Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the Earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what a little we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “ accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龙头)are not leaky(泄露的),which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It’s not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
小题1:The underlined word “scrimping” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A.savingB.cleaningC.cookingD.drinking
小题2:From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.
A.protecting the environment begins with small chores
B.protecting the environment should start from childhood.
C.wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D.protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
小题3:Which of the following isn’t true?
A.The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.
B.Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
C.To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D.Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.

At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon(优惠券)if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The measure (措施) is part of a national “eat-up” campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhna News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.

Most American schools have boys and girls in the same classroom. But a public high school in the small, rural town of Boonsboro, Maryland, offers a special program called the Academy. Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math, science, English and social studies.
The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart. What they really want to do is take that top group of kids and take them to the very highest level they can achieve there, so that they’re prepared for college.
Students are invited to enter this program after they finish middle school, and placement in the Academy is voluntary. However, they need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations. They also need to be involved in activities.
Almost 350 students have taken part in the Academy. It began as an experiment in 2010.
Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy. His ninth-grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting. He says that the novels the students are reading now are very manly (男子气概的) novels. These novels deal with the arrogance (傲慢) of man and the pride of man which finally leads to man’s downfall.
One of those books, for example, is The Call of the Wild by Jack London. This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada’s Klondike Gold Rush.
Morgan Fleet, a senior at Boonsboro High, likes being in the Academy. She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom. She believes this difference seems to prevent her from developing herself because she’s more focused on thoughts like “Oh, I wish they would shut up. Oh, what do they think of me?’’ instead of focusing on “What’s the homework? What’s going on in this class? What’s the lesson?”.
There is one activity that girls and boys in the Academy do together. At the end of the day, many of them stay and help tutor students who are having trouble in school.
小题1:What is the purpose of the Academy program?
A.To offer a special program in high school.
B.To help students concentrate on study.
C.To strengthen sex education for teenagers.
D.To start learning college courses earlier.
小题2:To enter the Academy program, students are NOT required to _________.
A.do well in their studyB.be recommended by teachers
C.take part in some activitiesD.have worked as volunteers
小题3:The Call of the Wild is given as an example to show that male students ___.
A.should learn more about literature
B.should have a sense of protecting the wildlife
C.are reading more manly novels
D.are interested in stories on animals
小题4:Which is likely to be Morgan Fleet’s opinion?
A.A girl cares about the boys’ opinions of her.
B.Single-sex classes should be stopped.
C.Girls are more focused when studying with boys.
D.Boys and girls act the same in separate classrooms.
小题5:The passage is intended to _________.
A.introduce the single-sex class project
B.explain the differences between boys and girls
C.persuade students to enter the Academy program
D.urge students to work hard in their study

Bicycle lights may not exactly be a problem that needs solving, but the following can be said about most of them ---- they’re easily stolen if left on an unattended bike. People riding at dusk can forget to turn them on, and those same people can forget to turn them off when they reach their destination. Well, the makers of the Blink/ Steady Bike Light have set out to address all of those shortcomings.
The waterproof(防水的) Blink/ Steady is so far only available as a tail light, although a head light is on the way. It’s fixed onto the bike’s seat post. A built- in photosensor(感光器) tells when it’s become dark enough for the light to be required, and allows it to come on once you begin the riding. According to the producers, it isn’t fooled by things such as headlights or streetlights. The light also contains an accelerometer, also known as a motion sensor, which can tell when the bike is in motion.
Between the two sensors, this means the light will come on only once it’s dark enough, and the bike is moving. Even when stopped at red lights, the small movements of the rider will reportedly be enough to keep the light activated---- it’ll go out after 30 seconds of complete inactivity. While this does mean that the two sensors are continuously powered up, they go into a very low---- power sleep pattern when the bike is sitting, unused.
Light is provided by two5- watt LEDs, seeable over a range of 180 degrees. And power comes from two AAA batteries, which provided up to 200 hours of continuous run time. The designers and engineers behind the Blink/ Steady are now raising money for its commercial production. About US $95 will get you one if they become available.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly to mean that______.
A.bicycle lights are worth a research
B.bicycle lights are not a problem at all
C.bicycle lights are easy to deal with
D.bicycle lights are difficult to turn off
小题2:According to the text, the Blink/Steady Bike Light is sensitive to______.
A.the weatherB.streetlightsC.headlightsD.natural light
小题3:Why is there an accelerometer in the Blink/ Steady Bike Light?
A.To protect the bike against water.
B.To tell if the bike is moving.
C.To make the bike easy to ride.
D.To judge the speed of the bike.
小题4:What can be inferred about the Blink/ Steady Bike Light?
A.It will be turned off immediately if the bike stops.
B.The traffic lights have no effect on the light.
C.It won’t use any power if the bike is unused.
D.It must meet two requirements if it comes on.

GCSEs not fit for purpose
GCSEs(General Certificate of Secondary Education,普通中等教育证书)encourage "teaching to the test" and may be past their sell-by date, according to Britain"s leading business organization. The Confederation of British Industry(CBI) warns that the qualification is stopping teachers delivering an "inspirational classroom experience" and should be replaced.
John Cridland, the CBI director general, said industry faced a shortage of key skills, particularly in science and maths. The CBI(英国工业联合会), which represents more than 240,000 companies, is also concerned about the 40% of young people who fail to achieve the benchmark of five good GCSE passes including English and maths. The percentage of pupils who reach this standard is the main measure of school success.
Speaking at the launch of a CBI inquiry into education, Cridland argued that abandoning GCSEs could help deliver a full education. "There"s something about this GCSE limitation which produces a form of learning ------ teaching for the test.’’
"It frustrates teachers because it stops them delivering that inspirational classroom experience."
The CBI head suggested that raising the school leaving age to 18 – a change that comes into effect in 2015 – is an opportunity to reform the system. "It seems to me that we"ve raised the participation age to 18 and we"re left with an education system that focuses on 16," said Cridland. More than 600,000 children in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are due to take GCSEs this summer.
Many other countries do without a public exam at 16. Finland, the highest performing school system in Europe, has just one public exam, at 18, though children are regularly tested at younger ages.
小题1:What does the author intend to tell us in paragragh1?
A.“Teaching to the test” should be encouraged.
B.We should stop teachers delivering “inspirational experience”.
C.The current qualification is out of date and should be replaced.
D.The Confederation of British Industry should be replaced.
小题2:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The British GCSEs are no longer practical and should be reformed.
B.In the GCSEs system , teachers don’t have freedom.
C.Five good GCSEs is hard to achieve.
D.The British Education Department will reform education system.
小题3:The meaning of the underlined word “benchmark” in paragraph 2 may be ______.
A.successB.targetC.standardD.excellent grades
小题4:Where can we find this article?
A.TV seriesB.radio news
C.newspaper education sectionD.government report
