【推荐1】Most people love animals because they are useful（有用的）in many ways. They bring more fun to our life.
We find many different kinds of animals on the earth. Some animals, such as leopards（豹）. wolves（狼）, snakes, tigers, pandas and foxes（狐狸）live in big forests. They are called wild animals. Most of them are dangerous. Some others like cows and dogs live with men. They are called domestic animals. Animals are important to men. Men catch wild animals for their fur and meat. Skins（皮）of foxes and crocodiles（鳄鱼）can be made into coats and shoes. People are now stopped from killing wild animals in order to protect their lives. Domestic animals can not only give men food, but also help men with some farm work. Without them life could be less fun and more difficult. People get meat from sheep and pigs. From cows, we get milk. Horses can take us to other places. On farms, animals are used to plough（犁）fields.
It is clear that men can’t live without animals. Let’s protect animals. They are our best friends.

Here are some tips you can take to improve our environment.
Use compact fluorescent light bulbs(节能灯). It is true that these bulbs are more expensive, but they last much longer and they can save energy and in the long term your electricity bill would be reduced.
Donate. You have lots of clothes or things you want to throw away. If they are still usable, give them to someone who needs them. You may also choose to give them to associations(协会).
Turn off your devices. When you do not use a house device, turn it off. For example, if you don't watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when you leave a room. It's an easy habit to take up which will help you save a lot of money.

【推荐3】Are you looking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging—picking up litter while jogging. The new “sport” is becoming more and more popular with runners all over the world.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, Erik Alstrom moved to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. During his daily bike ride to work, he saw quite a lot of litter on the road.

【推荐3】China’s Eye In the Sky
July 31 was a big day for China. On that day, China’s first global satellite navigation (satnav) system (全球卫星导航系统), Beidou, started its full-scale (全面的) work. More than 120 countries and regions are now using Beidou services.
Beidou means “Big Dipper (北斗七星)” in Chinese. In old times, when people got lost, they looked up at the Big Dipper for direction (方向). Now, China’s own satellite navigation system, BeiDou, is there to keep us safe and bring us convenience.
With as many as 59 satellites (卫星), Beidou has “sharp eyes”. These satellites fly around the Earth. They can “see” rivers, forests and mountains. They can “see” houses and schools. Of course, they can “see” you, too! From space, they can tell where you are on the ground, with a difference of no more than 10 meters.
A satnav system uses groups of satellites. It sends information to a receiver (接收器), such as a smart phone. The more satellite a system has, the more accurate (精确的) it is.
Beidou is the world’s fourth navigation satellite system. The earliest system is the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the United States. The US has put 24 satellites into space to make sure GPS can locate (定位) a person correctly and globally. Likewise, Russia’s GLONASS and European Union’s Galileo can also work globally.
BeiDou can find you wherever you are. It helps you go faster by finding shortcuts (捷径) and using correct directions. It can look for mines (矿产) in deep mountains. It can give orders to driverless cars. This summer, Chinese people fought the flood in the South. Beidou helped measure (测量) the rise and fall of the flood water.
What’s more, when people are in danger and there is no cell phone signal, they can use Beidou to send a 1,200- word message to ask for help.

| C．a receiver like a smart phone | D．a group of receivers |
| A．7. | B．24. | C．59. | D．120. |
