As most people know, in the last few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only weakened the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people.

Therefore, effective measures should be taken as soon as possible to stop its happening. So how should we deal with the frightening sandstorms?

Some experts offer practical advice as follows: For one thing, more money ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection in order to keep more water on the Earth. For another, government of all countries should make laws on environment protection. For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to lower the grade of its destruction and to improve the environment. As for some schools, education about sandstorms should be spread properly and timely to make more and more people attach great importance to this problem.

How people look forward to sunny days with soft wind touching their faces now and forever! The golden days can come back so long as we try our best to protect the natural environment from today on. And the fact is that what I expect is not just a dream. There are some sweet fruits from the early efforts.

Over the last few years, nutritional trends have grown in numbers, as more and more people are becoming aware of the positive advantages that a healthy and balanced diet can have. So it should be no surprise that the phrase “clean eating” has been added to the Collins Dictionary. 1.

“Clean eating” is the trend that became popular over the Internet, especially among health and fitness fans. It is a type of diet where people avoid processed (加工过的) foods, such as bacon and white sugar. 2. No chemicals are used while growing organic foods, so they are kept in their natural state and are considered “clean”. Above all, “clean eating” encourages not only a more conscious type of eating, but also a lasting change in lifestyle, such as regular exercise.

The trend became more popular when the World Health Organization released its report on processed meat in 2015. 3. It links processed meats such as ham, bacon and sausages to cancer. And now many people are feeling anxious.

4. Dietitians(营养师) have noticed an increase in the number of women becoming weak and getting anemia(贫血). Some of these women are on a clean eating diet. They lack nutrients that come from some processed foods. Experts suggest eating a balanced diet of more “clean food” but also taking in a small amount of processed food. 5.　 It is necessary that people do not feel guilty(内疚的) if they sometimes have the food that may not belong to “clean food”.

A.But what exactly is clean eating?

B.But how is the phrase added to the dictionary?

C.Processed food made with organic ingredients become more popular.

D.Instead, people mostly eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and organic foods.

E.The report says eating processed food can be really harmful to a person’s health.

F.In addition, what is important is that the person has a healthy attitude toward foods.

G.Some people say clean eating helps control their weight and stay energetic, but not everyone thinks it is a great idea.

There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.

It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.

However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use — now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.

In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.

1.According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ________.

A．most of the children behave badly in their daily life

B．they have changed their attitudes towards their children

C．physical punishment is effective to educate their children

D．they are free to use physical punishment on their children

2.Many parents won’t give up physical punishment because ________.

A．they are disappointed with their children

B．they don’t want to hurt their children badly

C．they were brought up just in the same way

D．they don’t know what to do with their children

3.The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ________.

A．most people are used to wearing seat belts

B．people won’t change their old habits unless forced

C．seat belts are really very necessary and useful

D．it’s not difficult to change some negative habits

4.The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ________.

A．talk about a ban on using physical punishment

B．tell us we should educate our children in other ways

C．advise parents to give up using physical punishment

D．suggest physical punishment should be used at home

Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient world, only few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today.

About nine years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Nature Heritage (自然文化遗产) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing. Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years.

Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm the heritage.
