The clock struck(敲) eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly at a huge pile（堆） of those trouble things —books.
I was going to have my exam the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. And I could not. The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear! Ten more books to read before I go to bed!” We students are the most wretched ones in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I did learn. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed（祈祷）, “My god, please let me pass the exam tomorrow. I will work hard next time, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the books, I fell asleep.

Bob always took the newspaper to Grandpa White’s home before going home. Grandpa White’s was at the end of the road. Bob liked Grandpa White.

For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashion” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable coat.” “His shirt was really a fashionable colour.”
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs … and in languages.
Fashions change very quickly as time goes. This is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones, televisions and computers send information from one place to another in a few minutes.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
1. Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
2. Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
3.  Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted (融化) and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
4.  Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples. You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5.  Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society（社会）. But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
【小题1】_______ can be recycled.

A．Only hard things

B．Many things

C．Few soft things

D．All things

【小题2】The “recover” rule mainly requires us _______.

A．to throw waste things away

B．to cover waste things with earth

C．to get back the useful parts

D．to throw the whole things away

【小题3】We can infer（推断） that the writer of this passage may live in _______.

A．China

B．Japan

C．Australia

D．America

【小题4】Which of the following is true?

A．We will have no resources（资源） of nature unless we can do with the waste.

B．Recycling is the best way to save resources.

C．If we waste less, we can save more resources of nature.

D．More things are wasted in developed countries than in developing ones.
