April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994. Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls’ horizons(视野)and raise their self-confidence. For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive(主管),” says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.” Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls, in north London, has made the day a necessary part of careers education.
Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer’s office this year’s Take Our Daughters to Work Day. “I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial.” she said. Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It’s really strange seeing Mum at work –running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always like this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the direction.

Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason. Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s idea about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.
47. Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was______. A. learned from some European countries B. not only limited to the U.S. C. no longer popular
D. somewhat similar to the European style
48. Which of the following best describes the character of the house that Wright designed?
A. They were very large and beautiful. B. They were very comfortable. C. They could be used as churches.

A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings. B. A building must have grassland around it.
C. American style in architecture should be different from European’s. D. Design should be more important than use.
50. Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s “grass-land houses”? A. The lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland. B. The lines of “grass-land houses” are horizontal.
C. The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green. D. They are different from European style houses. 51. The best title for this passage would be ______.

Chemicals used for industrial processes often crate dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has risen heavily in the past few years, as more areas of the world industrialize and new products are produced. Over 80, 000 different chemicals are used in industries world wide. Around the world hundreds of millions of tons of harmful waste are produced each year. Often, it is difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way that does not endanger human life and the environment.
Every year, major health problems result from harmful waste. Sadly, it is often after someone has died or, become seriously ill that governments will take actions and reduce levels of dumped harmful waste. In 1989, a school in New Jersey had to be closed because students there had suffered too much exposure（暴露） to chromium(铬). It was later learned that large amounts of chromium had been dumped nearby and blown over to the school area.
Research has been done to provide information on the effects of every chemical. Because waste chemicals often mix together, it will also be necessary to learn how the combinations of these chemicals affect human health.
Some governments have realized how serious the problem is and are making laws to get rid of harmful waste. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.
Not only governments but the public as well must form part of the solution. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of harmful waste, attempt to affect policymakers, and produce less harmful waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods. 52. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The effect of every chemical B. Problems of harmful waste.
C. Chemical used for industrial processes. D. Events related to waste chemicals. 53. From the text we know that_______
A. Chromium can poison people when there is a wind
B. Chromium pollution makes the local government close the school
C. some governments don’t realize how serious the problems are until people suffer a lot from harmful waste
D. about two-thirds of the waste can pollute the environment
54. Which of the following least matches the solution the writer refers to? A. Chemicals used for industrial processes should be banned.
B. People can make use of the existing technologies and methods to reduce the waste.
C. Policymakers make laws to limit the production of harmful waste. D. People choose not to buy products which may produce harmful waste. 55. The writer of the text thinks that ______.
A. governments should have forbidden the production of waste chemicals
B. mixed waste chemicals can always be stored without endangering people C. industries must not produce waste chemicals which harm people so much D. everyone can do something to help solve the problem of waste chemicals

One possible version:
Recently we did a survey about the diet and food safety for middle school students. To our surprise, we found many students cared little about their health. They like to have snacks, and street food becomes their favourite. Also they choose food that tastes good without studying its storage life. What’s more, some students go to school without having breakfast. They lack the basic knowledge of food safety.
It’s an important period for our growth in middle school. We should form a good habit of dieting. We’d better arrange three meals properly, especially our breakfast and balance our diet. Moreover, a good knowledge of food safety is essential. Last but not least, we should focus on food production date and its nutrition before choosing it.
In conclusion, middle school students should improve our awareness of food safety for the sake of our health.
