It was just another busy day until I met the boy on the bus. He was not a passenger like me. He was, what we call a street child, an 8-10-year-old kid with a worn T-shirt. These poorly dressed kids were seen almost everywhere in Dhaka city. But what was special about that boy was his face. There was “something” in him that caught my attention. That was an angelic(天使般的)baby face with little care.

He got straight into the bus as it stopped at a traffic light. The bus helper shouted at him in the first place. But instead of talking back, the boy kept silent and started handing out a piece of paper to all the passengers. What was written in the paper was, in short, that his father died a couple of years ago. His mother worked at houses. He badly needed money to help his family, so he wished someone warm-hearted to buy chocolates from him.

This was nothing new to people who took a bus every day and I was no different. I had my earphones on, listening to some relaxing music to kill time. When he came to me to get the paper back, I casually gave him some money. Thankfully it brought some smiles on his face. He was about to give me ten chocolates in return for the money I gave to him when I stopped him.

“I don’t like chocolates, brother. So there is no need of chocolates. You can have the money,” I said.

All of a sudden, the smile on his face disappeared.

“I’m not a beggar. Please take the chocolate, or take your money back.”

His straight answer greatly surprised me. I even felt he was slightly angry. I had given money to many kids before, without taking their chocolates. But this time something seemed different. I realized his angelic baby face was not the only thing special about him.

4 . Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities.     1     There are several ways that you can help protect this planet we call home.

Use reusable bags. Plastic bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment.     2     Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose(分解). There-fore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.

    3     Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money. A lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, for example, even offer a discount to customers who use a reusable container for their drinks.

Save electricity. Use energy-efficient light bulbs(灯泡)instead of regular bulbs.     4     What’s more, make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other devices when you are not using them. Turn off your air conditioning or heat when it’s not necessary. This is especially true as the seasons change. Open your windows in the early fall or put on more clothes in the early winter.

Save water. More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on until you’re ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes.     5    

A．Use reusable drink containers.

B．Use the air conditioning less often.

C．And students without doubt can make a difference.

D．They last longer, which will save you a bit of money.

E．Everyone should take measures to fight against the water pollution.

F．These can kill animals who get stuck in them or mistake them for food.

G．Developing these habits will be good for both the environment and your wallet.

5 . Some people travel to relax, while others for experience. But are you tired of the high-priced or crowded tourist attractions in big cities? Here are a few perfect places to go for relaxation.

China’s Silk Road

Traveling to China’s Silk Road is a journey of contrasts: Han and Uyghur ethnicities(维吾尔族), Eastern and Central Asian cultures, natural and man-made wonders, dry desert and Alpine Mountain scenery. The scenery is more beautiful when the flowers come out and green grass covers the earth.

Qinghai Lake

Qinghai Lake is the shining jewel of northwest China. The lake is quieter and more peaceful when it is decorated with yellow grasslands and snow-covered mountains. Standing on the banks, you will have a wide view of the scenery. This huge lake and quiet environment will make you feel at peace and in natural beauty.

Daocheng

Daocheng is a popular stopover point on the journey to Yading, a place where you can appreciate the nature of the Tibetan minority culture. In autumn, the red bushes combined with the yellow leaves under the clear blue sky are believed to exhibit the colors of heaven. The temples in these mountains represent the local culture.

Yangtze River

The Yangtze River tour is blessed with beautiful natural landscapes and places of interest to be seen along the way.

6 . Not only was Gene Stratton-Porter one of Indiana's most well-known authors, but she was also an environmentalist, photographer, and artist. Gene shared her passion for the environment and wildlife in her writing and used her influence to fight for the preservation of nature and alert others to the importance of their natural surroundings.

Born in 1863 in Indiana, she grew up with a love of nature and spent most of her innocent childhood wandering through farms and forests, catching butterflies and observing birds like doves and small animals like geese. In 1886, Gene married Charles Porter. Although she expressed happiness with her family life, Gene lived a more independent life traditionally unavailable to women in the late nineteenth century. Gene insisted on writing and photographing wildlife around her cabin near Limberlost Swamp. There she expressed her passionate feelings towards nature and its preservation. She spent much time in Limberlost, and later the cabin became the site where she conducted field studies on Indiana's natural environment.

Early in her life, Gene studied nature in the Limberlost Swamp and recorded her thorough observations through photographs and detailed writings. Gene published dozens of books—novels, nature studies, poetry collections and children's books. Her books mainly connect readers to natural settings and earn her a high reputation. One of her best-known novels, A Girl of the Limberlost is about a lonely girl who lives on a farm and escapes from her sufferings in Limberlost.

Gene's legacy (遗留物)is visible not only within her books, photography and films but also within the Limberlost Swamp, which eventually faded away to the farmland. Fortunately, through her hard work and dedication, the land is slowly being restored to its natural state, with over 400 acres preserved for nature study today.

1. Which of the following can best describe Gene?

A．Considerate.

B．Mysterious.

C．Productive.

D．Generous.

2. What can we learn about Gene in the 1880s?

A．She conveyed her passion for natural conservation.

B．She was absorbed in her happy family life totally.

C．She spent an unforgettable childhood on the farm.

D．She moved to Limberlost to enjoy independence.

3. What made Gene obtain a wide recognition?

A．Publishing many books of different types.	B．Teaching herself to learn photography.
C．Taking various pictures of surroundings.	D．Getting her readers more access to nature.

4. What is Limberlost Swamp like now?

A．It centers on preserving the wildlife.	B．It is turning into its original condition.
C．It offers cabins for scientific research.	D．It has transferred to farmland forever.

7 . Summer is coming, and soon beaches will be full of the sounds of people having fun: splashing (泼洒) in waves and playing in the sand. But imagine finding a quieter spot of ocean. If you could stick your ears under the water, you might hear other sounds. And many of those sounds are made by fish.

People have known that fish make sounds since ancient Greece; that is why they gave some fish names like red drum, pig fish or croaker. “They’re based on the sounds these fish make,” said Audrey Looby. She studies fish sounds at the University of Florida.

So far, about 1,000 fish species have been recorded making sounds. Looby’s favorite-sounding fish is the Gulf toadfish. It makes an amazing sound like a boat whistle. Scientists are not sure how many fish make sounds. Some think that it might be as many as 22,000 types, about two-thirds of the 34,000 fish species known. And those are just the sounds fish make on purpose.

Fish sounds are important because they give a lot of information about what is going on to other fish, and to scientists. If scientists hear a fish chewing, then they know there is food available. The warning noises of certain fish species give information, too. They can tell scientists how many fish are living on a reef and where they are located. And fish sounds can tell where the endangered species are located, too, said Looby.

Fish sounds might even help preserve and bring back fish habitats. For example, scientists want to try playing healthy fish sounds in a reef that is dying. The healthy sounds might encourage fish to return and live in the dying reef. “Learning about fish sounds lets us learn about underwater environments and hopefully manage them at the same time,” Looby said.

1. Why are some fish names mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．To make a prediction.

B．To think highly of ancient Greece.

C．To introduce a new research.

D．To present a rule about naming fishes.

2. What can be learnt about fish sounds?

A．They are made by accident.

B．They sound like boat whistles.

C．They remain partly mysterious.

D．They are fully explored scientifically.

3. What might fish sounds help scientists with?

A．Locating reefs.	B．Recovering fish habitats.
C．Identifying species.	D．Identifying the types of reefs.

4. What do the last two paragraphs mainly focus on?

A．The significance of fish sounds.

B．The explanation of fish sounds.

C．The distribution of fish sounds.

D．The classification of fish sounds.
