TV news programs report the weather. Radio stations tell us the weather, too. Newspapers show us weather forecasts (预报) on maps.
Why do people want to know about the weather? Because people want to make plans. Some people want to have a good time with their friends. Other people want safety while doing their jobs.
Airport managers need to know about the weather. In bad weather, their planes cannot fly. Farmers need to know about the weather. In bad weather, they must protect their crops. Fishermen need to know about the weather. In bad weather, they cannot go out to fish.
Computers help us know about the weather. They get new weather information quickly. They can use this to predict how the weather might change. Unfortunately, we can still only guess the weather. Sometimes, we have difficulty in knowing about the weather. Then we will make wrong plans. We all hope that the weather will be easier to predict in the future.

【推荐1】In 2010, six people made history when they sailed (航行) across the Pacific Ocean in a boat. Why was this special? Because the boat was made from 12,500 used plastic (塑料的) bottles, and its name was Plastiki.
The journey wasn’t easy. They took 128 days to sail 9,000 miles across the ocean from California, USA to Australia. During this time, they lived on the boat, ate food from cans and took showers in sea water. So why did they do it? Because they wanted to draw people’s attention to the problem of plastic waste.
The Plastiki project was started by David de Rothschild. In 2006, he read about plastic pollution in the seas and oceans, and learnt that one plastic bottle lasts for 450 years!
Plastic waste causes 80% of ocean pollution, kills a million seabirds and 100,000 fish and other sea animals. Many people think that this plastic waste comes from ships, but they’re wrong. The amazing fact is that 80% of the plastic in the oceans is made of the rubbish we drop in our streets, parks and beaches.
The easiest way to make a difference is to stop using plastic shopping bags and disposable (一次性的) water bottles. The great thing is that now millions of people are “doing their own Plastiki” in their homes, schools and offices.
As David de Rothschild said, “We aren’t scientists, we’re ordinary people. We want to show that if we work together, we can do something”.

| B．To carry out a scientific research on the sea animals. |
| C．To help people learn some tips for an enjoyable sail. |

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It’s important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not elevators.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may come into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may get into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof . From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. But shes and grass can help to break a fall.
1. It’s serious to know how to escape from a fire.
2. In a fire we can use elevators to come down.
3. Windows can’t be used when you are waiting for help.
4. Doors must all be open so that smoke can come into the room.
5. The passage may help save your life in a fire.
【推荐3】Conflict (冲突) happens when two people disagree because of their own goals, values, or beliefs. It’s not always as simple as an argument.
Parents and teenagers have many chances to have conflict with one another. Adolescence (青春期) is a time when independence and parental influence fight, since teens are able to think on their own but still live with parents who have rules and expectations for them. When kids don’t show up at home late at night, their parents get worried. A worried parent becomes a scolding parent. When the teen does come home, he/she will get punishment.
Sometimes, teens want to have noisy fun while their parents want to sleep. This is a common conflict that happens every day. Parents might use the teenager’s grades to judge (判断) him/her every time the grades are reported. The conflict happens when the parents’ expectations aren’t met.
Finding the △ of conflicts is the first step to solve the conflict. Here are a few tips for parents and teenagers to use.
View each other as friends in the common goals you agree on, which usually include keeping teens safe and seeing them be successful.
List possible solutions to the conflict together. Just start listing creative ideas, whether they seem reasonable or not. Creativity is your friend when you’re solving any problems in life, including conflicts with others.
