24、How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

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.

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 products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

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 of 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”. Though 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.

So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

【1】What is the passage about?

A．How to produce things.

B．How to burn things.

C．How to help others.

D．How to be green.

【2】Which of the following is right?

A．Don’t waste things.

B．Always throw away old things.

C．Always buy new things.

D．Buy too many things from abroad.

【3】Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?

A．You can burn them.

B．You can use them again.

C．You can throw them away.

D．You can change them into something else.

【4】To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.

A．waste, reuse and recycle

B．repair, burn and recycle

C．reduce, reuse and recycle

D．reduce, waste and recycle.

【5】The passage may come from ______.

A．a menu

B．a dictionary

C．a storybook

D．a magazine

25、I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say, ‘I don’t do this and do that’, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”

He gave me a new check-book (支票簿). “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps (经济缺口).

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible (圣经) that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say, “Read this every morning.” He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden (负担) on the family. I have been able to make money since.

【1】Why did the father not ask his son not to do this and do that?

A. Because he didn’t feel very confident of himself.

B. Because he was born from a poor family.

C. Because he was a man of few words.

D. Because he didn’t want to be much too strict with him.

【2】What’s the proper Chinese meaning for the underlined part “get pushing” in the passage?

A. 闲暇时光 B. 学费   C. 经济不足 D. 精神空虚

【3】What kind of book did the Bible seem to be to the writer’s father?

A. It was a book which told you how to quarrel with others.

B. It was a book that could bring you money.

C. It was a book that told you how to get a good job and a good future.

D. It was a good book that could help you when you were in trouble.

【4】 What is the writer’s main purpose (目的) in writing this passage?

A. To tell the readers his life story.

B. To tell people what kind of person his father was.

C. To let people know how poor he was.

D. To tell the readers what present he got from his father.

【5】What would someone learn from this passage?

B. How to stand on one’s own feet.

C. What a good father should do.

D. What the self-important is like.

26、   The Great Wall of China has a history of more than two thousand years. It runs from the east to the west in North China. It is about 8,800 kilometers long. Chinese people often call it “Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall”.

The Great Wall is wide enough for ten men to walk side by side. Horses can also run along it, too. The Great Wall is made of stones and bricks (砖). There are huge stones on both sides and on the highest part. But now some sections of it are worn out (磨损).

Along the Great Wall there are tall watch-towers (烽火台). Long ago, the soldiers (士兵) kept watching the enemies (敌人) in them day and night. They made fire on the towers to tell each other when the enemies came.

Nowadays (当今) we don’t use the Great Wall to keep away the enemies any more. It is a famous place of interest to all the people in the world. Every year, thousands of people come to visit it from all over the world.
