【推荐1】It is important to learn how to protect our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us.

Reduce: If you want to reduce the waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper wastefully, soon we would not have any trees left. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.

Reuse: You should always think of reusing the able things before throwing them away. For example, we should buy reusable forks and knives instead of ones we throw away. Bring cups to the coffee shop and cloth bags to the store. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

Recycle: Recycling uses less energy and fewer resources (资源). Bottles, cans (罐子) and paper cups can be easily recycled. They can be remade into the same thing or new things.

Recover: When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten (腐烂的) ones, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

Repair: If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after repairing them.

Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.

【推荐1】Read a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.

You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics.

Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”   

When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you from going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!

Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability.

After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts. And when you read, make sure you read so wide because the more you read, the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.

1. According to the author, what should students do in terms of reading?

A．They needn’t read unless the exams come.

B．They should read books about intelligence.

C．They must read about politics when their major is medicine.

D．They should read as wide as possible.

2. The underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．interested

B．many-sided

C．content

D．confident

3. Which is NOT the advantage of reading?

A．Enlarge our vocabulary	B．Improve our reading
C．Travel with money	D．Get experience from others

4. What is the benefit of knowing more words?

A．You will get used to referring to the dictionary when meeting with new words.

B．You will have less difficulty expressing your opinions.

C．Vocabulary will improve your creativity.

D．You can pass your exams with ease.

5. What is the best title for the passage?
