My Earth Day Birthday

My name is Tara, and this year I had the best birthday ever! My birthday is on April 22-Earth Day. Icall it my “Earth Day Birthday”. Every year, Ido something special on my birthday to help the environment. Last year my mom and Ihelped clean up a beach. Ihad a great time and learned a lot about ocean animals. But this year’s celebration was even better!

Back in January, my teacher, Ms. Gonzales, told usthat the school would hold a special Earth Day celebration this year. Because of my birthday, my classmates put me in charge of the whole thing!

After discussing,we had a great plan. Some family members even helped us with our projects. We were surprised at how fast the time flew. Before we knew it, Earth Day had arrived.

When our class planned the Earth Day fair, we knew that kids from our school and their families would come. We had no idea that our whole town and other towns nearby would hear about it. But during the fair, a news van（新闻车）pulled up with a television reporter and a camera person!

After Ms. Gonzales talked with the reporter,shecalled me over and introducedus. She told him that Ihad helped to organize the fair. The reporter asked how Ihad become involved in environmental activities. I told him that Idecidedto do something to make a difference when I sawa dead turtle in Mexico. He said he thought our Earth Day fair was a big success.

Iwas really excited about being on television. But Iwas even more excited when Igot a phone call that night from our town’s mayor（镇长）. She told me she had seenthe news about the fair.And she willhold an Earth Day celebration for the whole town next year. She wants to include special activities for kids, and asked me to work with her!

I’m so happy that Ifound a way to helpthe environment and Ihad a chance to get more people involved. Maybe the life of that sea turtle Isaw in Mexico wasn’t a waste after all.

2.Who even helped the students with their projects?

3.Whatdid Ms. Gonzales do aftershe talked withthe reporter?

4.Whenwill the town’s mayor hold an Earth Day celebration?

Eating habits

Eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying “1.  , eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many Britishagree that one should start theday with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.

People in UK do not usually have rice or noodles for breakfast. 2. . Hot tea, coffee and milk are their usual breakfast drinks.

Most Britishpeople only give themselves a short time for lunch. 3. . Lunch is taken later in UK, at about 1 p.m. While Chinese people like a hot, filling lunch, many Britishpeoplemay just have a sandwich. There are also differences in the way schoolchildren eat lunch. In the past, British children ate hot lunches at school, as most children in China do now, although the food was different. Today, British schoolchildren bring their own lunches to school. They usually eat a sandwich and a piece of fruit.

The evening meal is the most important meal in both countries. 4. , and so do many people in UK. After work theywill have more time to eat a big dinner. In most families in UK,thereis meat with two or three vegetables and then something sweet. But in China people often have more dishes, and usually with some soup.

And of course, in both countries people look forward to their most important festivals: Christmas in UK, and the Spring Festival in China. 5.  ,there is one thing in common –the happiness of being with their families and loved ones.

A. In China people have dinner at about 6 p.m.

B. Although the food they eat is different

C. Eat good things forbreakfast

D. So they eat a small lunch

E. They eat bread instead

Are “Basics”Enough for Students?

An American education expert says many schools are spending too much time teaching the ―basics‖ – reading, math and writing. That might be different from what educators have been saying in America. But U.S. Education Secretary John King says children really need a well-rounded（全面的）education that includes music and the arts.

King spoke about his own education when explaining why schools need to teach more than math, reading and writing. His parents died when he was young. He said things in his house were frightening. It was his teacher in Grades Four, Five and Six – Mr. Osterweil – who helped him escape from his difficult life at home. Each day in Mr. Osterweil’s class, students would read a newspaper. The teacher took him and his classmates to the theater, the zoos and famous museums.

