should be careful in his studies. The more he studies, the more he will increase his knowledge. Without enough knowledge, we cannot make great contributions to our country.

To take care of one's own body is another important thing for a good student to do. Anyone, who hasn't got a strong body, can do nothing for his country, even if he has much knowledge. To have a strong body is really very important for a student.

Lastly, we are sure to meet with many difficulties in our studies. The brave students work hard to overcome them, but the weak ones give up halfway. If we keep on fighting against all difficulties, we shall succeed in the long run. 范文二

How to be a good student

I think everyone would like to be a good student, but how to be a good student?

First, a sense of responsibility is important for building a sound character. If you aren't responsible, you'll postpone your assignments or devote too little time to your schoolwork. Second, in school life, relationships between people are valuable. Friends can bring you happiness and laughter. In addition, you can discuss problems and pursue knowledge with them. Last, it is important to have a constructive philosophy of life. If you are defeated, don't be disappointed. Try to face your life and your studies with courage and determination. If you can work toward these goals, you'll become a good student.
