The Amazon rainforest in South America, at seven million k㎡, is the largest rainforest in the world. The forest is important for people all over the world, because it produces a lot of oxygen, and also helps to cool the weather. But large areas of the rainforest are being cut down for wood—55% of the forest could be gone by 2030! The World Wildlife Federation is helping to stop some areas of the rainforest from being cut down.

At 68,000 k㎡, the Aral Sea was one of the largest lakes in the world before the 1960s. Then rivers were diverted (改道) and it has been getting smaller ever since. By 2007, it was only 10% of its original size and had split into three separate lakes. There are constant dust storms and the villages sit on the edge of a vast desert with large ships stranded (搁浅) in its sand. Adam (水坝) had been built to try to restore higher water levels in the North.

In China, about 3,600 ^2k㎡of grassland near the Gobi turns into desert every year. There are often storms that blow dust all the way to Beijing. The storms are getting worse each year and have a deep impact on farmers. The goal of the Green Wall Project, started in 1978, is to increase forests in northern China from 5% to 15% in order to stop the desert from growing. The project faces many challenges. However, people must never give up on it.

Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.

Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.

When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great Train Crash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.

He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.

After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood. Steven Spielberg’s films were finally received the highest praise around the world.

Here are some tips on using transport safely.

If you are travelling by bus, try not to wait at bus stops alone. When you are on the bus, you should sit downstairs if you are on a double-decker.     40    

    41     When you are in, you can chat with the driver, but you shouldn’t give away any personal information to the driver. Don’t open the doors until it has completely stopped. You may ask the driver for waiting until you have entered your house safely, before he or she drives away.

If you travel by train or the underground, try to sit near groups of people in a well-lit area. When you are on the train, store your luggage (行李) as close to your seat as possible or where you can easily see it.     42    

You always have cash on you and a back-up plan if you are separated from the people you are travelling with. If you are lost or in need of help when travelling by train, you should take it easy.     43    

Check the time of the last train and bus to avoid being in trouble at night. Think about texting a message about your travel plans to a friend. Try to avoid walking alone after getting off a train or bus, if you can walk close to a group of people. Never walk across or touch railway lines, because it is very dangerous.     44     To remain safe and alert (警觉), don’t use your headphones, smartphone satellite navigation systems or have long conversations on mobile phones while you are walking, especially late at night.

To work towards a peaceful life, you should always try to develop good relationships with the people around you. Be kind and help those in need. Do this not only for family and friends, but also for the people who     55     (live) in your neighborhood.

People in your community might have different ways of living and     56     (think). This doesn’t mean that they’re wrong and you’re right. If everyone had the same ideas, the world would be     57     boring place.

Today, in many     58     (city), people usually lock their doors after work and don’t see their neighbors much. Social interactions (相互影响) are often     59     (limit) to a “Hi!” on the street. However, there may be times when someone does something that upsets you. If this happens, discuss the matter in a     60     (friend) way. This allows you to express your ideas without     61     (make) your relationship damaged. Avoid arguments, especially ones that judge the nature of the person rather than the actions. For example, your neighbors are playing loud music while you try to fall asleep. Should you politely     62     (suggest) they turn it down?     63     should you angrily shout at them? The first choice is wise. By calmly examining any problems, you create the relationship of mutual respect and understanding. After all, good neighbors are     64     (good) than distant relatives.