“Those were powerful, life-changing experiences,‖ King says. After he graduated from Harvard University, he took charge of New York State public schools from 2011-2015. ―I’m alive today, I’m doing the work that I do today because I had Mr. Osterweil during that period of my life,‖ King says. ―Students need to connect their studies to things that matter to them, such as music, if they want to become a thinker.‖

A 2013 report by UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）, says world needs people to be able to solve new and unusual problems now. It says arts can help students find those answers. In the report, UNESCO says teaching the arts in China, South Korea and Japan is different from that in many western countries. ―The educators in those three countries pay more attention on joyful experiences and children’s interests,‖ the report says. ―In the West, educators are more likely to connect the arts to reading, writing and math.”

Comparing countries is hard because they have different ways to define success. For example some people may think getting high marks in exams is success, while others may hold different views. A 2014 survey by the Program for International Student Assessment tried to compare how well countries teach children how to solve problems. It found Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and China with the highest scores. Singapore was the top one with a score of 562 out of 1,000. The average（平均的） score was 500. The United States had a score of 508, one point behind Germany.

So it may be worth rethinking what we should focus on in our class. The ―basics‖ is not the only part of education.

1. We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. King’s family life was warm and happy

B. King’s teacher focused on ―basics‖ more

C. educators in the West teach music for joy

D. arts can help students solvenew problems

2. The word “define” in Paragraph 6 probably means―_________”

A. get the pleasure of   B. make full use of

C. give the meaning of   D. take the place of

3. The writer probably agrees that______.

A. students need more than “basics”to learn

B. getting high marks in exams is success

C.education depends a lot on the hobbies

D. we need more time to learn “basics”

A workmate of mine lives in the same street as me. He drives about 5 kilometres to work every day while I cycle the same distance almost every day. I must say that I occasionally（偶尔地）take the car if the weather is very bad, or I am very tired or in a hurry. Imagine my surprise when I cycled to work one day, went for a shower in the sports centre and saw my neighbor in the gym on the cycling machine after driving to work! I share an office with another workmate who lives near to me. She drives to work every day and, the end of the day, she drives to a gym. I don’t see the logic（逻辑）. It would be much easier to cycle to work so that you have some exercise every day as part of your daily routine.

I try to advise them to cycle to work, so I did some research about the benefits of cycling to work. Of course, cycling has some advantages over driving. It is cheaper, it is better for the environment, and you don’t have to find a parking space. The point about the parking space is an important one as the car parks are often full. I know that my workmate sometimes spends 15 minutes looking for a parking space! It is true that cycling is a little slower than going by car, but at rush hour it doesn’t make much difference. The time it takes to cycle is generally easier to predict than the time it takes to drive. When there is heavy traffic, people on bicycles can get past, while people in cars have to wait.

There are clear health benefits to cycling. According to one expert, if you cycle regularly you should be as fit as a younger person. I am 47 and I still play football in a team,so I would say that his opinion is true. As well as being good for your health, cycling can reduce stress. I also find that when I can’t solve a problem at work, the answer often comes to me when I am cycling. Sometimes the harder you think about a problem, the harder it is to find the solution. And you really need to pay less attention to the problems. Cycling relaxes the mind.

I am going to say to my workmates “two wheels good, four wheels bad” every day until they get on their bikes!

A. Get on Your Bike Now

A Man of Vision(视觉)

In 1809, Louis Braille was born in a small town in France.When he was three years old, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes.The sickness spread to his other eye. Later, Louiswas unable to see.

Louis’s parents took him out of schooltwo years later. They thought that there was nothing more for him to learn there. He could not read or write.

When he was ten years old, Louis’s parents sent him to a special school inParis. It was one of the first schools for blind people in the world. Louis learned many skills at this school. Oneof them was reading.

Back then, blind people read by feeling raised letters on the paper. But it was difficult. Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.

Louis wantedto find a better way for blind people to read. He tried to create a touch system for reading and writing. He believed a system of raised dot（小点）could help. Night Writing-a writing system for soldiers was used. But he didn’t think it was good enough. This system did not allow the fingertip（指尖）to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel theletter.

After years of hard work, he invented a shorter, easier form of this touch system. He used six dots to form each letter. It allowed a personto feel a whole letter without moving. Blind people could read much faster and easier.

