Sort trash, save Earth

You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策). People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.

Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It’s because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil, air and water. Actually we can make use of some garbage again.

And first, we need to sort our garbage. For example, if you put an old battery into the “harmful waste” bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.

Can’t factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier.

Garbage sorting and recycling around the world

• Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back. You can get one to two yuan per bottle. People like this because they can get money and protect the environment at the same time.

• Japan: A trash truck comes to people’s doors to pick up their garbage. It plays music when it’s coming. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them wrong, you will get a notice on your door.

• Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles, five medium bottles or 10 plastic cups. But the bottles must be clean.

• Shanghai: Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A.Many other cities in China have garbage-sorting policies.

B.Many people don’t like Shanghai’s garbage-sorting policy.

C.Shanghai is the first city in China to make a garbage-sorting policy.

D.China is the first country in the world to make a garbage-sorting policy.

2.With the battery example, the writer tries to tell us　　　　　　　　 .

A.how to sort our garbage

B.the importance of sorting our garbage

C.what harmful waste is

D.the difficulty of sorting our garbage

3.Why can’t we ask factories to sort garbage?

A.Because we don’t have this kind of factory.

B.Because factories ask for too much money.

C.Because it takes too many workers to do it.

D.Because not all garbage can go to factories.

4.In which country can people take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations?

A.Germany. B.Indonesia. C.Japan. D.China.

When you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.

The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.

Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment op portunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.

To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”

1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A.Cut flowers can survive a long trip. B.You should buy flowers from local florists.

C.Flowers you buy come from far away places. D.Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.

2.Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?

A.Dutch companies and the government B.airplane and high-tech cooling companies

C.Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickers D.American businessmen and their government

3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.

A.end B.advantage

C.challenge D.difference

4.What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?

A.He could predict a train was soon to arrive.

B.He knew his business would be threatened.

C.He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.

D.He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.

“When can I get a cell phone?” The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is over. And a cell phone can give kids almost instant access(快捷通道) to their parents if something goes wrong or they need help. It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check on them and make sure they’re OK.

If you do get a cell phone, make some rules with your parents, such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone, when the phone must be turned off, and what you will do if someone calls you too often, and so on.

You’ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged(充电) and store it in the safe place so it doesn’t get lost. And whatever you do, don’t use it in the bathroom. I know someone who dropped her phone in the toilet!

Good health is the most valuable thing in the world. When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.

All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, “It’s easy to say, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleasures that I can’t do without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that, you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.

1.According to the author, ________ our biggest enemies of health.

A. too much drinking is　　 B. too much smoking is

C. eating too much is　　 D. we ourselves are

2.“I can’t help myself” means ____________.

A. I can’t do it myself　　 B. I must ask someone to help

C. I can’t control myself　　 D. do help me, please

3.This passage mainly tells us________.

A. terrible diseases and so on

B. to enjoy pleasures after a busy day

C. the difficulty of controlling ourselves

D. that we should control ourselves to keep healthy

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for example, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic (认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

1.. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The importance of working hard at school.

B. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths.

C. How to face one’s weakness.

D. The value of school work.

2.. The writer thinks that a student with a part-time job is probably _________.

A. a good way to find out his weak points

B. one of the best ways of earning extra money

C. of great use for his work in the future

D. a waste of time he could have spent on study

3.. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he _________.

A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities

B. will be regretful about his bad results

C. may also do well in his future work

D. should restart his study in school

4.. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Para. 3) probably means “_________”.

A. be clumsy (笨拙) at doing things            B. be skillful in doing things

C. be not interested in certain things               D. be easily bored in doing things

5.. From the last paragraph we know one should _________.

A. make full use of one’s own weak points       B. study harder for a new school record

C. apologize for one’s own school record        D. face one’s own weak points bravely

When I was about 4 years old, I decided to go to Disney World. For most young kids, it’s a normal request, but I had cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Walking into anywhere, let alone a crowded place like Disney World was, to put it lightly, a tall order. Luckily, I had people in my corner to help me. Over the next three years, I worked with physical doctors, acquired a walker, and practiced walking, standing, and balance — all skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.

I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work. Despite this, everyone else told me I could do it, so I kept it up. It was all because of people like my parents, brothers, teachers, and doctors that I was able to grow so much, both physically and mentally. Constantly pushing me to “walk on,” yet encouraging me whenever I needed it.

