Earth Hour is an annual international event set up by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and held on the last Saturday of March. It asks families and factories to turn off their non-essential（不必要的） lights and electrical appliances(电器) for one hour to raise awareness(意识) of the need to take action on climate change. It was first held in Australia in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation（参加） in 2008.

Gaby Lucy is just a 17-year-old American girl, but she has experienced life in the Dominican Republic as a volunteer. When she recalls her time volunteering there, she doesn’t think about the fact that she had no running water and lived in a small house outside. Instead, she remembers fondly the people she met, the work she did with a youth group to improve accessibility to a local library and the leadership skills she gained.

American teens are setting an example to their parents through their volunteer work, according to a new survey by Harris Interactive. The random national telephone survey released this week found that more teens volunteer to support a charitable cause(慈善事业) – 56 percent – than have a part-time job –39 percent. Parents said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable causes, including volunteering, inviting others to a cause or donating money.

If Mickey Mouse is a westerner who has captured the world，Hello Kitty is the world’s sweetheart from Asia. With its two innocent black eyes and the cute ribbon on its ear，this white-faced kitten has captivated(迷住）the hearts of women of all ages since 1974.

Hello Kitty is found on more than 50 thousand items，including toys，school supplies，make-up and even neckties.

To celebrate the character’s 38' birthday，an exhibition called“Inside Kitty" is underway at the Seongnam Arts Center in Yatab-dong.

“Kitty was not popular at all at first，even in Japan. Only since 1985，11 years after it was born，have people started to pay attention to it，”Yuko Yamaguchi，one of the designers of the

character，told the press.

“Hello Kitty was only for kids then. But in 1987，I got a letter from a high school student who said that her friends teased her because she had a Hello Kitty product. She asked the com-pany to make something that did not look strange for her to carry around. Since then we’ve tried to come up with things that all ages can enjoy，”Yamaguchi said.

Hello Kitty became popular after being displayed in Anna Sui boutiques(精品店）in the United States. Young women from all over the world have been in love with the character ever since. The boutique of MAC，a make-up brand，packed，on the day the brand was released，its first products made in collaboration with Hello Kitty.

“The character has to communicate with people. It should change over time，and always

stay fashionable，＂Yamaguchi said. “Inside Kitty" starts by viewing the past of the character. Kitty fans will be delighted to see Hello Kitty items from throughout the past 38 years on display.

      “Silent night” is anything but silent in China. Some Chinese people have turned Christmas Eve into a wild party night for the young. I assure you that the holiness of this holy night is totally lost here.

       I noticed this year that some Chinese people were picking up Thanksgiving as well. They do without the turkey, but on Thanksgiving they send text messages to each on the cell phone. I got 32 messages in all, reminding me to be thankful. None of them thanked me for anything, however. I did not send any out. I still want a turkey (with lots of stuffing) and pumpkin pies.

       The most ridiculous Western holiday celebrated in China, however, is Valentine’s Day. The Chinese translation is “Lovers’ Day”. I dare say it is the worst of the year for married men because they think it awkward to spend “Lovers’ Day” with their wife. But women here take Valentine’s Day very seriously. As a result, it is great business for restaurants and flower shops; this is the day of the year they can sell a lot of merchandise.

There is a story telling of a religious master who is said to be capable of moving mountains. A man came to him asking for a demonstration (证明). The master sat in front of a mountain for a moment, then went to the other side of it and declared the end of the demonstration. All the audiences were greatly puzzled and begged him for an explanation. He said, “There has been a way of moving mountains; what you can do is to go to the mountain if it doesn’t come.”
One of my friends, though with the makings of a merchant, was bent on being a painter. He resigned from office and devoted himself entirely to painting at home. Several years, however, saw no progress in this regard.
A painful retrospection (回顾) brought him to his senses. He made up his mind to take up business in place of painting. It took him only a few years to become a rich businessman. Meanwhile he spent his spare time exchanging experience and skills in painting. His works finally won acclamation by expert painters and were on sale in art gallery and grand hotels. He had his collections published and his dream of becoming a painter came true at last.

阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

（1） Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned. 

（2） It can boost （促进） productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan

Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades. 

（3） Environments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were kiss likely to one hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similarly. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural one. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown. 

 （4） It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient （接受者）。

（5）So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________. After a month of doing it. I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being. 

 What does the author say about the adults according to Paragraph 1? （within 8 words）

 _________________________________________________________________________

 Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

 Teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active in learning and scored higher in tests. 

 ____________________________________________________________________________

Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. （within 5 words）

List three effects of smiling on health according to the text. （within 8 words）

 ①                          ②                      ③

Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Chinese.

Dear Peter,

    Is everything going well? Recently the Students’ Union of our school has done a survey on whether English classes should be taught in English only or in both English and Chinese. Now, I’m writing to tell you about it.                                                                                                                       

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,
