With a rise in the number of allergies and worries over exposure to chemicals, more people are looking for alternative ways to clean their homes. To this end, some people are turning to the use of garbage enzyme (酶)--a concentrated liquid produced from fruit and vegetable waste. Garbage enzyme can be easily produced in the home, and has many uses, including as a cleansing agent, insect killer and even shampoo.

At the same time, it is hoped that the production and use of garbage enzyme will help reduce household waste and encourage people to take the initiative in sorting their trash.

The concept of using home-produced enzymes entered China several years ago when a special bucket imported from Japan was promoted by some health experts as a means of making healthy drinks. While the effectiveness of the enzyme drink remains unproven, garbage enzyme has been shown to be effective as an agent for cleaning toilets and floors, and as a fertilizer for plants.

Making wet garbage into an enzyme solution has been practiced in Southeast Asian countries for decades, greatly reducing household waste and protecting the environment by reducing the use of bleach (漂白剂) and other strong chemicals. Many people have realized that chemicals do harm to human body and the more garbage enzyme they make, the more good it does to the environment.

Any reduction in the volume of household garbage will benefit the city. Shanghai produces the largest amount of garbage than any other city in China. It is also home to the largest refuse landfill in Asia, the Laogang Refuse Landfill in Pudong New Area, which occupies a total area of about 30 square kilometers. It is struggling to accommodate all of the city's garbage, with a fifth phase under construction. The landfill and its surrounding areas are heavily polluted, something that nearby residents have been complaining about for years. The process of making enzyme solution consumes wet garbage. This means residents don't produce wet garbage after they start to make garbage enzyme. They even find the amount of wet garbage produced by their families is insufficient, so that they have to ask for garbage from their neighbors. Another advantage is that producing garbage enzyme encourages people to think more about garbage separation — something the local government has been trying to encourage but which still is not practiced by some residents.

1.Which of the following belongs to the usage of garbage enzyme?

A.Making plants more fragrant.

B.Creating materials to clean houses.

C.Producing effective healthy drinks.

D.Reducing the amount of dry garbage.

2.What is the writer's attitude toward garbage enzyme?

A.Disapproving. B.Ambiguous. C.Favorable. D.Skeptical.

3.How will garbage enzyme possibly affect people in the future?

A.It will force people to ask for more garbage from their neighbors.

B.It will prevent people from using chemicals to clean their houses.

C.It will shelter people from household garbage pollution for good and all.

D.It will make people take garbage separation seriously before dumping it.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The threat of constructing more landfills.

B.How to classify garbage wisely and practically.

C.How to make garbage enzyme at home successfully.

D.The practice of turning leftover into a household product.

The number of smokers in England is about 8 million. According to the Department of Health, smoking is the biggest cause of early death in the country. Smokers in England have been asked to give up smoking for 28 days this month, in an action backed by Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.

Research shows people who manage not to light up for this length of time are 5 times more likely to kick the habit. Public health experts say campaigns that include a combination of hard-hitting ads and supportive messages work best.

Quitting smoking can be difficult. However, people are much more likely to succeed if other people are doing the same than if they try to do it alone and go cold turkey. Robert West, Director of Tobacco Studies at University College London, points out how pressure from people around can prevent a smoker going on smoking. “We are social animals,” he said.

The action has met some doubts among readers of the BBC News Online website. Some compared it to asking people to stop eating as a way of fighting overweight. Others doubt the action’s effectiveness. “Its weakness is that it fails to explain why a person smokes, and the reasons are as many as the number of smokers”, says someone who signed as BluesBerry.

Another reader, Cazz, has decided to give it some credit. He says:“ Campaigns like this won’t necessarily inspire the majority of smokers to quit, but may encourage those thinking about quitting to set a date and try. Surely it’s worth a shot. ”

1.What does the text mainly talk about?

A．A new action to quit smoking.

B．A way of fighting overweight.

C．A country with the most smokers.

D．The biggest cause of early death.

2.The underlined phrase “go cold turkey” in the third paragraph means “_______”.

A．buy a cold turkey   B．eat too much food   C．stop a bad habit     D．get much support

3.Why is it easier to stop smoking when other people are doing the same?

A．Because people usually respect each other.

B．Because they’re faced with the same pressure.

C．Because people are influenced by each other.

D．Because they keep the same animals as pets.

4.What’s Cazz’ s attitude in the last paragraph?

A．Distant．          B．Doubtful．        C．Surprised．        D．Approving

Reward methods are an everyday occurrence in our classrooms. More than ever, a great number of incentive(激励) programs have been created to help teachers manage behavior, and motivate learners. However, there is evidence that in the long run, reward systems don’t work.

Many people believe that rewards can help students develop a reason to do better. However, this approach fails to address why children are unable to be successful in the first place. When a student who dislikes math frequently behaves badly in class, a simple and easy way to deal with the behavior might be to offer him a reward for not misbehaving. Yet this would do nothing to solve his real problem—which is his attitude towards math.

On the other hand, rewards can’t last forever. So what happens when they stop? Many experiments suggest once the rewards stop, people go back to behaving as they did before.

Some people might counter that. It may be true that students won’t positively work once we stop rewarding them, but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have! Unfortunately, there is another more surprising consequence of rewards that we need to consider: Rather than create motivation, they can actually decrease motivation.

In a classic study, some kindergarteners who enjoyed drawing with markers were observed in a classroom with different activities available. They were broken into two groups. Everyone in the first group was told that he or she could win an attractive certificate by drawing a picture with markers. Each was eager to get the certificate and drew a picture. Children in the second group were also encouraged to draw but didn’t get a certificate. After a delay of about two weeks, when the markers again appeared in the classroom but no certificate was promised, the children in the first group used the markers about half as much as children in the second group. Apparently, rewards actually made them enjoy drawing less.

What we really want is for students to take responsibility for their own learning. When much of the focus is on performance outcome, it can stop the development of self-motivation. The ‘self-determination theory’ claims all human beings will succeed when our basic, inborn, and emotional needs are met. By providing appropriate support and opportunities, we can help to meet the needs of all students and therefore increase their motivation.

1.The author mainly argues that ________.

A. students should be responsible for their learning

B. incentive programs help to solve real problems

C. motivation plays an important role in learning

D. reward methods for students are ineffective

2.The underlined word “counter” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A. suspect

B. oppose

C. detail

D. confirm

3.In Paragraph 5, the author uses the example to show that ________.

A. rewards keep interest

B. children enjoy awards

C. children are changeable

D. rewards reduce motivation

4.The author persuades readers to accept his argument mainly by ________.

A. questioning the results of classic studies

B. comparing strengths with weaknesses

C. pointing out the problems with reward systems

D. giving examples of badly-behaved students
