    4     Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask their questions about interests, and just take the time to learn more about them.

② Most kinds of mold(霉菌) are bad for us. It can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad and it’s not safe to eat. So how do you deal with this situation?

③ If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains water. This allows mold to easily grow below its surface. Bacteria(细菌) can also grow along with it. It’s easy to remove mold from hard food. The mold can’t grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to remove it. It’s OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, you should still throw it away.

④ But some kinds of mold have good influence. Some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium(青霉菌) can be used to make many different kinds of cheeses, such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat and they’re quite delicious as well.

【推荐1】How to combine environment protection with education? A librarian in Indonesia gives an answer. She is lending books to children in exchange for rubbish they collect in a creative way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.

Each weekday Raden Roro Hendarti rides her three-wheeler with books for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste and carries them back. As soon as she shows up, little children run to her “Rubbish Library” and ask for books. They are all carrying rubbish bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.

Can you imagine a world without insects? Without ants or flies in your house, it might sound great. However, the results may be out of imagination.

The number of insects has dropped by half in the past few years, according to a British biologist Dave Coulson. You may think small insects are not important. But in fact they are the main part of the species on Earth.

Insects are really on the way to extinction, according to the first review of insect population. The researchers say the main reason for this is the use of pesticides (杀虫剂) because they destroy insects’ living areas. Also, weather change is another important cause.

“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects will go down the way to extinction in a few years,” the researchers wrote in the review. “This will have huge, influences on the planet’s ecosystem (生态系统).”

We need insects to pollinate (授粉) crops. They also break down dead plants and animals, which can keep the soil healthy. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat and die of hunger. Then, the ecosystem would be off balance.

“If the number of insect species keep dropping, this will have bad influences on both Earth’s ecosystem and the living of us humans,” said one of the writers of the review.

“The first step to stop this is to let more people understand the values of the natural world,” he suggests. “The best place to start is from our children, who should realize environmental protection from an early age.”

1. Why has the number of insects dropped in the past few years?

A．Because people use lots of pesticides.

B．Because the land becomes less and less.

C．Because they break down dead plants and animals.

D．Because people catch and sell many insects every year.

2. What does the underlined word “extinction” mean in Chinese?

A．保护

B．伤害

C．损伤

D．灭绝

3. What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．Choose the best place for insects.

B．Keep the values of the natural plant.

C．Protect the environment from children.

D．Feed more insects in some good places.

4. We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．weather change has little influence on insects

B．humans’ actions influence the number of insects

C．insects may destroy the balance of the ecosystem

D．ants and flies are the main part of the species on Earth

【推荐3】How green are you? Do you know how to be green? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. As students, though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste to the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good.

Reuse

Reuse means “use again”. Use things as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in the recycling programs. We should aIso buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Now let’s remember these three words-reduce, reuse and recycle, and protect the environment together!

Some animals are the most dangerous animals in the world. However, most of them are also in danger.

Great White Sharks (大白鲨)    The great white sharks are famous for their size and their sharp teeth. These allow them to catch more food like fish. People call them the king of the sea. They are white and black. The adult (成年的) sharks can be 4—5.2m and 680—1,100kg.
