Located on the waters of Lake Superior, Rabbit Island is a remote place where few people live. While this tiny island may not look big from up above, it’s a piece of undeveloped nature, the perfect place for artists from all fields to come and inspire their creativity.
It was that vision that made New Yorker Rob Gorski purchase the island on Craigslist in 2010. He wanted to protect the island’s natural state. But Gorski had more than preserving nature in mind. He saw an opportunity to create a place where artists, musicians, writers, dancers and other creative types could reconnect with nature while learning about environmental protection and sustainability (可持续性).
Shortly after that, Gorski worked with friend and artist Andrew Ranville and created the Rabbit Island Foundation. The organization’s main goal is to host artist living programs during the summer while also teaching and supporting environmental protection, sustainability and serving “as a platform for science, art, preservation and recreation for the generations.” In keeping with the belief that the island should remain largely untouched, the artists follow a “leave no trace” policy. Small solar panels (板) are used to produce electricity, and buildings are simple and modest. There’s also the added benefit that there are no modern distractions (分心的事情) for the artists — no Internet, no television.
What sets Rabbit Island apart from other arts programs is the fluidity (流动性) of the programs. Artists are encouraged to experience being on their own and listen to what nature is trying to tell them. Ranville hopes the artists have a better understanding and appreciation for nature, just as he does with his art.
1.Which words can best describe Rabbit Island?
A.Beautiful and interesting.
B.Big but peaceful.
C.Remote and undeveloped.
D.Small but mysterious.
2.Apart from preserving nature, another reason why Rob Gorski purchased Rabbit Island is that __________.
A.he was preparing to make an investment
B.he hoped to leave the property to his grandchildren
C.he wanted to create a place for artists to connect with nature
D.he planned to provide a place for people to spend their holidays
3.Which of the following are features of living on Rabbit Island?
a. They use solar panels to produce electricity.
b. Buildings there are simple and modest.
c. The house foundations are solid and permanent.
d. There is no Internet or television.
A.abc. B.abd.
C.acd. D.bcd.
4.What is special about Rabbit Island compared with other arts programs?
A.It is mainly to help poor artists.
B.Its location isn’t that convenient.
C.Artists are taught how to develop other islands.
D.Artists are encouraged to experience nature on their own.

As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things.
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight, Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms（生物体）to be affected are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it’s not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening.
Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources of sewage（污水）and industrial waste . As more detergent（洗涤剂）is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas . Detergents harm water birds, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers water - proof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead（铅）.
So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water . It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
1.Pollution of water is noticed________.
A. when the first organisms are affected
B. when a good many fish and birds die
C. when poisonous things are poured into water
D. as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed
2.The living things die because there is no ________in the lake or river.
A. water B. fish
C. poison D. oxygen
3.Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?
A. Organisms
B. Plants and plankton in the water
C. Waste water from cities
D. Industrial waste made clear before flowing into the water.
4.The way to stop water pollution is to________.
A. realize the serious situation clearly
B. put oxygen into the river
C. make the waste material harmless before flowing into the water
D. make special room in the sea for our rubbish

There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.
One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”
The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”
“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.
“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”
There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.
The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.
“Young man,” the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be afraid of dying, you must be daring.”
1.The reason why the young man went to see the old man was that .
A. he enjoyed the scenery of the great mountain

D. he was not sure who the greatest man was
2.The general decided to award the Greek man .
A. after he realized the man’s serious illness
B. because the man fought bravely in battle

D. so that he could find the man a good doctor

A. brave B. polite C. curious D. proud
4.What the old man really wanted the young man to do was .
A. trying to be kind to the people in trouble

Grandma, almost ninety years old, sat weakly on the park bench. She didn’t move. She just sat with her head down staring(凝视)at her hands. When I sat down beside her, she didn’t even notice me. I wondered if she was OK. So I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head, looked at me and said with a smile,” Yes, I’m fine .Thank you for asking me.”“I didn’t mean to disturb you, Grandma, but you were just sitting here staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK,”I expained to her.
“Have you ever looked at your hands?” She asked “I mean really looking at your hands.” I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. And then I turned them over. No, I guess I had never really looked at my hands as I tried to figure out the point my grandma was making. Grandma smiled and told me the following story, “My hands put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. They tied my shoes and pulled on my boots. They held my husband and wiped my tears when he went off to war. They were uneasy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated with my wedding band, they showed the world that I was married and loved someone special. They wrote my letters to him and shook when I buried my parents. They held my children and grandchildren and comforted my neighbors. They covered my face ,combed(梳) my hair and washed the rest of my body. These hands are the mark of where I’ve been and the ruggedness (崎岖)of life.”
I never look at my hands the same again. When my hands are hurt or when I touch the faces of my children and my husband, I think of my grandma. I know I can also create a bright future using my hands.

Living in a modern society with more and more out-of-date but still useful computers, many people have to face such a troubling problem: How to deal with those old computers? Some old ones are put away in homes. Many more are just thrown out with the rubbish.
Don’t worry! Some companies are coming up with new ways to cut the number of old computers. Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now agree to take back some old computers.
In some countries, there are laws about what to do with old computers. By law, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.
While many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers before sending them to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. In this way, we can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things-and cut down on waste.
1.What do many people do with old computers?
