When I was a boy, I was always happy to see those little brown coins. After years I was still very happy to pick up pennies on the ground, I usually saved them up. I usually bought a pack of gum or a bag or chips when it was enough. After growing up, I hears a story about coins. It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. People wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I never doubted that story even as an adult. It is difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. Maybe that is why I still enjoy seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are.
A few months ago, I was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. As I entered the room, I saw not one, not two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. I smiled and picked them up. I kept them in my hands as I walked in the post office. “Four is Ok,” an office said to a lady. The lady began searching her purse. Her face went red. I understood what had happened. I laughed to myself at this surprising moment. I placed my pennies on the desk before her. The smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars.
The coins weren’t so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. I just performed a little kindness. I was happy.

Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have. A US accent, perhaps imitates(模仿) a Hollywood star speaker? Or maybe you want to imitate the British accent of a BBC news reader?
Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex(异性)! Let's listen to what they have to say.
Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK
A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it's Jessia Alba speaking or the girl-next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle(感觉) that is really fashionable. A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang(鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.
To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics(特征) and lifestyles of the people.
Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US
From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot(好感) for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.
Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.
The English accent seems almost like art.
【小题1】In Stephen Yang's opinion, accents just show .
A. the beauty of the language
B. how the language is spoken

D. the cultural differences of the speakers
【小题2】The underlined word "cute" probably means .

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging(包装) increased by 12% between 2010 and 2015. It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
【小题1】What does the underlined phrase "over-consumption" refer to?
A. Using too much packaging
B. Recycling too many wastes
C. Making more products than necessary
D. Having more material than is needed
【小题2】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .
A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the fact of packaging overuse
C. the rapid growth of super markets D. the increase of packaging recycling
【小题3】According to the text, recycling .
A. helps control the greenhouse effect B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage D. leads to a waste of land
【小题4】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging
C. Other products are better packaged than food
D. It is improper to judge quality by packaging

Yesterday we had our PE lesson. The teacher had taught us how to practice high jump. The bell rang and we went to the playground in line. The teacher told me the way of jumping and then gave us example. Followed the teacher one after another, my classmate did very well. Soon it was my turn and I felt little nervously. I failed at my first attempt, but I was not a bit discouraging. I kept on thinking about the teacher’s words and practising. I managed to jump over the pole at the end. From this class I have realized one can succeed whether he was perseverance(毅力), just as an old saying go, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
