People need water to survive. Almost everything on the earth needs water. We can imagine what will be like if we don’t drink any water on a summer day. In fact, water makes a considerable part of your weight and it helps you survive.

6. There is another aspect of flying we must now know about, that is flying speeds. There are, in fact, tow kinds of speed: the ground speed, which is the actual speed of the plane in relation to the ground, and the air speed, which is the speed relative to the air. These are two quite different things.
Let us go back to the kite for a moment. If, in still air, you run with a kite at five miles per hour, its ground speed will be five miles per hour because that is the actual speed at which you are pulling it over the ground. Now, suppose you are running at five miles per hour. The ground speed will still be the same but, because the air is passing the kite at ten miles per hour, the air speed of the kite will be ten miles per hour; that is , the speed at which you are running plus the speed of the air blowing past the kite. Stand still with your kite in the same breeze. Its ground speed is now nothing, but the air is passing the kite at five miles per hour, so its air seed is five miles per hour.
Ground speed decides how long an plane will take to fly from one place to another. Air speed provides the lifting force and the drag. Your kite will remain in the air in a good breeze even if you stand still, and you will still feel the drag on the string.
36. In fact, there are two kinds of speed:
one is the ground speed, the other is ____.
A. flying speed B. full speed
C. air speed D. first speed
37. What’s the ground speed if you run with a kite at five miles per hour in still air.
A. It will be five kilometers per hour.
B. It will be more than five kilometers per hour.
C. It will be five miles per hour.
D. It will be five feet per hour.
38. According to the passage, what is the running speed plus the air speed of the kite?
A. Ten miles an hour B. Five miles an hour
C. At least five meters. D. More than ten miles
39. Air speed provides _____ and drag.
A. motive force B. wind force
C. lifting force D. constant force
40. How many different things does the writer talk about.
A. Three. B. Two. C. One. D. Four.

Do you speak English?
你会讲英语吗？
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke ring the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'

A polite request
彬彬有礼的要求
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!

Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
“剧马上就要开演了，”我说。
“也许已经开演了呢，”苏珊回答说。
我匆匆赶到售票处，问：“我可以买两张票吗？”
“对不起，票已售完。”那位姑娘说。
“真可惜！”苏珊大声说。

One man in a boat
独坐孤舟
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
钓鱼是我特别喜爱的一项运动。我经常一钓数小时却一无所获，但我从不为此烦恼。有些垂钓者就是不走运，他们往往鱼钓不到，却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾。我的运气甚至还不及他们。我什么东西也未钓到过 -- 就连旧靴子也没有。我总是在河上呆上整整一上午，然后空着袋子回家。“你可别再钓鱼了！”我的朋友们说，“这是浪费时间。”然而他们没有认识到重要的一点，我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣，我感兴趣的只是独坐孤舟，无所事事！
