    People can reduce, reuse or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.

First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school and then divided the rubbish into three groups:

•things that were reusable, such as a pencil or a marker

•things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper

•things that were truly waste

Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They discovered that 84% of the total rubbish thrown away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.

Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked with the Student Council. They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling. After thinking over the possibility of the programme, the school bought colored containers for each classroom. Besides, each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass and cans as well as a red container for real rubbish.

Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was thrown. To check the school’s progress, Matt and Sam weighed the rubbish one more time. They collected the rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before, sorted the rubbish into three groups again and weighed each group. This time, they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their efforts.

Many on the Mountain

We often see people waiting in lines at supermarkets, theatres and amusement parks. Surprisingly, some people even have to wait in line at the summit (顶峰)of Qomolangma in the Himalayas.

The best time to climb the Himalayas is during the months of April and May, as well as some days in September and October. "In these periods of recent years, the path contains rocks and deep crack from melting ice due to the warm weather, which make expeditions up the mountain more dangerous,said Apa, an experienced Nepalese guide. During this year's climbing season, crowds of climbers became stuck in a long line near the summit. The line is above the mountain's highest campsite — about 8,000 meters above sea level.

However, most people can only spend a few minutes at the summit without extra oxygen supplies. Twenty-one mountaineers have died in the Himalayan mountains so far this year, according to Gripped, a magazine dedicated to mountain climbing. Eleven of these climbers died on Qomolangma.

This death count marks a four-year high. Overcrowding, inexperience and poor weather have been the most common causes of death, USA Today reported.

After these tragedies, one question remains: Why do so many people risk their lives to climb the mountain? The answer differs from climber to climber. Studies suggest that people who take risks tend to perceive themselves differently than people who avoid risky activities. But for adventurers who are drawn to the Himalayas, reaching the summit of Qomolangma is a lifelong dream, according to Discovery News.

''Qomolangma is like a light to bugs that attracts people once they hear about it. It represents the ultimate for many people, '' US mountaineer Alan Arnette said. Technological advances have also encouraged more people to climb the mountain. People can get high-tech safety equipment more easily than before. And with the internet, climbers know better than ever about how to reach the summit safely, Yahoo Travel noted.

1.What happened during this year's climbing season on Qomolangma?

A.Many climbers got stuck due to a snowstorm.

B.Climbers had to wait in line near the summit.

C.The highest campsite was closed for safety reasons.

D.There were not enough oxygen supplies for climbers.

2.What do we know from the USA Today report?

A.21 climbers have lost their lives on Qomolangma this year.

B.This year's climber death count is four times more than last year's.

C.Climbers who have less experience may have a higher risk of death.

D.Climbers can only spend a few minutes at the summit of Qomolangma.

3.What does the underlined word "perceive” in paragraphs mean?

A.Think. B.Change. C.Pretend. D.Promise.

4.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?

A.The risks on Qomolangma.

B.Mountaineers lifelong dream.

C.Causes of mountaineers, deaths.

D.Reasons for climbing Qomolangma.

    Fans of art believe that its main purpose is to make us look at life from many different angles. When it comes to Cubism, however, the artists of this era wanted us to look at life from every angle.

The father of Cubism, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, is among the art world's most famous names. Like many other great names before him, he felt restrained by the rules of his teachers and decided to do something: break them.

Early in his painting career, Picasso realized something important about how people view and remember scenes of beauty. When we look at a subject, we don’t just see it from one angle, as many paintings appear. Instead, we study the subject from a number of different angles, heights and viewpoints. This is the aim of Cubism: It portrays subjects from a wide range of angles; it doesn’t force us to see things as the artist viewed them at the time he or she painted them. To bring his visions to life, Picasso and other Cubists took the most basic components of a subject and rearranged them in a way which let us see it in full detail.

“By breaking objects and figures down into distinct areas, Picasso aimed to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space,” in the words of the Tate Institution. Or as Lithuanian-born Cubist Jacques Lipchitz once put it: “Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different.”

Cubism stood out as it was an art movement which didn't just rely on the artist to share their vision by painting what they saw. As cubist paintings mainly show their subjects in a deconstructed form, this means that viewers must use their imaginations to find the missing pieces for themselves. As Guardian art critic Johnathan Jones noted, this is part of the beauty of enjoying Picasso’s works. “If you can relax your gaze enough and just enjoy the painting long enough, something really amazing happens. Your mind produces a solid feeling of the things Picasso was looking at the world is revealed in its majesty,” he wrote.

1.What is a main features of cubist works?

A.They are simple pictures. B.They break things down into parts.

C.They are mainly in black and white. D.They present scenes of life to viewers.

2.Why are Jacques Lipchitz’s words quoted?

A.To point out the origin of cubism.

B.To compare cubism with other schools of art.

C.To show his understanding of what cubism was.

D.To show that mountains were a common subject in cubism.

3.Which word would Jonathan Jones probably use to describe cubist works?

A.Imaginative. B.Traditional. C.Colorful. D.Life-like.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Seeing Every Side. B.The History of Cubism.

C.The Beauty of Enjoying. D.Pablo Picasso: A Great Cubist.
