【题目】Be a green kid
What does it mean to be green ? “ Green ” is more than just a color. 【1】 Every day , people make choices that affect the amount of trash and pollution produced in our world . What can we do ? Here’s a four- step guide to be green.
Reduce it !
【2】 For instance ,a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warms up the water.
Reuse it !
Sometimes people call our society “a throwaway society ” . That means we’re a little too willing to throw away old stuff and buy new stuff. 【3】 For instance, if your little brother outgrows his coat , why not give it to another family who has a little kid?
Recycle it!
Recycling has never been easier. 【4】 Tell your mom and dad you want to become “Chief of Recycling ” for your household .That means you’ll organize the recyclable items in bins. Remember to put them outside the door on recycling day , and remind others which items can be recycled.
Enjoy it!
It’s true that trash and pollution are problems ,but the Earth remains a huge and wonderful place for you to explore . 【5】 But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyard. Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in some vegetables ? If so , get out there and get your dirty .
A.When you use less of something , you do good a good thing for the Earth.

【题目】Marjorie Baer used to joke about her retirement plans.She wasn't married and had no kids, but she didn't intend to be alone—she and all her single friends would move into a fictional home she called Casa de Biddies.Instead, Baer developed terminal brain cancer when she was 52.But just as she'd hoped, her friends and family provided her with love and care to the end.
Ballance was only the first of Baer's friends who became her unofficial caregivers.With her brother Phil Baer from Los Angeles, they worked out a system to watch over their friend and allow her to keep some of the privacy and independence she cherished.
Baer's good friend Ruth Henrich took Baer to doctors' appointments and helped her deal with all the aspects of life —answering machines, TV controls, and even phone numbers.After Henrich sent out an e-mail request, a group of volunteers signed up to ferry Baer back and forth to radiation therapy(放疗).Others in Baer's circle offered up particular talents: A nurse friend helped Baer figure out how to get what she was due from Social Security and her disability insurance; a lawyer pal helped Baer with her will; a partner who was an accountant took over her bills when she could no longer manage them."There was this odd sense that the right person always showed up," says Ballance.Their arrangement worked remarkably well.
Unmarried women are one of the fastest-growing groups in America; experts are concerned about how care-giving will be managed for them as they age.If the experience of Baer's friends is a guide, the Internet will play a role.It's already making it possible to create communities of caregivers who may have only one thing in common: the person who needs their help.On personal "care pages" set up through services such as Lotsa Helping Hands, friends and family members can post a list of tasks that need to be done, volunteer to do them, and keep updated on the person's condition.As Baer's cancer progressed, for example, her friends set up a page on Yahoo! where people could sign up to deliver meals or do errands(差事).
Catherine Fox, one of the friends who were present when Baer died, was deeply affected."It was so comforting to know that if you're willing to ask for help, the generosity of family and friends can be phenomenal(显著的).It makes me feel secure and hopeful to know that help is there when you need it."
【1】The most appropriate title of this passage should be ______.
A.On her own, but not alone
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed
C.A new practice of American government
D.A phenomenal advantage of the Internet
【2】Who helped Marjorie Baer get her disability insurance?
A.Ruth Henrich. B.Her brother.
C.A nurse friend. D.Ballance.
【3】The underlined part in paragraph four suggests that the Internet will ______.
A.play a role in American future pension system
B.provide online medical care for aged unmarried women
C.help manage care-giving for unmarried women as they age
D.help those aged unmarried women to kill their spare time
【4】The writer tells us the story of Marjorie Baer for /span>the purpose of ______.
A.reminding us to be kind and make as many friends as we can
B.informing that there will be a new trend of care-giving for the single elderly
C.persuading us that we can enjoy our retirement even if we don’t have a child

【题目】One of the main decisions you must make when traveling is deciding where to stay. A good place to stay can often make a holiday. Whether you are looking for a classy hotel or a night under the stars, we can guide you through your different options.
Bed and Breakfast
An English invention, bed and breakfasts offer exactly what they suggest, a bed for the night and breakfast in the morning. People who hate the anonymity of hotels but want more luxury than a hostel often choose to stay at bed and breakfasts. “B&B’s”, usually someone’s private home, are often found in the countryside.
Hostels
For those traveling on a tight budget, hostels are the best accommodation option. Informal places usually with a friendly youthful vibe(氛围), they offer dormitory beds for rent. Bathrooms are usually down the hall.
Remember to check reviews by previous guests online before you book your hostel.
Couch Surfing
An unusual but interesting option, couch surfing is a growing trend among young internationals. The idea is that you become a member of the online couch-surfing community (www. couchsurfing. com) and then when you travel, look up other members in that country and ask to stay on their couch (沙发). Most hosts will suggest sightseeing trips and take you out in the evening, making it a great way to see things that aren’t in your guidebook. And remember, it may be free but don’t forget to offer to buy your host a drink or dinner.
Camping
Sleeping under the stars! For budget travelers staying at camping grounds is the cheapest way to travel. The drawback is that you have to carry a tent with you. Camping grounds can be found across Europe, America and Australia. However, if you intend on camping in busy cities, check first where the nearest campsite is. More often than not, they are on the outskirts, which can mean lengthy bus rides into town when you want to eat or see the sights.
【1】Hostels are popular among budget travelers because they provide _____.
A. a friendly atmosphere
B. dormitory beds for sale
C. reviews by previous guests
D. beds and bathrooms as well
【2】The advantage of couch surfing is that _____.
A. you don’t have to pay any money
B. you can have a couch to sleep on
C. you can explore the nightlife there
D. the host will charge you for sightseeing
【3】The disadvantage of camping is that you have to ______.
A. sleep in the open air
B. take some extra articles
C. camp near big cities for safety
D. take a long distance bus to the campsites
【4】You want a better but not too expensive place to stay, you may choose _____.
A. Bed and Breakfast B. Hostels
C. Couch Surfing D. Camping
