Here are 5 actions you can take to make a difference to our environment. 1. Use fewer napkins. The next time you’re eating, don’t take a bunch of napkins when you need only one. If every American used an average of one less napkin every day, it would prevent the use of more than a billion pounds of napkins — enough to fill the Empire State Building — from ending up in landfills. Use fewer napkins, and you’ll cut down on waste. 2. Think before flushing. Don’t flush wastefully. By avoiding just one flush a day, you could save about 4.5 gallons of water. That’s as much water as the average person in Africa uses to bathe, drink, clean, and cook for an entire day. 3. Avoid wasting food. Eat Thanksgiving leftover-Don’t let them spoil. If every US household reduced food waste by the weight of.one slice of bread, the money saved would be enough to pay for three meals a day for a year for every homeless child in the U.S. 4. Kick off the shoes Leave your shoes at the door when you come into your home. Unwanted fertilizers, lead, and poisonous cleaners found on outdoor surfaces can hitch a ride on your shoes and track through your house. 5. Save energy When you go out, try to use public transport. If you close the bathroom door when you take a bath, you will keep the room warmer, Your bath water’s heat stays trapped in the bathroom. The water also stays hotter and longer, so you don’t need to add more hot water. Save energy: Close the door. 【1】Suppose you and your parents all reduce one flush a day, how much water will be saved? A.About 9 gallons of water. B.About 14 gallons of water. C.About 16 gallons of water. D.About 11 gallons of water. 【2】What do the underlined words “hitch a ride” mean in the passage? A.Be stuck. B.Ride on you. C.Follow you. D.Visit you. 【3】What’s the main idea of this passage? A.Save energy can help to save money. B.Wasting is shameful. C.One can use some ways to protect the environment. D.You may make a bigger difference than others. |

We had a military training for a whole week in late August after stepping into our new senior high school. The military coaches were all strict with us. Frankly speaking, we all felt very tired, and even had pains in our legs. However, we all persisted in practising, and felt satisfied with ourselves eventually. In the morning we arrived at the playground in lines on time. Then you could hear our military coaches shout at the top of their voices“Stand at attention”, “Stand at ease”,“Tum left”,“March”,“Run…”, All the students were practicing carefully. Exhausted as we were, none of us asked to have a rest, none of us complained, none of us wanted to drop out. Under the blazing sun, despite high temperature and thirst, we stood still for an hour with sweat dripping down from our faces all the time. In the moonlight, we played games heartily, bursting into laughter now and then. On the grass, divided into two groups, we competed to sing encouraging military songs in high spirits one after another. At the meeting, hearing their moving speech, we felt regretful for wasting time before. At that time we realized we should have been grateful to our parents and teachers, with tears in our eyes. And we all made up our minds to study harder. On the afternoon of the last day, our principal sang high praise for our behaviour, and encouraged us to keep this persistent spirit in future. Though this military training is a tough experience, we challenged ourselves and overcame those difficulties. We felt proud from the bottom of our hearts. There is no doubt that this military training has left a deep and durable impression on me, on all my classmates. 【1】How does the author like this military training? A.Tiring and disappointing.

During the COVID-19(新冠病毒)crisis, working from home has become common for many people. For some, working from home is distracting and exhausting. But one pioneering study found that working from home increased output by 13%. Nicholas Bloom, a professor at Stanford University in California, began the experiment when James Liang, one of the founders of Trip.com Group-the largest online travel agency in China-met Bloom in Stanford and mentioned to him how expensive Shanghai housing was, how the costs of maintaining company headquarters were huge there, and that he was thinking of letting his staff work from home. This idea made Bloom interested. Bloom started to test Liang’s thought. First, 1000 employees who volunteered for the study were divided into two teams, separated by birth dates. Those born on even days got to work from home 4 out of 5 weekdays for the next 9 months Those born on odd days stayed in the office all week long. Then the two teams were tracked. It was easy to do, as these workers had repetitive, straightforward tasks that could easily be quantified(量化), and their productivity could easily be measured-making bookings in the system or making phone calls, for example. Nine months passed; Bloom and Liang discovered workers were 13% more productive at home. Bloom’s data suggests the staff could become much more productive while working from home long term-but it’s not so straightforward. In the experiment, there were warmings as to who could take part in the first place. Participants had to meet 3 requirements: have no kids, have a room that wasn’t their bedroom and have quality Internet on equipment which the firm installed for them at home. So there’s no guarantee that everyone’s productivity will increase. Lynda Grattan, a professor at London Business School, distrusts other points: Bloom’s experiment was easy to carry out because it was essentially happening at a call centre. “We have no proper data on the productivity of knowledge workers when they’re based at home,” she says. 【1】Why did Liang want to let the staff work from home? A.To decrease the staff salaries. B.To avoid the spread of COVID-19. C.To save the costs of working in the office. D.To prove the advantage of remote work. 【2】How did Bloom conduct the experiment? A.By giving questionnaires to all the staff. B.By following the productivity of two teams. C.By interviewing volunteers about their feelings. D.By analyzing features of various working environment. 【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.The experiment has attracted many volunteers. B.The staff working at home always finish more tasks C.The speed of the Internet decides the productivity of workers. D.Workers’ high productivity is based on suitable working conditions. 【4】What does Grattan think of the experiment? A.It doesn’t apply to easy tasks. B.It ignores the role of parents at home. C.It inspires knowledge workers to work at home. D.It needs further study for knowledge workers. |

Pengci (碰瓷) has been a disgusting matter for a long time. When driving on a road, if you see an old man or woman walking by the road, you may be afraid that he or she will hit your car on purpose, and then ask you for much money. Even worse, it has been reported that a pupil saw an old woman fall onto the ground, so he walked over to help her. But she grabbed him and said she was pushed down by him. Then she tried to extort much money from the pupil’s parents. What a shame! How to deal with it? Our authorities have taken aim at pengci. On October 14, three top judicial (司法的) organs issued a guideline to clarify the application of the law in extortion cases involving deliberately fabricated (捏造的) accidents or similar happenings. The guideline was issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. For the first time, authorities have defined the pengci trick, in which people pretend they have been harmed by another party and then ask that party for money or property as compensation. The guideline stipulates (规定) punishment for the two main types of pengci-fraud and extortion. Criminals who intentionally or negligently cause harm to others while carrying out pengci tricks may be charged with the crimes of intentional homicide, intentional injury, negligently (疏忽地) causing others’ death or causing serious injury to others, the guideline said. The guideline also stipulates that whoever deliberately causes a traffic accident and blackmails the victim, which meets the relating provisions (条款) of the Criminal Law, shall be punished as the crime of extortion by blackmail. According to this guideline, we can avoid being extorted by ill persons and warm-hearted persons can help those who really need help. 【1】What does the underlined word“extort”in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.Threaten to get something illegally. B.Earn something by working. C.Ask somebody for something. D.Give something for free 【2】Why was the guideline issued? A.To protect old men and women.

Only by doing some housework regular can we form the habit of doing things by ourselves. But we want parents to give chances to practice. As the time goes on, our parents will grow old and we can’t rely on him for ever, we’ll step out of our families and go work independently sooner and later.
