The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. However, thanks to a terrible trick played by nature, what the officials have ended up with, is a natural sandy mess!
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax. But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand, the underground water dried up. As a result, the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert. While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10 meters high, some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.
If that is not bad enough, the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields, have influenced the environment. What’s worse is that on windy days, the dry sand moves into the city center, making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes, nose, and mouth.
In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields, the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting. However, that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!
As you can imagine, many of Zhengzhou’s residents are upset by the disaster. They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised, has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment. Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.
1.The author may agree that it is_________ to build a large man-made lake.
A. possible
B. impossible
C. great
D. interesting
2.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because________.
A. the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry
B. there are enough trees in Zhengzhou
C. they haven’t finished digging the lake
D. there is no underground water
3.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?
A. Light pollution. B. Water pollution.
C. Air pollution. D. Sound pollution.
4.What do Zhengzhou’s residents think of the man-made lake?
A. Scary. B. Small.
C. Helpful. D. Great.

You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger（匕首） of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to（附着） you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A. make a comparison B. offer an evidence
C. introduce a topic D. describe a daily scene
2.How can negative people have effect on us?
A. By changing our ways of thinking
B. By telling us the nature of life
C. By influencing our emotion
D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours
3.According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to __________.
A. show our dissatisfaction to negative people
B. communicate with negative people as little as possible
C. change negative people’s attitudes to life
D. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
