In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However, that’s exactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly a whole year.

Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of making it through the year without spending any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn’t hesitate to look for food in the dustbins (垃圾箱).

But this year has been quite difficult. The soil in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate (气候) there was terrible as well. They kept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to take a shower. What’s worse, they had to share a toilet with the rest of the community.

Even though they had no jobs, they didn’t have a lot of free time to waste. They spent most of the day working for local farmers planting vegetables and picking fruit so that they could earn their next meal. They had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs. But when there wasn’t enough food for them, they had to go to look for food in the dustbins.

Not everyone is brave enough to do this. But they really made it work and they felt happy.

C. They tried their best to get everything necessary themselves.

D. They expected other people to give food to them.

3. What does the underlined word “hesitate” mean in Chinese?

  A. 坚持             B. 犹豫         C. 决心                D. 尝试

4. How might the writer feel about the Australian couple?

A. They are a bit strange.

B. They are very brave.

C. They are young and smart.

D. They are very funny.

5. What can we infer from the passage?

A. The Australian couple hated the city life so they lived in the country.

B. The Australian couple would continue to live there for the rest of their life.

C. Nothing is impossible as long as you use your head and work hard enough.

D. More and more old people are looking forward to living in the countryside.

In order to show that showering isn’t a big deal, an American hasn’t taken a shower for 12 years. Instead, he sprays (喷洒) himself with something special that is said to have kept him clean over the years.

Dave Whitlock, a chemical engineer, thinks no fact can show that bathing is a healthy practice. “I haven’t taken a shower for 12 years, ” he says. “In fact, the chemical (化学物) in our soap have killed all the friendly bacteria (细菌) that live on our skin when we use it. ”

For a long time, many people haven’t realized skin bacteria are important and helpful to the body. Although Whitlock isn’t a biologist (生物学家), he has tried his best to invent a kind of spray called “Mother Dirt” with friendly bacteria. According to Whitlock, the bacteria in the spray can take in something dirty on our skin and produce a kind of chemical which is good for our body.

Now the spray is being produced in a company which Whitlock has helped to set up. The spray has no smell and feels just like water. It can be sprayed all over the skin twice a day to avoid showering. And for those who really enjoy showering, the company is planning to develop a kind of special shower gel (沐浴露) with friendly bacteria.

1. Why hasn’t Whitlock taken a shower for 12 years?

A. Because he hates showering.

B. Because he wants to prove his idea.

C. Because there aren’t any friendly bacteria on his skin.

D. Because he is too busy with his work.

2. Which is TRUE about the spray that was invented by Whitlock?

A. It can help to keep the skin clean and healthy.

B. It can help the skin produce more friendly bacteria.

C. It smells better than shower gel we use.

D. There are not any chemicals in it.

3. What can we know about Dave Whitlock?

A. He is an American biologist.

B. He thinks showering is important.

C. He always uses some soap to wash himself.

D. He’s trying to make people learn a lot about showering.

4. What can we know from the passage?

A. Whitlock suggests that we should take showers often.

B. Almost everyone knows the importance of skin bacteria.

C. Using soap often is harmful to our skin’s health.

D. The spray Whitlock invented is becoming more and more popular.

5. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The use of friendly bacteria.                             B. A strange American biologist.

C. No showering for 12 years.                              D. The importance of cleaning the skin.

Many people think they have a bad memory. They always spend so much time reciting(背诵) lessons. What can we do to improve our memory? Here are some suggestions.

Vivian, 15, from Beijing

I have some tricks to help remember lessons. First, you need to understand the meaning of each sentence. The better you understand, the easier it is to remember. Second, you can do research to get some background on it, like its writer and how he or she wrote it. It can help you understand the story better. Finally, read it aloud and imagine things in the story. You may find a lot of pictures come to mind. Then try to describe them.

Zhao Yujie, 14, from Jiangsu

Finding the best way to learn and remember can be hard sometimes. But don’t worry. It’s all about finding what works for you. One thing that always helps me is taking good notes while I read my lessons. But instead of copying it word for word, I put it into my own words. This will help you think through things better. Also, you can use the notes to go back and review later. Try this on your next lesson and see if it helps!
