How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.

REDUCE

Reduce means “use less.” Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary--- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local produces if possible, and try not to buy too many things form abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.

REUSE

Reuse means “use again.” Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

RECYCLE

Recycle means “change things into something else.” Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

1.Why is it better to choose local products if possible?

A. Things from abroad do harm to our environment

B. Local products are much cheaper

C. To choose local products means that we love our country

D. Things from abroad aren’t necessary

2.According to the passage, when we find our clothes are out of fashion, what should we do?

A. Throw them away

B. If they are still suitable, keep them

C. Clean the floor with them

D. Give them to others and buy new ones

3.What is the helpful activity in our daily life?

A. To shop with plastic bags

B. To use paper cups

C. To collect old newspapers

D. To burn fallen leaves

4.According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?

A. We should learn to grow vegetables

B. People mustn’t produce waste any more

C. Children are too young to do anything to save energy.

D. The simplest everyday activities are important to protect our world.

5.Which of the following is WRONG according to this passage?

A. Always buy new things and throw away old ones

B. Use china cups instead of paper cups

Editor’s note: do you care about the environment (环境)? Have you ever wanted to help protect it ? Well read on, as this month we’re going to hear from overseas teens about what they do to help the environment.

I can’t remember when I started collecting litter(垃圾). But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.

I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there in three minutes!

I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided I had to clean up the forest. I wanted to feel happy going there again.

I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes after starting to pick up litter, my bag was full! It had cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers in it.

Since that first trip three years ago. I’ve gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.

After each trip, I look at all the litter I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable(可回收的), I keep it.I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.

I know I am only doing a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.

1.When did the writer make the first trip to clean the forest?

A. When he was ten years old. B. Three years ago.

C. When he went to a forest. D. When he was playing with his dog.

2.What did he take when he went to the forest to pick up the litter?

A. A book　　　 B. A dog

C. A black car D. big rubbish bag

3.What were not mentioned in this passage?

A. cans 　　　　　　 B. bottles

C. broken glass D. old books

4.How many times has the writer gone to the forest a year to pick up litter?

A. Three times B. Four times

C. two times 　 D. Six times

5.Why did the writer start collecting litter?

A. To help the earth 　　 B. To make some money

C. To help other people D. To clean the forest

九年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析

Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about the environment around you? Would you please help make the area you live in cleaner and safer?

If your answers are “yes”, “yes” and “yes”, then read on! You may be surprised to hear that you can actually (事实上) get money for improving your community (社区).

The “Big Lottery” is giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens(公民). We have ￡80,000 to give away. We’re looking for young people to take part in schemes (规划) and projects near to the places they live in.

Here are some easy things you could do to get started:

Meeting the neighbors

Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s doors and find out what they need to improve in your areas. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go around to their houses, you could always put a note through their doors.

Neighborhood watch

Neighborhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. You could set one up easily and quickly.

Lending a hand

There are elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens or walk their dogs!

No littering

Nobody likes picking up rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable!

Recycling

Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places for people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighborhood. If it is not, do something about it.

So go on…help make your neighborhood “street ahead”. Just tell us what kind of project you want to get involved in. Then we’ll send you more details. Take positive (积极的) action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in!

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Why we should care about the elderly people in our community.

B. What we can do to improve the environment of our community.

C. How we can recycle daily rubbish properly in our community.

D. When we should get the neighbors together to meet their needs.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer doesn’t agree to work for the “street ahead”.

B. Teenagers aged from 14 to 19 are not allowed to join in.

C. It is hard to find a neighbor to watch your house in the UK.

D. We will get money if we give any help in our community.

3.What can you infer from the passage?

A. The center for elderly people will be larger.

B. The writer is a member of the “Big Lottery”.

C. Communities will take the place of schools.

D. The writer is the manager of the community.
