I was in the lift in a market. There was an old man and about five or six people in front of me. People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as a rock. The old man knew this clearly and tried hard to step aside.
I remember sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person ? I was impatient and upset.
“ I ’ m sorry. Please forgive me! ” said the old man. “ I don ’ t mean to hold you up. ” He then tried his best to get out of the lift.
I suddenly saw this in a whole new light. I felt sick to my stomach. The old man was apologizing to everyone ? when we should have helped him to calm his fears.
One by one,people went around him quickly. By the time I got to him,I asked, “Sir,can I help you?”
The man thought for a while,and then said ,“ Well,yes,thank you! ”
I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly.
“So what are you shopping for,sir?”
“ Oh ? today is Mother ’ s Day. I want to buy something for my neighbour. She ’ s a single mother and she is always so nice to me”’ he said,stopping suddenly as he looked for his pocket.
“Oh,they are here!I always carry them with me,” he said. Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read:
“John Smith,friend to all. . . enemy to no one!I said a prayer today and you were the answer. Thank you! ”
“That's for you ,” he said. “Thanks for stopping to help an old man. ” “My friend,you helped me. I found why I was unhappy with the world. Now I know how to solve the problem. No more with me! ”

C
Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population,which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly,the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly,the increasing population creates more pollution,another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their result slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However ? a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology,cars make transportation easier and quicker than before ? but we can ’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example,we are consuming gasoline,which is a non-renewable resource,and will soon be gone. Moreover,the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air,and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution,which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking,taking buses,carpooling (合用汽车) ,instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can ’ t be so effective if a single person takes it. But,when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities ? the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.
() l. According to the writer,the main problem to our environment today is .
A. the increase of population B. the limited energy resources
C. the more serious air pollution D. the development of technology
() 2. From the passage,we can know that .
A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government
B. taking measures now can soon improve the environment
C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems
D. every single person’s action has some effect on environmental protection
() 3. The author,s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to .
A. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment
B. advise people to take actions to protect the environment
C. show himself to be an active environmental protector
D. point out the bad effects of technologies in protecting the environment
() 4. Because of the serious pollution,people can consider .
A. walking B. taking buses
C. carpooling D. all of the above
() 5. The passage is mainly about .
A. energy resources saving B. environmental protection
C. population control D. air pollution

Good morning,boys and girl. Today I’11 talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send emails to our friends in a quicker way. It can help us contact (联络,联系) people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write letters to each other too often. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don, t study well any more.
I think we mustn ’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or
winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time,if we have lots of free time,we can do some activities after class. We usually have activities from 4 :50 to 5 :50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school ? such as drawing ? singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
