2 . 根据短文内容简要回答下面的问题

Once there were four beggars (乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.

“I only got this piece of meat today,” the first said. “I almost got nothing,” the second said, “I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day.” The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, “I only got some old beans, but they aren’t very nice!”

As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea. “Let’s put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat alone later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. At the same time, the other beggars had similar ideas to his. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.

Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and , in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness doesn’t taste all that good.

Dr. Jack Tod is very interested in cleaning water.     1    . So it’s natural that he is to develop a small and affordable system (系统) to clean waste water. His “Living Machine” can clean waste water in your home or in your business.

    2    . The waste water goes into a big plastic tank where bacteria (细菌) start to break down the waste. A few days later after it is dealt with, the water is brought into a greenhouse filled with plants and fish.     3    , the plants and animals remove (去掉) more chemicals from the water, making it cleaner. Then the water can be reused for washing or bathing.     4    , but the water is clean enough for watering the flower, washing the dog, or even swimming.

The advantage of this technology is that it is affordable and good for the environment. If enough homes and businesses use “Living Machines”, it can help to use less fresh water, and it can help keep the water supply unpolluted.

B．With the help of sunlight

C．He is also interested in saving money

D．It cannot be used for drinking or cooking

4 . I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life.

Children show you their true feeling. They know what a good thing is and what a bad thing is better than adults. In their world, they show up their all real thoughts. They are easy to forget what is not good. They may easily have different opinions with old people,but they never understand what is to hate.

They enjoy having a lot of friends, but they never think about making social communication net (网). Every child talks from his heart without evil (邪恶的) plans hidden and never intrigues (耍阴谋) against each other. They enjoy playing in the open air and flying in their own worlds like birds. In fact, things always happen out of expectation (期待). They are easy to laugh and cry when they meet the things. They don’t do what other people like, they only do what they like in their own ways.

Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did in their childhood. Then, we can break down the walls between our hearts and the world would be a better place to live in.

The baby eagle fell down, faster and faster. He looked up at his mum, “Why do you abandon me?” He looked down at the earth. The ground was much closer. Then something strange happened.
