One day, I was doing my homework in the bedroom. All of sudden, the light went out, leaving me in totally darkness. My mother came in with a candle. When I light the candle, the bedroom was brightened at once. I looked at the candle and was lost in thoughts. It is very small, and it isn’t worth many. But what it gives us are great. It brightens the way of many scientist; it brightens the desks of my teachers; it also brightens my mind. I think I should learn with the candle. Small as it is, but it tries its best to giving us light and heat.
There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt.

At the end of last summer my parents’ house in Tunstall went up in flames. Several months on, we’re still trying to find out exactly what happened, but my parents John and Carole were out when more than half the house was burned to the ground. What was left behind needed to be pulled down and most of the things that were not actually destroyed were so smoke-damaged that they would have to be thrown away.
My parents were both teachers and not the kind of people to fill their house with expensive furniture, so most of their belongings were memories-----including photos and the tracksuit(运动服) that Dad was given when he carried the Olympic torch (火炬). But what really upset me was not the loss of these things.
Dad had an album(唱片) for every occasion. Once his car got broken into and he was more upset that his cassettes had been nicked(划伤) than about all the rest of the damage. So when I was considering doing something to help after the fire, I immediately thought about his music. We couldn’t get the old photos back, but we could replace his CDs and records. Then I started a little page about my dad on the blogging site Tumblr.
Within a few days, news of what had happened spread by word of mouth, and I was getting messages from friends I hadn’t spoken to for years. I also heard from Dad’s mates and even from people neither of us had ever met. Soon packages arrived from all over the country. I expected 100CDs if we were lucky, but his new collection would now run into the thousands!
On Christmas Day, all the records, tapes and CDs were packed into a beautiful box, which of course, was for my dad. A lot of them came from his previous students and he was touched to realize what an effect he had had on their lives. Eventually , he told me, “What could have been a bad Christmas has been a very good one.”

The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking(缩小) at an alarming rate-----about 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.
“It’s not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; it’s more like the whole area,” said photographer Mortize Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied on were diverted(使改道).Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.
Mineral extraction(开采) industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and other consumer products.
And then, of course, there’s the Middle East’s hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself.
Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea’s water levels stable(稳定). It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump water into the Dead Sea.
But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.
The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. And because of what has been happening over the years, the salt is only getting saltier.
1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for the Dead Sea’s shrinking mentioned in the text?
A. Some of its water sources being diverted.
B. The extraction of the minerals in the sea.
C. Visitors from all over the world swimming in it.
D. The hot, dry climate in the Middle East.
2.What can we learn about the Dead Sea’s minerals?
A. They have practical value.
B. They are controlled by Israel.
C. They can be extracted very easily.
D. They are mainly used in heavy industries.
3.What does the underlined word “replenish” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. To clean something. B. To improve something.
C. To fill something again. D. To find something again.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. What we should do to save the Dead Sea
B. More people travel to the Dead Sea
C. Why the Dead Sea is salty
