Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger ,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways .You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers .It come from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater. Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages. Dry climates are of course more likely to have droughts than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs . Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number. You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with ,use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away. 25. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater ? A. Using river water .

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent. 33.What can people do at the apple events? A. Attend experts’ lectures. B. Visit fruit-loving families. C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D. Taste many kinds of apples. 34.What can we learn about Decio? A. It is a new variety. B. It has a strange look. C. It is rarely seen now. D. It has a special taste. 35. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean? A. A practical idea. B. A vain hope. C.A brilliant plan. D. A selfish desire.

A garden that’s just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. ● 37 Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 38 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years. ●Recall your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 39 --how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 40 . Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun. A. Know why you garden B. Find a good place for your own garden C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants F.

There’s a science to setting goals. Below, we share some research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals. Choose a goal that 61 (matter), not just easy win. A meaningful goal— 62 that truly inspires you to change—requires going deeper. Think about what you want in the coming year, then ask yourself why you want that. For example, if you want to quit 63 (smoke), ask why do you want to quit? Then, if you want to quit for your health, ask why do you want good health? Set up your goals positively. How you describe your goal makes a big 64 (differ). Focusing on what you want to bring into your life—not what you want to avoid—will make you more likely to 65 (actual) struggle for it. Prepare for failure (in a good way). Moments of failure can’t 66 (avoid), but most of us abandon the goal entirely when slight failures start piling up. At the moment when you fail, often the first instinct (本能) is to push the goal away. It’s so __67__ (comfort) to be in that condition of self-doubt or self-criticism and guilt. Your task is not to avoid failures, 68 to plan for them. For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack with you. 69 conclusion, wise choices and full preparations are 70 (rely) measures to reach our goals.

Early in the morning we set out from our school in high spirit. Hardly had we arrived at the foot of the hill while we divided us into several groups. Then with the signal given, we began climbing to the direction of the top. We encouraged each other in the course of the climb. We supported each other when passing the rocky areas. After an hour we eventual made it to the hilltop, where we were greeted by bright sunshine and fresh air. Viewing from the top, the city was extremely beautiful. That was really a meaningful trip. As we know, a challenge as it was, it was very benefit to us. We gain much exercise and we also learned how to cooperate with each other. Therefore, we strongly suggested that similar events held more and more in the future!
