   People living in the UK .take quite a few holidays abroad and in this country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.

While on holiday:

   Many of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home--but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:

   ●Making the most of locally produced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport;

   ●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect;

   ● Save water--some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats.

Endangered species:

   Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if in doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.

Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting:

   There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment:

   ●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats;

   ●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

   When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments shining against the green of a pine. "Where did it come from?" I asked.

    "I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but-such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…" The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the, tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.  "It's not like the one you used to find." my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的)."

    "Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect." It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

1. From para. 1, we can infer that        .

   A. the writer spent his first wartime Christmas at home

   B. Not all the soldiers were allowed to go home for Christmas

   C. all the soldiers would have three-day passes for Christmas

   D. the writer could not go home for Christmas

2. When the writer got home,         .

   A. it was December 23

   B. it was snowing heavily

   C. he found a Christmas tree in the living room

   D. the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree

3. "All Christmas trees are perfect", because they can remind you of        .

   A. the wartime                    B. the green of a pine

   C. the pleasant moment             D. the sweet home

4. The best title for this passage would be "        ".

   A. How to Choose a Christmas Tree

   B. How Soldiers Spent Christmas
