Animals are unlike people. They can't speak. They are not able to express themselves even if they feel pain and sadness. 1. Now ,we can learn from Sophie Smith and be animals' true friends— a volunteer working for animals.

On Feb. 3, 2014, a girl from Massachusetts, the US, said that circuses（马戏团）should no more use hooks（钩子）or chains on elephants. And the government should do something

2.   They can’t walk freely. And chains bring them great pain. Some people even use hooks when they train elephants. The hooks are sharp and bring elephants much more pain. Circus actors even push a hook into an elephant's body to move it along during a show. “After some time, the elephant's skin breaks down. It feels the pain, but it can’t say anything. It can' t say no to those cruel people." Sophie told local newspaper Marblehead Reporter. She also said that it would be bad for children.

3.    Back in 2011, as a sixth-grader, she searched for different animal protection groups online and helped them.

So when she spoke in front of 70 people at the state house, Sophie was not afraid. She was full of courage.

“Elephants aren’t treated with kindness.  4.  I speak for them with my voice, and my love." she said.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.

1.Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.

A．he can’t read or write

B．he doesn’t use his memory

C．his parents haven’t a good memory

D．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time

2.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.

A．you can’t use them any more

B．they will become stronger

C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again

D．they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again

3.Which of the following is TRUE ?

A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs

B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice

C．Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory

D．A good memory comes from less practice

4.Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.

A．his own fault

B．his parents’ fault

C．his teachers’ fault

D．his grandmother’s fault

How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young，we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”，Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse

Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things，make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials，such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words：reduce, reuse and recycle.

1.What is the passage about?

A. How to produce things.   B. How to burn things.

C. How to help others.      D. How to be green.

2.Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box ?

A. You can burn them.

B. You can use them again.

C. you can throw them away.

D. You can change them into something else.

3.To protect the environment. we should remember these three words：

A. waste，reuse and recycle

B. repair，burn and recycle

C. reduce，reuse and recycle

D. reduce, waste and recycle

4.The passage may come from        .

A. a menu    B. a dictionary   C. a storybook   D. a magazine

Women make up 50 percent of world’s population and yet they are not treated equally. They hold less than one-fifth of the all parliamentary (议会) seats around the world， occupy less than 19 percent of board (董事会) seats in Fortune 500 companies and earn 17 percent less than men for similar skills and positions. As a group， they are passed over and looked down on.

On March 8 every year， millions of women around the world celebrate International Women’s Day. It is possible that you may not have heard about the International Women’s Day in the United States. Yet Women's Day had its origin in the United States.

Women’s Day was first celebrated in February 1909 in the US to mark the one-year anniversary of the New York Garment Worker’s Strike of 1908. Women used the chance to fight against warring and fight for women’s vote rights.

Did you know that it was a Women’s Day protest in St. Petersburg in 1917， which led to the revolution (革命) for bringing down the Russian empire? After the Russian revolution， Women’s Day came to be celebrated as a communist (共产主义的) or socialist (社会主义的) holiday. As a result， the United States government didn’t accept it as a holiday.

Today Women’s Day is celebrated in places such as China and Russia as a sort of state-approved Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. The tradition in these countries is to give flowers and gifts to the important women in one's life.

In 1975， the United Nations officially announced March 8 as International Women’s Day. Since then， it has been a practice to suggest an annual theme for each year. The theme for 2016 is "Pledge For Parity." It calls on women and men to challenge the present state and inspire positive change in their communities and workplaces.

There is a lot that needs to be done. As a society， we need to offer women and girls chances to make their dreams come true， have equal chances for leadership， respect and value differences， and develop a better work environment. This day challenges and reminds that everyone can be a leader in their own small way and can take positive steps to bring about gender equality.

Our world can truly be balanced when we use the potential that women have to offer. As we prepare children for the future， it is important that girls and women not be left behind.

An east China highway pile-up on April 2nd has killed three people and injured 31 others. That day was the first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated. Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22 remain hospitalized， Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at Weibo.com.

The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing. It drew public attention as people began posting photos and videos on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo. Images showed dozens of trucks， buses and cars crashed into each other. People were standing on top of the vehicles.

Local police told Xinhua Press that at least two trucks， three buses and 20 cars were involved. Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads.

What’s more， it was difficult for ambulances (救护车)to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles， which delayed the rescue of the injured.

The Ministry (部长) of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy.

All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane. Some drivers， however， pay no attention to this rule. Therefore， the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved.

The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潜在的) danger. The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (违规者) and heavily fine drivers for it.

3.In total， how many people received treatment in the hospital in Wuxi?

4.About the accident， which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．There was no life emergency lane at the scene of the accident.

B．In China， the left side of the highway is used as life emergency lane.

C．The life emergency lane at the scene of the accident was full of vehicles.

D．The police have decided to reduce electronic monitoring instruments after the accident.

5.According to the passage， why do the police ask drivers to be off the emergency lane?

On Saturday Patrick woke up with a little shock， knowing that this was a special day. For a moment he couldn’t think exactly why， and then， with an excited flutter of his stomach， he remembered.
