    A small town in southwest Britain is banning (禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
    Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
    Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
    Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.
    The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”.
    “Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker(柳条) baskets to go out shopping anyway, ”Hosking told Sky News Television.
    The World Watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
    小题1:The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means        .
    A．acceptableB．valuableC．environmentally-friendlyD．long-lasting
    小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that         .
    A．most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags
    B．fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world
    C．San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
    D．most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
    小题3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
    A．Environmental Protection B．Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
    C．British Town Banning Plastic BagsD．Effect of Plastic bags on Sea Animals

    小题1:D

    A 37-year-old man in Australia’s Northern city Darwin ,Norm Pethrick, was praised for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.

Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.

    Who says Americans worship the almighty (全能的) dollar? It's not true. Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new survey.
    Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone survey ranked being wealthy as most important to them, while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority (优先考虑的事), higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. "Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old," said Richard Morin, of the Pew Social ~ Demographic Trends Project, which conducted the survey. "So our desire to play unites us."
    The survey also showed that people who were educated in university valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. Not surprisingly, those who didn't have money, ranked wealth very highly. This included minorities, first generation Americans and less educated people. The survey also revealed that a disproportionate (不成比例的) number of people under the age of 30 and retired people in the group made $ 20,000 or less a year. But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors. "It just diminishes (减弱) with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich," Morin said. "But also, as for old people the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life. "
    While wealth was not at the top of people's list of priorities, 43 percent still said it was somewhat important.
    小题1:The survey showed that the majority of American people ranked ______ as the most important.
    A．wealthB．a successful careerC．marriageD．free time
    小题2:Who cares least for wealth, according to the passage?
    A．Young people B．First generation Americans
    C．Old peopleD．Less-educated people
    小题3: According to the survey, what did middle-aged people regard as more important?
    A．success in career B．education levelC．wealthD．comfort
    小题4: What is the belief of old people according to the third paragraph?
    A．Wealth is as important to the old as health.
    B．One needs to put money away for his retired life.
    C．One doesn't have to be rich to live a satisfying life.
    D．One would never get rich until he retires.

    A
    BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
    While China may be the world’s biggest toy maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough toys of high quality. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
    A US company, Baby Care, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
    Baby Care works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals.  People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child-care books.
    "We want to build a seven year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, Baby Care’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." Baby Care works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by Baby Care advise parents and explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
    Baby Care opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
    It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
    小题1:What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
    A．Educational toys and foreign toy markets.
    B．Problems with China’s toy market and education.
    C．Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.
    D．Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.
    小题2: Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?
    A．Club members buy Baby Care products for free child care advice.
    B．Doctors in Beijing help in making Baby Care products.
    C．Parents are encouraged to pay $ 18 for club activities.
    D．Baby Care trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost.
    小题3: Baby Care is developing its business in China by ___________.
    A．opening stores in Beijing hospitals
    B．offering 18 month courses on child care
    C．setting up children’s education centers
    D．forming close relationships with parents
    小题4:Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
    A．Mother’s Club in China.B．Baby Care and Doctors.
    C．American Company Model.D．Educational Toys in China.
