My grandma was the best grandma a girl could have. She never said a bad word about anyone. She always found good in a person.
When I was young, Grandma worked hard all spring and summer to buy a new coat for the winter. She sold eggs, fruit and anything her garden produced to earn enough money. Her old coat had seen better days, and she had repaired it quite a few times. When she finally had enough money saved up, off to town we went. Grandma looked so nice in her new coat, and I was proud of the hard work she did to earn it.
That winter, in the small town where she lived, a family with three small girls lost their house in a fire. They needed clothes, food and household items. Grandma decided to cut up her new coat and make three coats for the little girls. I asked her not to do it, but she kissed away my tears. She told me those girls needed coats much more than she did. Grandma made the dolls, coats, and apron on her old sewing machine.
When they were done, we loaded up the small red truck with the coats, an apron for the mother, blankets, food, and three little dolls. When the family saw what was in the truck, the mother started crying and the girls hugged the dolls.
On Sunday, Grandma wore her old coat to church and she was the nicest grandma there.

Named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin, the fire started on November 8, 2018 and killed at least 71 people. More than 1,000 people are reported to be missing, although officials say that number could increase.
The fire has been heavily sweeping the Sierra Nevada forest since last Friday, according to the California firefighting office, Calfire. 1,500 firefighters were sent to the affected area, but difficult conditions have prevented their activities and access to the area.
The fire has had huge fuel(燃料) as a result of wood from dead trees—27 million died last year after years of dry weather — plus leaves and grass dried by heat.
Evacuations(疏散) were ordered in several camps and in other areas. Calfire asked people to get ready to escape, considering high temperatures for the next few days.
The fire forced the shutdown of a highway and one of the entrances to Yosemite National Park. Meanwhile, scores of people have become sick and the air in northern California has been listed the world’s worst.
Heavy rain is coming next week that could reduce the flames but also bring floods on hillsides.
According to experts, the main causes of the wildfires are the weather, climate change and population change.
1.Where did the fire happen at the beginning?
A.Calfire
B.Sierra Nevada
C.Camp Creek Road
D.Yosemite National Park
2.What made the fire continue?
A.Climate change.
B.Firefighters’ action.
C.People’s evacuation.

3.What result has the fire caused?

B.27 million trees were dead.
C.The Yosemite National Park was closed.

The microplastics(微型塑料) problem in the oceans has made its way to sea turtles in a big way. A new study has found microplastics in the stomach of every single turtle they tested—a total of 102 sea turtles.
The researchers tested more than 100 sea turtles from all seven kinds and three different oceans, and they were looking for man-made things less than 5 mm long. The most things the team found were fibers, which most likely came from clothing and fishing equipment.
“The influence of these particles on turtles is unknown,” said Emily Duncan. “Their small size means they can pass through the stomach without causing a problem, as is frequently reported with larger plastic pieces.”
The researchers found more than 800 man-made particles in the turtles, but since they only tested part of the stomach, they believe the total number of particles could be 20 times higher. They don’t know how the turtles take in the particles, but they think they are from polluted seawater and polluted plants.
Professor Brendan Godley said that eating microplastics isn’t the biggest problem to sea turtles at the moment, but it is a clear sign that we need to do a better job watching global waste.
This turtle study shows that we need to reduce the amount of plastic waste, so we can keep clean and healthy oceans for future people.
1.The underlined part in paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.has gone into B.has made great effect on
C.has been walking to D.has tried to escape from
2.How did the researchers find out the microplastics problem？
A.By giving examples. B.By comparing sea life.
C.By studying different sea animals. D.By testing turtles from different seas.
3.What can be inferred from Emily?
A.Larger plastic pieces cause trouble to sea turtles
B.Eating microplastics is the biggest danger to sea turtles
C.Scientists know clearly how sea turtles eat plastic pieces
D.The number of particles inside sea turtles is much higher
4.The purpose of the text is to call on people to ________.
A.stop killing sea animals B.find out more plastic waste
C.control pollution to oceans D.carry out further researches
