3 . In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal: a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the "eyes" for a blind person or "ears" for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for "patients".
Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don't kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.

In the past, life was very hard, and many people were very poor. Lots of them had no enough food to eat. There were many people in a family and they lived a poor life. In those poor days, people had little meat to eat. They had vegetables every meal. Most of people can only eat some meat at the Spring Festival.
Now, life is becoming richer and richer. People can eat meat every meal. So they eat a lot of meat. They rarely have vegetables. As a result, they get fatter and fatter. They live a rich but unhealthy life.

There are also individual(个人的) sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain-climbing are the most popular ways for people who like to be outdoor.

6 . We often forget that people in other countries eat different things from us. In some countries, for example, rice is a staple food. In others, such as Britain and America, bread made from wheat is the most important food. In many African countries a kind of corn called maize is the most important food.
Most countries have dishes that were first created there. In China such dishes as sweet and sour pork, shark’s fin soup are very common. In Thailand and India people eat any different curries. They like their food hot and spicy. In England, a favorite dish is roast beef. The Italians eat pasta, which is a kind of noodle made from wheat. French food is very famous everywhere. It is often very rich.
In recent years fast food—sometimes called ‘junk food’—has become very popular all over the world. It was invented in the USA, and the first fast food was the hamburger. Interestingly, a hamburger does not actually contain ham. It’s made from ground beef .There are restaurants and takeout places selling hamburgers in most cities of the world.
The most international food, however, is Chinese. There probably isn’t a city anywhere that does not have at least one Chinese restaurant. This is because there are so many different dishes from so many different parts of China that there is something for everyone, whatever their favorite kind of food．

9 . March 29 is Earth Day. Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!
The earth has warmed by about 1（华氏度） over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the earth warmer.
First, greenhouse effect （温室效应） is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate （气候） change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island,100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999.Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
1. Earth Day is probably set for people to .| A．learn more about the earth | B．make full use of the earth |
| C．take better care of the earth | D．study the warmth of the earth |
| A．not very clear | B．completely secret |
| C．well known | D．not given yet |
| A．sea rising | B．climate change |
| C．nature’s unbalance | D．people’s activity |
| A．animals and islands |
| B．climate and the warmth of the earth |
| C．fridges and animals |
| D．sea level and the growth of plants |
| A．there is more rain now | B．we should protect the earth |
| C．we must stop pollution | D．sea level is getting higher |
10 . Rainforestsare some of the most beautiful places on the Earth. Tall trees grow high into the air. Millions of different kinds of animals run and play under the trees. Rainforests cover two percent of the earth, but they have over 50 percent of the world’s plants and animals.
It takes at least one minute to plant a tree. In that minute, 60 hectares（亩) of rainforests are destroyed forever. Six kinds of animals become extinct; they will never be seen again.
Every second, people cut down one hectare of rainforests. They use the trees to make things like paper. Because they cut down the trees so fast, the rainforests become smaller and smaller. By 2030, they will all be gone.
You can help save the rainforests. Try not to use too much paper; then paper companies will not cut down so many trees.

1. Rainforests are some of _______ on the earth.