On June 9, 2008, as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street, my dad asked me if I wanted any help. I instantly replied, “No!” and situated myself facing the end of the tunnel, feet planted firmly, heart most likely beating out of my chest. Then I went, walking ever so slowly at first, then gradually speeding up. Step, step, step, step, bump. Holding fast onto the handlebars, I gathered up all my strength, picked up my walker and straightened out, picking up my pace once again. It wasn’t too long before the cheering increased because I had made it to the end, where my mom was waiting with tears in her eyes and arms open wide ready to hug her son and tell him how proud she was.

Looking back on that experience, I realize something pretty thoughtful. Every once in a while, life will throw a few bumps in the road. Though it may set you back for a bit, don’t let it stop you. Pick yourself back up and finish. It’s worth it. Besides, there just might be someone there cheering you on along the way.

1.Which of the following best explains “a tall order” underlined in paragraph 1?

A.An easy decision. B.An available action.

C.A reasonable order. D.A challenging task.

2.Why does the author say he’s lucky?

A.He eventually has his brain disease well cured.

B.He constantly gets courage and support from others.

C.He is likely to do any kind of work in his later life.

D.He is naturally gifted in keeping balance on his own.

3.The author gives a vivid picture of himself in paragraph 3 to______.

A.explain he was terrified to take the first step

B.describe he took pride in his mother and friends

C.show how he managed to walk by himself

D.prove how he understood to respect others

4.What can be the best title of the text?

A.Where Dreams Come True B.When Bad Fortune Falls

C.How I Value Friendship D.Why I Look Back My Life

Protect Children from Cyber-bullying

When you think about bullying, you might think of a child being bullied by another in the schoolyard. As more young people have access to computers and cell phones, traditional bullying has gone digital, which has not yet gained awareness in Chinese parents.

Cyber-bullying, first invented by Canadian educator Bill Belsey, is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in an intentional, repeated, and unfriendly manner. It involves threatening text messages, the spread of online rumors on social networking sites, and intentionally keeping someone out of an online group. Cyber-bullying is at an all-time high in the US. According to a study from the US Department of Justice, more than 43% of teenagers report

being victims（受害者）of cyber-bullying.

Compared to face-to-face bullying, cyber-bullying is considered to have a worse emotional effect on the victims, and kids could feel more desperate and depressed. Severe, long-term or frequent cyber-bullying can leave victims at greater risk for anxiety, depression, and other disorders. Research says that cyber-bullying victims were almost twice as likely to have attempted suicide compared to youths who had not experienced it.

In　 traditional　 schoolyard　 bullying,　 at　 least　 home　 is　 a　 safe　 place　 for　 the　 victims.　 But cyber-bullying is endless---it could happen anytime. Moreover, in the digital world, bullying is much easier, as a bully can pick on people with a much lower risk of being caught.

Actually,　 cyber-bullying　 has　 become　 a　 worldwide　 issue.　 In　 the　 US,　 as　 several　 teens committed suicide because of cyber-bullying, some schools set rules to punish cyberbullies. Laws to punish cyber-bullying have been introduced in some states. In China, cyber-bullying is still considered by many parents and educators as a problem that involves physical contact. However, as cell phones and laptops are becoming common equipment for teenagers, social interactions have increasingly moved from personal contact to virtual contact. Cyber-bullying is spreading faster than expected.

For schools and parents, safety rules should be set in the virtual world for kids, such as telling them not to let out anything to a stranger. Active steps should be taken to make the public aware of the seriousness of this problem, because it would be too late to take measures after

tragedy strikes.

1.According to the writer, which of the following is cyber-bullying?

A. Saying unkind words to classmates.

B. Attacking one’s computer with virus.

C. Stopping someone from joining a club.

D. Threatening someone in text messages.

2.Compared to traditional bullying, cyber-bullying 　　　　 .

A. can be found out easily

B. hasn’t been punished by law

C. can cause more lasting sufferings

D. has made twice more youths killed

3.According to the passage, 　　　　 .

A. cyber-bullying first started in Canada

B. measures should be taken against cyber-bullying

C. there is no escape from cyber-bullying for students

D. Chinese students are not facing serious cyber-bullying

4.Who is this passage mainly intended for?