Today, we call this form of written language Braillein honour of Louis Braille.

Louis died in 1852. However, his form of communication lives on. Though he became blind at a young age,he insisted a lot. Instead, he overcame the difficulty, and madea big difference.

1. When Louis was three years old, he __________.

A. was sent to a special school

B. moved to a town in France

C. was takenout of school

D. hurt one of his eyes

2.For blind people, feeling raised letters on the paper was difficult because _________.

A. they neededto learn special skills

B. they couldn’tfeel a whole letter

C.they could not see them clearly

D.too many letters felt the same

3. With Louis’s system, blind people could read _________.

A. slower  B.easier  C. harder  D. louder

4. According to the passage, what can we learn from Louis?

A. Always follow the rules.

B. Be friendly with our friends.

C. Never give up and work hard.

D. Communicate more with others.

Gao Can, a 13-year-old girl, is the 1.   member of the Association of writers of Shaanxi(山西作家协会). She writes fairy tales, short 2.     , and most of all, poems. Gao said she began poem writing when she was in primary school. Once the teacher asked the class3.     a composition called “If I were …”. Gao had an idea, “why not make it a Poem?” That was her 4.    poem, and it won a lot of compliments from both her teacher and her classmates. So far, 5.    of her poems have come out.

“Writing poems is not difficult at all. Just express 6.      —what you do, what you see or what you think.” said Gao, “I don’t have enough life experience, so I write about nature, about things I feel inside.”

However, teenagers these days seldom write poems or read them 7.      exams want any kind of articles except poems.

But like Gao, there are still students who like poems. Hu Jingzhi is one of them. The 14-year-old boy said he was8.     in poem writing. But it was annoying that he couldn’t find many poem collections in nearby bookshops.

Gao agreed with Hu. She said today’s bookshops were filled with books on “9.     to give a successful speech”, “how to know what others think” or “how to make money 10.      ”.

“Poems won’t teach you how to make money, but the beautiful words clear your mind and activate your imagination.” said Gao, “At least, read poems—for the nice things in life.”

Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing. Three years ago, few people went swimming in the icy (冰冷的) water. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club (冬泳爱好者协会) and it has more than 2,000 members. The oldest member is 84 years old and the youngest member is only 7. The members do different jobs at different places. They may be workers, farmers, teachers, students and so on.

Though it is very cold in winter and the temperature of water in the lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy water. They enjoy themselves in the lakes when other people are wearing heavy clothes.

Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for their health. Mr. Chen is a good example. He is 69 years old, and he once had heart disease (心脏病) for 26 years. After ten years of winter-swimming, he is now in good health. Scientists are now studying the effects (影响) of winter-swimming on health.

Let’s Learn More about Each Other

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In many ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?

Hu Peng of Wuhan and four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they lived for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his friends went door to door in Caidian and asked the kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked these questions like —Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief (小偷) came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.What’s the Difference?

Last week the team gave a report to their class. There are lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages. The biggest difference is independence. Hu’s team said that 60 percent of city kids couldn’t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids could care for themselves.

City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with housework a lot. They cooked, did some cleaning and fed animals. Hu’s team also found that village kids had less pocket money (零花钱). Many never used computers. They played in rivers or on mountains. Some didn’t really like to make new friends.

Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence (自信) because they were doing something by themselves. But it also made them a little worried because they saw they still had a lot to learn. “When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us,” said Hu. “We have to learn to take care of ourselves.” Shen Guanquan, one of Hu’s friends said, “When children learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of things.”

1.How many city kids went to learn about village kids’ everyday lives?

A. Three.   B. Four.    C. Five.   D. Six.

2.They found that most village kids ________.

A. had no time for their study

3.From the article, the biggest difference is ___between city kids and village kids.

A. friends                B. Time

C. self-confidence         D. independence

4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means _________.

A. their trip        B. their report

C. village kids      D. city kids

5.Hu Peng and his friends finished their report by _________.

A. visiting schools in the village

B. questioning village kids and city kids
