When there’s room on my horse for two?
Climb up here, Joe, we’ll soon be flying

I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop produced its fruit, the birds found it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would make the birds afraid and fly away, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain (谷物) to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to dry two ugly pots (容器)--- one for rice and one for wheat.
Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I still decided to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to set off, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of work.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.
----Taken from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
【1】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us________.
A. how much rice and wheat I harvested

A. How to plant grain. B. How to make pots.

For 21 years, Georges Bwelle watched his ill father traveling to hospitals, which could not offer him all necessary help.
Jamef Bwelle suffered only a broken arm at first, but it finally developed into a hematoma. That would affect (影响) him for the rest of his life. Bwelle spent years taking his father to overcrowded (过于拥挤的) hospitals. It was not easy. They would leave home at 5 a.m. and ran to the hospital to be the first. There were a lot of patients. Some people could die because they were waiting.
The situation hasn’t changed much since Bwelle’s father died in 2002. In Cameroon, there is one doctor for every 5,000 people while in the United States there is one doctor for every 413 people. And even if they could see a doctor, many Cameroonians couldn’t afford it.
When he saw his father and so many of his countrymen suffer, Bwelle decided to do something about it. He became a doctor himself. And he started an organization, ASCOVIME. It travels into the countryside on weekends to provide free medical care. Since 2008, he and his group of volunteers have helped nearly 32,000 people.
Almost every Friday, his team jam into vans and travel to villages in need. In each trip they receive 500 people. Patients come on foot from 60 kilometers around the village for free treatment. The next morning, the team will do simple operations in a school house, town hall or home, and work into the early hours of Sunday morning.
On Sunday, the team heads back to the city, tired but proud of their work. They know that their help can make a world of difference to those they help.
For his devotion to his country and people, Georges Bwelle becomes one of the 2013 Heroes voted throughout the world.

Have you ever thought about how much water you use in a day?
Starting February 1st, each person in Cape Town, South Africa received a daily supply of 13 .2 gallons of water which is only enough for a 10 ---minute shower! This restriction (限制) was introduced in preparation for April 22nd, also known as Day Zero, on which the city will turn off all municipal (市政) water taps because of the overuse of fresh water these years.
Over the past three years, Cape Town has suffered from a dangerous drought (干旱). That, along with a growing population of four million people, has caused water---supply drop strongly. As of November 2017, the water level in their largest water reservoir (水库) had dropped to 28% from 102.9% in 2014. That amount is expected to come down to 13 .5% by April 22, 2018.What's worse, the last 10% of the reservoir's levels are not potable (safe to drink) because of the dirt at the bottom.
Firstly, researchers thought the cause of the drought was El Niño. Cape Town could become the first ever major city to run out of water. The government has called on people to conserve the little water they have left by way of prevention, including stopping car washing and filling up swimming pools. They are asking the public to cut showers to two minutes and reuse bathing water to flush the toilet.
When Cape Town reaches Day Zero, there will be 200 water stations scattered(分布) across the town for people to receive their daily supply of 6.6 gallons. Armed guards will stand by to make sure there is no violence(暴力冲突) or theft.
The water shortage has already influenced all parts of Cape Town. People's lives are being affected, with those in the tourism industry and businesses like car washing, seeing no chance to make a living. The relationship between people also becomes worse as neighbors are encouraged to report each other for water waste and the government plans to collect a drought tax(税收) as they are losing tax money because of the low water use.
【1】On April 22nd, people in Cape Town could have only _____ gallons of water for a whole day.
A. 13 .2 B. 13 .5 C. 10 D. 6 .6
【2】The water shortage in Cape Town has become so serious because of ________ over the past three years.
①a dangerous drought ②a growing population
③overuse of fresh water ④fewer water reservoirs
A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④
【3】What does the word conserve in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. produce B. protect C. promise D. prepare
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The water in the largest water reservoir has already dropped to 10%.
B. Neighbours will learn to help each other when facing the serious problem.
C. Tourism industry and business will not be influenced by the shortage of water.
D. Armed guards will work to help keep the water stations in order when Day Zero comes.

I would like to talk to you about space vegetables, and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.
Space vegetables are grown from seeds (种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. The seeds are affected by radiation (辐射) and low gravity in outer space. When they are brought back to the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的) than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure (暴露) to radiation in space. People should not be scared, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.
Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables:
Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected (选择). When seeds are brought back from space, people test the seeds to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces of radiation after testing.
Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the pepper (辣椒). Space peppers contain 20 percent more Vitamin C than normal peppers.
After genetically modified (基因改进的) foods come onto the market, people worry that they are eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic (对…过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables, so they won't be harmful to your health.
