Antifreeze is a liquid（液体）that is added to water to keep it from freezing. When water freezes and turns to ice, it expands（膨胀）. The force of water expanding is so great that it will break the hardest metal. Water is used in car engines（发动机）to keep them cool while they run, and if this water is allowed to freeze in winter it can break the iron block of the engine. That is why antifreeze is necessary.
Water freezes at 0℃; the usual kind of antifreeze will not freeze until the temperature is -40℃. A mixture（混合物）of five parts of water and four parts of antifreeze will prevent freezing at -18 ℃; four parts of water and five parts of antifreeze reduce this to -22℃.
Alcohol is a kind of good antifreeze, but when the air is running it becomes hot and the alcohol boils away, so it must be changed very often. Most people use antifreeze that does not boil away when the engine is running. There are several chemicals that do this. One of the most popular is called ethylene glycol.

A. antifreeze B. water C. alcohol D. ethylene glycol
( ) 12. The usual kind of antifreeze freezes at ______________.

C. make the freezing point of water lower D. raise the freezing point of water
( ) 14. Besides alcohol, ______________ is another kind of popular antifreeze.
A. water B. ethylene glycol C. any chemical D. any mixture
( ) 15. The text is written to ______________.
A. tell us what antifreeze is B. make people buy antifreeze
C. tell us that cars need antifreeze D. show us how to protect car engines

In winter, when the sun hides behind the clouds, everyone feels a bit low. You may be tired and find you want to sleep all the time. What you may not know is: you are suffering from（患有） SAD（季节性抑郁症）.
But don’t worry—it’s normal. Colder temperatures and fewer hours of daylight can steal your energy and put you in a bad mood.
Read on to find out what SAD is and what you can do to help yourself or those around you.
These days, Linda, a US teenager spends most of her holidays sleeping instead of doing sports outside. She has also had trouble concentrating（集中精力）on her homework. When her mother asks her what’s wrong, Linda doesn’t know what to tell her. Linda may not realize it yet, but she’s suffering from SAD. It causes people to sleep, eat sweet food and get sad or angry for no reason.
About 15 percent of American people now suffer from SAD in winter according to the US Department of Health. The US government has taken measures to help people beat it. Local communities encourage people to take part in activities such as exercise, dance or art. And they advise people not to eat too much sweet food.
Like in the US, cold northern European countries such as Finland, Iceland and Russia see a large number of people suffer from SAD every year. So, the sunlamp is widely used in these countries. It’s an electric lamp which is just like a “little sun” that gives off light to make people think the sun is shining and feel better.

One possible version:
A. Dear Li Hua,
In your last letter, you asked me for some advice about how to keep healthy. Here I would like to tell you something about it.
As we know, health is very important for us. So first, we should have healthy eating habits. We’d better eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and less meat. Keep away from unhealthy food like potato chips, hamburgers, coca cola, etc. Second, do more sports to build ourselves up. As a student, we can exercise in many different ways, such as playing basketball, running, swimming and so on. Third, it’s necessary for us to get enough sleep. If we sleep well, we’ll be more active. Finally, happiness is also important. Be happy to be healthy.
I hope my advice will be helpful for you.
Yours,
Jane
B. A day for my family
My parents are usually busy with their work. Though they dont have much time to care for me, they love me very much. I have many unforgettable memories of the things they have done for me. I think May 15th is a good chance to express my love. On that day, I plan to have a family trip to Dongshan Island. During the trip, we can enjoy the sunshine on the beach. I will tell my parents how much I love them and that I need to communicate with them more. I believe it will be a wonderful day.
