Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can
make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means"use less". Don"t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going
into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will
be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many
things from abroad.
Reuse means"use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last
a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead
of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don"t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It"s better to use a china
cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means"change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into
something else, it"s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your
neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled
materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

| Do you plan to go to Hong Kong Disneyland with your family this summer? If your dad smokes, you may have to ask him to be careful. From January 1st, Hong Kong banned (禁止) smoking in most public places. These places include restaurants, workplaces, schools and so on. Even smoking in some outdoor places is not allowed, for example, beaches, sports ground, museums and most areas of public parks. Hong Kong hopes the ban can stop passive smoking. What is passive smoking? When people smoke in a restaurant or on a bus, others have to smoke too. They don"t want to smoke but they have no choice. This is passive smoking. It is bad for people"s health. And it"ll be better if more people in Hong Kong give up smoking because of the ban. Jack Lee, a 26-year-old student says, "The ban is really good. I don"t like people smoking next to me. It"s so smoky and smelly." If someone breaks the ban, he will be fined HK$5,000. Hong Kong is not the first Asian city to have a smoking ban.

| The earth has warmed by about half a degree (0.5) over the last 100 years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect (温室效应). The greenhouse effect is important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans, plants and animals. Many of things we do every day can change the Earth"s temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases. Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water. The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals. Global warming (全球变暖) is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don"t do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world. | ||
| 1. _________ does not send greenhouse gases into the air? | ||
| A. Turning on a light B. Walking to school C. Driving a car D. Watching TV | ||
| 2. Without the greenhouse effect, we would _________. | ||
| A. not be able to live B. be safer C. have a cleaner earth D. have a better world | ||
| 3. The passage mainly talks about _________. | ||
| A. the earth could be getting warmer by itself B. the earth is getting warmer in 100 years C the greenhouse effect is important D. humans are making the earth warmer | ||

| Do you sweat, chew (嚼) your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out a test? A lot of people get freaked out (兴奋) when it is time to take a test. It is natural to feel some stress (压力) about taking tests. In fact, sometimes a little adrenaline (肾上腺素) is a good thing to jump-start you. Here are some tips for taking tests: ● First, be sure you have studied properly. It sounds like a no-brainer, but if you are sure of the information, you will have less reason to be worried. ● Get enough sleep the night before the test. Your memory recall (使想起, 回想) will be much better if you have had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying. ● Listen closely to any instructions. As the teacher hands out the test, be sure you know what is expected of you. ● Read the test through first. Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the full test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate (估计) how much time you have for each part and ask the teacher any questions. If something seems unclear before you start, don"t panic: ask. ● Focus (集中) on addressing each question one by one. As you take the test, if you do not know an answer, do not obsess (使困扰) over it. Instead, pass over the question and come back to it after you have answered other questions. ● Relax. You might need a mini-break if you are so nervous that you blank out. Of course you cannot get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle (摆动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm place. These tips should help most people, but some can get serious test-taking fear. You may need to ask a teacher or counselor for help if you are one of them. | ||

| Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses-smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in colour. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmares-bad dreams that frighten us. Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (精神病专家) Sigmund Freud published (出版) a book called "The Interpretation of Dreams" in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can"t have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression (侵犯行为). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions (解决办法) to problems we face when we are awake. He didn"t believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people"s brains while they are sleeping. Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions. Robert Stick gold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stick gold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires. Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stick gold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream. | ||

| 3. Which of the fowling is true according to the passage? | ||
| A. Other researchers have discovered how dreaming helps our bodies work. B. Freud developed the idea that dreams are expressions of people"s hidden feelings. C. Carl Jung thought dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are sleeping. D. Scientists have known well why we dream because they can take pictures of our brains. | ||
| 4. Which would be the best title for the passage? | ||
| A. The Explanations of Dreams. B. The Ways of Dreams. C. The Solutions to Dreams. D. The Mystery (奥秘) of Dreams and Dreaming. |
