"Look out!" ---
"Oh, no! I'm hit!" Bright red liquid is running down your shirt.
You're dead.
This is paintball, an exciting
"kill or be killed" action game. Paintguns were originally used by US
forest workers to mark trees. When in the 1980s a few foresters shot the guns
at each other for fun, the game of paintball was born.
Soon rules were made, and
paintball developed into a team game. In an area, such as a field or a wood,
two teams try to capture each other's flag, without getting shot. A player
firing a paintgun hopes the small paint "bullet" will hit his enemy.
If it does, the bullet bursts like a small balloon, leaving a red paint splash
mark. The hit player is then "dead," and is out of the match. It's a
little like "hide and seek," but with shooting skills required.
Players must wear protective goggles over their eyes and ear-covers, to prevent
injury to these areas.
Because the game develops
teamwork and shooting skills, professionals such as the police and the army now
train using special kinds of paintball games. For example, one team may be
terrorists in a building, and the other may be policemen on the street.
Paintball has now reached
Taiwan. So if anyone asks you for a game of paintball, have fun, but be sure to
wear the protective gear. Oh---and watch your back!

CPR is a way of bringing people
back to life when their hearts stop. In an emergency, it can keep them alive
before they are sent to hospital. To perform CPR, you breathe into the
patient's mouth to make his or her lungs work. Then, you push on the heart with
your hands to make it start beating again.
CPR is very helpful, especially
in three kinds of circumstances. The first is when people are having a heart
attack. The second is when people are drowning. In this kind of situation, they
may have water in their lungs and can't breathe well. CPR helps to clear out
the water so they start breathing again. Finally, CPR is useful when people get
an electric shock. If the electricity is to strong, the heart may stop. Without
any help, people can die from the electric shock.
Even though you can find CPR
instructions in a book or magazine, you should really learn from a teacher. It
is important to know that you are doing CPR correctly. If it is not done right,
you can actually hurt the person you are trying to save. Many hospitals and
colleges offer free classes in CPR. If you can't find any classes in your city,
you may even ask a hospital to help you start a class. You never know when you
will need to use CPR. but you might save somebody's life one day.

heartbeat.

him/her breathe again.

第49至52題為題組
The most famous Egyptian pharaoh
is the "boy king" Tutankhamun, who died, aged 17 66 or 18, over 3300
years ago. Although he wasn't as powerful as other pharaohs, his fame is due to
three reasons. The first is that when his tomb was discovered in 1922, it was
filled with treasures, including Tutankhamun's famous gold ‘funeral mask.’
The second reason is the
mysterious curse Tutankhamun is said to have put on anyone entering his tomb.
Several of the people who first entered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 died soon
afterwards. A lot of people still believe the deaths were because of the curse
of Tutankhamun.
The final reason is that
archaeologists still aren't sure how Tutankhamun died. With modern techniques,
new work has been done to try to discover the cause. Originally, scientists
discovered injuries to the back of his head, which might have been caused by an
accidental blow. It might also have been murder. One theory suggests that the
king's successor, Ay, may have been responsible for killing him.
But in March 2005, Egyptian
archaeologist Zahi Hawass found no evidence of a blow to the back of
Tutankhamun’s head. Instead, he found a break in the pharaoh's left leg. Hawass
suggests that a broken leg that became diseased was the cause of Tutankhamun's early
death.
As the debate continues over how
Tutankhamun died, there's one thing we know for sure: because of the treasures
found in his tomb, the memory of this young king will stay alive forever.
( ) 49. This passage is most likely taken from
a _____.
(A) fairy tale (B) geography textbook (C) book critic (D)
travel magazine
( ) 50. Which of the following statements
about Tutankhamun is NOT true?
(A) He died young. (B) He was an
Egyptian pharaoh.
(C) He was born with a broken leg. (D) He became king when
he was still a boy.
( ) 51.
According to the passage, one of the reasons why Tutankhamun is well known is
that _____.
(A) he was buried with a lot of precious
jewels
(B) he died of a mysterious curse
(C) he was murdered by his followers
(D) he is the most powerful pharaoh in the
Egypt history
( ) 52. Which of the following about the
passage is NOT mentioned?
(A) That many died soon after they had
entered Tutankhamun's tomb.
(B) That an archeologist finally proved
that Tutankhamun died of a disease.
(C) That Tutankhamun's tomb was not
discovered until the early 20th century.
(D) That the best-known item of the
treasures found in Tutankhamun's tomb is a gold mask.

With tigers to butterflies
finding shelter beneath the tall rainforest trees, tropical rainforests are
home to a vast number of creatures. Most of the world’s tropical rainforests
are found in South and Central America, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia.
Rainforest trees are huge, often 45 meters high, and have layers of branches
that form the rainforest canopy. There are several levels of canopy in a
rainforest, and the temperature and humidity within one level can often be
quite different from the next level.
Animals living in the
rainforest's highest level can travel large distances without ever climbing
down to the ground. Instead they move about on paths made in the branches of
trees. Even tiny ants have been observed using paths only 3 mm wide.
Sadly, these interesting
environments are in danger of being destroyed by humans. About 80,000 square
kilometers of rainforest are cut down every year, often for fuel or to make
grasslands for cattle. Many trees are also cut down for construction industry,
and sometimes thousands of trees are combined to construct a large modern
building.
The rainforests are essential as
part of the world's eco-system. They provide a home for many creatures, and
help keep our Earth cool and watered. Once the rainforest is gone, the soil
left behind will become too poor and dry to farm with. Animals get endangered
and plants extinct. It is important that people value the rainforests before
they are all destroyed.
( )
53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
(A) The value of
rainforests. (B)
The system of canopy.
(C) The biological
diversity of the rainforests. (D) The
danger of deforestation.
( )
54. Which of the following is NOT the reason human beings cut down trees in
rainforests?
(A) They need the
wood for construction. (B) They
use trees for fuel.
(C) They want the
land to raise cattle. (D)
They want the soil for farming.
( )
55. Which of the following about "canopy" in rainforests is NOT true?
(A) Each level of
canopy is different in humidity.
(B) Canopy is
formed by tree branches.
(C) The highest
level of canopy has the shortest travel distance.
(D) Animals
living there use branches as traveling paths.
( ) 56. The rainforests are important to our
world's eco-system because _____.
(A) many human
beings are sheltered there
(B) they help the
soil remain wet for farming
(C) they protect
animals from danger
(D) they provide
resources for our construction industry
