It was fine last Sunday and all the students in our class go to the suburb of our city to plant tree. On arriving the planting place at 8 o’clock, the teacher asked every of us to plant 5 trees at least. Then we set out digging, planting and watering. All of us were working hardly to finish our task, afraid of falling behind. Among us, our monitor set a good example to us. Despite his illness, he accepted his task and finished it ahead of the time. Then he went on to help other without any rest. After work, he was wet all over. He looked pale and full of joy. Look at lines of the young trees, we smiled pleasantly.

Americans won’t live without cars! Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets, as millions of new cars are produced．One of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas．
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car．However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars．The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health．
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car that does not pollute．That’s what several large car factories are trying to do．But to build the new car is easier said than done．Progress in this field has been slow．
Another way is to take place of the car engine by something else．Engineers are now working on some new cars．Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man．
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live．Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike．Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean．
But this change does not come easily．A large number of workers may find themselves with no jobs if a car factory closes down．And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment．
1.Large car factories are trying to build a clean car, ．
A．which is clean itself
B．which is used to clean streets
C．which does not pollute the air
D．which is easier to make
2.If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem in American workers is ．
A．to have no work to do B．to keep the air clean
C．to get a better life D．to go to work by bike
3.What is the conclusion of the writer?
A．Bicycling is the only way out．
B．The number of ears must be cut down.
C．Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.
D．Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems
When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.
“What excited me most was whether there were planets in other solar systems where life might exist,” he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting other stars like our Sun.”
And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995,” Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it and our patience paid off.”
Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family” of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like planet orbiting star 55Cancri.
At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.
Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features in our solar system. The first is Jupiter. “Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids(小行星), or they all come and hit the Earth.” Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed.”
A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life!”
1.What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?
A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.
B. He is from a scientist family.
C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.
D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.
2.Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?
A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.
B. The planet is close to star 55Cancri.
C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.
D. The planet is as large as Jupiter.
3. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler began to find new planets in ____.
A. 1995 B. 1985 C.2002 D. 1981
4. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55Cancri system because ____.
A. he has found the system similar to the solar system.
B. he has discovered an Earth-like planet there.
C. he has discovered a rocky planet there.
D. he has found signs of life in the system
